Certifications
This device complies with the requirements in part 15 of the FCC rules:
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
• This device may not cause harmful interference
• This device must accept any interference received, including interfer-
ence that may cause undesired operation
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interfer-
ence when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if
not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications. 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 modifi-
cations not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance
would void the compliance to FCC regulations and therefore, the user's
authority to operate the equipment.
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 manufac-
turer. Discard used batteries according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.

Product warranty
Advantech warrants to you, the original purchaser, that each of its prod-
ucts will be free from defects in materials and workmanship for two years
from the date of purchase.
This warranty does not apply to any products which have been repaired or
altered by persons other than repair personnel authorized by Advantech,
or which have been subject to misuse, abuse, accident or improper instal-
lation. Advantech assumes no liability under the terms of this warranty as
a consequence of such events.
If an Advantech product is defective, it will be repaired or replaced at no
charge during the warranty period. For out-of-warranty repairs, you will
be billed according to the cost of replacement materials, service time and
freight. Please consult your dealer for more details.
If you think you have a defective product, follow these steps:
1. Collect all the information about the problem encountered. (For
example, type of PC, CPU speed, Advantech products used, other
hardware 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 man-
ual, product, and any helpful 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 fully-completed Repair and
Replacement Order Card and a photocopy proof of purchase date
(such as your sales receipt) in a shippable container. A product
returned without proof of the purchase date is not eligible for war-
ranty service.
5. Write the RMA number visibly on the outside of the package and
ship it prepaid to your dealer.

Chapter 1 Hardware Configuration
1.1 Introduction
The PCA-6194 is designed with the Intel® Q965 chipset and ICH8DO (I/
O controller) to support Core™ 2 Duo, Dual-Core Pentium® D / Pen-
tium® 4 / Celeron® D processors with a 533/800/1066 MHz front side
bus and DDR2 533/667/800 MHz memory up to 8 GB. It follows the
PICMG 1.0 specification and is the best solution for high-performance
computing and applications in which a wide I/O bandwidth is demanded.
The PCA-6194 supports IPMI 2.0 for enhanced system management.
With this feature users may manage and monitor the system health status
remotely. Another remote management port allows users to monitor the
system health status and control the system remotely through standard
SNMP/HTTP protocols when used with Advantech’s ACMM-1000 and
SNMP-1000 Intelligent System Manager modules.
The PCA-6194 offers a high-performance cost-saving integrated graphics
unit, built into the Intel® Q965 chipset, and features the unique Intel®
Extreme Graphics architecture to maximize VGA performance and share
up to 256 MB of system memory. In addition, the PCA-6194 has a single/
dual Gigabit Ethernet LAN via dedicated PCI Express x 1 bus, which
offers bandwidths up to 500 MB/sec., eliminating the network data flow
bottlenecks, and incorporating Gigabit Ethernet to operate at 1000 Mbps.
High reliability and outstanding performance make the PCA-6194 the
ideal platform for industrial networking applications.
By using the Intel® ICH8DO chipset, the PCA-6194 offers six on-board
SATA2 interfaces (bandwidth = 300 MB/sec) with software RAID 0, 1,
5, 10 functions; and six USB 2.0 connections. These powerful I/O capa-
bilities ensure even more reliable data storage capabilities and suitable for
work with high-speed I/O peripherals.
The ICH8DO provides a new high definition audio interface. Combined
with Advantech's PCA-AUDIO-HDA1E module, the PCA-6194 offers
excellent audio functions for the industrial environment.
The PCA-6194 is designed with considerations for extended reliability,
and is built especially to suit demanding industrial environments. The
CMOS data backup and restore function protects the BIOS setup data
from loss due to battery failure. A 256-level watchdog timer prevents the
system from hanging up if a program cannot be executed normally.

3 Chapter1
The PCA-6194 also adopts Advantech's unique patented “Sleep Mode
Control Circuit” for AT Power Mode. With this thoughtful design, users
need NOT clear the CMOS after the system enters S3 mode. With all
these excellent features and outstanding performance, the PCA-6194 is
definitely the ideal platform for today's industrial applications.
