Chapter 2 Installations CPU Installation The P/I-P3BVL Industrial SBC Card provides a 370-pins ZIF socket for Celeron and Pentium II/III-processors with PPGA (Plastic Pin Grid Array) package. Before installing the processor into the Socket, ensure that the CPU fan is installed first. Without a fan circulating air on the CPU, the CPU can overheat and cause damage to both CPU and SBC card.
Chapter 2 Installations Memory Installation The P/I-P3BVL Industrial CPU Card supports three 168-pin DIMM sockets for a maximum total memory of 384MB unregistered SDRAMs or 768MB registered SDRAMs. The memory modules can come in sizes of 16MB, 32MB, 64MB, 128MB and 256MB (for registered type) SDRAMs.
Chapter 2 Installations Jumpers on the P/I-P3BVL The jumpers on the P/I-P3BVL allows you to configure your SBC card according to the needs of your applications. If you have doubts about the best jumper configuration for your needs, contact your dealer or sales representative.
This 2-pin Jumper is to inform the SBC what kind of power supply is being used for the system. The option can be ATX power or PS2/AT power. Setting Function Open/OFF Use ATX Power (when Cable connectted) Short/ON Use PS2/AT Power Supply (Default) P/I-P3BVL User's Manual...
