Product Warranty (2 years)
Advantech warrants to you, the original purchaser, that each of its products will be
free from defects in materials and workmanship for two years from the date of pur-
chase.
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 installation. Advantech assumes no
liability under the terms of this warranty as a consequence of such events.
Because of Advantech’s high quality-control standards and rigorous testing, most of
our customers never need to use our repair service. If an Advantech product is defec-
tive, 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, CPU
speed, Advantech products used, other hardware and software used, etc.) Note
anything abnormal and list any onscreen messages you get when the problem
occurs.
2. Call your dealer and describe the problem. Please have your manual, product,
and any helpful information readily available.
3. If your product is diagnosed as defective, obtain an RMA (return merchandise
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 warranty service.
5. Write the RMA number visibly on the outside of the package and ship it prepaid
to your dealer.

1.1 Introduction
The PCA-6011 is designed with the Intel® G41 + ICH7/ICH7R (only for G2 SKU) to
support Core™ 2 Quad / Core™ 2 Duo /channel 440 processors (refer to “Processor
Support” on page v) with a 800/1066/1333 MHz front side bus and dual channel
DDR3 800/1066/1333 MHz memory up to 8 GB. It follows the PICMG 1.0 specifica-
tion and is the best solution for high-performance computing and applications that
demand a wide I/O bandwidth.
The PCA-6011 offers a high-performance cost-saving integrated graphics unit, built
into the Intel® G41 chipset, and features the unique Intel® GMA X4500 technology,
including built-in support for smooth high-definition video playback without the need
for add-on video cards or decoders. It has 2 DIMM sockets in two separate memory
channels. It accepts up to 8 GB DDR3 SDRAM memory--plenty for most applications.
The PCA-6011 supports 1 to 2 Gigabit Ethernet LAN via dedicated PCI Express x 1
bus, which offers bandwidths up to 500 MB/sec., eliminating network data flow bottle-
necks, and incorporating Gigabit Ethernet to operate at 1000 Mbps. High reliability
and outstanding performance make the PCA-6011 the ideal platform for industrial
networking applications.
Four Serial ATA ports (up to 300 MB/s) allow the use of long, thin SATA cables for
storage devices, eliminating cabling issues inside the industrial-grade chassis. In
addition, the PCA-6011 also provides most of the popular I/O interfaces including up
to eight USB 2.0 ports, 2 RS-232 ports, one enhanced parallel port and a floppy disk
interface.
The PCA-6011 is designed 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.
The PCA-6011 also adopts Advantech's unique patented “AT Mode Control Circuit”

1.7 Safety Precautions
1.8 Jumper Settings
This section provides instructions on how to configure your PCA-6011 by setting the
jumpers. It also includes the PCA-6011's default settings and your options for each
jumper.
1.8.1 How to set jumpers
You can configure your PCA-6011 to match the needs of your application by setting
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.
1.8.2 CMOS clear (CMOS1)
The PCA-6011 single board computer contains a jumper that can erase CMOS data
and reset the system BIOS information. Normally this jumper should be set with pins
1-2 closed. If you want to reset the CMOS data, set CMOS1 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 default setting.
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! Always ground yourself to remove any static charge before touch-
ing the boards. Modern electronic devices are very sensitive to
static electric charges. 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
circuit. There is a danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly
replaced. Replace only with same or equivalent type recom-
mended 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 bat-
tery. Replace the battery only with the same or equivalent type rec-
ommended by the manufacturer. Discard used batteries according
to the manufacturer’s instructions.

1.8.3 Watchdog timer output (JWDT1)
The PCA-6011 contains a watchdog timer that will reset the CPU in the event the
CPU stops processing. This feature means the PCA-6011 will recover from a soft-
ware failure or an EMI problem. The JWDT1 jumper settings control the outcome of
what the computer will do in the event the watchdog timer is tripped.
1.9 System Memory
The PCA-6011 has two sockets for 240-pin dual inline memory modules (DIMMs) in
two memory channels.
All these sockets use 1.5 V unbuffered double data rate synchronous DRAMs (DDR3
SDRAM). They are available in capacities of 512 MB, 1 GB, and 2 GB. The sockets
can be filled in any combination with DIMMs of any size, giving a total memory size
up to 8 GB.
1.9.1 CPU FSB and memory speed
The PCA-6011 can accept DDR3 SDRAM memory chips without parity. Also note:
The PCA-6011 accepts DDR3 800/1066/1333 MHz SDRAM. The PCA-6011 does
NOT support ECC (error checking and correction).
1.10 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 auto-
matically locked the memory 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.
