Page 25: Installing Simms
The SBC-410 CPU card provides two 72-pin SIMM (Single In- line Memory Module) sockets and supports between 1 MB to 64 MB of RAM. When installing SIMMs, make sure that Bank 1 is filled first. Note that the modules can only fit into a socket one way.
Page 26 The SBC-410 features a 2nd level memory cache that supports 128, 256, or 512 KB of cache memory. Higher cache memory can improve your system's performance. The cache uses SRAM chips in three sizes: 32 KB, 64 KB and 128 KB. The on-board cache memory banks consists of four SRAM chip sockets, each of which accepts one "Tag"...
Page 27 You can attach up to four Enhanced Integrated Device Electronics hard disk drives to the SBC-410's internal controllers. The card comes with a 40-pin and a 44-pin flat-cable piggyback cables. The 40-pin flat-cable has three identical 40-pin connectors. Wire number 1 on the cable is red or blue, and the other wires are gray.

Page 30 You can attach up to two floppy disks to the SBC-410's on-board controller. You can use any combination of 5.25" (360 KB and 1.2 MB) and/or 3.5" (720 KB, 1.44 MB, and 2.88 MB) drives. The SBC-410 CPU card comes with a 34-pin daisy-chain drive connector cable.
Page 31 Normally, the parallel port is used to connect the card to a printer. The SBC-410 includes an on-board parallel port, which is accessed through a 26-pin flat-cable connector. The CPU card comes with an adapter cable, which lets you use a tradition- al DB-25 connector.
Page 32 In single-board-computer (non-passive-backplane) applications you will need to connect power directly to the SBC-410 board using POWER CON. This connector is fully compatible with the standard PC power supply connector. See the following table for its pin assignments: Function N.C.
Page 33 The SBC-410 board provides two keyboard connectors. A 5-pin connector supports passive backplane applications. A second 6- pin mini-DIN connector on the card mounting bracket supports single-board-computer applications. The card comes with an adapter to convert the 6-pin mini-DIN connector, used for the mouse, and the standard AT keyboard connector.
Page 34: Serial Ports
The SBC-410 offers two serial ports: one RS-232 and one RS- 232/422/485. Using the BIOS Peripheral Setup program, you can select the address for each port or disable it. The card mounting bracket has two serial port connectors. The DB-9 connector on the top of the bracket is COMA, the RS-232 serial port.
