Chapter General Information This chapter gives background information on the PCA-6781. Sections include: ! Introduction ! Features ! Specifications ! Board layout and Dimensions...
Introduction The PCA-6781 series is a half-sized ISA bus CPU card designed with powerful Intel Celeron M processor, with Intel 852GM and ICH4 chipset, which supports Dynamic Video Memory Technology. For maximum performance, PCA-6781 also supports one 200 Pin SODIMM socket and DDR memory up to 1 GB. These chipsets provide an optimized on-board integrated graphics solution.
Display modes: – CRT Modes: 1600 X 1200 at 85 Hz; – LCD Modes: up to UXGA panel resolution with frequency range from 25 MHz to 112 MHz 1.3.3 Solid State disk Supports CompactFlash Card Type I/II PCA-6781 User Manual...
Operating humidity: 0% ~ 90% Relative Humidity, non-condensing Note! If your power supply doesn’t have +12 V output (+5 V only), PCA-6781 needs to go T-part number to add the components for the 5 V to 12 V converting circuit, but LVDS and PC104 also cannot be used within +5 V only.
Chapter Installation This chapter explains the setup procedures of PCA-6781 hard- ware, including instructions on setting jumpers and connecting peripherals, switches and indica- tors. Be sure to read all safety pre- cautions before you begin the installation procedure.
Jumpers The PCA-6781 has a number of jumpers that allow you to configure your system to suit your application. The table below lists the functions of the various jumpers. Table 2.1: Jumpers Label Function LVDS Voltage choose AT/ATX Power choose jumper...
A pair of needle-nose pliers may be helpful when working with jumpers. If you have any doubts about the best hardware configuration for your application, contact your local distributor or sales representative before you make any changes. Generally, you simply need a standard cable to make most connections. PCA-6781 User Manual...

Gently push the SODIMM into a perpendicular position until the clips on the ends of the SODIMM sockets snap into place. Check to ensure that the SODIMM is correctly seated and all connector contacts touch. The SODIMM should not move around in its socket. PCA-6781 User Manual...
Main Power Connector (CN16) Supplies main power (+5 V and +12 V) to PCA-6781, and it is a 7 pins power connec- tor. Important! Make sure that the ATX power supply can take at least a 10 mA load on the 5 V standby lead (5 VSB).
2.11 IDE Connector (CN4) The PCA-6781 provides one IDE channels to which you can attach up to two Enhanced Integrated Device Electronics hard disk drives or CDROM to the PCA- 6781’s internal controller. The PCA-6781's IDE controller uses a PCI interface. This advanced IDE controller supports faster data transfer, PIO Mode 3 or Mode 4, UDMA 33/66/100 mode.
2.12.2 LVDS LCD panel Connector (CN8) PCA-6781 uses the Intel 852GM to supports single or dual-channel LVDS panels up to UXGA panel resolution with frequency range from 25MHz to 112MHz. The display mode can be 2 channels (2 x 18 bits) LVDS LCD panel displays Users can connect to either an 18, 24 or 36 bits LVDS LCD with CN8.
2.15 HDD LED/Reset/Power Button (CN1) Next, you may want to install external switches to monitor and control the PCA-6781. These features are optional: install them only if you need them. CN1 is an 2 x 5 pin header, 180 degree, male. It provides connections for reset and power & hard disk indicator.
2.18 External Keyboard Connector (CN18) In addition to the Mini keyboard connector on the PCA-6781’s rear plate, there is an additional onboard external keyboard connector, allowing for greater flexibility in sys- tem design. 2.19 Audio Interface Connector (CN7) The Audio Interface link is a 10 pin connector, the PCA-6781 can support Audio with the addition of optional PCM-231A-00A1.
2.27 Hardware Fail LED (CN27) The PCA-6781 is equipped with 2-pin hardware fail pin header to connector with LED. If you connect CN27 with LED, LED will light when buzzer on PCA-6781 has a warning noise. PCA-6781 User Manual...
