PCA-6185 User’s Manual 2
Chapter 1 Hardware Configuration
1.1 Introduction
The PCA-6185 Series all-in-one industrial grade single CPU card uses
Intel's high performance Pentium® 4 processor, together with the Server-
Works' GC-SL chipset. The card features two separate 64-bit PCI-X bus,
one for internal deviced and one for external add-on cards. The dual PCI-
X bus ensures the operation of internal devices not to be influenced by
external add-on cards.
The PCA-6185 supports Pentium 4 or Celeron CPU with 533 and 400
MHz front side bus. Based on the NetBurst™ microarchitecture, the
CPU is equipped with 512, 256 or 128 KB on-CPU full-speed cache
memory, providing higher performance than ever before. The 3 DIMM
memory sockets support up to 4 GB DDR200/266 registered SDRAM,
fullfiling the demand on computing performance of most applications.
The PCA-6185 Series features powerful on-board I/O functions such as
single or dual gigabit Ethernet ports and dual channel Ultra 320 SCSI
interface. This makes it an ideal choice for applications that require both
high performance and full functionality.
It has two EIDE interfaces (for up to four devices) and a floppy disk drive
interface (for up to two devices). Other features include two RS-232
serial ports (16C550 UARTs with 16-byte FIFO or compatible), one
enhanced parallel port (supports SPP/EPP/ECP) and four USB (Universal
Serial Bus) 1.1 ports. The PCI enhanced IDE controller supports ATA 33/
66/100 and PIO Mode 4 operation. This provides data transfer rates of up
to 100 MB/sec. System BIOS supports boot-up from an IDE CD-ROM,
SCSI CD-ROM, LS-120, IDE HDD, SCSI HDD, ZIP-100, USB, LAN,
and FDD.
A backup of CMOS data is stored in the Flash memory, which protects
data even after a battery failure. Also included is a 63-level watchdog
timer, which resets the CPU or generates an interrupt if a program cannot
be executed normally. This enables reliable operation in unattended envi-
ronments.
The remote management interface enables the PCA-6185 to be managed
through Ethernet when it is connected to the SNMP-1000 Remote HTTP/
SNMP System Manager.
Note: Some of the features mentioned above are not available with all models. For
