Description
The P/I-P3BVL is a Pentium III Industrial single board computer (SBC)
card based on Intel's 440BX chipset and is fully designed for harsh
industrial environment. It features a PPGA Socket370 that is
compatible with low-profile Intel PPGA package Celeron processors as
well as Intel FC-PGA package Pentium III processor. This card
accommodates up to 384MB of un-registered SDRAMs or 768MB of
registered SDRAM configurations.
The P/I-P3BVL is a high integration design. Intel newest 82559
Fast Ethernet Controller and ATI 3D RageXL 2X AGP VGA controller
are integrated into the system. The high-integration design prevents the
system compatibility issues and increases the PCI add-on cards
scalability. This makes P/I-P3BVL an ideal SBC card for CTI, ISP
servers, workstations, automation as well as other industrial
applications.
The P/I-P3BVL comes with Winbond's W83782 hardware
monitoring device that monitors system and CPU temperature, system
voltages, and CPU fan speeds to prevent system crashes by warning the
user of adverted conditions. The power management feature provides
power savings by slowing down the CPU clock, turning off the monitor
screen and stopping the HDD spindle motor.

CPU Installation
The P/I-P3BVL Industrial SBC Card provides a 370-pins ZIF socket
for Celeron and Pentium II/III-processors with PPGA (Plastic Pin
Grid Array) package.
Before installing the processor into the Socket, ensure that the CPU
fan is installed first. Without a fan circulating air on the CPU, the
CPU can overheat and cause damage to both CPU and SBC card.
To Install a CPU, first turn off your system and remove its cover.
Locate the ZIP socket and open it by first pulling the lever sideways
away from the socket then upwards to a 90-degree right angle.
Insert the CPU with the correct orientation. Use the notched corner of
the CPU with the white dot as your guide. The white dot should point
towards the end of the lever. Notice that there is a blank area where
one hole is missing from that corner of the square array of pin holds.
Because the CPU has a corner pin for three of the four corners, the
CPU will only fit in one orientation. With the added weight of the
CPU fan, no force is required to insert the CPU. Once completely
inserted, hold down on the fan and close the socket lever.
To disassembly the processor, simply pull the lever sideways away
from the socket then upward to a 90-degree right angle. You can take
the CPU out from the socket without help of any tool.
WARNING!: If no FAN circulating Air on the CPU, the processor
might been overheated and damage both CPU and SBC components.
IMPORTANT: You must set jumpers for "CPU to BUS Frequency
Ratio" and jumper for "CPU FSB speed" depending on the CPU that
you install.

Memory Installation
The P/I-P3BVL Industrial CPU Card supports three 168-pin DIMM
sockets for a maximum total memory of 384MB unregistered
SDRAMs or 768MB registered SDRAMs. The memory modules can
come in sizes of 16MB, 32MB, 64MB, 128MB and 256MB (for
registered type) SDRAMs.
The P/I-P3BVL Industrial CPU Card supports three 168-pin DIMM
(Dual In-line Memory Module) sockets. In populating the DIMM
sockets, DIMM1 and/or DIMM3 bank should be populated first for
less signal reflection. However, we do not see any issue while
populate DIMM2 only. Refer to the following table on how to
configure the memory.
NOTE: Use SDRAM modules with PC100 specification when
running 100MHz CPU bus speed. With 66MHz CPU bus speed,
SDRAM modules with PC66 or PC100 specification can be used.
