SYSTEM & MEMORY BUSES
SThe Intel 440BX AGPset supports the system and memory buses
at both 66MHz and 100MHz speeds. The 100MHz system and
memory buses provide a higher bandwidth path for transferring
data between main memory/chip set and the processor.
DMA CHANNELS
SThe SBC is fully PC compatible with seven DMA channels, each
supporting type F transfers.
INTERRUPTS
SThe SBC is fully PC compatible with interrupt steering for PCI
plug and play compatibility.
BIOS (FLASH)
SThe BIOS is a Hi-Flex AMIBIOS with built-in advanced CMOS
setup for system parameters, peripheral management for
configuring on-board peripherals, PCI-to-PCI bridge support and
PCI interrupt steering. The BIOS chip is a boot block Flash
device - 28F002BX-T120. The BIOS may be upgraded from the
floppy disk by pressing <Ctrl> + <Home> immediately after
reset or power-up with the floppy disk in drive A:. Custom BIOS
configurations are available.
CACHE MEMORY
SFor Advanced Transfer Cache Pentium III processors, the
processor includes an integrated on-die, 256K 8-way set
associative level two (L2) cache. The L2 cache implements the
new Advanced Transfer Cache architecture with a 256-bit wide
bus. The processor also includes a 16K level one (L1) instruction
cache and 16K L1 data cache. These cache arrays run at the full
speed of the processor core.

Chapter 1 - Specifications
1-7
IBC 2600 User’s Guide
For Celeron processors, a 128K unified, non-blocking second
level (L2) cache improves performance by reducing the average
memory access time and providing fast access to recently used
instructions and data.
DRAM MEMORY
The DRAM interface consists of two dual in-line memory module (DIMM)
sockets and supports auto detection of memory up to 512MB of Synchro-
nous DRAM (SDRAM). Minimum memory size is 8MB. The System BIOS
automatically detects memory type, size and speed.
The SBC uses industry standard 64-bit or 72-bit wide gold finger DIMM
DRAM in two 168-pin DIMM sockets.
NOTE: Memory can be installed in one or both DIMM sockets. If only one
DIMM module is used, it must be populated in Bank 0 (BK0) if it is a 8MB
or 16MB DIMM module; single DIMMs of all other sizes must be popu-
lated in Bank 1 (BK1). If two modules are used, they must be the same
DIMM type, but may be different sizes (see table below). EDO DIMMs
are not supported. All DIMMs must have gold contacts.
The SBC supports DIMM memory modules which are PC-100 compliant
and have the following features:
S168-pin DIMMs with gold-plated contacts
S100MHz SDRAM
SNon-ECC (64-bit) or ECC (72-bit) memory
S3.3 volt
SSingle or double-sided DIMMs in the sizes listed below
SBuffered or Registered configuration
DIMM
Size DIMM Type Non-ECC ECC
8MB Unbuffered 1M x 64 1M x 72
16MB Unbuffered 2M x 64 2M x 72
32MB Unbuffered 4M x 64 4M x 72
64MB Unbuffered 8M x 64 8M x 72
128MB Unbuffered 16M x 64 16M x 72
256MB Registered 32M x 64 32M x 72

Chapter 1 - Specifications
1-8 IBC 2600 User’s Guide
NOTE: DIMM modules must not exceed 1.2” in height.
All memory components and DIMMs used with the SBC must be PC-100
compliant, which means that they comply with Intel’s PC SDRAM specifi-
cations. These include the PC SDRAM Specification (memory compo-
nent specific), the PC Unbuffered DIMM Specification, the PC Registered
DIMM Specification and the PC Serial Presence Detect Specification.
MEMORY HOLE
The SBC supports a 1MB memory hole option at 512KB-640KB or
15MB-16MB.
ERROR CHECKING AND CORRECTION
The memory interface supports ECC modes via BIOS setting for multi-
ple-bit error detection and detection of all errors confined to a single
nibble.
PCI LOCAL BUS INTERFACE
The SBC is fully compliant with the PCI Local Bus 2.1 Specification. It
has optimized the PCI interface to allow the CPU to sustain the highest
possible bandwidth (greater than 100 MB/sec sustained) and low latency
of the PCI Bus. It supports PCI-to-PCI bridge technology, a pipelined
snoop ahead feature and improved PCI to DRAM write-back policy. The
PCI Local Bus interfaces to the CompactPCI Bus of the backplane and to
the on-board PCI Ultra2 SCSI controller and dual PCI 10/100Base-T
Ethernet controllers. The CompactPCI Bus interface to the backplane is
compliant with the PCI Industrial Computer Manufacturers Group
(PICMG) Specification.
Connectors J3, J4 and J5 of the CompactPCI Bus are utilized by the
SBC for connection to the rear I/O transition. The SBC and Rear I/O
Transition Module are designed so that the signals on J3, J4 and J5 must
be routed only through those connectors between the SBC and Rear I/O
Transition Module. No other connection of those signals should be made
on the backplane. Specifically, this SBC must not be used in conjunction
with a backplane that has signals on J3, J4 or J5 bussed to the SBC slot,
i.e., some H. 110 backplanes.

Chapter 1 - Specifications
1-9
IBC 2600 User’s Guide
UNIVERSAL SERIAL BUS (USB)
The SBC supports two USB 1.0 ports for serial transfers at 12 or 1.5Mbit/
sec. The Universal Serial Bus (USB) is an interface allowing for connec-
tivity to many standard PC peripherals via an external port. The USB
connector is on the front panel; USB 1 is routed to the rear I/O transition.
CONCURRENT PCI
Concurrent PCI maximizes system performance with simultaneous CPU,
PCI and AGP Bus activities. It includes multitransaction timing, enhanced
write performance, a passive release mechanism and support for PCI 2.1
compliant delayed transactions.
AGP VGA INTERFACE
The 69030 HiQ Video video/graphic accelerator is an Accelerated Graph-
ics Port (AGP) device. AGP is designed to off-load the PCI Bus by allow-
ing graphics data to move directly from system memory. The 69030
integrates 4MB of high-speed SDRAM frame buffer memory into the
chip.
By embedding SDRAM and graphics controller logic on the same die, the
69030 delivers uncompromised performance. The increase in the frame
buffer bandwidth enables the 69030 to support high color, high-resolution
graphics modes and real-time video acceleration. The interface supports
pixel resolutions up to 1280 x 1024 x True Color non-interlaced. Software
drivers for enhanced performance and resolution are available for most
popular operating systems.
A VGA connector is available on the front panel of the SBC. The VGA
port is also routed to the rear I/O transition.
Note that only one video connection may be used; the video device may
be attached either to the front panel or to the Rear I/O Transition Mod-
ule.
SYSTEM HARDWARE MONITOR
The system hardware monitoring system monitors system voltages, tem-
perature and fan speeds.

Chapter 1 - Specifications
1-10 IBC 2600 User’s Guide
The circuitry is based on National Semiconductor’s LM80. The LM80
monitors seven system voltages, two fan speeds and the board ambient
temperature. All of the voltages, fan speeds and temperature measure-
ments have associated programmable watchdog Emits. When any of
these programmed limits are exceeded, the monitor software can be
used to notify the SBC. In addition, the externally available OS# signal
can be used to notify external hardware of any over-temperature condi-
tion.
Fan speed monitoring can be configured to monitor two system fans.
The LM80 also monitors an external chassis intrusion switch via the sys-
tem hardware monitor connector (P13) on the rear I/O transition
A general purpose output (GPO) is also provided at the system hardware
monitor connector on the Rear I/O Transition Module. This signal can be
used to provide a user-defined function.
The following system voltages are monitored by the LM80:
S-12volts
S3.3 volts provided by the on-board voltage regulator for
components on the SBC
S3.3 volts backplane power used by the option slots
S+5 volts
S+12 volts
SVCC CORE, voltage provided by on-board VRM
S1.5 volt, VTT voltage used by processor’s GTL+ bus
PCI 10/100BASE-T ETHERNET INTERFACE (DUAL)
The dual PCI Ethernet interfaces are implemented using two Intel 82559
Ethernet controllers and operate in 10Base-T and 100base-TX Fast
Ethernet modes. The interfaces are compliant with IEEE 802.3 and PCI
Local Bus 2.0 and 2.1 Specifications.
