Introduction
The SBC-596/599 is a full-size CPU card. This card uses a
Pentium processor based CPU and accommodates up to 256
MB DRAM. It also provides a secondary level 512 KB cache, 2
USB(Universal Serial Bus) ports and 63-level watchdog timer with
jumperless setup.
The SBC-596/599 offers power management features to
minimizepower consumption. It complieswiththe “Green
Function” standard and supports three power saving features:
doze, sleep, and suspended mode.
The SBC-599 provides a PCI Ultra Wide SCSI controller with
max data transfer rate at 40 MB/sec. In addition, the SBC-599 is
equipped with a ISA high drive at 64 mA, a C&T 65550 chipset
and a 10Base-T networking controller, which makes the SBC-
599 a highly reliable CPU card perfect for IPC applications or
computer telephony integration application.
