Advantech 2006957006 5th Edition user manual Introduction, Highly integrated Socket 370 SBC

1.1 Introduction

The PCM-9570/S is an all-in-one Celeron™ /Pentium® III level single board computer (SBC) with an Ultra2 SCSI controller (PCM-9570S), a 2x AGP LCD controller, a PCI Fast Ethernet interface and one PCI expansion slot. With the Intel CeleronTM processor, the PCM-9570/S achieves outstanding performance that surpasses any other SBC in its class. This compact unit is only 203 x 146 mm (8" x 5.75"). It 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 four serial ports (three RS-232, one RS-232/422/485), one multi-mode parallel (ECP/EPP/SPP) port, two USB (Universal Serial Bus) ports, one infrared port (SIR), one CompactFlash socket for CFC, a floppy drive controller, and a keyboard/PS/2 mouse interface. The built-in high-speed PCI IDE controller supports PIO, UDMA/33 and bus master modes. Up to two IDE devices can be connected, including large hard disks, CD-ROM drives and tape backup drives.

The PCM-9570/S 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 in case the system stops due to a program bug or EMI.

The PCM-9570/S has been certified as complying with FCC Class A and CE Marking Class A.

Highly integrated Socket 370 SBC

The PCM-9570/S is a highly integrated SBC that combines Ultra2 SCSI, PanelLink, and network functions on a single computer board the size of a 5.25" floppy drive. Major on-board devices adopt PCI technology to achieve outstanding computing performance when used with Intel® CeleronTM/Pentium® III processors, making the PCM-9570/S the world's smallest and most powerful all-in-one Socket 370 board.
