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.
2 Duo, Celeron® 440 up to 2.66/ 3.33/2.2 GHz, (refer to “Processor Support” on page iv), FSB 800/1066/1333 MHz. PCA-6011 also has an optional CPU cooler (1750000332) for customers who use high-speed CPUs in 2U chassis or in a high-temperature environment.
Board weight: 0.5 kg Jumpers and Connectors Connectors on the PCA-6011 single board computer link it to external devices such as hard disk drives and a keyboard. In addition, the board has a number of jumpers used to configure the system for any desired application.

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.
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.
Put back the socket cap and press down the bar to fix it. 1.13 Power Model Setting and Installation PCA-6011 can support AT or ATX power model settings. 1.13.1 AT Mode Short ATXF1 2-3 pins on CPU board. Short PSON1(CN1) 1-2 pins on Backplane.

IDE Connectors (IDE1) You can attach up to two IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) drives to the PCA-6011's built-in controller. Wire number 1 on the cable is red or blue and the other wires are gray. Connect one end to connector IDE1 on the single board computer.
Floppy Drive Connector (FDD1) You can attach up to two floppy disk drives to the PCA-6011's on board controller. You can use 3.5" (720 KB, 1.44 MB) drives. The single board computer comes with a 34-pin daisy-chain drive connector cable.
CRT connector VGA1 are detailed in Appendix B. Serial Ports (COM1, COM2) The PCA-6011 offers two serial ports COM1, COM2. These ports can connect to serial devices, such as a mouse or to a communications network. The IRQ and address ranges for all ports are fixed. However, if you want to disable the port or change these parameters later, you can do this in the system BIOS setup.
PS/2 mouse. External Keyboard & Mouse (KBMS2) In addition to the PS/2 mouse/keyboard connector on the PCA-6011's rear plate, there is also an extra onboard external keyboard and mouse connector. This gives system integrators greater flexibility in designing their systems.
If a fan is used, this connector supports cooling fans of 12 V/1 A (12 W) or less. 2.10 Front Panel Connectors (JFP1, JFP2, JFP3) There are several external switches to monitor and control the PCA-6011. 2.10.1 ATX soft power switch (JFP1 / PWR_SW) If your computer case is equipped with an ATX power supply, you should connect the power on/off button on your computer case to (JFP1 / PWR_SW).
External speaker (JFP2 / SPEAKER) (JFP2 / SPEAKER) is a 4-pin connector for an external speaker. If there is no exter- nal speaker, the PCA-6011 provides an onboard buzzer as an alternative. To enable the buzzer, set pins 3-4 as closed.
2.12 LAN RJ45 connector (LAN1/LAN2) PCA-6011 uses the Intel 82583V Gigabit LAN chip which is linked to PCIe x1 link (LAN2 only exists on PCA-6011G2). With this chip, PCA-6011 may provide high throughputs for a heavy load networking environment. It provides one or two RJ-45 connectors in the rear side and is convenient for most industrial applications.
2.14 Serial ATA2 Interface (SATA1 ~ SATA4) In addition to the EIDE interfaces (up to two devices), the PCA-6011 features a high performance serial ATA2 interface (up to 300MB/s) which eases cabling to hard drives with thin and long cables.
2.15 LAN LED connector (LAN LED1) PCA-6011 provides an external LAN LED Pin header for connecting to the front side of the chassis. With this convenient design users can easily see whether the LAN port is active or not. Refer to Appendix B for detailed information on the pin assign- ments.
Screw in the bracket in place of the plate. 2.17 Case open (JCASE1) PCA-6011 provides 2-Pins pin header for case open detection. This function could be enabled or disabled in the BIOS setting. When the PIN is shorted, it will cause the on board buzzer to sound.
The Setup program uses a number of menus for reflecting the current system status and controlling the system. This chapter describes the basic navigation of the PCA-6011 setup screens. Figure 3.1 Setup Program Initial Screen AMI's BIOS ROM has a built-in Setup program that allows users to modify the basic system configuration.
