Chapter 1 General Information 1
Page 10
Introduction
The SBC-556 is an all-in-one single board Pentium computer card.
With an onboard flat panel/CR T SVGA controller , the SBC-556 packs
all the functions of an industrial computer and its display capabilities
onto a single, half-size card. This means the SBC-556 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 displayintensive applications, this card supports various LCD types, including TFT , DSTN, MONO, and EL.
Another feature of the SBC-556 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 UART s, one bidirectional SPP/EPP/ECP parallel port, and one
floppy drive controller. In addition, the SBC-556 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 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.

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.

The jumper settings are schematically depicted in this manual as
follows:

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 representative before you make any change.
Generally, you simply need a standard cable to make most connections.
Chapter 2 Installation 13
Page 22
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 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. Y ou 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 User Manual
Page 23
Installing a CPU
T o 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.

IDE hard drive connector (CN5)
You can attach one or two Enhanced Integrated Device Electron-ics
hard disk drives to the SBC-556’s internal controller . 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.
(See your hard drive’s documentation for the location of the
connector.)
Connect a second drive as described above.
Unlike floppy drives, IDE hard drives can connect to either end of
the cable. If you install two drives, you will need to set one as the
master and one as the slave by using jumpers on the drives. If you
install just one drive, set it as the master.

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 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,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.

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)
• IRQ1 1 (Reserved)
• IRQ12 (PS/2)
• IRQ13 (Coprocessor)
• IRQ14 (Hard Disk)

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 DEF AULTS Settings.

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.

LOAD BIOS DEF AULTS loads the default system values directly
from ROM. The BIOS DEF AULTS provide the most stable
settings, though they do not provide optimal performance. LOAD
SETUP DEF AULTS, on the other hand, provides for maximum
system performance. If the stored record created by the Setup
program becomes corrupted (and therefore unusable), BIOS

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 autodetect 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

• Driver types and installation
Chapter 4 Driver Installation 77
Page 86
Software drivers
This chapter describes the operation and installation of the display
drivers supplied on the Supporting CD-ROM that are shipped with
your product.
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 compatible, 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.

Necessary prerequisites
The instructions in this manual assume that you understand elementary 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.
