Chapter 1 Hardware Configuration
1.1 Introduction
The PCA-6187 Series all-in-one industrial grade single board computer is
a high performance and full-featured computing engine. It follows the
PICMG 1.0 specification and meets most requirements for industrial
applications.
The PCA-6187 uses Intel's 865G chipset to support Intel's Socket 478
Pentium 4 and Celeron processor with 800/533/400 MHz front side bus.
The dual channel DDR 400 SDRAM interface provides bottle neck free
memory bandwidth up to 6.4GB/s. In addition to the two EIDE interfaces
(up to four devices), it features a high performance serial ATA interface
(up to 150MB/s) which eases cabling to hard drives in industrial chassis
with thin and long cables. Other features include chipset built-in high per-
formance VGA interface, dual Giga-bit Ethernet ports, dual channel Ultra
160 SCSI interface, six USB 2.0 ports (up to 480 Mbps), and other stan-
dard PC functions like two RS-232 serial ports, one enhanced parallel
port and floppy disk interface.
The PCA-6187 Series offers several impressive industrial features such
as: CMOS data backup, which is stored in the Flash memory, which pro-
tects data even after battery failure. Also included is a 256-level watch-
dog timer, which resets the CPU if a program cannot be executed
normally. This enables reliable operation in unattended environments.
The remote management interface enables the PCA-6187 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 more information
