Sections include: • Card specifications Board layout Chapter 1 General Information 1 CHAPTER Introduction The SBC-556/L is an all-in-one single board Pentium computer card. With an onboard flat panel/CRT SVGA controller, the SBC-556/L packs all the functions of an industrial computer and its display capabilities onto a single, half-size card. This means the SBC-556/L is your absolute best solution for embedded applications. The onboard PCI-bus, flat panel/CRT SVGA controller uses the CHIPS 69000 chipset with 2 MB of SDRAM built in chip. This chipset, used with local PCI-bus, is a 64-bit graphics engine. Excellent for display- intensive applications, this card supports various LCD types, includ- ing TFT, DSTN, MONO, and EL. Another feature of the SBC-556/L is the inclusion of a high speed, local bus IDE controller. This controller supports (through ATA PIO) mode 3 and mode 4 hard disks, and Ultra DMA/33, enabling data transfer rates up to 33 MB/second. Up to two IDE devices can be connected, including large hard disks, CD-ROM drives, tape backup drives, or other IDE devices. Onboard features include two high-speed RS-232 serial ports with 16C550 UARTs, one bidirectional SPP/EPP/ECP parallel port, and one floppy drive controller. In addition, the SBC-556/L includes an extra 512 KB of second level on-board 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 stand alone systems. The SBC-556/L supports 5V EDO DRAM. It also provides two 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 8 MB to 128 MB of DRAM using the most economical combination of SIMMs. 2 SBC-556/L User Manual Features • DiskOnChip (SSD) up to 144MB C&T 69000 LCD controller supports 36-bit TFT panels. 100Base-T Fast Ethernet PC/104 expansion connector Optional function to support LVDS (Low Voltage Differential Signaling) for high-speed and low-power data transfer.

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 doubt about the best hardware configuration for your applications, contact your local distributor or sales represen- tative before you make any change. Generally, you simply need a standard cable to make most connec- tions. Chapter 2 Installation 13 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-556/L CPU card supports most Pentiums and their compatible 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. 14 SBC-556/L User Manual 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. Chapter 2 Installation 15 CPU clock ratio (JP1) JP1 must be set to match the CPU clock ratio.

The SBC-556’s IDE controller uses a PCI local-bus interface and supports faster data transfer. Connecting the hard drive Connecting drives is done in a daisy-chain fashion and requires one of two cables, depending on the drive size. 1.8" and 2.5" drives need a 1 x 44-pin to 2 x 44-pin flat-cable connector. 3.5" drives use a 1 x 44-pin to 2 x 40-pin connector. Wire number 1 on the cable is red or blue, and the other wires are gray. 1. Connect one end of the cable to CN5. 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.

Chapter 3 Award BIOS Setup 49 CHAPTER System test and initialization These routines test and initialize board hardware. If the routines encounter an error during the tests, you will either hear a few short beeps or see an error message on the screen. There are two kinds of errors: fatal and non-fatal. The system can usually continue the boot-up sequence with non-fatal errors. Non-fatal error messages usually appear on the screen along with the following instructions: press to RESUME Write down the message and press the F1 key to continue the boot-up sequence. System configuration verification These routines check the current system configuration against the values stored in the card’s CMOS memory. If they don’t match, the program outputs an error message. You will then need to run the BIOS setup program to set the configuration information in memory. There are three situations in which you will need to change the CMOS settings: 1. You are starting your system for the first time. 2. You have changed the hardware attached to your system. 3. The CMOS memory has lost power, and the configuration information has been erased. , The SBC-556/L s CMOS memory has an integral lithium battery backup. The battery backup should last ten years in normal service, but when it finally runs down, you will need to replace the complete unit. 50 SBC-556/L User Manual AWARD BIOS setup Entering setup Power up the computer and press immediately. This will allow you to enter Setup. Award’s BIOS ROM has a built-in Setup program that allows users to modify the basic system configuration.

However, it depends on CPU/chipset design. Quick Power On Self Test This category speeds up Power On Self Test (POST) after you power up the computer. If it is set to Enable, BIOS will shorten or skip some check items during POST. Boot Sequence This category determines which drive to search first for the disk operating system (i.e., DOS). Swap Floppy Drive This item allows you to determine whether you want to swap floppy drive or not. 54 SBC-556/L User Manual Boot Up Floppy Seek During POST, BIOS will determine if the floppy disk drive installed is 40 or 80 tracks. 360K type is 40 tracks while 760K, 1.2 M and 1.44M are all 80 tracks. Boot Up NumLock Status This allows you to determine the default state of the numeric keypad. Gate A20 Option This entry allows you to select how the gate A20 is handled. The gate A20 is a device used to address memory above 1 Mbyte. Initially, the gate A20 was handled via a pin on the keyboard. Today, while keyboards still provide this support, it is more common, and much faster, for the system chipset to provide support for gate A20. Security Option This category allows you to limit access to the system. Chapter 3 Award BIOS Setup 55 Chipset features setup 56 SBC-556/L User Manual This section allows you to configure the system based on the specific features of the installed chipset. This chipset manages bus speeds and access to system memory resources, such as DRAM and the external cache. It also coordinates communica- tions between the conventional ISA bus and the PCI bus. It must be stated that these items should never need to be altered. The default settings have been chosen because they provide the best operating conditions for your system. The only time you might consider making any changes would be if you discovered that data was being lost while using your system. Auto Configuration Set this item to Enabled to pre-defined values for DRAM, cache.. timing according to CPU type & system clock. Thus, each item value may display differently depending on your system configurations. When this item is enabled, the pre-defined items will become SHOW-ONLY. System BIOS Cacheable When enabled, accesses to the system BIOS ROM addressed at F0000H-FFFFFH are cached, provided that the cache controller is enabled. Video BIOS Cacheable As with caching the System BIOS above, enabling the Video BIOS cache will cause access to video BIOS addressed at C0000H to C7FFFH to be cached, if the cache controller is also enabled. Chapter 3 Award BIOS Setup 57 Power management setup By choosing the POWER MANAGEMENT SETUP option from the INITIAL SETUP SCREEN menu, the screen below is dis- played. The following configurations are the setup menu on the screen. 58 SBC-556/L User Manual Power Management There are four selections for Power Management, Disabled, Min Saving, Max Saving, User Define.

Doze Mode When enabled and after the set time of system inactivity, the CPU clock will run at a slower speed while all other devices still operate at full speed. Standby Mode When enabled and after the set time of system inactivity, the fixed disk drive and the video will be shut off while all other devices still operate at full speed. Suspend Mode When enabled and after the set time of system inactivity, all devices except the CPU will be shut off. 60 SBC-556/L User Manual PM Events PM events are I/O events whose occurrence can prevent the system from entering a power-saving mode or can awaken the system from such a mode. In effect, the system remains alert for anything which occurs to a device which is configured as En- abled, even when the system is in a power down mode. The following is a list of IRQ (Interrupt ReQuests) which can be exempted much as the COM ports and LPT ports above can. When an I/O device wants to gain the attention of the operating system, it signals this by causing an IRQ to occur. When the operating system is ready to respond to the request, it interrupts itself and performs the service. • IRQ3 (COM 2) IRQ4 (COM 1) IRQ5 (LPT 2) IRQ6 (Floppy Disk) IRQ7 (LPT 1) IRQ8 (RTC Alarm) IRQ9 (IRQ2 Redir) IRQ10 (Reserved) IRQ11 (Reserved) IRQ12 (PS/2) IRQ13 (Coprocessor) IRQ14 (Hard Disk) IRQ15 (Reserved) Chapter 3 Award BIOS Setup 61 PNP/PCI Configuration setup By choosing the PCI CONFIGURATION SETUP option from the INITIAL SETUP SCREEN menu, the screen below is displayed. This section describes configuring the PCI bus system. PCI, or Personal Computer Interconnect, is a system which allows I/O devices to operate at speeds nearing the speed the CPU itself uses when communicating with its own special components. This section covers some very technical items and it is strongly recommended that only experienced users should make any changes to the default settings. The following configurations are based on the manufacturer's SETUP DEFAULTS Settings. 62 SBC-556/L User Manual Resource Controlled by The Award Plug and Play BIOS has the capacity to automatically configure all of the boot, Plug and Play compatible devices. However, this capability means absolutely nothing unless you are ® . using a Plug and Play operating system such as Windows 95 Reset Configuration data This item allows you to determine whether to reset the configura- tion data or not. PCI IRQ Activated by This sets the method by which the PCI bus recognizes that an IRQ service is being requested by a device. Under all circumstances, you should retain the default configuration unless advised otherwise by your system manufacturer. Choices are Level and Edge. Chapter 3 Award BIOS Setup 63 PCI IDE IRQ Map to This allows you to configure your system to the type of IDE disk controller in use. The more apparent difference is the type of slot being used. If you have equipped your system with a PCI controller, changing this allows you to specify which slot has the controller and which PCI interrupt (A, B, C, or D) is associated with the connected hard drives. Remember that this setting refers to the hard disk drive itself, rather than individual partitions. Since each IDE controller supports two separate hard drives, you can select the INT# for each. Again, you will note that the primary has a lower interrupt than the secondary. Selecting PCI Auto allows the system to automatically determine how your IDE disk system is configured. Primary IDE INT# Refer to the above description of PCI IDE IRQ. 64 SBC-556/L User Manual Load BIOS DEFAULTS / LOAD SETUP DEFAULTS LOAD BIOS DEFAULTS loads the default system values directly from ROM. The BIOS DEFAULTS provide the most stable settings, though they do not provide optimal performance. LOAD SETUP DEFAULTS, on the other hand, provides for maximum system performance. If the stored record created by the Setup program becomes corrupted (and therefore unusable), BIOS defaults will load automatically when you turn on the SBC-556. Chapter 3 Award BIOS Setup 65 Integrated Peripherals Integrated Peripherals options are displayed by choosing the INTEGRATED PERIPHERALS icon from the INITIAL SETUP SCREEN. This section sets the IDE transfer mode for all IDE channels. It also configures the other onboard ports. The following configurations are based on the manufacturer's SETUP DEFAULTS settings. 66 SBC-556/L User Manual Internal PCI/IDE You can choose Disable to terminate the onboard PCI/IDE controller and then support external HDD devices. When the setting is Primary, users can set up IDE Mode or UltraDMA mode depending on the respective HDD drive. IDE Primary Master/Slave PIO These four lines set the hard disk PIO transfer mode, which affects the hard disk data transfer rate. The system will auto- detect the PIO mode of a device in any of these positions when they are set to 'Auto', the recommended setting. Alternatively, you can set the mode manually. Modes 0 to 4 are supported. Primary Master/Slave UltraDMA These four lines enable hard disk UltraDMA transfer mode, which requires a drive that supports this data transfer method. The system will auto-detect an UltraDMA device in any of these four positions when they are set to 'Auto', the recommended setting. The other setting is 'Disabled'. You can leave these setting on Auto if there are no UltraDMA devices installed. Chapter 3 Award BIOS Setup 67 IDE Burst Mode When this item is Enabled, the system will support burst data transfer mode to increase HDD transfer speed. IDE Data Port Post Write This item allows users to select Enabled to use data port post write for IDE drive. IDE HDD Block Mode Set this item to Enabled to use HDD block transfer mode. Onboard FDD Controller Enables or Disables the onboard Floppy Drive controllers. Onboard Serial Port 1/2 Sets the I/O address for serial ports 1/2.

The onboard 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. 78 SBC-556/L User 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 from the Supporting CD-ROM, you should: Know how to copy files from a CD-ROM to a directory on the hard disk Understand the MS-DOS directory structure 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 Make sure you know the version of the application for which you are installing drivers. The Supporting CD-ROM contain drivers for several versions of certain applications. For your driver to operate properly, you must install the driver for your version of the application program.

This feature ensures system reliability in industrial stand-alone and unmanned environments. Appendix A Programming the Watchdog Timer 95 APPENDIX Programming the watchdog timer How to program the WATCHDOG TIMER 1. To set the time-out interval of watchdog timer: -- output the desired value to port 0x443. Since the data is of 1 byte, the maximum value will be 255. In our design 1 ~ 127 will denote 1sec ~ 127sec, though 129 ~ 255 will denote lmin ~ 127min. e.g. outportb(0x443, 30); // set interval to 30 seconds outportb(0x443, 0x85); // set interval to 5 minutes 2. To set the time-out event: -- output data to prot 0x444, • 0: reset system  1, 2, 3: IRQ 10, 15, 11 respectively  4: NMI e.g. outportb(0x444, 0); // set time-out event to reset-system 3. To disable watchdog timer: -- output any value to port 0x80, e.g. outportb(0x80, data); // disable watchdog timer 4. To ebable or refresh watchdog timer(the watchdog timer will return to its initial value, then count down): -- access the I/O port 0x443, e.g. outportb(0x80, 0); // disable watchdog timer inportb(0x443); // refresh watchdog timer * note: if you want to refresh the watchdog timer, you have to disable it first. 96 SBC-556 /L User Manual Demo program outportb(0x444, 0): // set time-out event to reset-system outportb(0x443x 10); // set time-out interval to 10 seconds iutportb(0x443); // enable watchdog timer customer_job(); // execute your job here, be sure your job will finished in 10 seconds outportb(0x80, 0); // refresh watchdog timer, otherwise the system will reset after time-out inportb(0x443); another_job(); // another job finished in 10 seconds outportb(0x80, 0) // disable watchdog timer ... ...
