The following tables list the jumpers and connectors available on the ADVANTECH PCA-6010.

Jumpers

Connectors

To clear the CMOS data and reset the system BIOS information on the ADVANTECH PCA-6010, follow these steps:

1. Locate the CMOS1 jumper on the board.

2. The default setting is “Keep CMOS data” with pins 1-2 closed.

3. To reset the CMOS data, move the jumper to close pins 2-3 for a few seconds.

4. Move the jumper back to the default position (pins 1-2 closed). This will reset the CMOS to its default settings.

To install DIMMs on the ADVANTECH PCA-6010:

1. Ensure the two handles of the DIMM socket are in the “open” position, leaning outward.

2. Slowly slide the DIMM module along the plastic guides on both ends of the socket.

3. Press the DIMM module straight down into the socket until you hear a click. The two handles will automatically lock the memory module into the correct position.

To remove the memory module, simply push both handles outward, and the module will be ejected from the socket.

The ADVANTECH PCA-6010 is designed for Intel® LGA 775 socket CPUs. Follow these steps for installation:

1. Pull the bar beside the CPU socket outward and lift it up to open the socket.

2. Align the triangular marking on the processor with the cut edge of the socket and carefully place the processor into the socket.

3. Put back the socket cap and press down the bar to fix the processor in place.

Connecting IDE Drives:

You can attach up to two IDE drives. Use the provided IDE cable and connect one end to the IDE1 connector on the board. Ensure the red/blue wire on the cable corresponds to pin 1 on the connector. If you install two drives on one cable, one must be set as “master” and the other as “slave” using jumpers on the drives themselves. If you use only one drive, set it to “master”.

Connecting Floppy Drives:

You can attach up to two floppy disk drives using the 34-pin daisy-chain cable. Connect the flat-cable connector to FDD1 on the board. The connector on the end of the cable (after the twist) connects to the A: drive. The connector in the middle connects to the B: drive.

The ADVANTECH PCA-6010 has several connectors for front panel switches and indicators:

ATX soft power switch (JFP1 / PWR_SW): If your case has an ATX power supply, connect the power on/off button to this header to turn the computer on and off.

Reset (JFP1 / RESET): Connect the case’s reset button wire to this header.

HDD LED (JFP2 / HDDLED): Connect an LED to this header to indicate when the HDD is active.

External speaker (JFP2 / SPEAKER): This is a 4-pin connector for an external speaker. To enable the onboard buzzer instead, set pins 3-4 as closed.

Power LED and keyboard lock (JFP3 / PWR_LED&KEY LOCK): This is a 5-pin connector. The Power LED cable should be connected to pins 1-3. The key lock button cable should be connected to pins 4-5.

The JOBS1 is a 2-pin jumper used to enable or disable the alarm for on-board security events on the ADVANTECH PCA-6010.

To enter the BIOS setup utility on the ADVANTECH PCA-6010, turn on the computer and press the <Del> key during the Power-On Self-Test (POST).

The Advanced BIOS Features menu allows you to configure specific system behaviors:

CPU Features: Access sub-menus for Delay Prior to thermal, Limit CPUID MaxVal, C1E Function, Execute Disable Bit, and Virtualization Technology.

Hard Disk Boot Priority: Set the boot priority among installed hard disk drives.

Virus Warning: Enables or disables boot sector protection for IDE hard disks.

First/Second/Third Boot Device: Selects the sequence of devices the BIOS will try to boot from (e.g., Floppy, Hard Disk, CDROM, LAN).

Boot Up NumLock Status: Sets the Num Lock key status to On or Off at boot up.

Security Option: Determines if a password is required on system boot (‘System’) or only to enter BIOS setup (‘Setup’).

In the BIOS, navigate to the “Power Management Setup” menu. Key options include:

Power Supply Type: Select “ATX” or “AT”. Selecting “AT” disables ACPI functions.

ACPI Function: Enable or disable ACPI features.

Power Management: Choose a power-saving profile (Min Saving, Max Saving, or User Defined).

Suspend Mode: Set the time of inactivity before the system enters suspend mode.

HDD Power Down: Set the time of inactivity before the hard drive powers down.

Soft-Off by PWR-BTTN: Configures the behavior of the ATX soft power button (“Instant-Off” or “Delay 4 sec”).

PowerOn by LAN/Modem/Alarm: Enable or disable waking the system via a network card, modem, or at a specific time.

PWRON After PWR-Fail: Determines the system state after a power failure (“Off”, “On”, or “Former-Sts”).

In the BIOS setup, go to the “PC Health Status” screen. This screen displays real-time information about:

Case Open Warning: Enable to detect if the chassis is open.

CPU Warning Temperature: Set a temperature threshold to prevent the CPU from overheating.

Current System Temperature: Displays the current system temperature.

Current CPU Temperature: Displays the current CPU temperature.

Current CPUFAN Speed: Shows the current CPU fan’s operating speed in RPM.

VCORE and Other Voltages: Displays the voltage of VCORE, +3.3 V, +5 V, +12 V, and VBAT (V).

Shutdown Temperature: The system will shut down automatically when the CPU temperature exceeds this selected setting.

To save your changes and exit, select the “Save & Exit Setup” option from the main menu and press <Enter>. Confirm by selecting ‘Y’ when prompted. The new settings will be recorded in the CMOS memory and the system will restart.

To exit without saving any changes, select the “Exit Without Saving” option and press <Enter>. Confirm by selecting ‘Y’.

The watchdog timer is built into the super I/O controller W83627HG. Programming it involves writing to I/O port addresses 2E(hex) and 2F(hex). 2E is the address port and 2F is the data port. You must first write a register address to port 2E, then write or read data from port 2F.

The general sequence is:

1. Unlock the W83627HG controller.

2. Select the watchdog timer registers.

3. Enable the watchdog timer function.

4. Configure the timer (seconds/minutes, timeout value).

5. Lock the W83627HG controller.
