not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may  
cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this  
device in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in  
which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his/her  
own expense. The user is advised that any equipment changes or modifi-  
cations not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance  
would void the compliance to FCC regulations and therefore, the user's  
authority to operate the equipment.  
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 battery.  
Replace the battery only with the same or

Product warranty  
Advantech warrants to you, the original purchaser, that each of its prod-  
ucts will be free from defects in materials and workmanship for two years  
from the date of purchase.  
This warranty does not apply to any products which have been repaired or  
altered by persons other than repair personnel authorized by Advantech,  
or which have been subject to misuse, abuse, accident or improper instal-  
lation. Advantech assumes no liability under the terms of this warranty as  
a consequence of such events.  
If an Advantech product is defective, it will be repaired or replaced at no  
charge during the warranty period. For out-of-warranty repairs, you will  
be billed according to the cost of replacement materials, service time and  
freight. Please consult your dealer for more details.  
If you think you have a defective product, follow these steps:  
1.  
Collect all the information about the problem encountered. (For  
example, type of PC, CPU speed, Advantech products used, other  
hardware and software used, etc.) Note anything abnormal and list  
any on-screen messages you get when the problem occurs.  
2.  
3.  
Call your dealer and describe the problem. Please have your man-  
ual, product, and any helpful information readily available.  
If your product is diagnosed as defective, obtain an RMA (return  
material authorization) number from your dealer. This allows us to  
process your return more quickly.  
4.  
5.  
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 is not eligible for war-  
ranty service.  
Write the RMA number visibly on the outside of the package and  
ship it prepaid to your dealer.

Chapter 1 Hardware Configuration  
1.1 Introduction  
The PCE-5120 is designed with the Intel® 945G chipset and ICH7R (I/O  
controller) to support Core™ 2 Duo, Dual-Core Pentium® D / Pentium®  
4 / Celeron® D processors (refer to “Processor Support” on page vi) with  
a 533/800/1066 MHz front side bus and DDR2 533/667 MHz memory up  
to 4 GB. It follows the PICMG 1.3 specification and is the best solution  
for high-performance computing and applications in which a wide I/O  
bandwidth is demanded.  
The PCE-5120 offers a high-performance cost-saving integrated graphics  
unit, built into the Intel® 945G chipset, and features the unique Intel®  
Extreme Graphics architecture to maximize VGA performance and share  
system memory up to 224MB. Whenever higher graphics computing abil-  
ity is required, the PCE-5120 also provides a mainstream PCI Express x  
16 Link to the PICMG 1.3 backplane to interface add-on graphic cards. In  
addition, the PCE-5120 has a single/dual Gigabit Ethernet LAN via dedi-  
cated PCI Express x 1 bus, which offers bandwidths up to 500 MB/sec.,  
eliminating the network data flow bottlenecks, and incorporating Gigabit  
Ethernet to operate at 1000 Mbps. High reliability and outstanding perfor-  
mance make the PCE-5120 the ideal platform for industrial networking  
applications.  
By using the Intel® ICH7R chipset, the PCE-5120 offers another four  
PCI-Express x 1 Link to backplane which can be configured for support-  
ing variety expansion slots. With four on-board SATA2 interfaces (band-  
width = 300MB/sec), the PCE-5120 may support software RAID 0, 1, 5,  
10 functions; eight USB 2.0 connections (four on board and four to back-  
plane). These powerful I/O capabilities ensure even more reliable data  
storage capabilities and suitable for work with high-speed I/O peripher-  
als.  
In addition, the PCE-5120 also provides most of the popular I/O inter-  
faces such as one ATA-100 EIDE ports, AC'97 audio interface, four RS-  
232 ports (COM2 port may be configured for supporting RS-232/422/485  
through a pin header), one enhanced parallel port and floppy disk inter-  
face.

The PCE-5120 retains a legacy PCI 32-bit /33 MHz bus from the CPU  
board to the Backplane. It does not require a PCI-Express to PCI bridge  
chip to lower the system cost. It is good for the application and only needs  
a few legacy PCI Buses.  
The PCE-5120 is designed with considerations for extended reliability,  
and is built especially to suit demanding industrial environments. The  
CMOS data backup and restore function protects the BIOS setup data  
from loss due to battery failure. A 256-level watchdog timer prevents the  
system from hanging up if a program cannot be executed normally. A  
remote management port allows users to monitor the system health status  
and control the system remotely through standard SNMP/HTTP protocol  
when used with Advantech's ACMM-1000 and SNMP-1000 Intelligent  
System Manager.  
The PCE-5120 also adopts Advantech's unique patented “Sleep Mode  
Control Circuit” for AT Power Mode. With this thoughtful design, users  
need NOT clear the CMOS after the system enters S3 mode. With all  
these excellent features and outstanding performance, the PCE-5120 is  
definitely the ideal platform for today's industrial applications.

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 touching 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 elec-  
tronic components on a static-dissipative sur-  
face or in a static-shielded bag when they are  
not in the chassis.  
Caution! The computer is provided with a battery-pow-  
ered Real-time Clock circuit. There is a danger  
of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.  
Replace only with same or equivalent type rec-  
ommended by the manufacturer. Discard used  
batteries according to manufacturer's instruc-  
tions.  
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 battery.  
Replace the battery only with the same or  
equivalent type recommended by the manufac-  
turer. Discard used batteries according to the  
manufacturer’s instructions.

1.8 Jumper Settings  
This section provides instructions on how to configure your PCE-5120 by  
setting the jumpers. It also includes the PCE-5120's default settings and  
your options for each jumper.  
1.8.1 How to set jumpers  
You can configure your PCE-5120 to match the needs of your applica-  
tion by setting the jumpers. A jumper is a metal bridge that closes an elec-  
trical 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 setting jumpers.  
1.8.2 CMOS clear (CMOS1)  
The PCE-5120 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 PCE-5120 contains a watchdog timer that will reset the CPU in the  
event the CPU stops processing. This feature means the PCE-5120 will  
recover from a software 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 PCE-5120 has four sockets for 240-pin dual inline memory modules  
(DIMMs) in two memory channels.  
All these sockets use 1.8 V unbuffered double data rate synchronous  
DRAMs (DDR SDRAM). They are available in capacities of 256, 512  
and 1024 MB. The sockets can be filled in any combination with DIMMs  
of any size, giving a total memory size between 256 MB and 4 GB.  
1.9.1 CPU FSB and memory speed  
The PCE-5120 can accept DDR2 SDRAM memory chips without parity.  
Also note: The PCE-5120 accepts DDR2 400/533/667MHz SDRAM.  
The PCE-5120 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 automatically locked the mem-  
ory 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.  
1.11 Cache Memory  
The CPU that PCE-5120 supports built-in 4 MB (for Core™ 2 Duo), 2 x  
1024KB/2 x 2048KB cache memory (for Pentium D CPU), and 1024KB/  
2048KB (for Pentium 4 CPU), and 256KB/512 KB (For Celeron D CPU)  
full-speed L2 cache. The built-in second-level cache in the processor  
yields much higher performance than conventional external cache memo-  
ries.

Chapter 2 Connecting 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)  
JFP1  
JFP2  
JFP3  
IDE1  
LPT1  
You can attach up to two IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) drives to the  
PCE-5120'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.  
PCE-5120 offers an alternative type II CF socket of IDE port. The CF  
socket and IDE port can't work at the same time. It will cause the data  
conflict.

a printer. The PCE-5120 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.  
The parallel port is designated as LPT1, and can be disabled or changed  
to LPT2 or LPT3 in the system BIOS setup.  
To install the bracket, find an empty slot in your chassis. Unscrew the  
plate that covers 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.

Chapter 3 Award BIOS Setup  
3.1 Introduction  
Award’s BIOS ROM has a built-in setup program that allows users to  
modify the basic system configuration. This type of information is stored  
in battery backed-up memory (CMOS RAM) so that it retains the setup  
information when the power is turned off.  
3.1.1 CMOS RAM Auto-backup and Restore  
The CMOS RAM is powered by an onboard button cell battery. When  
you finish BIOS setup, the data in CMOS RAM will be automatically  
backed up to Flash ROM. If operation in harsh industrial environments  
causes a soft error, BIOS will recheck the data in CMOS RAM and auto-  
matically restore the original data in Flash ROM to CMOS RAM for  
booting.  
Note:  
If you intend to change the CMOS setting with-  
out restoring the previous backup, you have to  
click on “DEL” within two seconds of the  
“CMOS checksum error...” display screen mes-  
sage appearing. Then enter the “Setup” screen  
to modify the data. If the “CMOS checksum  
error...” message appears again and again,  
please check to see if you need to replace the  
battery in your system.
