2PCM-9576F User's Manual
1.1 Introduction
The PCM-9576F is an all-in-one Celeron™/Pentium®III level single
board computer (SBC) with triple Ethernet interfaces, 2 COM, 3 GPIO
and one PCI expansion slot. The PCM-9576F supports Pentium III
processors up to 850 MHz. It has optional 3D VGA/LCD function as
well as an additional 2 COM ports. This compact unit is only 203 x 146
mm (8" x 5.75"). It offers all the functions of a single board industrial
computer, but still fits in the space of a 5.25" CD ROM drive.
On-board features include two serial ports, one multi-mode parallel
(ECP/EPP/SPP) port, two USB (Universal Serial Bus) ports, one
infrared port (SIR), one CompactFlash socket for CFC, a floppy drive
controller, and a keyboard/PS/2 mouse interface. The built-in high-
speed PCI IDE controller supports PIO, UDMA/33 and bus master
modes. Up to two IDE devices can be connected, including large hard
disks, CD-ROM drives and tape backup drives.
The PCM-9576F features power management to minimize power
consumption. It complies with the “Green Function” standard and
supports doze, standby and suspend modes. In addition, the board’s
watchdog timer can automatically reset the system or generate an
interrupt in case the system stops due to a program bug or EMI.
The PCM-9576F has been certified as complying with FCC Class A
and CE Marking Class A.
Triple Ethernet for Communication Appliances
The PCM-9576F supports 3 Ethernet interfaces designed for the
Communication Market. It can be used for firewall and VPN
applications. A PCI slot is available so the customer can add a fourth
ethernet or use a VPN & security PCI card.
