CHAPTER
Chapter 1 General Information 1
Introduction
The SBC-776 is an all-in-one Single Board Computer (SBC) capable
of handling the Intel Celeron 300~766MHz (with system bus
frequencies of 66MHz) and Pentium III 500~850 MHz (with system
bus frequencies of 100MHz). Reliability , performance, flexibility are
essential qualities for SBC's and SBC-776 offers all of these.
Onboard is the versatile Intel 815E chipset, controlling LAN, LCD,
and AUDIO. The VGA has a display memory size of 4 MB, with
resolutions up to 1024 x 768 at 256K. Ethernet connections can be
easily carried out through two RJ-45 connectors.
This full-sized SBC supports M-Systems DiskOnChip 2000 family
of flash disk products that are small, plug and play, solid state disks
in a standard 32-pin DIP package with capabilities ranging from
8MB to 288MB. There are also three 168-pin DIMM sockets
providing a maximum of 512MB. A compact flash connector is
provided on the solder side of the board.
The additional Advansys ASC38C0800, Ultra II Wide SCSI coordinates up to 15 devices that are simultaneously connected to your
mainboard. Connection with the onboard chipset is made through
a 68-pin SCSI connector.
SBC-776 supports two IDE devices, two floppy disks, four USB
ports, two serial ports that can be configured as COM1, COM2,
COM3 and COM4. The single bidirectional parallel port can
support SPP, ECP and EPP modes. The standard A TX power
connector enables this full-sized SBC to be operated without any
backplane if necessary.

CHAPTER
Installation
This chapter describes how to set up the
main board hardware, including instructions on setting jumpers and connecting
peripherals, switches, and indicators. Be
sure to read all the safety precautions
before you begin the installation procedure.
SBC-776 Chapter 2 9
SBC-776
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.
Removing the CPU
The SBC-776 all-in-one CPU module supports most Pentium III/
Celeron or 586 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.
10 SBC-776 Manual
BC-599/596
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.
SBC-776 Chapter 2 11
SBC-776
Installing DRAM (DIMMs)
System Memory
The SBC-776 contains three sockets for 168-pin dual inline memory
module (DIMM). The socket uses 3.3 V unbuffered synchronous
DRAM (SDRAM). DIMM is available in capacities of 16, 32, 64, 128
or 256 MB. The socket can be filled in the DIMM of any size,
giving your SBC-776 single board computer between 16 and 512
MB of memory.
Supplementary information about DIMM
SBC-776 can accept PC-133 SDRAM DIMM Module(with or
without parity).
Single-sided modules are typically 16 or 64 MB; double-sided
modules are usually 32, 128 or 256 MB.
Memory Installation Procedures
T o install DIMM, first make sure the two handles of the DIMM
socket are in the "open" position. i.e. The handles remain outward.
Slowly slide the DIMM module along the plastic guides on both
ends of the socket. Then press the DIMM module right down into
the socket, until you hear a click. This is when the two handles
have automatically locked the memory module into the correct
position of the DIMM socket. (See Figure below) T o take away the
memory module, just push both handles outward, and the memory
module will be ejected by the mechanism in the socket.
