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.
