Sections include: • Card specifications • Board layout Chapter 1 General Information 1 CHAPTER Introduction The SBC-455 is an all-in-one single board 486 computer with an on- board 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-455 is your absolute best solution for embedded applications. The on-board PCI-bus, flat panel/CRT SVGA controller uses the CHIPS 65548 chipset with up to 1 MB of video memory. This chipset, used with the local PCI-bus, enables 32-bit graphic throughput at up to 33 MHz. Excellent for display-intensive applications, it supports various LCD types including TFT, STN, B/W, and EL. Another feature of the SBC-455 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 accomplish IDE boost performance improvements. On-board features include two high speed RS-232 serial ports with 16C550 UARTs, one bidirectional 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-455 includes an extra 128 KB of second level on-board cache memory. If program execution is halted by a program bug or EMI, the board's 16-stage watchdog timer can automatically reset the CPU or generate an interrupt. This ensures reliability in unmanned or standalone systems. The SBC-455 supports 5 V EDO DRAM. It also provides two 72-pin SIMM (Single In-line Memory Module) sockets for its on-board system DRAM. These sockets give you the flexibility to configure your system from 1 MB to 64 MB of DRAM using the most economi- cal combination of SIMMs. 2 SBC-455 User's Manual Features • Accepts Intel, AMD, Cyrix or other compatible 486 processors, including the P24T Pentium OverDrive • Half-size PC/AT-compatible ISA-bus CPU card • AMI Flash BIOS • Daughterboard available for various flat panel displays • On-board 32-bit PCI-bus, flat panel/CRT SVGA controller • Built-in PCI Enhanced IDE controller, supports two IDE devices (large hard disks, CD-ROM, tape backup, etc.) • Up to 64 MB on-board DRAM • Supports 5 V EDO DRAM • Two high speed serial RS-232 ports (16C550 UARTs with 16-byte FIFO).

B1 IMI SC464 14.318 TC5142560BJ-70 24MHz ST M48T86PCI 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. 3 2 1 Open Closed Closed 2-3 The jumper settings are schematically depicted in this manual as follows: 1 2 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 connections. 12 SBC-455 User's 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. Installing the CPU The SBC-455 CPU card supports most 486 CPUs. The system's performance depends on the CPU you choose. You can install or upgrade the CPU in the board's PGA socket by following the procedures outlined below. If your system has an existing CPU, you need to remove it before installing the new CPU. Removing a CPU 1. Disconnect power from the chassis, and unplug all connections to the CPU card. Then, remove the CPU card from the chassis by following the instructions in the user's manual for your chassis. 2. Lift the CPU out of the PGA socket. The old chip may be difficult to remove. You may find spray chip lubricant, designed for pin-grid-array (PGA) devices, and a chip puller helpful. These are available at electronics hobbyists' supply stores. Chapter 2 Installation 13 Installing a CPU To install the CPU, follow the instructions that came with it. If no documentation was provided, the general procedures for installing a CPU are outlined below: 1. Lubricate the pins on the CPU with lubricant for PGA devices. This makes the CPU slide in much easier and greatly reduces the chance of damaging the pins and other components. 2. Carefully align the CPU so that it is parallel to the socket. Make sure that the notch on the corner of the CPU matches the notch on the inside of the socket. 3. Gently push the CPU into the socket. There will probably be a small gap between the CPU and the socket even when it is fully seated. DO NOT USE EXCESSIVE FORCE! When you install a new CPU, you may have to adjust other settings on the board, such as CPU type, CPU clock, and PCI speed, to accommodate it. Make sure that the settings are correct for your CPU. Improper settings may damage the CPU. 14 SBC-455 User's Manual CPU type select (JP1, JP3, JP4) JP1, JP3, and JP4 must be set to match the CPU type.

When installing SIMMs, make sure that Bank 1 is filled first. Installing SIMMs 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. 3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for each module you install. Removing SIMMs 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. 4. Repeat the above steps for each module you remove. Chapter 2 Installation 17 IDE hard drive connections (IDE) You can attach two Enhanced Integrated Device Electronics hard disk drives to the SBC-455'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 connec- tor, 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. 18 SBC-455 User's Manual Pin assignments The following table lists the pin numbers and their respective signals: IDE Connector (PRIMARY IDE) Pin Signal Pin Signal 1 Reset 2 GND 3D7 4 D8 5D6 6 D9 7 D5 8 D10 9 D4 10 D11 11 D3 12 D12 13 D2 14 D13 15 D1 16 D14 17 D0 18 D15 19 GND 20 N.C. 21 N.C, 22 GND 23 IOW 24 GND 25 IOR 26 GND 27 IORDY 28 BALE 29 N.C. 30 GND 31 IRQ 14 32 -I/O CS16 33 A1 34 N.C. 35 A0 36 A2 37 CS0 38 CS1 39 -ACT 40 GND IDE LED (IDE LED) You can connect an LED to indicate that an IDE device is in use.

Watchdog timer time-out signal select (JP6) Reset CPU(default) IRQ15 1 2 3 1 2 3 Watchdog timer programming The watchdog timer must be programmed to write to I/O port address 443 at an interval shorter than the timer's preset interval. The timer's interval has a tolerance of ±5%, so you should pro- gram an instruction that will refresh the timer before a time-out occurs. The following steps illustrate how you might program the watchdog timer. 1. Write to I/O port 443 (Hex) and designate a time-out interval. This will enable the watchdog and set up its time-out interval. 2. Write to I/O port 080 (Hex) and any random value. This will in turn disable the watchdog timer. 28 SBC-455 User's Manual The watchdog timer-out interval can be set at 15 levels between 2 and 32 seconds.

Your VGA adapter is based on the CHIPS VGA Flat Panel/CRT controller and is fully IBM VGA compatible. This controller offers a large set of extended functions and higher resolutions. If you intend to use your VGA adapter in standard VGA modes only, you do not need to install any of these drivers. Since your VGA adapter is fully compat- ible, it does not require any special drivers to operate in standard modes. The purpose of the enclosed software drivers is to take advantage of the extended features of the CHIPS VGA Flat Panel/CRT controller. Hardware configuration Some of the high-resolution drivers provided in this package will work only in certain system configurations. If a driver does not display correctly, try the following: 1. Change the display controller to CRT-only mode, rather than flat panel or simultaneous display mode. Some high-resolution drivers will display correctly only in CRT mode. 2. If a high-resolution mode is not supported on your system, try using a lower-resolution mode. For example, 1024 x 768 mode will not work on some systems, but 800 x 600 mode is supported on most. 64 PCM-5890 User's Manual Necessary prerequisites The instructions in this manual assume that you understand elementa- ry concepts of MS-DOS and the IBM Personal Computer. Before you attempt to install any driver or utility, you should: • Know how to copy files from a floppy disk to a directory on the hard disk • Understand the MS-DOS directory structure • Know how to format a floppy disk If you are uncertain about any of these concepts, please refer to the DOS or OS/2 user reference guides for more information, before you proceed with the installation. Before you begin Before you begin the driver software installation, you should make backup copies of the Display Driver Diskettes. Store the original disks in a safe place. Make sure you know the version of the application for which you are installing drivers. Your Display Driver Diskettes contain drivers for several versions of certain applications.

APPENDIX Installing PC/104 modules The SBC-455's PC/104 connectors give you the flexibility to attach PC/104 expansion modules. These modules perform the functions of traditional plug-in expansion cards, but save space and valuable slots. Modules include: • PCM-3810 Solid State Disk Module • PCM-3820 High Density Flash Disk Module • PCM-3110 PCMCIA Module • PCM-3111 Secondary PCMCIA Module • PCM-3610 Isolated RS-232 and RS-422/485 Module • PCM-3660 Ethernet Module • PCM-3718 30 KHz A/D Module • PCM-3724 48-channel DIO Module • PCM-3910 Breadboard Module To install these modules on the SBC-455 is a quick and simple operation. The following steps show how to mount the PC/104 modules: Step1 Remove the SBC-455 from your system paying particular attention to the safety instructions already mentioned above. Step2 Make any jumper or link changes required to the CPU card now. Once the PC/104 module is mounted, you may have difficulty in accessing these. Step3 Normal PC/104 modules have "male" connectors and mount directly onto the main card. However, for reasons that ensure better bus matching, the connectors on the SBC-455 and the PC/104 module are both "female". For this reason you need to plug-in a "male- male" adapter (included with the SBC-455). Please refer to the following PC/104 module mounting diagram on the following page. After this is in place, you have the correct mounting connector to accept your PC/104 module. B-84 SBC-455 User's Manual Step4 Mount the PC/104 module onto the CPU card.
