rials, service time, and freight. Please consult your dealer for more details.
If you believe your product is defective, follow the steps outlined below.
1. Collect all the information about the problem encountered. (For example, CPU
speed, Advantech products used, other hardware and software used, etc.) Note
anything abnormal and list any onscreen messages displayed when the prob-
lem 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 a return merchandise authori-
zation (RMA) number from your dealer. This allows us to process your return
more quickly.
4. Carefully pack the defective product, a completed Repair and Replacement
Order Card, and a proof of purchase date (such as a photocopy of your sales
receipt) into a shippable container. Products returned without a proof of pur-
chase date are not eligible for warranty service.

Initial Inspection
Before you begin installing your motherboard, please make sure that the following
materials have been shipped:
If any of these items are missing or damaged, contact your distributor or sales repre-
sentative immediately. We have carefully inspected the PCA-6029 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-6029, check it for signs of ship-
ping 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 arrange-
ments to repair or replace the unit.

PCA-6029 User Manual 2
1.1 Introduction
PCA-6029 is a PICMG 1.0 form-factor single host board which is designed with
Intel® H110 PCH for industrial applications that need high computing power and
strong I/O capability.PCA-6029 supports 22nm manufacturing technology, LGA1151
socket Intel® Core™ i7/i5/i3 and Pentium® processors that integrate memory and
graphic controllers and support DDR4 2133/2400 MHz SDRAM up to 32 GB. By sup-
porting advanced computing technology, PCA-6029 is suitable for computing power
hungry industrial applications.
PCA-6029 has excellent graphic processing capability with its integrated Intel® HD
graphics core with shared system memory dependent upon OS configuration. With
this feature, PCA-6029 provides strong 2D/3D graphic processing power without a
discrete graphic card to save extra cost, power consumption and thermal design
effort.
PCA-6029 also has multiple I/O interfaces, and can support Advantech PICMG 1.0
compatible backplanes to offer various expansion slots such as PCI and ISA slots.
New SATA Gen3 (600MB/sec) ports meet high data transfer requests, like storage
and DVR. Three SATA ports, two USB 3.0 ports reach 5Gbps high data transfer
application, the two on-board RS-232 serial ports are COM ports for industrial control
applications. With flexible I/O and graphic expansibility, PCA-6029 is an excellent,
cost effective graphic or I/O oriented workstation class platform. With outstanding
performance and exceptional features, PCA-6029 is the ideal computing platform for
advanced industrial applications.

1.4 Jumpers and Connectors
Connectors on the PCA-6029 single host board 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 connectors. Later
sections in this chapter give instructions on setting jumpers. Chapter 2 gives instruc-
tions for connecting external devices to your motherboard.

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.
