PCE-5127/7127 User Manual 2
1.1 Introduction
PCE-5127/7127 is a PICMG 1.3 form-factor single host board which is designed with
Intel®Q77 (PCE-5127) and C2 16 (PCE-7127) PCH f or industrial ap plications that
need high computing power and strong I/O capability. PCE-5127/7127 supports 22
nm manufacturing technology, LGA1155 socket Intel® Core™ i7/i5/i3, Pentium® and
XeonTM processors that in tegrate memory an d graphic controllers and support s
DDR3 1333/1600 MHz SDRAM up to 16 GB. By supporting advanced computing
technology, PCE-5127/7127 is suitable for computing power hungry industrial appli-
cations.
PCE-5127/7127 performs excellent graphic processing capability by it s processor
integrated Intel® HD Graphics graphic core with shared memory around 1 GB when
2GB and above system memory installed. With this feature, PCE-5127/7127 can pro-
vide strong 2D/3D graphic processing power without a discrete graphic card to save
extra cost, power consumption and thermal design effort.
PCE-5127/7127 also has rich I/O interfa ces, and it ca n support Advantech PCE-
5BXX and 7BXX backplanes to offer various expansion slots such as PCI, PCI-X and
PCIe slots with its PCIe lanes that are configured as one x16 or two x8 and four x1.
New SATA Gen3 (600MB/sec) ports meet high data transfer performance applica-
tions, like storage and DVR. Six SATA ports support software RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 to be a
cost-effective data reliability so lution, three USB 3.0 ports reach 5Gbps high data
transfer application, the two on-board RS-232 serial ports are for COM port based
industrial control applications. With flexible I/O and graphic expandability, PCE-5127/
7127 can be an excellent, cost effective graphic or I/O oriented workstation class
hardware platform. With ou tstanding performance and exceptional features, PCE-
5127/7127 is the ideal computing platform for advanced industrial applications.
1.2 Features & Benefits
Note! PCE-5127 supports PCE-5Bxx backplanes;
PCE-7127 supports both PCE-5BXX and PCE-7BXX backplanes.
Please see below table for detail information.
Note! Only PCE-7127G2-00A1E supports Xeon® E3-1200v2 and E3-1200
series processors.
Features Benefits
PCE-5127/7127 Supports Intel 3rd and
2nd Generation processors
Intel’s 3rd and 2nd generation Core i7/i5/i3/Pen-
tium/Xeon processor cores with quad/dual-core
computing power brings quantum-leap perfor-
mance improvement.
PCE-5127/7127 supports DDR3 1333/
1600 SDRAM up to 16 GB
Provides higher memory data transmission and
processing efficiency, bringing higher system per-
formance.
*PCE-7127 supports ECC memory, but PCE-5127
does not.
PCE-5127 supports one x16 lane(s) for
supporting PCE-5BXX series BPs.
PCE-5127 supports one x16 lane(s) for supporting
Advantech backplanes 5BXX series.

1.4 Jumpers and Connectors
Connectors on the PCE-5127/7127 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.

1.8 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.

1.8.2 BIOS CMOS (JCMOS1)
The PCE-5127/7127 CPU card contains a jumper that can erase BIOS CMOS da ta
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 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 to its last status or default setting.

1.8.3 Watchdog timer output (JWDT1)
The PCE-5127/7127 contains a watchdog timer that will rese t the CPU in the eve nt
the CPU stops processing. This feature means the PCE-5127/7127 will recover from
a software failure or an EMI prob lem. The JWDT1 jumper settings control the o ut-
come 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-bo ard
security event acts.
1.9 System Memory
PCE-5127/7127 has two 240-pin memory sockets for (ECC) DDR3 1333/1600 MHz
memory modules with maximum capacity of 16 GB. (Maximum 8 GB for each DIMM)
PCE-5127 supports non-ECC DDR3 memory modules.
PCE-7127 supports ECC and non-ECC DDR3 memory modules.
