The all-in-one SBC-780 single board computer series is designed for
embedded applications where full features and performance are
major concerns. The various CPU options support Intel Pentium III,
Celeron (up to Tualatin 1.4GHz) and VIA C3 processors (up to
1.1GHz), SBC-780 series brings with its significant gains in
performance. SBC-780 series is powered by with the VIA Twister-T
system chipset.
An integrated AGP 4X 2D/3D graphics accelerator is also provided.
With Dual channel LVDS interface, the SBC-780 series supports
TFT-DSTN LCD displays and CRT monitor simultaneously. It also
provides up to 1600x1200 resolution for CRT and 1024x768
resolution for LCD with UMA 32MB display memory.
Excellent connectivity is provided by embedded 10/100Mbps Fast
Ethernet connection. Two DIMM slots for a total of 1GB RAM
memory ensures that users have more than enough memory to
handle leading applications. Moreover, one CompactFlashTM Type II
slot is supported as external storage. The SBC-780 series is fully
functional, offering comprehensive I/O support, including 4 USB
ports for connecting the latest peripherals. The SBC-780 series is
equipped with the range of legacy ports, including a parallel port, an

2.1 Safety Precautions
Always completely disconnect the power cord from
your board whenever you are working on it. Do not
make connections while the power is on, because a
sudden rush of power can damage sensitive
electronic components.
Always ground yourself to remove any static charge
before touching the board. 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
