1.3. Overview
1.3.1. Technical Details
The EUROCOM 450 is a Intel® Core 2 Duo T7400 or L7400 based single board computer on a COM Express board for
compact industrial real-time systems. The board is based on the Intel chip set E7520 (Lindenhurst) for server systems,
which is on Intel’s Embedded Program for long-lifetime products. The COM module contains all of a CPU’s logic, userspecific I/O can be implemented on an easytodo carrier board.
1.3.1.1. CPU
A Intel® Core 2 Duo processor is supported; Intel® Core 2 Duo is the successor of the Core Duo CPU. CPU clocks
between 1.5 and 2.16 GHz are supported. The CPU has FPU, MMU, first level cache (32kB each for instruction and data)
and a L2 cache (4 MB unified) on the chip. Each of the two cores contains dual integer units, that can operate in parallel
for certain instructions. Special care has been taken to achieve a low power consumption and a good relationship
between clock and computing performance: the new CPUs do not increase clock speeds whole sacrificing power
consumption; instead, they use a parallel implementation with relatively low consumption. The second-level cache, due
to its location in the CPU itself, runs with the full CPU clock.
The low power consumption of the CPU makes it possible to build systems withstanding high ambient
temperatures with simple cooling.
1.3.1.2. Memory Configuration
The 64-bit wide memory allows configurations of up to 4 GBytes with DDR2-400 RAMs in two DIMM modules, error
detection and single-bit error correction is supported. The DIMMs must be registered and must support ECC.
1.3.1.3. Chip Set
The chip set, an Intel E7520, contains the DDR2 RAM memory controller with ECC, the interrupt controller, three 8-lane
(x8) PCI Express ports and the PCI host bridge for 32-bit/33-MHz PCI, as well as for PCI-X. Additionally, it has logic to
access an 8-bit ROM, it has timers, a DMA controller, and it generates clocks.

hardware documentation
1.3.1.4. Graphics Interface
The on-board graphics controller is a PCI-based chip (SM 712). Maximum display resolution is 1280 * 1024 * 60 Hz @24
bit/pixel.
Resolution fps
800x600 60, 75, 85
1024x768 60, 75, 85
1280x1024 60
1.3.1.5. Boot PROM
Boot code is stored in a Flash EPROM (size 512 or 1024 kB) which enables easy code updates. The boot proms contains
the BIOS, an version from AMI with PXE netboot.
1.3.1.6. Ethernet Interfaces
The network interfaces uses a PCI-X-based Ethernet controller i82541PI for 10/100/1000 Mbps transfers with 10BaseT
(twisted pair), 100Base TX or 1000Base TX connectivity. Automatic speed detection is included. A Link signal and an
Activity signal allow a connection of LEDs for an easy first check if the Ethernet connection works.
1.3.1.7. COM Express Interface
The COM Express interface is implemented as type 2. The interface uses the signals: two x8 PCIe, one x4 PCIe, one x1
PCIe, PCI 33/32, VGA, UB 2.0, one Ethernet port, IDE, serial ATA.
1.3.1.8. Timer
The EUROCOM 450 has three standard PC programmable timers for timing interrupts in the 1 us to 1000 ms range.
1.3.1.9. Operating Systems
As a Core 2 Duo based CPU board with a complete BIOS, the EUROCOM 450 can of course be run under Windows.
Compliant with the ELTEC Linux Initiative, the EUROCOM 450 additionally supports implementations of Standard Linux
and Embedded Linux - applications for both operating systems can be designed under Linux. Linux is best when a full
operating system is needed. Embedded Linux is for applications with the smallest footprint.
1.3.1.10. Miscellaneous
The EUROCOM 450 is intended for use on COM Express carrier boards, that can be equipped with additional I/O, such as
network interfaces, super I/O chips, field busses, as well as all I/O connectors that are needed.
1.3.1.11. Industry-grade Case
As an option, the EUROCOM 450 can be ordered in an industrial-grade case, made of steel. This case has a
motherboard-style carrier with three free PCIe slots and two free PCI slots; it has a power supply with sufficient cooling
fans for the EUROCOM 450 and the peripheral boards.

1.4. Installation
1.4.1. Introduction
Do always observe precautions for handling electrostatic devices when unplugging boards from the rack or otherwise
handling boards. Avoid touching integrated circuits except in an electrostatic free environment. Electrostatic discharge
can damage circuits or shorten their lifetime.
Þ Carefully remove the board from the shipping carton.
Þ Save the original shipping container and packing material for storing or reshipping the board.
Þ Inspect the board for any shipping damage. If undamaged, the board can be prepared for system installation.
1.4.2. DIMM Installation
If the EUROCOM 450 is not shipped with DRAM DIMMs, the user must insert his own DIMMs (PC3200, registered, with
ECC) on the board. The EUROCOM 450 is not able to run without DRAM. DIMM installation can be done easily. The board
has two DIMM sockets, X501 and X601. The BIOS software detects automatically if the banks are populated. Also the size
of the DIMMs is detected automatically. The DIMMs are simply plugged into the socket (it fits only in one orientation).
The two latches on the socket must hold the DIMMs. Otherwise the DIMMs are not properly connected. As the chipset
provides a two channel memory interface it is recommended two populate both sockets to get best memory performance
1.4.3. Board Installation
All add-on modules on the EUROCOM 450 are already installed when shipped. There is no reason to remove add-on
modules. The EUROCOM 450 requires a carrier board. Before the board has plugged onto the carrier, the heatspreader
and heatsink must be installed.
First install the heat conducting paste on the CPU and the chipset, followed by the small heatspreader and the Gap
Pads.
Then connect the large heatspreader.
5
hardware documentation
At least plug the modul onto the carrierboard and fix it.
Make sure that the power supply within the rack meets the power requirements specified in Section "Power
Requirements". Also the operating requirements must meet the values specified in Section "Environmental Conditions".
1.5. Cooling Requirements
Cooling of the EUROCOM 450 and especially of the processor is essential. Depending on the processor
frequency and the type of heatsink used different maximum air temperatures can be tolerated. See
Section 'Environmental Conditions' for a detailed list of specified air temperatures.
1.6. Testing the Installation
After power is switched on the BIOS displays a message on the CRT screen. It takes some time before
the BIOS is ready to display. After system boot from harddisk or floppy drive the keyboard should work.
The driver software for the mouse should detect the mouse device. If a network is installed, other network
devices (if existent) should be accessible (e.g. from Windows file manager). These default configurations
may be different depending on the required CPU frequency.
2. BIOS Setup
The EUROCOM 450 is delivered with an BIOS from AMI. The BIOS includes a setup menu to configure basic settings.
ELTEC ships the EUROCOM 450 with optimized BIOS settings. If desired, most of the BIOS settings can be changed
(some settings are hardwired). Also if the battery for the CMOS RAM is weak, the RAM may loose its contents making a
new setting of the setup necessary. Caution should be taken because some changes of settings may cause an erroneous
system behaviour.
It may happen that the values in the nonvolatile memory inhibit starting of the EUROCOM 450. In this case board can
be reset to the default values by the following procedure:
Þ remove the board from the carrierboard
Þ wait about 10 seconds
Þ reinstall board
2.1.1. Power On Self Test
When the EUROCOM 450 is powered on, the BIOS tests and initializes the hardware and programs the chipset and other
peripheral components. During this time, Power On Self Test (POST) progress codes are written by the system BIOS to
I/O port 80h, allowing the user to monitor the progress with a special monitor. A later chapter lists the POST codes and
their meanings.
6
hardware documentation
During early POST, no video is available to display error messages should a critical error be encountered; therefore,
POST uses beeps on the speaker to indicate the failure of a critical system component during this time. A later chapter
lists the Beep codes and their meanings.

5.1. Interrupts
The EUROCOM 450 uses the PC interrupts for different purposes. First there are the PC compatible interrupt sources like
timer, keyboard, EIDE, real-time clock and coprocessor. These interrupt sources require dedicated interrupt numbers,
which are fixed. Never use these interrupt numbers for other modules.
The PCI interrupts INTA, INTB, INTC and INTD are routed via the ICH to one of the ISA interrupts. The used interrupt
number must be defined in the BIOS setup menu. If not specified, the BIOS automatically sets the routing for the PCI
interrupts.
