Introduction
Product Description
IB500 is a high-performance PISA-compliant CPU card that comes with
a MicroPCI Socket that supports MicroPCI daughter cards with VGA,
VGA/LAN, LAN, and SCSI functions. It is based on the Intel 430TX
PCIset and features a Socket 7 architecture that supports Socket 7 level
processors with frequencies up to 400MHz using a front side bus of
60MHz or 66MHz.
System memory is provided by one 168-pin DIMM socket that
accommodates up to 256MB SDRAM. The on board Award BIOS
facilitates easy system configuration and peripheral setup. Other
advanced features include DiskOnChip flash disk support, watchdog
timer, USB and IrDA interface.
DiskOnChip flash disks are storage devices that has no moving parts and
emulates FDD/HDD with Flash/RAM/ROM offering reliable
data/program storage and long life span. They are reliable and suitable for
industrial or other harsh environments characterized by motion, shock,
vibration, adverse temperature, dust and humidity. Other features include
faster data access, longer MTBF, lower power consumption, cost
effective for small capacity and small form factor.

Installing the CPU
The IB500 CPU Card supports a Socket 7 processor socket that comes
with a lever to secure the processor. Raise this lever to approximately 90°
to allow the insertion of the processor. Place the processor into the socket
by making sure the notch on the corner of the CPU corresponds with that
of the socket. Once the processor has slid into the socket, return the lever
to the lock position.
After you have installed the processor into the socket, check if the
jumpers for the CPU type and speed are correct. Refer to the section on
Setting the Jumpers.
?
Ensure that the CPU heat sink and the CPU’s top surface are
in total contact to avoid CPU overheating problem that would
cause your system to hang or be unstable.
MicroPCI Daughter Card Installation
The IB500 CPU card is integrated with one MicroPCI socketthat uses a
144-pin connector. The socket can accommodate the VGA, Ethernet or
SCSI MicroPCI daughter cards.
To insert the MicroPCI daughter cards, position it at 30°to the PCB and
gently push it into the MicroPCI connector. The card will not fit when
inserted at an angle of 45°or 15°. Once inserted, slowly press the card
towards the PCB until it locks on both sides to the clips of the connector.
Screw the card to the PCB to secure the installation.
