2PCA-6740 User's Manual
1.1 Introduction
The PCA-6740 is the ultimate cost-effective solution for limited-
space applications. It offers all the functions of an AT-compatible
industrial computer on a single board. The PCA-6740 comes with
an embedded high-performance STPC Elite 133 processor and
32MB SDRAM on board. For maximum performance, the PCA-6740
also supports one optional SODIMM socket that can accept up to
64 MB memory.
On-board features include an Ethernet interface, a socket for DOC®
2000, Enhanced IDE interface, one parallel port, two serial ports
(RS-232 and RS-232/422/485) with DB-9 connector as COM1, and a
mini-DIN PS/2 keyboard/mouse interface. An SVGA/LCD display
controller (LCD, and CRT displays) allows LCD screen resolutions
up to 1024 x 768 @ 64K colors and CRT resolutions up to 1280 x
1024 @ 256 colors.
The PCA-6740 complies with the "Green Function" standard and
supports three types of power saving features: Normal, Doze and
Sleep modes.
The display type configuration is done through software. A single
Flash chip holds the system BIOS and the VGA BIOS. This
minimizes the number of chips and eases configuration. You can
change the display BIOS simply by programming the Flash chip.
If you need any additional functions, the PCA-6740 has a PC/104
connector for future upgrades.

Connecting
Peripherals
This chapter tells how to connect
peripherals, switches and indicators to the
PCA-6740 board. You can access most of
the connectors from the top of the board
while it is installed in the chassis. If you
have a number of cards installed, or your
chassis is very tight, you may need to
partially remove the card to make all the
connections.

2.4 Setting jumpers
2.4.1 Introduction
You may configure your card to match the needs of your application
by setting jumpers. A jumper is the simplest kind of electrical 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. To "close" a
jumper, you connect the pins with the clip. To "open” a jumper you
remove the clip. Sometimes a jumper will have three pins, labeled 1, 2,
and 3. In this case you would connect either pins 1 and 2 or 2 and 3.
A pair of needle-nose pliers may be helpful when working with
jumpers.
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.
Generally, you simply need a standard cable to make most connec-
tions.
