1.1 Introduction
The PCA-6359 Series is a full-size CPU card designed with an
on-board Intel® Pentium® MMX CPU. Featuring powerful onboard
functions such as VGA, LCD, LAN, SCSI and SSD, the versatile
PCA-6359 Series can meet the needs of a great many different
applications.
Embedded Pentium® MMX CPU
The PCA-6359 Series is equipped with Intel's new embedded Pen-
tium® Tillamook MMX 266 MHz CPU. The CPU provides high
performance with low power consumption and better thermal manage-
ment.
Guaranteed long product supply time
In addition to the CPU, all the major components of the PCA-6359
Series are Intel® EMD solutions. These include the 430 TX system
chipset, C&T 69000 VGA/LCD controller, and 82559ER
10/100Base-T Ethernet. Unlike regular commercial solutions, Intel
EMD solutions provide higher system stability and longer product
supply time (Intel EMD products' typical life cycle is 5 years). This
guarantee is particularly important for end systems that will last for
years.

1.2 Features
1. ATX soft power switch: Through the BIOS, the power button can
be defined as the "Standby" (aka "Suspend" or "Sleep") button or
as the "Soft-Off" button (see Section 3.6.8 Soft-off by PWR-
BTN). Regardless of the setting, pushing the power button for
more than 4 seconds will enter the Soft-Off mode.
2. Wake-on-modem (requires modem): This allows a computer to be
turned on remotely through an internal or external modem. Users
can thus access information on their computers from anywhere in
the world!
3. Message LED: Chassis LEDs now act as information providers.
The way a particular LED illuminates indicates the stage the
computer is in. A single glimpse provides useful information to the
user.
4. 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.

5. 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 environ-
ments which may cause soft errors. Upon such an error occurring,
BIOS will check the data, and automatically restore the original
data for booting.

gadgets, or an optional remote controller
Virus warning: During and after system boot-up, any attempt
to write to the boot sector or partition table of the hard disk
drive will halt the system. In this case, a warning message will
be displayed. You can then run your anti-virus program to
locate the problem

1.5 Safety Precautions
Follow these simple precautions to protect yourself from harm and
your PC from damage.
1. To avoid electric shock, always disconnect the power from your
PC chassis before you work on it. Do not touch any components
on the CPU card or other cards while the PC is on.
2. Disconnect power before making any configuration changes. The
sudden rush of power as you connect a jumper or install a card
may damage sensitive electronic components.
3. Always ground yourself to remove any static charge before you
touch your CPU card. Be particularly careful not to touch the chip
connectors. Modern integrated electronic devices, especially CPUs
and memory chips, are extremely sensitive to static electric
discharges and fields. Keep the card in its antistatic packaging
when it is not installed in the PC, and place it on a static dissipa-
tive mat when you are working with it. Wear a grounding wrist
strap for continuous protection.

1.6 Jumper Settings
This section tells how to set the jumpers to configure your card. It
gives the card default configuration and your options for each jumper.
After you set the jumpers and install the card, you will also need to
run the BIOS Setup program (discussed in Chapter 3) to configure the
serial port addresses, floppy/hard disk drive types and system operat-
ing parameters. Connections, such as hard disk cables, appear in
Chapter 2.
For the locations of each jumper, see the board layout diagram
depicted earlier in this chapter.
You configure your card to match the needs of your application by
setting jumpers. A jumper is a metal bridge that closes an electrical
circuit. It consists of two metal pins and a small metal cap (often
protected by a plastic cover) that slides over the pins to connect them.
To "close" a jumper you connect the pins with the cap. To "open" a
jumper you remove the cap. Sometimes a jumper will have three pins,
labeled 1, 2 and 3. In this case you connect either pins 1 and 2 or 2 and
3.

If you have any doubts about the best hardware configuration for your
application, contact your local distributor or sales representative
before you make any changes.

1.6.1 Clear CMOS (J1)
Warning: To avoid damaging the computer, always turn off the
power supply before setting "Clear CMOS". Set the
jumper back to normal before turning on the power
supply.
To clear the RTC data:
1. Turn off the computer and unplug the AC power.
2. Short the 2-3 pins.
3. Hold down <Delete> during boot-up and enter the BIOS setup to
re-enter your preferences.

1.6.2 Watchdog output (J2)
An onboard watchdog timer reduces the chance of disruptions which
EMP (electro-magnetic pulse) interference can cause. This is an
invaluable protective device for standalone or unmanned applications.
Setup involves two jumpers and running the control software. (Refer
to Appendix A.)
When the watchdog timer is enabled and the CPU shuts down, the
watchdog timer will automatically either reset the system or generate
an interrupt on IRQ 11, depending on the setting of jumper JP4, as
shown below:

1.7 System Memory
The top-left edge of the PCA-6359 Series 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, or 128 MB. The sockets can be
filled in any combination with DIMMs of any size, giving your
PCA-6359 Series single board computer between 16 MB and 256 MB
of memory. Use the following table to calculate the total DRAM
memory within your computer:
Table 1-5: DIMM module allocation table

1.7.1 Sample calculation: DIMM memory capacity
Suppose you install a 128 MB DIMM into your PCA-6359 Series'
socket 1 and a 32 MB DIMM into socket 2. Your total system
memory is 160 MB, calculated as follows:

1.7.2 Supplementary information about DIMMs
Your PCA-6359 Series can accept SDRAM memory chips (with or
without parity). Also note:
• SDRAM chips are usually thinner and have higher pin density than
EDO chips.
• Modules with 9 chips/side support ECC; modules with 8 chips/side do not
support ECC.
• Single-sided modules are typically 16, 32 or 64 MB; double-sided
modules are usually 32, 64, or 128 MB.
1.8 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. To remove the memory module, just push both
handles outward, and the memory module will be ejected by the
mechanism in the socket.

The following sections tell how to make each connection. In most
cases, you will simply need to connect a standard cable. All of the
connector pin assignments are shown in Appendix B.
Warning! Always completely disconnect the power cord from
your chassis whenever you are working on it. Do not
make connections while the power is on. Sensitive
electronic components can be damaged by a
sudden rush of power. Only experienced electronics
personnel should open the PC chassis.
Caution! Always ground yourself to remove any static charge
before touching the CPU card. Modern electronic
devices are very sensitive to static electric charges.
Use a grounding wrist strap at all times. Place all
electronic components on a static-dissipative
surface or in a static-shielded bag when they are not
in the chassis.

2.2 Primary (CN1) and Secondary (CN2) IDE
Connectors
You can attach up to four IDE (Integrated Device Electronics) drives
to the PCA-6359 Series' internal controller. The primary (CN1) and
secondary (CN2) connectors can each accommodate two drives.
Wire number 1 on the cable is red or blue and the other wires are
gray. Connect one end to connector CN1 or CN2 on the CPU card.
Make sure that the red/blue wire corresponds to pin 1 on the connec-
tor (in the upper right hand corner). See Chapter 1 of this manual for
help finding the connector.
Unlike floppy drives, IDE hard drives can connect in either position
on the cable. If you install two drives to a single connector, you will
need to set one as the master and one as the slave. You do this by
setting the jumpers on the drives. If you use just one drive per
connector, you should set each drive as the master. See the documen-
tation that came with your drive for more information.
Connect the first hard drive to the other end of the cable. Wire 1 on
the cable should also connect to pin 1 on the hard drive connector,
which is labeled on the drive circuit board. Check the documentation
that came with the drive for more information.
Connect the second hard drive to the remaining connector (CN2 or
CN1), in the same way as described above.

SCSI Setup and
Configurations
(PCA-6359F only)
The PCA-6359F features an onboard
SCSI interface. This chapter provides
basic SCSI concepts and instructions for
installing the software drivers with the
SCSI driver CD/disks included in your
package.
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
6.1 Introduction
The PCA-6359F is equipped with a Symbios SYM53C875E
single-chip PCI-to-SCSI host adapter which provides a powerful Ultra
Wide 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 SYM53C875E.
The Symbios SYM53C875E is a 16-bit single-ended SCSI solution
for your computer. It can support both legacy Fast SCSI and Ultra
SCSI devices, as well as the newest Ultra Wide SCSI devices.
If you need to configure the SCSI, the onboard SCSI Select configura-
tion utility allows you to change host adapter settings without opening
the computer or handling the board. The SCSI Select utility also
contains a utility to low-level format and verifies the disk media on
your hard disk drives.
6.2 Before You Begin
SDMS software requires an IBM PC/AT or compatible computer with
an 80486 or higher microprocessor. An understanding of basic
operating system commands is assumed. In addition, users should
have a general knowledge of the SCSI standard.
Before using the SDMS software, you should configure the Symbios
SCSI controller into your system, taking into account the configura-
tion of other host adapters and system resources (see Section 6.3).
Symbios recommends that you back up all data before making any
changes or installing any software, including the Symbios SCSI
controllers and software. Failure to adhere to this accepted computer
practice may lead to loss of data.

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. The devices are then set at IDs 0
through 6 (plus 8 through 15 for Wide SCSI). The bootable hard drive
must have the lowest numerical SCSI ID, unless you are able to use
the BIOS Boot Specification (BBS).
The red or blue line on a standard SCSI cable (or the black line on one
end of a multi-colored SCSI cable) designates Pin One on the cable
connector, and must connect to Pin One on the device or host adapter
connector. Refer to Appendix B of this manual to find Pin One of the
connector.
6.4 Configuring the SCSI Adapter
Access the SCSI BIOS by holding down both the CTRL and C keys
when you see the BIOS banner message listing the driver name and
the attached devices. For example:
Symbios Inc. SDMS (TM) V 4.0 PCI SCSI BIOS
PCI Rev. 2.0, 2.1
Copyright 1995, 1998 Symbios Inc.
PCI-4.14.00
Press Ctrl-C to start Symbios Configuration
Utility...
The SCSI Select screen will come up. Instructions on how to move the
cursor and select options are listed on the bottom of the program
windows. You can select either Configure/View Host Adapter
Settings or SCSI CD Utilities.
Chapter 6 SCSI Setup and Configurations (PCA-6359F only)
79
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
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).
Since the method for terminating a SCSI peripheral can vary widely,
refer to the peripheral’s documentation for instructions on how to
enable or disable termination. Here are some general guidelines for
termination:
• Termination on internal SCSI peripherals is usually controlled by
manually setting a jumper or switch on the peripheral, or by
physically removing or installing one or more resistor modules on
the peripheral.
• Termination on external SCSI peripherals is usually controlled by
installing or removing a SCSI terminator. On some external
peripherals, termination is controlled by setting a switch on the rear
of the drive.
• By default, termination on the CPU card itself is automatic (the
preferred method).
• Internal Ultra Wide peripherals are set at the factory with termina-
tion disabled, which cannot be changed. Proper termination for
internal Ultra Wide peripherals is provided by the built-in termina-
tor at the end of the Ultra Wide internal SCSI cable.
• Most non-Ultra Wide SCSI peripherals come from the factory with
termination enabled.

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, 4.11 (NWPA)
Note:
When you start the Windows NT installation with
either a CD-ROM boot or from the floppy disks, a
black screen will initially appear with the following
text at the top:
Setup is inspecting your computer’s
hardware configuration...
While this is on the screen (before entering the initial
blue screen), press the F6 key. Windows NT setup
will allow a SCSI driver to be added before the
second disk is requested. Add the appropriate driver
from a prepared floppy disk. Follow the rest of the
instructions to finish the installation.

B.13 Power LED and Keylock Connector
(CN16)
You can use an LED to indicate when the CPU card is on. Pin 1 of
CN16 supplies the LED's power, and Pin 3 is the ground.
You can use a switch (or a lock) to disable the keyboard so that the
PC will not respond to any input. This is useful if you do not want
anyone to change or stop a program which is running. Simply
connect the switch from Pin 4 to Pin 5 of CN16.

DiskOnChip 2000 when its drivers are automatically loaded into
the system's memory.
5. At this stage, the DiskOnChip 2000 can be accessed as any disk in
the system.
6. If the DiskOnChip 2000 is the only disk in the system, it will
appear as the first disk (drive C: in DOS).
7. If there are more disks besides the DiskOnChip 2000, the DiskOn-
Chip 2000 will appear by default as the last drive, unless it was
programmed as the first drive. (Please refer to the DiskOnChip
2000 utilities user manual.)
8. If you want the DiskOnChip 2000 to be bootable:
a. Copy the operating system files to the DiskOnChip by using the
standard DOS command (for example, SYS d:).
b.The DiskOnChip should be the only disk in the systems or
would be configured as the first disk in the system (c:) using the
DUPDATE utility.

D.1 LCD Services
LCD screens are very popular on Advantech's CPU cards, biscuit PCs
and POS series products. These include the PCA-6359 Series,
PCA-6135/6145/6153, and PCA-6751/6751V. "Lighting" LCDs is
virtually impossible without technical expertise. Advantech provides
LCD lighting and integration services to assist our customers in
setting up their systems. Advantech's LCD lighting guide explains
how to make connections between LCD interfaces and LCD panels, as
well as how to control contrast, brightness, VEE source, LCD inverter
and all other matters pertaining to the successful installation of LCD
panels.
The following is a summary of our LCD lighting services:
a) This policy is only valid for Advantech products that include LCD
support
b) The customer should send the following LCD components for
service:
• DC-AC inverter and cable (i.e. connector with/without wires)
and datasheet
• LCD flat panel and cable (connector with/without wires) and
complete datasheet
c) Advantech will normally charge the customer a deposit. The
deposit will be refunded when servicing exceeds a minimum
volume
d) The customer must sign the agreement and fax it to us prior to
sending the LCD package. Advantech reserves the right to refuse
service if the customer cannot provide the required documents and
auxiliary parts
e) Advantech will supply a BIOS file and connection cable to the
customer upon completing the service
f) A minimum of seven working days is required for completion of
service, starting from receipt of the LCD package by Advantech
