CHAPTER
Introduction
The SBC-357/4M is an all-in-one single board 386 computer with an
onboard flat panel/CRT SVGA controller. It packs all the
functions of an industrial computer and its display capabilities
onto a single, half-size card. This means the SBC-357/4M is your
absolute best solution for embedded applications.
The onboard ISA-Bus, flat panel/CRT SVGA controller uses the
CHIPS 65545 chipset with up to 1 MB of video memory (512KB
onboard). It supports various LCD types including TFT, STN,
Normal, and EL.
The SBC-357/4M supports the optional M-Systems DiskOnChip
2000 which is a new generation of high performance single-chip
Flash Disk. It provides a Flash Disk (as a BIOS expansion) which
doesn't require any bus, slots, or connectors. It is also the optimal
solution for Single Board Computers because of its small size,
easy integration, plug-and-play functionality, and its low power
consumption. The DiskOnChip is available in capacities from
2MB to 288MB and fits in a standard 32-pin DIP socket.
The SBC-357/4M also features three high speed RS-232 serial ports,
and one RS-232/422/485 serial port with 16C550 UARTs, one
bidirectional SPP/EPP/ECP parallel port, and a floppy drive
controller, all onboard.
If program execution is halted by a program bug or EMI, the board's
watchdog timer can automatically reset the CPU or generate an
interrupt. This ensures reliability in unmanned or standalone
systems.
All configuration is done through software. A single Flash chip
holds the system BIOS, VGA BIOS, and the network boot ROM
image. This minimizes the number of chips and eases configura-
tion. You can change the display BIOS or install a boot ROM
simply by programming the Flash chip.
The SBC-357/4M supports 5 V EDO or FP DRAM. It also provides
one 72-pin SIMM (Single In-line Memory Module) socket for its
onboard system DRAM. These socket configures your system up
to 20 MB of DRAM.

Setting jumpers
You configure your card to match the needs of your application by
setting jumpers. A jumper is the simplest kind of electric switch.
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” a jumper you connect the pins with the clip. To
“open” a jumper you remove the clip. Sometimes a jumper will
have three pins, labeled 1, 2, and 3. In this case you would
connect either pins 1 and 2 or 2 and 3.

Open Closed Closed 2-3
A pair of needle-nose pliers may be helpful when working with
jumpers.
If you have any doubts about the best hardware configuration for
your application, contact your local distributor or sales represen-
tative before you make any changes.
Generally, you simply need a standard cable to make most
connections.
10 SBC-357/4M User Manual
Safety precautions
Warning! Always completely disconnect the power cord from
your chassis whenever you are working on it. Do
not make connections while the power is on
because sensitive electronic components can be
damaged by the sudden rush of power. Only
experienced electronics personnel should open
the PC chassis.
Caution! Always ground yourself to remove any static
charge before touching the CPU card. Modern
electronic devices are very sensitive to static
electric charges. 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.
Chapter 2 Hardware Configuration 11
Installing DRAM (SIMMs)
The SBC-357/4M CPU card provides one 72-pin SIMM (Single In-
line Memory Module) socket that supports up to 20MB DRAM.
When installing SIMM, make sure to follow instructions below.
* The SBC-357/4M CPU card supports single side F.P or EDO
DRAM module only.
Installing SIMM
Note: The modules can only be fitted into a socket one way.
1. Ensure that all power source are disconnected.
2. Slip the memory module into the socket at a moderate angle.
3. Push the module toward the vertical posts at both ends of the
socket until the module is upright and the retaining clips at
both ends of the module click into place. When positioned
correctly, the pins on top of the vertical posts should corre-
spond to the circular holes on the ends of the module.
Removing SIMM
If you need to remove a SIMM, follow the procedures below:
1. Supporting the SIMM with a finger, use a pen or a similar
shaped object and press one retaining clip straight down.
2. Repeat for the other side. When released, the retaining clips
will push the SIMM up and out of its upright position.
3. Carefully pull the SIMM out of the socket with your fingers.
12 SBC-357/4M User Manual
IDE hard drive connector (CN1)
You can attach two Enhanced Integrated Device Electronics hard
disk drives to the SBC-357/4M's internal controller. The card comes
with a 40-pin flat piggyback cable. This cable has three identical
40-pin flat-cable connectors.
Connecting the hard drive
Wire number 1 on the cable is red or blue, and the other wires are
gray.
1. Connect one end of the cable to the IDE connector. Make
sure that the red (or blue) wire corresponds to pin 1 on the
connector, which is labeled on the board (on the right side).
2. Plug the other end of the cable to the Enhanced IDE hard
drive, with pin 1 on the cable corresponding to pin 1 on the
hard drive. See your hard drive's documentation for the
location of the connector.
Unlike floppy drives, you can make the connections with any of
the connectors on the cable. If you install two drives, you will
need to set one as the master and one as the slave. You do this
using jumpers on the drives. If you install just one drive, set it as
the master.

FANTASTIC RESOURCE
One of our top priorities is maintaining our business with precision, and we are constantly looking for affiliates that can help us achieve our goal.

With our strict fundamentals and high expectations, we were surprised when we came across GID Industrial and their competitive pricing. When we approached them with our issue, they were incredibly confident in being able to provide us with a seamless solution at the best price for us.

HARD TO FIND A BETTER PROVIDER
Our company provides services to aid in the manufacture of technological products, such as semiconductors and flat panel displays, and often searching for distributors of obsolete product we require can waste time and money. Finding GID Industrial proved to be a great asset to our company, with cost effective solutions and superior knowledge on all of their materials, it’d be hard to find a better provider of obsolete or hard to find products.
Applied Materials
CONSISTENTLY DELIVERS QUALITY SOLUTIONS
Over the years, the equipment used in our company becomes discontinued, but they’re still of great use to us and our customers. Once these products are no longer available through the manufacturer, finding a reliable, quick supplier is a necessity, and luckily for us, GID Industrial has provided the most trustworthy, quality solutions to our obsolete component needs.

GO TO SOURCE
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.
