Integrated circuits on computer boards are sensitive to static electricity.
To avoid damaging chips from electrostatic discharge, observe the
following precautions:
 Do not remove boards or integrated circuits from their anti-static
packaging until you are ready to install them.
 Before handling a board or integrated circuit, touch an unpainted portion
of the system unit chassis for a few seconds. This helps to discharge any
static electricity on your body.
 Wear a wrist-grounding strap, available from most electronic component
stores, when handling boards and components. Fasten the ALLIGATOR
clip of the strap to the end of the shielded wire lead from a grounded
object. Please wear and connect the strap before handle the HS-4600 to
ensure harmlessly discharge any static electricity through the strap.
 Please use an anti-static pad when putting down any components or
parts or tools outside the computer. You may also use an anti-static bag
instead of the pad. Please inquire from your local supplier for additional
assistance in finding the necessary anti-static gadgets.
NOTE: DO NOT TOUCH THE BOARD OR ANY OTHER SENSITIVE
COMPONENTS WITHOUT ALL NECESSARY ANTI-STATIC
PROTECTION.

Chapter 1
General Description
The HS-4600 is an embedded little board that features support for
Intel® Pentium®II/III microprocessors. The board design combines
together all necessary input and output factors that make it an ideal
all-in-one industrial single board computer. Its 100MHz FSB
architecture accommodates microprocessors of up to 133MHz FSB. A
special feature bundled with the HS-4600 is its provision for a GPS
system application. The board provides a 20-pin internal I/O connector
for convenient installation of Rockwell’s "Jupiter" Global Positioning
System (GPS) Receiver.
To meet the sound quality required by most sound applications, its ESS
Solo1 3D sound interface/adapter provides the perfect solution. Its IDE
architecture offers DMA33 access of mode 4 to IDE drives, at
33.3MB/sec data transfer rate on all four IDE drives. For easy network
connection, the HS-4600 has a 10/100 Base TX LAN controller to serve
this need. The HS-4600 also deploys a single Flash chip for the system
BIOS. Modifying the Flash BIOS is possible and implemented via the
Utility Update.

2
Additional onboard connectors include an IrDA port providing a faster
data transmission, a DOS-compatible DiskOnChipsocket with a
maximum capacity of 144MB, a CRT/VGA connector for C&T69000
display controller –compatible CRTs/panels providing up to a maximum of
1280x1024, 256colors resolution, and two DIMM socket up to 512MB. To
ensure the reliability in an unmanned or standalone system, the
Watchdog Timer (WDT) onboard HS-4600 is designed with pure
hardware that does not need the arithmetical functions of a real-time
clock chip. If any program causes unexpected halts to the system, the
onboard Watchdog Timer (WDT) will automatically reset the CPU or
generate an interrupt to resolve such condition.

Unpacking
This chapter explains unpacking the board, checking the equipment
and documentation and where to go from there.
2.1 Opening the Delivery Package
The HS-4600 is packed in an anti-static bag. The board has
components that are easily damaged by static electricity. Do not
remove the anti-static wrapping until proper precautions have been
taken. Safety Instructions in front of this manual describe anti-static
precautions and procedures.
2.2 Inspection
After unpacking the board, place it on a raised surface and carefully
inspect the board for any damage that might have occurred during
shipment. Ground the board and exercise extreme care to prevent
damage to the board from static electricity.
Integrated circuits will sometimes come out of their sockets during
shipment. Examine all integrated circuits, particularly the BIOS,
processor, memory modules, ROM-Disk, and keyboard controller chip
to ensure that they are firmly seated. The HS-4600 delivery package
contains the following items:
 HS-4600 Industrial Single Board Computer
 One Printer port Flat Cable

3.5 DiskOnChipAddress Setting
The DiskOnChipfunction allows the system to boot or operate
without a FDD or a HDD. DiskOnChipmodules may be formatted as
drive C or A. With DiskOnChip, user may also execute DOS
commands such as FORMAT, SYS, COPY, XCOPY, DISCOPY and
DISKCOMP etc.
The U11 location onboard the HS-4600 is the DiskOnChipmodule
socket. Jumper JP18 assigns the address setting of the installed
module. Setting the 4 pins of JP18 allows you to select the starting
memory address of the DiskOnChip(D.O.C.). If you have additional
memory devices in the system, please set both at different memory
address mapping to avoid the mapping area conflicts.

Short1-2 D000 (default)
Short 3-4 D800
3.6 Configuring the CPU
The HS-4600 offers the convenience in CPU installation with its
auto-detect feature. After installing a new microprocessor onboard, the
HS-4600 automatically identifies the frequency and clock speed of the
installed microprocessor chip, thereby eliminating the need for user to
do additional CPU configuration or hardware settings related to it.

14
3.7 Watchdog Timer
There are three access cycles of Watch-Dog Timer as Enable, Refresh
and Disable are the three access cycles of Watchdog Timer. The
Enable cycle proceeds via READ PORT 443H whereas the Disable
cycle proceeds via READ PORT 043H. A continued Enable cycle after
a first Enable cycle means Refresh.
Once the Enable cycle is active, a Refresh cycle is requested before
the time-out period. This restarts counting of the WDT period. When the
time counting goes over the period preset of WDT, it will assume that
the program operation is abnormal. A System Reset signal to re-start or
a NMI cycle to the CPU transpires when such error happens. Jumper
JP8 is used to select the active function of Watchdog Timer.

The Watchdog Timer is disabled after the system Power-On. It can be
enabled via an Enable cycle and reading the control port (443H), or via
a Refresh cycle and reading the control port (443H), or via a Disable
cycle and reading the disable control port (043H).
