Introduction
The SBC-670S is an all-in-one, single board Pentium Pro computer
with an on-board, high performance Ultra-wide SCSI interface. It
packs all the functions of an industrial computer on a single, full-sized
card. The SBC-670S is fully PC/AT compatible, thus your software
will run without modifications.
The Ultra-wide SCSI interface speeds up the transfer rate to 40 MB/
sec and is capable of connecting 15 devices. An 8-bit PCI SCSI-II
interface is available as an option.
Other on-board features include a PCI Enhanced IDE interface, two
RS-232 ports with 16C550 UARTs, one bi-directional parallel port
and a floppy controller.
The SBC-670S' PCI Enhanced IDE interface support (through ATA
PIO) mode 3 and mode 4 hard disks, enabling data transfer rates in
excess of 11 MB/sec. Up to four IDE devices can be connected,
including hard disks, CD-ROM drives, tape backup drives and other
IDE devices.
If program execution is halted by a program bug or EMI, the watch-
dog timer will automatically reset the CPU or generate an interrupt.
This ensures reliability in unmanned or standalone systems.
The SBC-670S supports BEDO, EDO DRAM or Fast page DRAM for
system memory. It provides four 72-pin SIMM (Single In Line
Memory Module) sockets in two banks giving you the flexibility to
configure your system from 8 MB to 128 MB in the most economical
way.

Jumpers and connectors
Connectors on the board link it to external devices such as hard
disk drives, a keyboard or floppy drives. In addition, the board has
a number of jumpers that allows you to configure your system to
suit your application. The table below lists the function of each of
the board jumpers and connectors.

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
connections.

Safety precautions
Warning! Always completely disconnect the power cord
from your chassis whenever you are working on
it. Do not make connections while the power is
on, sensitive electronic components can be
damaged by the sudden rush of power. Only
experienced electronics personnel should open
the PC chassis.
Caution! Always ground yourself to remove any static
charge before touching the CPU card. Modern
electronic devices are very sensitive to static
electric charges. Use a grounding wrist strap at
all times. Place all electronic components on a
static-dissipative surface or in a static-shielded
bag when they are not in the chassis.
