Chapter 1. Introduction
1.1 Product Overview
The FS-978 SBC (Single Board Computer) is an all-in-one industrial full-size
PICMG (PCI/ISA)-bus CPU card based on Intel Socket 478 Pentium 4
architecture. With Intel 865G chipset, Intel 865G GMCH and ICH5, FS-978
offers the value computing solution including Intel NetBurst micro-architecture,
800/533/400 MHz of FSB, 2 GB DDR SDRAM, Intel Extreme Graphics 2 with
Intel Dynamic Video Memory up to 64 MBytes, One Intel PRO/100+ LAN and
one PRO/1000+ LAN, Hi-Speed USB 2.0 and Compact Flash Type II
interfaces.
Based on the Intel's long term supply chipset in the EIA (Embedded Intel
Architecture) division’s product roadmap, FS-978 should be the ideal solution
for the industrial applied computing platform with high computing capacity,
cost effect and long life cycle. With Intel’s latest technology, the FS-978
should be the leading edge of computing capacity for the advanced industrial
computing platform with the features as below.
Intel Hyper-Threading Technology
The FS-978 supports Intel Hyper-Threading Technology to offer the better
computing capacity for the industrial applied computing application. Based on
Intel's latest technology, "the Intel Pentium 4 Processor with Hyper-Threading
technology allows software programs to "see" two processors and work more
efficiently. Improves performance and system responsiveness in today's
multitasking environments by enabling the processor to execute instruction
threads in parallel."
Powerful Computing Capacity
With Intel’s latest CPU technology, FS-978 supports Intel Socket 478 Pentium
4 CPU up to 3.2 GHz at 800 MHz of FSB and low cost Intel Socket 478
Celeron CPU from 2.0 GHz up to 2.4 GHz at 400 MHz of FSB. The FS-978
also provides two GBytes of DDR266/333/400 of system memory capacity.
Hi-Speed USB 2.0 Interface: Intel ICH5 built-in Hi-Speed USB 2.0 controller
offers the Hi-Speed USB 2.0 interface with up to 480 Mbps of data transfer
bandwidth with the USB bootable setting in the BIOS.
