Introduction
The SBC-410 is an all-in-one CPU card that supports L2 cache
sizes from 128 KB to 512 KB (32 KB x 8, 64 KB x 8, or 128 KB x
8). This CPU card uses the M1489/M1487 chipsets, which accept
Intel, AMD, Cyrix, or other compatible 486-based CPUs. The SBC-
410 is fully PC/AT compatible, so your software will run without
modifications.
On-board features include two high-speed serial ports (RS-232 and
RS-232/422/485) with 16C550 UARTs, one bi-directional parallel port,
and a floppy drive controller. If program execution is halted by a
program bug or EMI, the board's 15-stage watchdog timer can
automatically reset the CPU or generate an interrupt. This ensures
reliability in unmanned or stand-alone systems.
The SBC-410 is built with two high speed local bus Enhanced IDE
controllers. This controller supports (through ATA PIO) mode 3 and
mode 4 hard disks, which enable data transfer rates of over 11 MB/
second. It connects up to four IDE devices, including large hard disks,
CD-ROM drives, tape backup drives, etc. 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.
TheSBC-410supports 5VEDODRAM.It also provides two 72-pin
SIMM (Single In-line Memory Module) sockets for on-board DRAM.
This gives you the flexibility to configure your system memory from 1
~ 64 MB using the most economical combination of SIMMs.
TheSBC-410 also features power management to minimize power
consumption. It uses CMOS components and complies with the
"GreenFunction" standard.
If you need any additional functions, you can add industry-standard
PC/104 expansion modules. We provide numerous PC/104 modules to
meet your system requirements.

12 SBC-410 User's Manual
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 represen-
tative before you make any changes.
Generally, you simply need a standard cable to make most
connections.
