(L1) instruction cache and 16K L1 data cache. These cache arrays run at the full speed
of the processor core.
For Celeron processors, a 128K unified, non-blocking second level (L2) cache improves
performance by reducing the average memory access time and providing fast access to
recently used instructions and data.
DRAM M
EMORYThe DRAM interface consists of two dual in-line memory module (DIMM) sockets and
supports auto detection of memory up to 512MB of Synchronous DRAM (SDRAM) for
the 440BX or up to 1GB of SDRAM for the 440GX. Minimum memory size is 8MB.
The System BIOS automatically detects memory type, size and speed.
The SBC uses industry standard 64-bit or 72-bit wide gold finger DIMM SDRAM
modules in two 168-pin DIMM sockets.
______________________________________________________________________
NOTE: Memory can be installed in one or both DIMM sockets. If only one DIMM
module is used, it must be populated in the top DIMM socket (Bank 1 - BK1). If two
modules are used, they must be the same DIMM type, but may be different sizes (see
table below). EDO DIMMs are not supported. All DIMMs must have gold contacts.
______________________________________________________________________
The SBC supports DIMM memory modules which are PC-100 compliant and have the
following features:
•168-pin DIMMs with gold-plated contacts
•100MHz SDRAM

The 69000 HiQVideo video/graphic accelerator is an Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP)
device. AGP is designed to off-load the PCI Bus by allowing graphics data to move
directly from system memory. The 69000 integrates 2MB of high-speed SDRAM frame
buffer memory into the chip.
By embedding SDRAM and graphics controller logic on the same die, the 69000 delivers
uncompromising performance. The increase in the frame buffer bandwidth enables the
69000 to support high-color, high-resolution graphics modes and real-time video acceleration. The interface supports pixel resolutions up to 1600 x 1200 non-interlaced.
Software drivers for enhanced performance and resolution are available for most popular
operating systems.

The system hardware monitoring system monitors system voltages, temperature and fan
speeds.
MONITOR
The circuitry is based on National Semiconductor's LM80. The LM80 monitors seven
system voltages, two fan speeds and the board ambient temperature. All of the voltages,
fan speeds and temperature measurements have associated programmable watchdog
limits. When any of these programmed limits are exceeded, the monitor software can be
used to notify the SBC. In addition, the externally available OS# signal can be used to
notify external hardware of any over-temperature condition.
Fan speed monitoring can be configured to monitor two system fans.
Chassis Plans1-9
SpecificationsCBI/CGI Technical Reference
The LM80 also monitors an external chassis intrusion switch via the system hardware
monitor connector (P18).
A general purpose output (GPO) is also provided at the system hardware monitor
connector. This signal can be used to provide a user-defined function.
The following system voltages are monitored by the LM80:
•-12 volts
•3.3 volts provided by the on-board voltage regulator for components on the
SBC
•3.3 volts backplane power used by the option slots
•+5 volts

The PCI Ethernet interface is implemented using an Intel 82559 and operates in
10Base-T and 100Base-TX Fast Ethernet modes. The interface is compliant with
IEEE 802.3 and PCI Local Bus 2.1 Specifications.
The main components of the interface are:
•Intel 82559 for 10/100-Mb/s media access control (MAC) with SYM, a
serial ROM port and a PCI Bus Master interface
•Serial ROM for storing the Ethernet address and the interface configuration
and control data
•Integrated RJ-45/Magnetics module connector on the SBC's I/O bracket for
direct connection to the network. The connector requires a category 5
(CAT5) unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) 2-pair cable for a 100-Mb/s network
connection or a category 3 (CAT3) or higher UTP 2-pair cable for a 10-Mb/s
network connection.
•Link status and activity LEDs on the I/O bracket for status indication (See
Ethernet LEDs and Connector later in this section.)
Software drivers are supplied for most popular operating systems.
The SCSI interface is a PCI Bus Master device which supports Ultra Wide SCSI data
transfer up to 40MB per second and bursts data to the host at full PCI speeds. Active
termination is provided with terminator voltage protected by self-resetting fuses. A
jumper is provided to disable the termination. The SCSI controller is an Adaptec
AIC-7880. Software drivers are available for most popular operating systems.

ATCHDOG TIMERThe watchdog timer is a hardware timer which resets the SBC if the timer is not
refreshed by software periodically. The timer is typically used to restart a system in
which an application becomes hung on an external event. When the application is hung,
it no longer refreshes the timer. The watchdog timer then times out and resets the SBC.
P
OWER FAIL
DETECTION
The watchdog timer has two levels of enable. First, the watchdog timer jumper must be
moved to the "enabled" position, which puts the watchdog timer under software control.
The second level involves software control of the watchdog's timer retriggering. Bit 6 of
the 82371EB GPOREG register at I/O address 437H must be set to a zero (0), which
blocks the triggering clock to the watchdog timer circuit, thus scheduling a hardware
reset in about 1.5 seconds.
To refresh the watchdog timer, the software in the application toggles bit 6 of the
GPOREG register. First the bit must be set to a one (1) to clear the watchdog timer
delay; then it must be set to a zero (0), which schedules a system reset in 1.5 seconds.
Toggling bit 6 of the GPOREG must occur within a period of less than 1.5 seconds to
insure that a system reset is not issued.
A set of watchdog timer software code and sample programs are available from
Technical Support.
A hardware reset is issued when on-board +5V voltage drops below 4.75 volts. In
addition, if the 3.3V Monitor jumper (JU15) is enabled, a reset is issued if 3.3V is below
tolerance. (See the Configuration Jumpers section later in this chapter.)
