Introduction - Aaeon PCM-4896 User Manual

The PCM-4896 is an all-in-one multi-media Cyrix MediaGX MMX
(abbreviated as GXm) processor based single board computer
(SBC) with an integrated audio controller, a PCI Flat Panel control-
ler, a PCI 100Base-Tx Ethernet interface, and one PCI expansion
slot. With ture Pentium MMX capability, the PCM-4896 achieves
outstanding performance that surpasses other SBC in its class. In
addition, the onboard SSD interface supports M-systems DiskOn-
Chip 2000 series, memory capacity from 2 MB to 144 MB. 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 CD-ROM
drive.
On-board features include four serial ports (three RS-232, one RS-
232/422/485), one multi-mode parallel (ECP/EPP/SPP) port, connec-
tor for 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 Ultra DMA/33 mode. Up to two
IDE devices can be connected, including large hard disks, CD-
ROM drives, and tape backup drives, etc.
The PCM-4896 also features power management to minimize power
consumption. It complies with the ACPI standard and supports
three types of power saving features: Doze mode, Standby mode,
and Suspend mode. In addition, the board's watchdog timer can
automatically reset the system or generate an interrupt in case the
system stops due to a program bug or EMI.
Highly integrated multi-media SBC
The PCM-4896 is a highly integrated multi-media SBC that com-
bines audio, video, and network functions on a CD-ROM drive size
single computer board. It provides, 16-bit full-duplex, integrated 3D
audio and up to 1024 x 768 resolution @ 64K colors with on-chip
2MB SDRAM display memory. Major onboard devices adopt PCI
technology to achieve outstanding computing performance.
