1.7 Safety Precautions
1.8 Jumper Settings
This section provides instructions on how to configure your motherboard by setting
the jumpers. It also includes the motherboard’s default settings and your options for
each jumper.
1.8.1 How to set jumpers
You can configure your motherboard to match the needs of your application by set-
ting the jumpers. A jumper is a metal bridge that closes an electrical circuit. 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” (or turn ON) a jumper, you connect the pins
with the clip. To “open” (or turn OFF) a jumper, you remove the clip. Sometimes a
jumper consists of a set of three pins, labeled 1, 2 and 3. In this case you connect
either pins 1 and 2, or 2 and 3. A pair of needle-nose pliers may be useful when set-
ting jumpers.
Warning! Always completely disconnect the power cord from your chassis when-
ever you work with the hardware. Do not make connections while the
power is on. Sensitive electronic components can be damaged by sud-
den power surges. Only experienced electronics personnel should open
the PC chassis.
Caution! Always ground yourself to remove any static charge before touching the
motherboard. Modern electronic devices are very sensitive to static
electrical discharges. As a safety precaution, 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.
Caution! The computer is provided with a battery-powered Real-time Clock.
There is a danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace
only with same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer.
Discard used batteries according to manufacturer's instructions.
Caution! There is a danger of a new battery exploding if it is incorrectly installed.
Do not attempt to recharge, force open or heat the battery. Replace the
battery only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the man-
ufacturer. Discard used batteries according to the manufacturer’s
instructions.

Chapter 1 Hardware Configuration
1.8.2 BIOS CMOS (JCMOS1)
The PCA-6028 CPU card contains a jumper that can erase BIOS CMOS/ME data
and reset the system BIOS information. Normally this jumper should be set with pins
1-2 closed. If you want to reset those data, set JCMOS1/JME1 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/ME to its last status or default setting.
1.8.3 Watchdog timer output (JWDT1)
The PCA-6028 contains a watchdog timer that will reset the CPU in the event the
CPU stops processing. This feature means the PCA-6028 will recover from a soft-
ware failure or an EMI problem. The JWDT1 jumper settings control the outcome of
what the computer will do in the event the watchdog timer is tripped.
(JOBS1) is a 2-pin connector for setting enable/disable alarm while the on-board
security event acts.

1.9 System Memory
PCA-6028 has two 240-pin memory sockets for (non-ECC) DDR3 1600 MHz memory
modules with maximum capacity of 16 GB. (Maximum 8 GB for each DIMM)
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 auto-
matically 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 mod-
ule will be ejected by the mechanism in the socket.
1.11 Cache Memory
CPUs supported by PCA-6028 have 8 MB, 6 MB, 3 MB L3 cache memory sizes.
1.12 Processor Installation
The PCA-6028 is designed for Intel® LGA 1150 socket processors.
1. Pull the bar beside the processor socket outward and lift it.
Note! PCA-6028 does NOT support registered DIMMs (RDIMMs).
Note! Please refer to Intel CPU data sheet for detail information.
Warning! Without a fan or heat sink, the processor will overheat and cause dam-
age to both the processor and the single board computer. To install a
processor, first turn off your system.
