Product warranty
Advantech warrants to you, the original purchaser, that each of its products
will be free from defects in materials and workmanship for two years from
the date of purchase.
This warranty does not apply to any products which have been repaired or
altered by persons other than repair personnel authorized by Advantech, or
which have been subject to misuse, abuse, accident or improper installa-
tion. Advantech assumes no liability under the terms of this warranty as a
consequence of such events.
If an Advantech product is defective, it will be repaired or replaced at no
charge during the warranty period. For out-of-warranty repairs, you will be
billed according to the cost of replacement materials, service time and
freight. Please consult your dealer for more details.
If you think you have a defective product, follow these steps:
1. Collect all the information about the problem encountered. (For
example, type of PC, CPU speed, Advantech products used, other
hardware and software used, etc.) Note anything abnormal and list
any on-screen messages you get when the problem occurs.
2. Call your dealer and describe the problem. Please have your manual,
product, and any helpful information readily available.
3. If your product is diagnosed as defective, obtain an RMA (return
material authorization) number from your dealer. This allows us to
process your return more quickly.
4. Carefully pack the defective product, a fully-completed Repair and
Replacement Order Card and a photocopy proof of purchase date
(such as your sales receipt) in a shippable container. A product
returned without proof of the purchase date is not eligible for war-
ranty service.
5. Write the RMA number visibly on the outside of the package and
ship it prepaid to your dealer.

Initial Inspection
Before you begin installing your single board computer, please make sure
that the following materials have been shipped:
If any of these items are missing or damaged, contact your distributor or
sales representative immediately.
We have carefully inspected the PCA-6009 mechanically and electrically
before shipment. It should be free of marks and scratches and in perfect
working order upon receipt.
As you unpack the PCA-6009, check it for signs of shipping damage.
(For example, damaged box, scratches, dents, etc.) If it is damaged or it
fails to meet the specifications, notify our service department or your
local sales representative immediately. Also notify the carrier. Retain the
shipping carton and packing material for inspection by the carrier. After
inspection, we will make arrangements to repair or replace the unit.

ject to the following two conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and
2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide rea-
sonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a
commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio fre-
quency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual,
may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this device in a
residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be
required to correct the interference at his/her own expense. The user is advised that any
equipment changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance would void the compliance to FCC regulations and therefore, the user's
authority to operate the equipment.

General Information

PCA-6009 User Manual 2
Chapter 1 Hardware Configuration
1.1 Introduction
The PCA-6009 is designed with the Intel 915GV chipset and ICH6 (I/O
controller) to support 800 MHz Front side Bus, Intel Pentium 4/Celeron
D processor, high speed/high capacity dual channel DDRII 400/533
memory, and high performance I/O functions such as Gigabit Ethernet
ports, Serial/Parallel ATA ports, and PCI-Express host interface for LAN.
In compliance with PICMG 1.0 specification, PCA-6009 can be used
with a wide choice of existing PCI/ISA backplanes to meet versatile
requirements of industrial applications.
The PCA-6009 is designed to deliver high performance for industrial
applications. It uses Intel’s long-life 915GV and ICH6 chipset, capable
of running the fastest Pentium 4 and Celeron D processor. It has 2 DIMM
sockets in two separated memory channels. It accepts up to 2 GB DDRII
400/533 SDRAM memory, enough for most of applications. The PCA-
6009 features single Gigabit Ethernet network interface(s) .With the
Broadcom BCM5721 GbE controller designed-in, PCA-6009 implements
the PCI Express host interface (PCI-E X1) in LAN connection with the
maximum throughput of 2Gbps for heavy-duty industrial network appli-
cation. The Intel 915GV integrated VGA provides superior 3D perfor-
mance with unique Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900. Two Serial
ATA ports (up to 150MB/s) allows the use of thin and long SATA cables
for storage devices, eliminating cabling issues inside industrial-grade
chassis. In addition, the PCA-6009 also provides most of the popular I/O
interfaces such as four USB 2.0 ports, AC-97 audio interface, 2 RS-232
ports, one enhanced parallel port and floppy disk interface.
The PCA-6009 is designed with reliability considerations to suit indus-
trial environments. To prevent CPU damage from overheating, the PCA-
6009 features a thermal protection circuit that enables the processor to
automatically shut down when the cooling system fails.

1.2 Features
1. Supports 2 Serial-ATA devices
2. Supports Dual Channel DDRII 400/533 SDRAM up to 2 GB
3. Features a thermal protection circuit which will enable the proces-
sor to automatically shut down when the cooling system fails
4. Supports 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet
5. 4 USB 2.0 ports
6. CMOS automatic backup and restore to prevent accidental data loss
of BIOS setup data

1.4 Jumpers and Connectors
Connectors on the PCA-6009 single board computer link it to external
devices such as hard disk drives and a keyboard. In addition, the board has a
number of jumpers used to configure your system for your application.
The tables below list the function of each of the board jumpers and con-
nectors. Later sections in this chapter give instructions on setting jump-
ers. Chapter 2 gives instructions for connecting external devices to your
single board computer.
