Chapter 1 General Information

1.1 Introduction

The PCI-6886 series is a half-sized PCI bus CPU card designed with powerful Intel Celeron M processor, with Intel 852GM and 6300ESB chipset, which supports enhanced Intel "SpeedStep" technology and Dynamic Video Memory Technology. For maximum performance, PCI- 6886 also supports two 200PIN SODIMM socket that Non-ECC DDR memory up to 2GB. These chipsets are specifically for embedded com- puting and provide an optimized on-board integrated graphics solution. "SpeedStep" technology intelligently focuses system power where the CPU needs it and automatically regulates power usage to preserve battery life.

Other on-board features include 2 EIDEs, 2 SATAs, 1 FDD, 1 LPT, 4 USB2.0s, 4 serial ports(3 x RS-232 and 1 x RS-232/422/485), PS/2 Key- Board/mouse, watchdog, and a DIO interface. The SSD solution supports Type I/II CompactFlash cards.

This product uses a Intel 852GM supports VGA/LVDS interface, 2 channel (36-bit) LVDS LCD panel . PCI-6886 supports AC97 audio with the addition of the optional PCM-231A-00A1 audio module.

The Ethernet interface supports 10/100M Base-T by Intel 82551ER(82551QM optional), and 1000M Base-T by Intel 82540EM (PCI-6886FG-M0A1).Its dimension is follow standard PCI slot PC, this make it can match with all half-sized chasis and can operate in high vibra- tion environment.
