Important Safety Information SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS This device complies with the requirements in part 15 of the FCC rules: Operation is subject to the following two conditions: This device may not cause harmful interference, and This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
PICMG 1.0 specification and meets most requirements for industrial applications. The PCA-6289 uses Intel's E7501 chipset to support dual Intel Socket 604 Xeon™/ LV Xeon™ processors with 533/400 MHz front side bus. The dual channel DDR 200/266 SDRAM interface provides bottle neck free memory bandwidth up to 4.2 GB/s.
Supports Hyper-Threading : This allows HT-enabled Xeon™ / LV Xeon™ processors to process two threads simultaneously. By building two logical processors into a single physical processor, the performance and utilization of the processor resource will both increase. Users can obtain a higher CPU performance while Hyper- Threading is enabled.
1.4 Jumpers and Connectors Connectors on the PCA-6289 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 your system for your application.
