1.7 Safety Precautions
Warning! Always completely disconnect the power cord from your chassis when-
ever you work with the hardware. Do not make connections while the
power is on. Sensitive electronic components can be damaged by sud-
den power surges. Only experienced electronics personnel should open
the PC chassis.
Caution! Always ground yourself to remove any static charge before touching the
single board computer. Modern electronic devices are very sensitive to
electrostatic discharges. 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 recommended by the manufacturer.
Discard used batteries according to manufacturer's instructions.
Note! Before installing your PCA-6012 into a chassis, make sure that no com-
ponents on either side of the CPU card can touch any metal parts, espe-
cially the chassis wall and add-on card in the adjacent slot.
1.8 Jumper Settings
This section provides instructions on how to configure your PCA-6012 by setting the
jumpers. It also includes the PCA-6012's default settings and your options for each
jumper.
1.8.1 How to set jumpers
You can configure your PCA-6012 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.
7 PCA-6012 User Manual
1.8.2 CMOS clear (CMOS1)
The PCA-6012 single board computer contains a jumper that can erase CMOS data
and reset the system BIOS information. Normally this jumper should be set with
pins1-2 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-6012 contains a watchdog timer that will reset the CPU in the event the
CPU stops processing. This feature means the PCA-6012 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-6012 has two sockets for 204-pin DDR3 800MHz SO-DIMM memory mod-
ules. All these sockets use 1.5 V unbuffered double data rate synchronous DRAMs.
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 2
GB (for VG N455 SKU) and up to 4 GB (for G2 D525 SKU).
PCA-6012 User Manual 8
Chapter 1 Hardware Configuration
1.10 Memory Installation Procedures
1. See picture below to locate DIMM1 and DIMM2 204-pin SODIMM sockets.
2. A memory module and expansion socket are keyed. The plastic bridge in the
socket must align with the notch in the module. The keyed bridge and notch
make sure a SODIMM cannot be installed going the wrong direction.
3. Insert the SODIMM module into the socket at a 30-45 degree angle. Make sure
the notch and the module are properly aligned.
Slowly push down the SODIMM toward the CPU card PCB until the clips at each
end of the expansion socket click into place.
1.11 Processor Installation
PCA-6012 series are equipped with soldered-down (BGA type) CPUs. No need for a
user to install a CPU.

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.
You can configure your single board computer 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 con-
nect 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 use-
ful when setting jumpers.
2.2 IDE Connector (IDE1)
Figure 2.1 IDE Connector (IDE1)
You can attach up to two IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) drives to the PCA-6012'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.

The parallel port is normally used to connect the single board computer to a printer.
The PCA-6012 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.
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-
13 PCA-6012 User Manual
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)
Figure 2.4 VGA Connector (VGA1)
The PCA-6012 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-

When I can't find an obsolete part, I first call GID and they'll come up with my parts every time. Great customer service and follow up as well. Scott emails me from time to time to touch base and see if we're having trouble finding something.....which is often with our 25 yr old equipment.
