A Message to the Customer....

Advantech Customer Services

Each and every Advantech product is built to the most exacting

specifications to ensure reliable performance in the unusual and

demanding conditions typical of industrial environments. Whether

your new Advantech equipment is destined for the laboratory or

the factory floor, you can be assured that your product will

provide the reliability and ease of operation for which the name

Advantech has come to be known.

Your satisfaction is our number one concern. Here is a guide to

Advantech’s customer services. To ensure you get the full benefit

of our services, please follow the instructions below carefully.

Technical Support

We want you to get the maximum performance from your prod-

ucts. So if you run into technical difficulties, we are here to help.

For most frequently asked questions you can easily find answers in

your product documentation. These answers are normally a lot

more detailed than the ones we can give over the phone.

So please consult this manual first. If you still can’t find the

answer, gather all the information or questions that apply to your

problem and, with the product close at hand, call your dealer. Our

dealers are well trained and ready to give you the support you need

to get the most from your Advantech products. In fact, most

problems reported are minor and are able to be easily solved over

the phone.

In addition, free technical support is available from Advantech

engineers every business day. We are always ready to give advice

on application requirements or specific information on the

installation and operation of any of our products.

Product Warranty

Advantech warrants to you, the original purchaser, that each of its

products will be free from defects in materials and workmanship

for one year from the date of purchase.

This warranty does not apply to any products which have been

repaired or altered by other than repair personnel authorized by

Advantech, or which have been subject to misuse, abuse, accident

or improper installation. Advantech assumes no liability as a

consequence of such events under the terms of this Warranty.

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 ever does prove 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 (e.g.

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

manual, 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 completely filled-out

Repair and Replacement Order Card and a photocopy of dated

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

container. A product returned without dated proof of purchase

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.

2PCA-6157 User's Manual

Introduction

The PCA-6157 industrial grade CPU card uses Intel's highly

acclaimedPentiumP54C type 75/90/100/120/133/150/166 MHz CPUs

and 82437FX "Triton" chipset. The card works with standard ISA

and/or ISA/PCI bus passive backplanes.

In addition to the Pentium's 16 KB on-chip cache memory, the card

hasan extra256 KB2nd-level write-backcache. ThePCA-6157 also

supports 8 to 128 MB of on-board DRAM. It has two PCI EIDE

interfaces (for up to four devices), a PCI SCSI-II interface, and an

FDD interface (for up to two devices). Other features include two

RS-232serial ports (16C550UARTswith 16-byte FIFOorcompati-

ble) and one enhanced parallel port (supports EPP/ECP). The card's

high speed PCI EIDE controller supports mode 4 operation, which

provides data transfer rates of over 16 MB/sec. and allows drive

capacities of up to 8.4 GB for connecting tape drives, CD-ROMs,

optical devices, etc.

In addition, the EBM3x-JA has a temperature sensor for the

Pentium CPU. It automatically turns on the CPU cooling fan and

outputs a CPU overheat alarm digital signal when the CPU tempera-

ture exceeds the upper-limit value set by BIOS. This ensures CPU

card reliability and lengthens CPU life.

The PCA-6157's 32-bit passive PCI interface provides burst transfer

speeds of up to 132 MB per second. The interface eliminates data

transfer congestion and improves performance of high bandwidth

applications such as graphics, video and LANs. The card also

provides a standard ISA bus interface for non-PCI adapter cards,

so you can still take advantage of the card's powerful on-board

PCI-EIDE and PCI SCSI-II controller when the card is plugged into

an ISA bus passive backplane. You can also plug the PCA-6157

into a PCI/ISA passive backplane for use with high performance

PCI-bus I/O cards.

The PCA-6157L does not have SCSI chip and temperature sensor.

Chapter 1 Hardware configuration 3

The card has power on self test (POST) LEDs for quick and simple

fault analysis. A backup of CMOS data is stored in the EEPROM,

which protects data even after the battery has failed. The industri-

al-grade construction of this card allows it to withstand continuous

operation in harsh environments at temperatures up to 140°F

(60° C). Also included is a 12-level watchdog timer, which resets the

CPU or generates an interrupt if a program cannot be executed

normally. This enables reliable operation in stand-alone or unat-

tended environments.
