PCA-6184 User’s Manual 2
Chapter 1 Hardware Configuration
1.1 Introduction
The PCA-6184 Series all-in-one industrial grade single board computer is
a high performance and full-featured computing engine. It meets most
industrial application requirements.
Advantech's PCA-6184 full-sized CPU card is designed with Intel 845
chipset and supports socket 478 Pentium® 4/Celeron™ processor (FSB
400MHz) up to 2.4 GHz and above. In addition to high-speed processor,
the PCA-6184 supports up to 2GB DDR200/DDR266 SDRAM memory
with 2 onboard DIMM socket. Ideal for high-performance and demand-
ing applications, it provides maximum computing power and productiv-
ity. Moreover, the PCA-6184 is built-in with ATI Rage 128 Pro 4XL and
32MB onboard VGA SDRAM. It features superior 3D performance with
AGP 4X. Single or dual Intel 82559 10/100Base-T Ethernet controller are
available in the PCA-6184 series. The high reliability and excellent per-
formance provided by Intel 82559 Ethernet controller are crucial for vari-
ous network applications. Flexible I/O expansion ports allow customers
to optimize their need for four USB, dual LAN port, and additional PS/2
keyboard & mouse port
A CMOS data backup is stored in the Flash memory, which protects data
even after a battery failure. Also included is a 255-level watchdog timer,
which resets the CPU or generates an interrupt if a program cannot be
executed normally. This enables reliable operation in unattended environ-
ments. The remote management interface enables the PCA-6184 to be
managed through Ethernet when it is connected to the SNMP-1000
Remote HTTP/SNMP System Manager..
Note: Some of the features mentioned above are not
available with all models. For more information
about the specifications of a particular model,
see Section 1.3 Specifications.

1.2 Features
1. Onboard hardware monitoring: System healthy status including
CPU fan, CPU temperature and system voltages levels are moni-
tored to ensure stable operation, proper system configuration and
management. A remote monitoring interface is reserved for remote
management through Ethernet by using Advantech's SNMP-1000
system management module.
2. ATX soft power switch: Through the BIOS, the power button can
be defined as the "Standby" (aka "Suspend" or "Sleep") button or as
the "Soft-Off" button. Regardless of the setting, pushing the power
button for more than 4 seconds will enter the Soft-Off mode.
3. Power-on by modem (requires modem): This allows a computer
to be turned on remotely through an internal or external modem.
Users can thus access information on their computers from any-
where in the world.
4. Power-on by LAN: This allows you to remotely power up your
system through your network by sending a wake-up frame or sig-
nal. With this feature, you can remotely upload/ download data to/
from systems during off-peak hours.
5. Message LED: Chassis LEDs now act as information providers.
The way a particular LED illuminates indicates the stage the com-
puter is in. A single glimpse provides useful information to the
user.
6. CMOS RAM backup: When BIOS CMOS setup has been com-
pleted, data in the CMOS RAM is automatically backed up to the
Flash ROM. This is particularly useful in industrial environments
which may cause soft errors. Upon such an error occurring, BIOS
will check the data, and automatically restore the original data for
booting.
7. More:
Additional metal bracket for board stabilization
•Power On by Alarm: Powers up your computer at a certain time.
•Virus warning: During and after system boot-up, any attempt to
write to the boot sector or partition table of the hard disk drive will
halt the system. In this case, a warning message will be displayed.
You can then run your anti-virus program to locate the problem.

1.6 Safety Precautions
1.7 Jumper Settings
This section provides instructions on how to configure your card by set-
ting jumpers. It also includes the card's default settings and your options
for each jumper.
1.7.1 How to set jumpers
You configure your card to match the needs of your application by setting
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 setting jumpers.
Warning! Always completely disconnect the power cord
from your chassis whenever you work with the
hardware. Do not make connections while the
power is on. Sensitive electronic components
can be damaged by sudden power surges. Only
experienced electronics personnel should open
the PC chassis.
Caution! The computer is provided with a battery-pow-
ered Real-time Clock circuit. There is a danger
of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with same or equivalent type rec-
ommended by the manufacturer. Discard used
batteries according to manufacturer's instruc-
tions

1.7.2 CMOS clear (J1)
The PCA-6184CPU card contains a jumper that can erase CMOS data
and reset the system BIOS information. Normally this jumper should be
set with pins 1-2 open. If you want to reset the CMOS data, set 1-2 pin for
just a few seconds, and then move the jumper back to 1-2 open. This pro-
cedure will reset the CMOS to its default setting.
1.7.3 Watchdog timer output (J2)
The PCA-6184 contains a watchdog timer that will reset the CPU or send
a signal to IRQ11 in the event the CPU stops processing. This feature
means the PCA-6184 will recover from a software failure or an EMI
problem. The J2 jumper settings control the outcome of what the com-
puter will do in the event the watchdog timer is tripped.

PCA-6184 User’s Manual 12
1.8 System Memory
The PCA-6184 contains two sockets for 184-pin dual memory modules
(DIMMs). All these sockets accept only 2.5 V DDR200/DDR266
SDRAM. DIMMs are available in capacities of 64,128, 256, 512 MB and
1 GB. The sockets can be filled in any combination with DIMMs of any
size, giving your PCA-6184 single board computer up to 2 GB of mem-
ory.
1.8.1 Supplementary information about DIMMs
Your PCA-6184 can accept only DDR memory modules with or without
parity. Also note:
• Chips with 9 chips/side support ECC; chips with 8 chips/side do not
support ECC.
1.9 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 automatically locked the mem-
ory 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.
1.10 Cache Memory
Since the second level (L2) cache has been embedded into the Pentium®
4/Celeron™ processor, you do not have to take care of either SRAM
chips or SRAM modules. The built-in second level cache in the Pen-
tium® 4 processor yields much higher performance than the external
cache memories. The cache size in the Pentium® 4 processor is 256/512
KB, depending on the type of CPU. The cache size in Celeron(TM) pro-
cessor is 128KB.
Table 1.5: DIMM memory capacity sample calculation

1.11 CPU Installation
The PCA-6184 provides socket 478 for an Pentium® 4 or Celeron ™ pro-
cessor. The CPU on the board must have a fan or heat sink attached, to
prevent overheating.
To install a CPU, first turn off your system and remove its cover. Locate
the processor socket 478.
1. Make sure the socket 478 lever is in the upright position. To raise
the lever, pull it out to the side a little and raise it as far as it will go.
2. Place the CPU in the empty socket. Follow the instructions that
came with the CPU. If you have no instructions, complete the fol-
lowing procedure. Carefully align the CPU so it is parallel to the
socket and the notches on the corners of the CPU correspond with
the notches on the inside of the socket. Gently slide the CPU in. It
should insert easily. If it does not insert easily, pull the lever up a
little bit more.
3. Press the lever down. The plate will slide forward. You will feel
some resistance as the pressure starts to secure the CPU in the
socket. This is normal and will not damage the CPU.
1.11.1 Power Supply
To ensure the sufficiency of power supply for Pentium® 4 CPU card, a
