Chapter 1 Hardware Configuration

1.1 Introduction

The PCA-6188 is designed with the Intel 875P chipset and 6300ESB (I/O

controller) to support the most advanced Intel Pentium 4 processor, high

speed/high capacity dual channel DDR400 memory, and high perfor-

mance I/O functions such as dual Gigabit Ethernet ports, AGP 8X graph-

ics controller, Serial/Parallel ATA ports, and a PCI-X 64-bit /66 Mhz bus.

In compliance with PICMG 1.0 specification, PCA-6188 can be used

with a wide choice of existing PCI/ISA backplanes to meet versatile

requirements of industrial applications.

The PCA-6188 is designed to deliver high performance for industrial

applications. It uses Intel’s long-life 875P and 6300ESB chipset, capable

of running the fastest Pentium 4 and Celeron processor. It has 4 DIMM

sockets in two separated memory channels and can support ECC (error

checking and correction) function for best reliability. It accepts up to

4GB DDR 400/333/266 SDRAM memory, enough for most of applica-

tions. The CSA (Communications Streaming Architecture) port of the

875P chipset provides dedicated 266 MB/s bandwidth for the 82547

Gigabit Ethernet controller. The 2nd Gigabit Ethernet ports uses Intel’s

82541 controller connected to the 32-bit PCI bus of the 6300ESB I/O

controller. The on-board AGP 8X ATI Mobility Radeon 9600 Pro

graphic accelerator provides dual VGA display and supports LVDS and

DVI interfaces for panel display. Two Serial ATA ports (up to 150MB/s)

allows the use of thin and long SATA cables for storage devices, eliminat-

ing cabling issues inside industrial-grade chassis. In addition, the PCA-

6188 also provides most of the popular I/O interfaces such as four USB

2.0 ports, AC-97 audio interface, 2 RS-232 ports, one enhanced parallel

port and floppy disk interface.

The PCA-6188 is designed with reliability considerations to suit indus-

trial environments. A specially designed heat-sink is attached to the main

chips to keep them cool and to extend the operating temperature to 60

degreee Celsius. 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 exe-

cuted normally. A remote management port allows users to monitor the

system health status and control the system remotely through standard
