General
Information
This chapter gives background informa-
tion on the SBC-411/411E.
Sections include:
• Card specifications
• Board layout
Chapter 1 General Information 1
CHAPTER
Introduction
The SBC-411/411E is an all-in-one single board 486 computer with an on-
board PCI Ethernet interface (SBC-411E). It packs all the functions of an
industrial computer and its display capabilities into a single, half-size card.
This means the SBC-411/411E is your absolute best solution for embedded
applications.
The onboard Ethernet Realtek RTL 8029AS PCI bus Ethernet controller
supports remote boot ROM functions (SBC-411E only).
The SBC-411/411E supports the M-Systems DiskOnChip 2000 (optional)
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 72MB and fits in a standard 32-pin DIP
socket.
Another feature of the SBC-411/411E is the inclusion of a high speed, local
bus IDE controller. This controller supports (through ATA PIO) mode 3
and mode 4 hard disks, enabling data transfer rates in excess of 11 MB/
second. Up to four IDE devices can be connected, including large hard
disks, CD-ROM drives, tape backup drives, or other IDE devices. The
built-in, enhanced IDE controller provides a 4-layer, 32-bit, posted write
buffer and a 4-layer, 32-bit read-prefetch buffer to boost IDE performance.
Onboard features include two high speed RS-232 serial ports, one bidirec-
tional SPP/EPP/ECP parallel port and a floppy drive controller. In addition
to the 486's 16 KB of on-chip cache memory, the SBC-411/411E includes an
extra 128 KB of L2 onboard cache memory.
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.
2 SBC-411/411E User Manual
All configuration display and Ethernet (SBC-411E) is done through
software. A single Flash chip holds the system BIOS, VGA BIOS. This
minimizes the number of chip and eases configuration. You can
change the display BIOS or install a boot ROM simply by program-
ming the Flash chip.
The SBC-411/411E supports 5 V EDO DRAM. It also provides one 72-
pin SIMM (Single In-line Memory Module) sockets for its onboard
system DRAM. These sockets give you the flexibility to configure
your system from 4 MB to 32 MB of DRAM using the most economi-
cal combination of SIMMs.

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 representa-
tive before you make any changes.
Generally, you simply need a standard cable to make most connec-
tions.
12 SBC-411/411E 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,
sensitive electronic components can be damaged
by the sudden rush of power. Only experienced
electronics personnel should open the PC chas-
sis.
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 Installation 13
Installing DRAM (SIMMs)
The SBC-411/411E CPU card provides one 72-pin SIMM (Single In-
line Memory Module) socket and supports between 4 MB to 32
MB of RAM.
Installing SIMM
Note: that the modules can only fit into a socket one way.
1. Insert the memory module into the socket at a moderate angle.
2. 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 similarly
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.
14 SBC-411/411E User Manual
IDE hard drive connector (CN1)
You can attach up to two Enhanced Integrated Device Electronics
(IDE) hard disk drives to the SBC-411/411E internal controllers. The
card comes with a 40-pin cable.
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 CN1 on the CPU card. 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 the other as the slave. You do this using
jumpers on the drives. If you install just one drive, set it as the
master.

accessed through a 26-pin flat-cable connector. The CPU 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.
Installing the retaining bracket
The retaining bracket installs at an empty slot in your system's
chassis. It provides an external port that allows your parallel
peripheral access to the card's parallel port connector.
1. Find an empty slot in your chassis.
2. Unscrew the plate that covers the end of the slot.
3. Screw in the bracket in place of the plate.
4. Next, attach the flat-cable connector to CN3 on the CPU card.

Chapter 2 Installation 25
DiskOnChip (DOC) 2000 Installation
When the DOC is installed correctly, a DOC will work like a HDD or
a FDD. To install the DOC on the mainboard, follow the instruc-
tions below:
1. Plug the DOC into the socket. Make sure pin 1 of the DOC is
aligned with pin 1 of the socket.
2. Push the DOC into the socket until it is firmly seated in the
socket.
Caution: the DOC may be permanently damaged if it is installed
incorrectly.
3. Set the jumper for the memory address of the DOC.
Note:
The memory shadow function sometimes will create conflicts with
the memory window. You should disable the memory shadow from
the BIOS SETUP if the DOC cannot be accessed.
Configure DOC as a boot device
To configure a DOC as a boot drive, you should copy the operating
system files into the DOC. The following procedure is an example
of the initialization process.
1. Install a DOC into your system.
2. Insert a bootable floppy disk in drive A: and boot the system.
3. At the DOS prompt, type SYS C: to transfer the DOS system
files to the DOC (assuming the DiskOnChip is installed as drive
C:). Reboot the system.
4. Go to the BIOS Setup Utility by hitting the key. Set the
type of Primary Master or C: Drive as Not Installed.
5. Remove the floppy disk from the drive A: and leave the BIOS
Setup Utility. The system should boot from the DOC.
