1.2Features

1.High performance: The PCA-6187 uses Intel 865G chipset which offers high-bandwidth interfaces such as dual-channel DDR400 main memory, 800 MHz system bus, integrated graphics controller with Intel® Extreme Graphics 2 Technology, Intel® Communica- tion Streaming Architecture featuring a Dedicated Network Bus (DNB) interface for Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) and Hi-Speed USB 2.0 connectivity to ensure the flexibility and performance you expect.

2.Remote management: System healthy status including CPU fan, CPU temperature and system voltages levels are monitored to ensure stable operation. A remote monitoring interface is reserved for remote management through Ethernet by using Advantech's SNMP-1000 system management module.

3.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.

4.Supports Hyper-Threading :This allows a single HT-enabled Pentium 4 processor to process two threads simultaneously. By building two logical processors into a single physical processor, the performance and utilization of the processor resource will both increase. Users can obtain a higher CPU performance while Hyper- Threading is enabled.
