anything abnormal and list any onscreen messages you get when the problem
occurs.
2. Call your dealer and describe the problem. Please have your manual, product,
and any helpful information readily available.
3. If your product is diagnosed as defective, obtain an RMA (return merchandise
authorization) number from your dealer. This allows us to process your return
more quickly.
4. Carefully pack the defective product, a fully-completed Repair and Replacement
Order Card and a photocopy proof of purchase date (such as your sales receipt)
in a shippable container. A product returned without proof of the purchase date

1.7 Safety Precautions
Warning! Always completely disconnect the power cord from your chassis
whenever you work with the hardware. Do not make connections
while the power is on. Sensitive electronic components can be
damaged by sudden power surges. Only experienced electronics
personnel should open the PC chassis.
Caution! Always ground yourself to remove any static charge before touch-
ing the boards. Modern electronic devices are very sensitive to
static electric charges. As a safety precaution, use a grounding
wrist strap at all times. Place all electronic components on a static-
dissipative surface or in a static-shielded bag when they are not in
the chassis.
Caution! The computer is provided with a battery-powered real-time clock
circuit. There is a danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly
replaced. Replace only with same or equivalent type recom-
mended by the manufacturer. Discard used batteries according to
manufacturer's instructions.
Caution! There is a danger of a new battery exploding if it is incorrectly
installed. Do not attempt to recharge, force open, or heat the bat-
tery. Replace the battery only with the same or equivalent type rec-
ommended by the manufacturer. Discard used batteries according
to the manufacturer’s instructions.
1.8 Jumper Settings
This section provides instructions on how to configure your PCA-6011 by setting the
jumpers. It also includes the PCA-6011's default settings and your options for each
jumper.
1.8.1 How to set jumpers
You can configure your PCA-6011 to match the needs of your application by setting
the jumpers. A jumper is a metal bridge that closes an electrical circuit. It consists of
two metal pins and a small metal clip (often protected by a plastic cover) that slides
over the pins to connect them. To “close” (or turn ON) a jumper, you connect the pins
with the clip. To “open” (or turn OFF) a jumper, you remove the clip. Sometimes a
jumper consists of a set of three pins, labeled 1, 2, and 3. In this case you connect
either pins 1 and 2, or 2 and 3. A pair of needle-nose pliers may be useful when set-
ting jumpers.
1.8.2 CMOS clear (CMOS1)
The PCA-6011 single board computer contains a jumper that can erase CMOS data
and reset the system BIOS information. Normally this jumper should be set with pins
1-2 closed. If you want to reset the CMOS data, set CMOS1 to 2-3 closed for just a
few seconds, and then move the jumper back to 1-2 closed. This procedure will reset
the CMOS to its default setting.

1.8.3 Watchdog timer output (JWDT1)
The PCA-6011 contains a watchdog timer that will reset the CPU in the event the
CPU stops processing. This feature means the PCA-6011 will recover from a soft-
ware failure or an EMI problem. The JWDT1 jumper settings control the outcome of
what the computer will do in the event the watchdog timer is tripped.

1.9 System Memory
The PCA-6011 has two sockets for 240-pin dual inline memory modules (DIMMs) in
two memory channels.
All these sockets use 1.5 V unbuffered double data rate synchronous DRAMs (DDR3
SDRAM). They are available in capacities of 512 MB, 1 GB, and 2 GB. The sockets
can be filled in any combination with DIMMs of any size, giving a total memory size
up to 4 GB.
1.9.1 CPU FSB and memory speed
The PCA-6011 can accept DDR3 SDRAM memory chips without parity. Also note:
The PCA-6011 accepts DDR3 800/1066 MHz SDRAM. The PCA-6011 does NOT
support ECC (error checking and correction).
1.10 Memory Installation Procedures
To install DIMMs, first make sure the two handles of the DIMM socket are in the
“open” position. i.e. The handles lean outward. Slowly slide the DIMM module along
the plastic guides on both ends of the socket. Then press the DIMM module right
down into the socket, until you hear a click. This is when the two handles have auto-
matically locked the memory module into the correct position of the DIMM socket. To
remove the memory module, just push both handles outward, and the memory mod-
ule will be ejected by the mechanism in the socket.

Peripherals
2.1 Introduction
You can access most of the connectors from the top of the board while it is installed
in the chassis. If you have a number of cards installed or have a packed chassis, you
may need to partially remove the card to make all the connections.
2.2 IDE Connectors (IDE1)
You can attach up to two IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) drives to the PCA-6011's
built-in controller.
Wire number 1 on the cable is red or blue and the other wires are gray. Connect one
end to connector IDE1 on the single board computer. Make sure that the red/blue
wire corresponds to pin 1 on the connector (in the upper right hand corner). See
Chapter 1 for help finding the connector.
Unlike floppy drives, IDE hard drives can connect in either position on the cable. If
you install two drives to a single connector, you will need to set one as the master
and the other as the slave. You do this by setting the jumpers on the drives. If you
use just one drive per connector, you should set each drive as the master. See the
documentation that came with your drive for more information.
Connect the first hard drive to the other end of the cable. Wire 1 on the cable should
also connect to pin 1 on the hard drive connector, which is labeled on the drive circuit
board. Check the documentation that came with the drive for more information.

twist in the cable) connects to the A: floppy drive. The one in the middle connects to
the B: floppy drive.
2.4 Parallel Port (LPT1)
The parallel port is normally used to connect the single board computer to a printer.
The PCA-6011 includes an onboard parallel port, accessed through a 26-pin flat-
cable connector, LPT1. The card comes with an adapter cable which lets you use a
traditional DB-25 connector. The cable has a 26-pin connector on one end and a DB-
25 connector on the other, mounted on a retaining bracket. The bracket installs at the
end of an empty slot in your chassis, giving you access to the connector.
17 PCA-6011 User Manual
To install the bracket, find an empty slot in your chassis. Unscrew the plate that cov-
ers the end of the slot. Screw in the bracket in place of the plate. Next, attach the flat-
cable connector to LPT1 on the CPU card. Wire 1 of the cable is red or blue, and the
other wires are gray. Make sure that wire 1 corresponds to pin 1 of LPT1. Pin 1 is on
the upper right side of LPT1.
2.5 VGA Connector (VGA1)
The PCA-6011 includes a VGA interface that can drive conventional CRT displays.
VGA1 is a standard 15-pin D-SUB connector commonly used for VGA. Pin assign-
ments for CRT connector VGA1 are detailed in Appendix B.
