If you think you have a defective product, follow these steps:
1.Collect all the information about the problem encountered (e.g.
type of PC, CPU speed, Advantech products used, other hard-
ware 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 other 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 completely filled-out
Repair and Replacement Order Card and a photocopy of a dated

Introduction
The PCA-6153 is a half-size single board Pentium processor based
computer which can release the Pentium processor's full potential and
provide unprecedented performance compared to current 64-bit
processor boards. The PCM-6153 offers all the functions of an
industrial computer on a single board. For maximum performance,
the PCA-6153 is also equipped with a 512 KB pipeline burst SRAM
2ndlevel cache memory.
On-boardfeatures include one RS-232 port, one RS-232/422/485 port,
one multimode parallel (SPP/EPP/ECP) port, a floppy drive controller
and a keyboard and PS/2 mouse interface. The built-in high speed
PCI IDE controller supports both PIO and bus master modes. Up to
two IDE devices can be connected, including large hard disks, CD-
ROM drives, tape backup drives and other IDE devices.
The PCA-6153 includes power management features. It complies
with the "Green Function" standard and supports three types of power
saving features: Doze mode, Standby mode and Suspend mode. A
watchdog timer can automatically reset the system or generate an
interrupt should the system stop due to a program bug or electromag-
netic interference (EMI).

Jumpers and Connectors
Connectors on the board link it to external devices such as hard disk
drives, a keyboard, or floppy drives. In addition, the board has
jumpers which you use to configure it for your application.
The table below lists the function of each of the board jumpers and
connectors. Later sections in this chapter give instructions on setting
jumpers and detailed information on each jumper setting. Chapter 2
gives instructions for connecting external devices to your card.

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. Don’t 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.

Chapter 1 Hardware Configuration 11
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.
How to set jumpers
You configure your card to match the needs of your application by
setting jumpers. A jumper is the simplest kind of electric 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 connect either pins 1 and 2 or 2 and 3.
You may find pair of needle-nose pliers useful for setting the 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.
