Because of Advantech’s high quality-control standards and

2.Call your dealer and describe the problem. Please have your

manual, product and any other 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 completely filled-out

Repair and Replacement Order Card and a photocopy of a dated

proof of purchase (such as your sales receipt) in a shippable

container. A product returned without dated proof of purchase is

CHAPTER

2PCA-6151 User's Manual

Introduction

The PCA-6151 is a cost-effective, all-in-one single board Pentium

CPU card which can release Pentium’s full potential and provide

unprecedented performance compared to current 64-bit processor

board. The PCA-6151 offers all the functions of an industrial

computer on a single board, half-size CPU card. This card uses a

Pentium, AMD K5 CPU or Cyrix M1 and can have up to 64 MB

DRAM. It also supports PB-SRAM 2nd level cache size from 256KB

to 512KB through an on board COAST module.

The PCA-6151 utilizes a two-chip solution, allowing on board DRAM

to be shared with the built-in VGA controller. In this configuration

the chipset always acts as the arbiter between memory bus masters.

This system insures efficient memory allocation while substantially

reducing the overall system cost.

On-board features include one RS-232 port, one RS-232/422/485 port,

one multi-mode parallel (ECP/EPP/SPP) port, a floppy drive control-

ler and a keyboard & PS/2 mouse interface. The built-in high speed

PCI IDE controller supports both PIO and bus master modes. Up to

two IDE devices can be connected, including large hard disks,

CD-ROM drives, tape backup drives and other IDE devices.

The PCA-6151 also features power management to minimize power

consumption. It complies with the ”Green Function” standard and

supports three types of power saving features: Doze mode, Standby

mode and Suspend mode. A watchdog timer can automatically reset

the system or generate an interrupt should the system stop due to a

program bug or EMI.
