tion manual, may cause harmful interference to radio commu-
nications.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 responsi-
ble for compliance would void the compliance to FCC regula-
tions and therefore, the user’s authority to operate the
equipment.
Caution!
Achtung!
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 manufacture. Discard used batter-
ies according to the manufacture’s instruction.

PCI-6870 User’s Manual 2
Chapter 1 General Information
1.1 Introduction
The PCI-6870 all-in-one industrial grade PCI-bus CPU card uses
Intel’s highly acclaimed Celeron®processor or Pentium®III
processor, together with the Intel 815E PCI chipset.
The CPU provides 128/256 KB (or 256/512 KB for Pentium III) on-
CPU L2 cache, eliminating the need for external SRAM chips. It
has two PCI EIDE interfaces for up to four devices and a floppy
disk drive interface for up to two devices. Other features include
two serial ports (16C550 UARTs with 16-byte FIFO or compatible),
one enhanced parallel port (supports SPP/EPP/ECP) and two USB
(Universal Serial Bus) ports. The PCI enhanced IDE controller
supports Ultra DMA100, Ultra DMA33 and PIO Mode 4 operation.
This provides data transfer rates of over 33 MB/sec. System BIOS
supports boot-up from an IDE, CD-ROM, USB devices, and LS-
120.
A backup of CMOS data is stored in the Flash memory, which
protects data even after a battery failure. Also included is a 62-
level Watchdog timer which resets the CPU or generates an
interrupt if a program cannot be executed normally. This enables
reliable operation in unattended environments.
The PCI-6870 offers several impressive industrial features such as
VGA (AGP) controller, one DIMM slot for up to 512 MB RAM
memory and a 10/100Base-T Ethernet controller. In addition, the
PCI-6870 series supports a solid state disk (SSD) using a
CompactFlashTM. Type II disk that is not as vulnerable to the
hazards of an industrial computing environment. These features
make it an ideal choice for applications that require both high
performance and full functionality.

Installation
This chapter explains the setup procedures
of PCI-6870 hardware, including instruc-
tions on setting jumpers and connecting
peripherals, switches and indicators. Be
sure to read all safety precautions before
you begin the installation procedure.
CHAPTER

PCI-6870 User’s Manual 8
Chapter 2 Installation
2.1 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 dissipative mat when you are
working with it. Wear a grounding wrist strap for continuous
protection.
