Chapter 1 Hardware Configuration
1.1 Introduction
The PCA-6289 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-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. Other features include onboard
32 bits/33 MHz PCI ATi Rage XL VGA controller with integrated 8MB
frame buffer memory provides high performance graphic function dual
Giga-bit Ethernet ports, four USB 1.1 ports (up to 12 Mbps), and other
standard PC functions like two RS-232 serial ports, one enhanced parallel
port and floppy disk interface.
PCA-6289 offers several impressive industrial features such as: CMOS
data backup, which is stored in the Flash memory, which protects 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.
1.2 Features
1. High performance: The PCA-6289 uses Intel E7501 chipset
which offers high-bandwidth interfaces such as dual-channel
DDR200/266 main memory, 400/533 MHz system bus, ATi Rage
XL VGA controller and 8MB frame buffer memory which provides
high performance graphic functions, Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) and
USB 1.1 connectivity to ensure the flexibility and performance you
expect.
2. BIOS CMOS backup and restore: When BIOS CMOS setup has
been completed, data in the CMOS RAM is automatically backed
up to the Flash ROM. This is particularly useful in harsh environ-
ments which may cause setup data loss such as battery failure.
Upon such an error occurring, BIOS will check the data, and auto-
matically restore the original data for booting.
