  • Page 34: System Memory

    System Memory The top-left edge of the PCA-6178 contains three sockets for 168-pin dual inline memory modules (DIMMs). All three sockets use 3.3 V unbuffered synchronous DRAMs (SDRAM). DIMMs are available in capacities of 16, 32, 64, 128, or 256 MB. The sockets can be filled in any combination with DIMMs of any size, giving your PCA-6178 single board computer between 16 MB and 768 MB of memory.

  • Page 35: Supplementary Information About Dimms

    1.9.2 Supplementary information about DIMMs Your PCA-6178 can accept SDRAM memory chips (with or without parity). Also note: • If the PCA-6178 operates at 100 MHz, only use PC-100/ PC-133- compliant DIMMs. Most systems will not even boot if non-compli- ant modules are used.

  • Page 36: Memory Installation Procedures

    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.

  • Page 37: Cpu Installation

    1.12 CPU Installation ® ® The PCA-6178 provides a socket 370 for an Intel Pentium III/ Celeron™processor. The CPU on the board must have a fan or heat sink attached, to prevent overheating. Warning: Without a fan or heat sink, the CPU will overheat and cause damage to both the CPU and the mother- board.

  • Page 96: Introduction

    Introduction The PCA-6178 is equipped with a Symbios SYM53C895 single-chip PCI-to-SCSI host adapter which provides a powerful Ultra2 multitask- ing interface between your computer’s PCI bus and SCSI devices (disk drives, CD-ROM drives, scanners, tape backups, removable media drives, etc.). Up to a total of 15 SCSI devices can be connected to the SCSI connector through the Symbios SYM53C895.

  • Page 97: Basic Rules For Scsi Host Adapter And Device

    Basic Rules for SCSI Host Adapter and Device Installation You must terminate both ends of the SCSI bus. Refer to the hardware manuals for the devices and the host adapter to properly terminate the bus. Unless your system is SCSI Configured AutoMatically (SCAM) capable, you must configure each SCSI device with a different SCSI ID number.

  • Page 98: Scsi Terminators

    SCSI Terminators To ensure reliable communication, the SCSI bus must be properly terminated. Termination is controlled by a set of electrical resistors, called terminators. Terminators must be placed (or enabled) at the two extreme ends of the SCSI bus. All devices that lie between the ends must have their terminators removed (or disabled).

    SDMS Drivers The SDMS device drivers translate an operating system I/O request into a SCSI request. Each Symbios SCSI device driver is operating system specific and is designed to work on standard Symbios chip implementations.
