General Information
The HS-4600 is a Little Board size Embedded Intel® Pentium®II/III Industrial
Single Board (I.S.B.) The board design combine together with all necessary input
and output effects interfaces which makes it an ideal all-in-one industrial single
board computer. The board design with 100 MHz internal bus clock rate
architecture.
With the PCI-bus slot for provides to a PCI add-on card where necessary. One set
of PC/104-bus connector for industrial PC/104 board add-in. For GPS system
application, the board provides a 2x10 pin-field internal I/O connector for easy
add-in Rockwell’s "Jupiter"Global Positioning System (GPS) Receiver. The board
also design with an ESS®Solo-1 3D sound interface which provides an ideas
sound adapter in any sound application. The IDE interface with DMA33 access of
mode 4 to IDE drive interface architecture, supports with maximum 33.3 MB/sec
in data transferrating to 4 pieces IDE drive connection. The board also provides a
on-board 10/100-based LAN for easy network connection.
A single Flash chip holds the system BIOS, and you can change the Flash BIOS
by the Utility Update. Advanced IR port also provide a faster data transmission.
You can also use the DOS version of the "DiskOnChip" socket by issuing
commands from theDOS prompt without the necessityof other software supports
up to 144MB.
The board design with INTEL®69000 VGA provides internal connections to VGA
Monitor or LCD Panel. The VGA supports up to 1280x1024 256 colors resolution.
The HS-4600 support SDRAM memory with two pcs DIMM sockets. This gives
you the flexibility of configuring your system from 64 to 512 MB SDRAM by using
DIMM memory modules for its on board system SDRAM.
If a non-expect program cause halts, the on board Watch-Dog Timer (WDT) will
automatically reset the CPU or generate an interrupt. The WDT is designed with
pure hardware and doesn’t need any arithmetical functions of a real-time clock
chip. This ensures the reliability in an unmanned or standalone system.

2.6 Jumper Setting Description
A jumper pin-set is ON as a shorted circuit with a plastic cap inserted
over two pins. A jumper pin-set is OFF as a open circuit with a plastic cap
inserted over one or no pin(s) between pins. The below figure 2.2 shows
the examples of different jumper pin-set setting as ON or OFF in this
manual.
Figure 2.2
All jumper pin-set already has its default setting with the plastic cap
inserted as ON, or without the plastic cap inserted as OFF. The default
setting may reference in this manual with a " * " symbol in front of the
selected item.

colors resolution. The board provides to user in auto disable VGA if
display card plug in into the PCI-slot.
2.8 DiskOnChipAddress Setting
The HS-4600 provides a U11 socket for install the DiskOnChip
module.
A JP18(1-4) may select the starting memory address of the
DiskOnChip(D.O.C.) for avoid the mapping area with any other
memory devices. If you have another extra memory devices in the
system, please setting both at different memory address mapping.

The D.O.C. may formatting as driver C: or driver A:. User may also easily
uses the DOS's commands such as FORMAT, SYS, COPY, XCOPY,
DISCOPY and DISKCOMP etc. This is means that the D.O.C. may uses
as driver-A if the system without FDD-A for ambient application. Please
contact with your supplier for different size D.O.C. module.

2.10 Watch-Dog Timer
There are three access cycles of Watch-Dog Timer as Enable, Refresh and
Disable. The Enable cycle should proceed by READ PORT 443H. The
Disable cycle should proceed by READ PORT 043H. A continue Enable
cycle after a first Enable cycle means Refresh.
Once if the Enable cycle activity, a Refresh cycle is request before the
time-out period for restart counting the WDT Timer's period. Otherwise, it
will assume that the program operation is abnormal when the time counting
over the period preset of WDT Timer. A System Reset signal to start again
or a NMI cycle to the CPU comes if over.
The JP8 is using for select the active function of watch-dog timer in disable
the watch-dog timer, or presetting the watch-dog timer activity at the reset
trigger, or presetting the watch-dog timer activity at the NMI trigger.

The watch-dog timer is disabled after the system Power-On. The
watch-dog timer can be enabled by a Enable cycle with reading the
control port (443H), a Refresh cycle with reading the control port (443H)
and a Disable cycle by reading the Watch-dog timer disable control port
(043H). After a Enable cycle of WDT, user must constantly proceed a
Refresh cycle to WDT before

its period setting comes ending of every1, 2, 10, 20, 110 or 220 seconds
( Please reference to the selection table of JP8 for WDT Time-Out period
setting ). If the Refresh cycle does not
active before WDT period cycle, the on board WDT architecture will
issue a Reset or NMI cycle to the system.
The Watch-Dog Timer is controlled by two I/O ports.
443H I/O Read The Enable cycle.
443H I/O Read The Refresh cycle.
043H I/O Read The Disable cycle.
