1.1 Introduction

The EM-9560 is an embedded SBC offering multi-I/O flexibility and full multi-media functionality support. It
also supports onboard system memory, versatile interfaces, storages and PC/104&PC/104+ expansion
slots to fulfill the needs from different industry applications. Complying with the industry standard form
factor – EBX (5.75" x 8" inches), user can minimize the system conflicts and configuration problems.
EM-9560 offers two computing power options: Intel Celeron Ultra Low Voltage 400MHz and 650MHz. Intel
Celeron Ultra Low Voltage 400MHz is designed especially for fan-less requirement to enable better MTBF.
As an x86 architecture, the platform supports prevail operating systems such as Windows
95/98SE/XP/2000/NT and Linux. Your previous investment on these operating systems is, thus, protected in
the future.
VIA Twister-T chipset is the mid-end position of VIA chipsets. It supports 2D/3D Video Accelerator by
integrating S3 Savage4. It also supports 36-bit TFT LCD and 2 channel (2 x 18-bit) LVDS. EM-9560 is able
to compatible with the most coming bigger size industrial and commercial LCDs. By enabling VRAM, the
system can further cut its cost and while maintains its speed. EM-9560 uses onboard 128MB SDRAM and
one SODIMM to limit its board height and supports PC 133/PC 100.
There are three storage options in EM-9560 design. One is EIDE, and one is DOC socket and the other is
CF type II. EIDE supports two IDE devices. EM-9560 offers 2 IDE box header options to fulfill flexible hard
disk placement in system design. 40-pin box header focuses on 3.5" hard disk, 44-pin box header mainly
couples itself with 2.5" hard disk. DOC socket can support M-System DiskOnModule flash memory module.
Regarding to CF II socket, system can further cut its whole size when using popular large volume CF II form
factor SSD.
EM-9560 embodies the following I/O: 1 x 10/100Mbps LAN, 1 x FDD, 4 x COM, 1 x LPT, Keyboard & Mouse,
4 x USB 2.0, 1 x IrDA and 8 x DIO. Expansion slots include PC/104 and PC/104+. Power supply complies
with AT and ATX. Watchdog timer is 256-level.
As an industrial PC embedded card, EM-9560's operating temperature is ranging from 0°C to 60°C. All
these numerous features provide an ideal price/performance solution for commercial and industrial
applications where stability and reliability are essential.
