1.1 Introduction

Half-size CPU Card, SBC-657B / HSB-657I, is powered by VIA
C3 series microprocessor with a maximum of 800MHz high
process speed. Featured with CoolStream architecture, it
performs as a strengthened single board computer with low
power consumption while no CPU fan required.

Onboard VIA ProSavage PN133 chipset integrates various
functions, including excellent display presentation ability.
Featured with AGP 4X, the throughput can reach as high as

1.07GB per second. LCD interface is both provided by TTL and
LVDS up to 36 bit. Also, supporting CRT and LCD to display at
the same time offers wider media applications.

One RJ-45 Ethernet connector comes with a maximum data
transfer rate of 100MB per seco nd. The 7.3” x 4.8” computer
board is connected to the infinite LAN world. Four serial ports
are designed particularly for industry standard applications and
offering various devices connection ability. And, four USB ports
provide Plug-and-Play pleasant uses.

Implementing 16-bit Industry Standard Architecture (ISA)
interface makes it easy to apply onto a wide range of industry
fields. Industrial standard Type II CompactFlash slot performs
as a mobile memory device with utilization freedom. PC/104
socket is reserved for further function expansion interface.
Overall, this powerful CPU card is a high-end computer board
for implementation.

2.1 Safety Precautions

Always completely disconnect the power cord from
your board whenever you are working on it. Do not
make connections while the power is on, because a
sudden rush of power can damage sensitive
electronic components.

Always ground yourself to remove any static charge
before touching the board. 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

2.6 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
representative before you make any change.

Generally, you simply need a standard cable to make most
connections.

2.21 IDE Hard Drive Connector (CN8)

You can attach up to two Enhanced Integrated Device Electronics
hard disk drives to CN8. The IDE controller of HSB-657I uses a
PCI local bus interface. This advanced interface supports faster data
transfer.

Connecting the hard drive

Wire number 1 on the cable is normally red or blue, and the other
wires are usually gray.

1. Connect one end of the cable to CN8. Make sure that the red
wire corresponds to pin 1 on the connector .

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 drives.
(See your hard drive's documentation for the location of the
connector).

Connect a second drive with another connector on the cable as
described above.

interfaces, which give complete plug and play and also hot
attach/detach for up to 127 external devices. The USB interfaces
comply with USB specification rev. 1.1 and are fuse protected.

The USB interfaces are accessed through two 10-pin flat-cable
connectors, CN6 & CN8. The adapter cable has a 10-pin connector
on one end and two USB connectors on the bracket on the other
end.

The USB interfaces can be disabled in the system BIOS setup.

3.1 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 <F1> 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 CMOS memory. If they do not match, the
program outputs an error messag e. 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-657B / HSB-657I CMOS memory has an integral lithium
battery backup for data retention. However, you will need to replace
the complete unit whe n it finally runs down.

Programming

An onboard watchdog timer reduces the chance of disruptions which

CPLD (Compact Programmable Logical Device) interface can cause.

This is an invaluable protective device for standalone or punmanned

applications. When the watchdog timer activates (CPU processing

has come to a halt), it can reset the system, or generate an interrupt

on IRQ10, IRQ11, IRQ15, and NM1. This can be set via I/O Port

444, the function as following:

0: RESET
1: NM1
2: IRQ10
3: IRQ11

4: IRQ15
If you decide to program the watchdog timer, you must write data to
I/O port 443 (hex). The output data is a value timer. You can write
form 01 (hex) to FF (hex) while simultaneously setting it. When you
want to disable the watchdog timer, your program should read a Hex
value from I/O port 80 (hex).

The following procesude is a sample program for the watchdog
timer:

The time interval data of the watchdog timer is shown in binary code
(8 bits).

Sample 2: 5 seconds
