Introduction
TheSBC-411/411Eis an all-in-one single board 486 computer with an on-
boardPCIEthernetinterface(SBC-411E). Itpacks all the functions of an
industrial computer and its display capabilities into a single, half-size card.
This means the SBC-411/411E is your absolute best solution for embedded
applications.
The onboard Ethernet Realtek RTL 8029AS PCI bus Ethernet controller
supports remote boot ROM functions (SBC-411E only).
TheSBC-411/411EsupportstheM-Systems DiskOnChip 2000 (optional)
which is a new generation of high performance single-chip Flash Disk. It
provides a Flash Disk (as a BIOS expansion) which doesn't require any
bus, slots, or connectors. It is also the optimal solution for Single Board
Computers because of its small size, easy integration, plug-and-play
functionality, and its low power consumption. The DiskOnChip is
available in capacities from 2MB to 72MB and fits in a standard 32-pin DIP
socket.
Another feature of the SBC-411/411E is the inclusion of a high speed, local
bus IDE controller. This controller supports (through ATA PIO) mode 3
and mode 4 hard disks, enabling data transfer rates in excess of 11 MB/
second. Up to four IDE devices can be connected, including large hard
disks, CD-ROM drives, tape backup drives, or other IDE devices. The
built-in, enhanced IDE controller provides a 4-layer, 32-bit, posted write
buffer and a 4-layer, 32-bit read-prefetch buffer to boost IDE performance.
Onboard features include two high speed RS-232 serial ports, one bidirec-
tional SPP/EPP/ECP parallel port and a floppy drive controller. In addition
to the 486's 16 KB of on-chip cache memory, the SBC-411/411E includes an
extra128 KB of L2 onboard cache memory.
If program execution is halted by a program bug or EMI, the board's
watchdog timer can automatically reset the CPU or generate an interrupt.
This ensures reliability in unmanned or standalone systems.

Chapter 1 General Information 3
All configuration display and Ethernet (SBC-411E) is done through
software. A single Flash chip holds the system BIOS, VGA BIOS. This
minimizes the number of chip and eases configuration. You can
change the display BIOS or install a boot ROM simply by program-
ming the Flash chip.
TheSBC-411/411E supports5V EDODRAM.It also providesone 72-
pin SIMM (Single In-line Memory Module) sockets for its onboard
system DRAM. These sockets give you the flexibility to configure
your system from 4 MB to 32 MB of DRAM using the most economi-
cal combination of SIMMs.

Setting jumpers
You configure your card to match the needs of your application by
setting jumpers. A jumper is the simplest kind of electric switch. It
consists of two metal pins and a small metal clip (often protected
by a plastic cover) that slides over the pins to connect them. To
"close" a jumper you connect the pins with the clip. To "open" a
jumper you remove the clip. Sometimes a jumper will have three
pins, labeled 1, 2, and 3. In this case you would connect either pins
1 and 2 or 2 and 3.
The jumper settings are schematically depicted in this manual as
follows:
A pair of needle-nose pliers may be helpful when working with
jumpers.
If you have any doubts about the best hardware configuration for
your application, contact your local distributor or sales representa-
tive before you make any changes.
Generally, you simply need a standard cable to make most connec-
tions.

Installing DRAM (SIMMs)
TheSBC-411/411E CPU card provides one 72-pin SIMM(Single In-
line Memory Module) socket and supports between 4 MB to 32
MBofRAM.
Installing SIMM
Note: that the modules can only fit into a socket one way.
1. Insert the memory module into the socket at a moderate angle.
2. Push the module toward the vertical posts at both ends of the
socket until the module is upright, and the retaining clips at
both ends of the module click into place. When positioned
correctly, the pins on top of the vertical posts should corre-
spond to the circular holes on the ends of the module.
Removing SIMM
If you need to remove a SIMM, follow the procedures below:
1. Supporting the SIMM with a finger, use a pen or a similarly
shaped object and press one retaining clip straight down.
2. Repeat for the other side. When released, the retaining clips will
push the SIMM up and out of its upright position.
3. Carefully pull the SIMM out of the socket with your fingers.
