Introduction - Advantech PCM-9550F User Manual

1.1 Introduction

The PCM-9550F/FM/L is an Intel low-power Pentium
266 MHz processor single board computer (SBC) with audio
controller, a PCI SVGA controller, a PCI 10/100Base-T Ethernet
interface, and one PC/104-Plus expansion connector. The PCM-
9550F/FM/L's design is based on the EBX form factor that
provides support for PC/104 and PC/104-Plus module expansion.
The EBX form factor also provides a convenient connector layout
for easy assembly, more efficient cable connections and better
overall embedded system integration. When using an Intel
®
Pentium MMX processor, the PCM-9550F/FM/L achieves
outstanding performance that surpasses most SBCs in its class.
This compact (only 5.75" x 8") unit offers all the functions of a
single board industrial computer, but still fits in the space of a
5.25" floppy drive.
On-board features include 512 KB 2nd level cache, four serial ports
(three RS-232, one RS-232/422/485), two multi-mode parallel (ECP/
EPP/SPP) port, two USB (Universal Serial Bus) ports, a floppy
drive controller, and a keyboard/PS/2 mouse interface. The built-in
high-speed PCI IDE controller supports both PIO and UDMA/33
bus master modes. Up to two IDE devices can be connected,
including large hard disks, CD-ROM drives, and tape backup
drives.
The PCM-9550F/FM/L features power management to minimize
power consumption. It complies with the "Green Function"
standard and supports Doze, Standby and Suspend modes. In
addition, the board's watchdog timer can automatically reset the
system or generate an interrupt if the system stops due to a
program bug or EMI.
Highly integrated multimedia SBC
The PCM-9550F/FM/L is a highly integrated multimedia SBC that
combines audio, video, and network functions on a single
computer board the size of a 5.25" floppy drive. It provides 16-bit
half-duplex, 8-bit full-duplex, integrated 3D audio, and up to
