1.1

Introduction

The new EM-561 Series embedded SBC is highly configurable with multiple features to suit
different types of commercial and industrial needs. Three Ethernet capability of the EM-561 Series
gives network administrators another tool to deal with today's changing application needs. The
board comes with the top-of-the-line Intel 82559 LAN chips could act as a firewall that sits
between the Internet and a company's internal network. This applies to Web (HTTP) servers, FTP
servers, SMTP (E-mail) servers or DNS servers. The EM-561 can also be used as an inter-network
gateway that connects a number of local networks. Once again, the three Ethernet capability and
processing power of the EM-561 Series gives it the ability to perform these functions.
The new EM-561 Series is enhanced with IntelÒ815E chipset; one 168-DIMM socket support up
to 100/133 MHz SDRAM and one DiskOnChip from M-System socket support up to 288MB flash
memory disk which provide full functionality and performance to be used "exactly" where you
need it as well. EM-561 also features high performance VGA display that support resolutions and
color depths up to 1600x1200 x256 color at 85Hz.
EM-561 has many expansion function such as one PCI expansion connector with one PCI riser
card; one FDD interface support up to two floppy devices ; two IDE ports that support up to four
IDE devices and Ultra ATA/100/66/33 interface helps designers and integrators improve system
performance by retrieving and sending data faster. Everything you could need is on-board.
In addition, it is equipped with two RS-232 serial ports; four USB ports; one multi-mode parallel
port which supports SPP, ECP and EPP modes. It provides more flexible functions to satisfy all
users' different application requirements.
The EM-561 also offers several industrial features such as a 16 -level watchdog time-out intervals
and contains the health monitoring hardware. The health monitoring IC keeps an eye on the
CPU and releases an audio alarm when detecting abnormal operating voltage & temperature or
malfunction of the cooling fans. And with its industrial grade reliability, the EM-561 can operate
continuously at temperatures up to 60° C (140° F). All these numerous features provide an ideal
price/performance solution for commercial and industrial applications where stability and reliability
are essential.
