CHAPTER 1 Hardware Configuration This chapter gives background information on the PCA-6178. It then shows you how to configure the card to match your application and prepare it for installation into your PC.
1.1 Introduction The PCA-6178 Series all-in-one industrial grade CPU card uses Intel's highly acclaimed Pentium® III processor, together with the Intel 440BX PCI chipset. The card works with standard ISA or PCI/ISA-bus passive backplanes. The CPU provides 256 KB on-CPU L2 cache, eliminating the need for external SRAM chips. It has two PCI EIDE interfaces (for up to four devices) and a floppy disk drive interface (for up to two devices).
1.2 Features 1. Fan status monitoring and alarm: To prevent system overheating and damage, the CPU fan can be monitored for speed and failure. The fan is set for its normal RPM range, and alarm thresholds. 2. Temperature monitoring and alert: To prevent system overheating and damage, the CPU card supports processor thermal sensing and auto-protection. 3. Voltage monitoring and alert: System voltage levels are monitored to ensure stable current flows to critical components.
8. Jumper free mode: When enabled, this allows processor settings and easy overclocking of frequency and Vcore voltages all through the BIOS setup. Easy-to-use DIP switches instead of jumpers are included in case you want to manually adjust the processor's external frequency. 9. CMOS RAM backup: When BIOS CMOS setup has been completed, data in the CMOS RAM is automatically backed up to the Flash ROM. This is particularly useful in industrial environments which may cause soft errors.

1.7 Safety Precautions Warning! Always completely disconnect the power cord from your chassis whenever you work with the hardware. Do not make connections while the power is on. Sensitive electronic components can be damaged by sudden power surges. Only experienced electronics personnel should open the PC chassis. Caution! 12 Always ground yourself to remove any static charge before touching the CPU card. Modern electronic devices are very sensitive to static electric charges.
1.8 Jumper Settings This section provides instructions on how to configure your card by setting jumpers. It also includes the card's default settings and your options for each jumper. 1.8.1 How to set jumpers You configure your card to match the needs of your application by setting jumpers. A jumper is the simplest kind of electric switch. It consists of two metal pins and a small metal clip (often protected by a plastic cover) that slides over the pins to connect them.

1.8.4 CMOS clear (J1) The PCA-6178 CPU card contains a jumper that can erase CMOS data and reset the system BIOS information. Normally this jumper should be set with pins 1-2 closed. If you want to reset the CMOS data, set J1 to 2-3 closed for just a few seconds, and then move the jumper back to 1-2 closed. This procedure will reset the CMOS to its default setting. Table 1-5: CMOS clear (J1) Function Jumper setting * Keep CMOS data 1-2 closed Clear CMOS data 2-3 closed 1 1 * default setting 1.8.
1.8.6 DiskOnChip® 2000 Flash disk address select (J3) The PCA-6178 includes a 32-pin socket for M-Systems' DiskOnChip® 2000 Flash disk module. This revolutionary solid state disk enables critical system information to be stored within an on-board Flash disk for virtually instantaneous data access. You must specify the memory address you want to use for your DiskOnChip 2000 Flash disk module by setting jumper (J3).

1.9 System Memory The top-left edge of the PCA-6178 contains three sockets for 168-pin dual inline memory modules (DIMMs). All three sockets use 3.3 V unbuffered synchronous DRAMs (SDRAM). DIMMs are available in capacities of 16, 32, 64, 128, or 256 MB. The sockets can be filled in any combination with DIMMs of any size, giving your PCA-6178 single board computer between 16 MB and 768 MB of memory.
1.9.2 Supplementary information about DIMMs Your PCA-6178 can accept SDRAM memory chips (with or without parity). Also note: • If the PCA-6178 operates at 100 MHz, only use PC/100-compliant DIMMs. Most systems will not even boot if non-compliant modules are used. This is due to strict timing issues involved at this speed. • SDRAM chips are usually thinner and have higher pin density than EDO chips. • Chips with 9 chips/side support ECC; chips with 8 chips/side do not support ECC.
1.10 Memory Installation Procedures To install DIMMs, first make sure the two handles of the DIMM socket are in the "open" position. i.e. The handles lean outward. Slowly slide the DIMM module along the plastic guides on both ends of the socket. Then press the DIMM module right down into the socket, until you hear a click. This is when the two handles have automatically locked the memory module into the correct position of the DIMM socket (see Figure 1-3).
1.12 CPU Installation The PCA-6178 provides a socket 370 for an Intel® Celeron™/Coppermine processor. The CPU on the board must have a fan or heat sink attached, to prevent overheating. Warning: Without a fan or heat sink, the CPU will overheat and cause damage to both the CPU and the motherboard. To install a CPU, first turn off your system and remove its cover. Locate the processor socket 370. 1. Make sure the socket 370 lever is in the upright position.

CHAPTER 3 Award BIOS Setup This chapter describes how to set the card’s BIOS configuration data.
3.1 Introduction Award’s BIOS ROM has a built-in setup program that allows users to modify the basic system configuration. This type of information is stored in battery-backed RAM so that it retains the setup information when the power is turned off. 3.2 Entering Setup Turn on the computer and check for the “patch code”. If there is a number assigned to the patch code, it means that the BIOS supports your CPU.
3.3 Standard CMOS Setup Choose the “STANDARD CMOS SETUP” option from the “INITIAL SETUP SCREEN” menu, and the screen below will be displayed. This standard setup menu allows users to configure system components such as date, time, hard disk drive, floppy drive, display, and memory. Base Memory = 640K Extended Memory = 130048K Other Memory = 384K Total Memory = 131072K Figure 3-2: Standard CMOS Setup screen 3.3.1 CMOS RAM backup The CMOS RAM is powered by an onboard button cell battery.
3.4 BIOS Features Setup The “BIOS FEATURES SETUP” screen appears when choosing the “BIOS FEATURES SETUP” item from the “CMOS SETUP UTILITY” menu. It allows the user to configure the PCA-6178 according to his particular requirements. Below are some major items that are provided in the BIOS FEATURES SETUP screen. A quick booting function is provided for your convenience. Simply enable the Quick Booting item to save yourself valuable time. Figure 3-3: BIOS features setup screen 3.4.
3.4.2 Quick Power On Self Test This option speeds up the Power-On Self Test (POST) conducted as soon as the computer is turned on. When enabled, BIOS shortens or skips some of the items during the test. When disabled, the computer conducts normal POST procedures. 3.4.3 Boot Sequence This function determines the sequence in which the computer will search the drives for the disk operating system (i.e. DOS).
3.4.4 Boot Up Floppy Seek During Power-On Self Test (POST), BIOS will determine if the floppy disk drive installed is 40 or 80 tracks. A 360 KB type drive is 40 tracks; while 720 KB, 1.2 MB, and 1.44 MB type drives are all 80 tracks. Enabled BIOS searches the floppy drive to determine if it is 40 or 80 tracks. Note that BIOS cannot differentiate 720 KB, 1.2 MB, and 1.44 MB type drives. This is because they are all 80 tracks. Disabled BIOS will not search for the floppy drive type by track number.
3.4.9 Typematic Delay (msec) Typematic delay is the time interval between the appearance of two consecutive characters, when holding down a key. The input values for this category are: 250, 500, 750, 1000 (msec). 3.4.10 Security Option This setting determines whether the system will boot up if the password is denied. Access to Setup is, however, always limited. System The system will not boot, and access to Setup will be denied if the correct password is not entered at the prompt.
3.4.14 C8000-CBFFF Shadow / DC000-DFFFF Shadow These determine whether optional ROM will be copied to RAM in blocks of 16 KB. Enabled Optional shadow is enabled. Disabled Optional shadow is disabled. 3.5 Chipset Features Setup By choosing the “CHIPSET FEATURES SETUP” option from the INITIAL SETUP SCREEN menu, the screen below will be displayed. This sample screen contains the manufacturer’s default values for the PCA-6178.

CHAPTER 6 SCSI Setup and Configurations The PCA-6178 features an onboard SCSI interface. This chapter provides basic SCSI concepts and instructions for installing the software drivers with the SCSI driver disks/CD included in your package.
6.1 Introduction The PCA-6178 is equipped with a Symbios SYM53C895 single-chip PCI-to-SCSI host adapter which provides a powerful Ultra2 multitasking interface between your computer’s PCI bus and SCSI devices (disk drives, CD-ROM drives, scanners, tape backups, removable media drives, etc.). Up to a total of 15 SCSI devices can be connected to the SCSI connector through the Symbios SYM53C895. The SYMBIOS 53C895 is a 16-bit, LVD/SE (Low Voltage Differential/Single-Ended) SCSI solution for your computer.
6.3 Basic Rules for SCSI Host Adapter and Device Installation You must terminate both ends of the SCSI bus. Refer to the hardware manuals for the devices and the host adapter to properly terminate the bus. Unless your system is SCSI Configured AutoMatically (SCAM) capable, you must configure each SCSI device with a different SCSI ID number. Refer to the hardware manuals for the devices to locate where the jumpers of dip switches are for setting SCSI ID numbers. Usually, the host adapter is ID 7.
6.5 SCSI Terminators To ensure reliable communication, the SCSI bus must be properly terminated. Termination is controlled by a set of electrical resistors, called terminators. Terminators must be placed (or enabled) at the two extreme ends of the SCSI bus. All devices that lie between the ends must have their terminators removed (or disabled).
6.6 SDMS Drivers The SDMS device drivers translate an operating system I/O request into a SCSI request. Each Symbios SCSI device driver is operating system specific and is designed to work on standard Symbios chip implementations. We provide PCI SDMS device drivers for the following operating systems: • MS-DOS/Windows • Windows 95/98 • Windows NT - 3.51 and above • OS/2 4.x Warp • SCO UNIX - Open Server 5.0.2 and above • Novell NetWare - 3.12, 4.

CHAPTER 7 Onboard Security Setup This chapter explains OBS concepts and provides instructions for installing the relevant software drivers. This is done using the OBS driver CD included in your PCA-6178 package.
7.1 Introduction Onboard security (OBS) functions monitor key hardware. They help you maintain your system's stability and durability. The PCA-6178 can monitor 5 sets of system positive voltages, 2 sets of system negative voltages, CPU cooling fan speed, and CPU temperature. The positive system voltage sets which can be monitored include: • CPU core voltage: 1.3 V ~ 3.3 V, according to Intel specifications • Transmission voltage from CPU to chipset: typically 1.5 V • Chipset voltage: typically 3.
7.2.2 Windows 95 drivers setup procedure 1.
2. If your operating system is Win95, you will see the following screen images after running the driver. You must then reboot your system, start the procedure from Step 1 again, and then proceed directly to Step 3.
Follow the screen instructions to install the software.
3. Choose the Directory you want to install the files to. 4. Let the installation continue, and complete the setup.
5. Using your file manager, click on "Hardware Doctor" in drive C:, and then click on W83781".
6. It is recommended that you load the default values for all the OBS settings. However, if desired, you can establish new conditions for voltage, fan speed and temperature.
7. "Winbond Hardware Doctor" will show an icon on the right side of the bottom window bar. This icon is the "Terminate and Stay Resident" (TSR) icon. It will permanently remain in the bottom window bar, and will activate warning signals when triggered by the onboard security system. .
8. Click on "Setting", then "Monitoring Config." While enabling each OBS function, you can choose "Faults 1". This will result in a warning message being delivered as soon as any monitored reading exceeds safe limits for the first time. Alternatively, you can set up "Count 3". This will result in a warning message being delivered only after any monitored reading exceeds safe limits for a third time. It is recommended that you load the default settings for all the OBS functions.
9. After completing the setup, all the OBS functions are permanently enabled. When a monitored reading exceeds safe limits, a warning message will be displayed and an error beep tone will activate to attract your attention.
7.3 Windows NT driver setup procedure Insert driver CD to start the NT driver setup 1. Click "Next".
2. Click "Next". 3. Click "Next".
4. Start the installation. 5. Finish the set up.
6. Click "OK" to restart the computer.

APPENDIX A Programming the Watchdog Timer The PCA-6178 is equipped with a watchdog timer that resets the CPU or generates an interrupt if processing comes to a standstill for any reason. This feature ensures system reliability in industrial standalone or unmanned environments.
A.1 Programming the Watchdog Timer To program the watchdog timer, you must write a program which writes I/O port address 443 (hex). The output data is a time interval value. The value range is from 01 (hex) to 3F (hex), and the related time interval is 1 sec. to 63 sec. 104 Data Time Interval 01 1 sec. 02 2 sec. 03 3 sec. 04 4 sec. • • • • • • 3F 63 sec.
After data entry, your program must refresh the watchdog timer by rewriting I/O port 443 (hex) while simultaneously setting it. When you want to disable the watchdog timer, your program should read I/O port 443 (hex).
