Introduction
ThecPCI-8586is a Pentium base high performance and accurate 3U form
factor CompactPCI standard single board computer. It’s sited on
100.00mm by 160.00mm space, 20.32mm(0.8 inch) thickness with a
2mm-pitch HM (IEC-1076) compatible connector for interfacing the
CompactPCIbackplane.It’sdesignedtoprovideasystemoptimizedforall
ofruggedapplicationsby8HPthicknesswithharddiskdriver or12HP with
both of hard disk and floppy disk drivers as an option.
ThecPCI-8586supportsIntelPentiumMMXprocessorupto 266 MHz or it’s
compatible with eliminating of heat in whole system operating, its system
memorycansupportupto128MB(bysingleSODIMMsocket)or256MBas
maximum when dual SO DIMM is equipped. The 512KB pipeline burst
cache is also equipped to generate great computing power. And SMC
37C669 I/O integrates the features of floppy controller, two serial and one
parallel interfaces with one selectable RS-232/RS-422/RS-485 serial
interface, this allows system for longer distance communication. A 32 pin
DIP flash disk socket is equipped for DiskOnChip expansion, this socket
supports from 2 MB up to 72 MB capacity, it will allow system to work
independent from hard disk or floppy disk drives.
The cPCI-8586 single board computer unit provides an aluminum front
plate consistent with Eurocard packaging for front I/O accesses, one
ejector handles is available for convenience of installation and removal of
the unit from system.
The cPCI-8586 complies with the newly CompactPCI industry standard
which is approvedby the PICMG (PCI Industrial Computer Manufacturers
Group) and is an adaptation of PCI specification for industrial and/or
