IBC 2606 User's Guide 7
1.1 Introduction
The IBC 2606 is a 6U-size CompactPCITM all-in-one single board Pentium® III/CeleronTM CPU card
which complies with PICMG 2.0 R2.1 CompactPCITM specifications. Targeting performance-
demanding applications like computer telephony and communications, the IBC 2606 accepts up
to Pentium® III 850 MHz processors and higher for optimum computing capability. Based on
Intel®’s 440BX chipset, the IBC 2606 enhances its performance with 100 MHz front side bus.
1.1.1 High Performance Pentium® III Processor
The IBC 2606 accepts an Intel® Pentium® III or CeleronTM processor with the 370-pin FC-PGA
package. The Pentium® III processor has on-chip 256 KB and the CeleronTM processor has onchip
128 KB second level cache memory providing high performance with low cost. With the support
of a 100 or 66 MHz CPU bus clock. The IBC 2606 can fulfill customer’s expectations of high-
performance computing capability.
1.1.2 Compact Mechanical Design
The IBC 2606 has many functions on a single board with only one-slot width. A CPU heat sink
specially designed for the Pentium® III processor, enabling the IBC 2606 to operate without a
cooling fan on the heat sink. It only needs external cooling air from the chassis fans for
ventilation. This enables the IBC 2606 to use a Pentium® III CPU within a mere 1-slot wide space.
1.1.3 Complete I/O Functions
The IBC 2606 offers all the I/O functions of an industrial computer with the rugged Eurocard form
factor. All I/O connectors are available on the front panel, containing two Fast Ethernet interfaces,
two serial ports, one USB port, one VGA connector, and one PS/2 keyboard/mouse connector.
The front panel also has a reset button and LEDs for power status, HDD operation and Ethernet
communication.
The built-in high speed IDE controller provides two separate IDE channels with Ultra DMA/33
mode. The user-defined J3 connector is designed to support up to four IDE devices and two
FDDs. These drives can simply be connected to the backplane or to the rear transition board for
easy service and maintenance.
1.1.4 Meets Industrial Applications Requirements
The IBC 2606 is designed for use in mission critical applications. It accepts a CompactFlashTM
memory card on the rear transition board, thus eliminating the need to use a fragile rotating hard
drive. A watchdog timer can automatically reset the system if the system stops due to a program
bug or EMI. The two-layer front panel design complies with IEEE 1101.10. Connectors are firmly
screwed to the front panel, and the replaceable shielding gasket is attached to the panel edge.
This reduces emissions and gives better protection against external interference.

1.4 Jumpers
1.4.1 Jumper Locations
The IBC 2606 provides a jumper (JP2) for configuring your board for specific applications other
than the default settings.
Table 1-1 lists the jumper function. Figure 1-2 illustrates the jumper location. Read this section
carefully before changing the jump setting on your IBC 2606 card.
Table 1-1: IBC 2606 jumper descriptions
Number Function
JP2 Clear CMOS
1.4.2 Jumper Settings
This section tells how to set the jumpers to configure your card. It gives the card default
configuration and your options for each jumper. After you set the jumpers and install the card, you
will also need to run the BIOS Setup program (discussed in Chapter 6) to configure the serial port
addresses, floppy/hard disk drive types and system operating parameters. Connections, such as
hard disk cables, appear in Chapter 2.
For the locations of each jumper, see the board layout diagram depicted earlier in this chapter.
You configure your card to match the needs of your application by setting jumpers. A jumper is
the simplest kind of electric switch. It consists of two metal pins and a small metal cap (often
protected by a plastic cover) that slides over the pins to connect them. To "close" a jumper you
connect the pins with the cap. To "open" a jumper you remove the cap. Sometimes a jumper will
have three pins, labeled 1, 2 and 3. In this case you connect either pins 1 and 2 or 2 and 3.
The jumper settings are schematically depicted in this manual as follows:
You may find a pair of needle-nose pliers useful for setting the jumpers.
If you have any doubts about the best hardware configuration for your application, contact your
local distributor or sales representative before you make any changes.
1.4.3 Clear CMOS (JP2)
This jumper is used to erase CMOS data and reset system BIOS information. Follow the
procedures below to clear the CMOS.
1. Turn off the system.

1.6 Safety Precautions
Follow these simple precautions to protect yourself from harm and the products from damage.
1. To avoid electric shock, always disconnect the power from your PC chassis before you work on
it. Don't touch any components on the CPU card or other cards while the PC is on.
2. Disconnect power before making any configuration changes. The sudden rush of power as you
connect a jumper or install a card may damage sensitive electronic components.
3. Always ground yourself to remove any static charge before you touch your CPU card. Be
particularly careful not to touch the chip connectors. Modern integrated electronic devices,
especially CPUs and memory chips, are extremely sensitive to static electric discharges and
fields. Keep the card in its antistatic packaging when it is not installed in the PC, and place it on a
static dissipative mat when you are working with it. Wear a grounding wrist strap for continuous
protection.

IBC 2606 User's Guide 17
1.7 Installing SDRAM (SODIMMs)
The IBC 2606 provides two 144-pin SODIMM sockets. Each socket accepts either 16, 32, 64, 128
or 256 MB SDRAM. The sockets can be filled in any combination with SODIMMs of any size,
giving a total memory capacity between 16 and 512 MB. If only one SODIMM module is required,
it can be installed in either SODIMM socket.
Since the IBC 2606 can operate at 66 or 100 MHz, we recommend using PC100-compliant
SODIMMs.
To enable the chipset's Error Checking and Correction (ECC) function, please use SODIMMs
which support the ECC function.
The procedure for installing SODIMMs appears below. Please follow these steps carefully.
1. Ensure that all power supplies to the system are switched Off.
2. Install the SODIMM module. Install the SODIMM so that its gold pins point down into the
SODIMM socket.
3. Slip the SODIMM into the socket at a 45 degree angle and carefully fit the bottom of the card
against the connectors.
4. Gently push the SODIMM into the socket until the clips on the ends of the SODIMM sockets
snap into place.
5. Check to ensure that the SODIMM is correctly seated and all connector contacts touch. The
SODIMM should not move around in its socket.
NOTE: The SODIMM modules can only fit into sockets one way, in accordance with the
keyed notches along the bottom edge of the modules. Their gold pins must point down
into the SODIMM socket.

IBC 2606 User's Guide
1.8 Installing CPU and Heat Sink
The IBC 2606 accepts Intel® socket 370 Pentium® III Cuppermine CPU or Intel® socket 370
CeleronTM CPU. In order to meet critical environmental conditions and the physical space of the
IBC 2606 a heat sink was used to fulfill both needs.
Please refer to Figure 1-4 for an illustration of the heat sink used for the IBC 2606.
Because the thickness of the Pentium® III and CeleronTM CPU are different, a samll aluminum
plate along with the heat sink when installed with a Pentium® III CPU. The small aluminum plate is
default fastened on the heat sink in the factory. If users would like to use a CeleronTM CPU on the
IBC 2606, please remove the small aluminum plate from the heat sink.
Figure 1-4: Heat sink installation

IBC 2606 User's Guide
2.1 IDE Device (CN10)
The IBC 2606 provides two IDE (Integrated Device Electronics) channels via the J3 connector to
the rear transition board (IBC 2706 for IBC 2606). Four IDE drives can be connected to the IBC
2606 through the rear transition board.
Users can connect two IDE drives to each IDE channel. If two drives are installed on one
channel, remember to set one as the master and the other one as the slave. You may do this by
setting the jumpers on the drives. Refer to the documentation that came with your drive for more
information. A jumper diagram usually appears on the top side of a hard disk drive.
Warning:
Plug the other end of the cable into the drive with pin 1 on the cable corresponding
to pin 1 on the drive. Improper connection will damage the drive.
Note: We don't recommend connection to the following Seagate brand IDE HDD models:
ST 31276A, ST31720A, ST 32531A, ST 33240A or ST 34340A
2.2 VGA Display Connector (CN3)
The IBC 2606 provides an VGA chipset built-in display for high performance application. The IBC
2606's CN3 is a DB-15 connector for VGA monitor input. Pin assignments for the VGA display are
detailed in Appendix B.
2.3 PS/2 Keyboard and Mouse Connector (CN5)
The IBC 2606 provides a 6-pin mini-DIN connector (CN5) on the front panel for connection of
PS/2 keyboard and PS/2 mouse. The IBC 2606 comes with a cable to convert from the single 6-
pin mini-DIN connector to a double PS/2 keyboard connector and PS/2 mouse connector. Since
these two connectors are identical, please follow the icons on the cable to plug the keyboard and
the mouse into their correct connectors.
2.4 Serial Ports (CN1 and CN2)
The IBC 2606 offers two serial ports: COM1 and COM2, both in RS-232. These ports allow users
to connect to serial devices (a mouse, printers, etc.) or a communication network.
You can select the address for each port ( For example, 3F8H [COM1], 2F8H [COM2]) or disable
it, using the BIOS Advanced Setup program, covered in Chapter 5.
Different devices implement the RS-232 standard in different ways. If you are having problems
with a serial device, be sure to check the pin assignments for the connector.
The IRQ and address range for both ports are fixed. However, if you wish to disable the port or
change these parameters later, you can do this in the system BIOS setup. The table below shows
the settings for
the IBC 2606 board's ports:
