CHAPTER

2PCM-5894 User'sManual
Introduction
The PCM-5894 is a Pentium single board computer with one on-
board PCI SVGA controller, one PCI Ethernet interface and one
PCI expansion slot. Equipped with 64 bits local bus architecture,
the PCM-5894 releases Pentium's full potential and provides
unprecedented performance compared to current 32-bit proces-
sor boards. The PCM-5894 offers all the functions of industrial
computer on a single board, but fits in the space of a 5¼" floppy
drive (only 5.75" x 8"). For maximum performance, the PCM-
5894 also supports 2nd level cache 512 KB on board. SSD
interface supports one 32-pin DIP socket for M-system DiskOn-
Chip 2000 series, memory capacity from 2 MB to 72MB.
On-board features include four serial ports (three RS-232 and
one RS-232/422/485), one multi-mode parallel (ECP/EPP/SPP)
port, one floppy drive controller and one keyboard/PS/2 mouse
interface. The built-in high speed PCI IDE controller supports
both PIO and bus master modes. Up to two IDE devices can be
connected, including large hard disks, CD-ROM drives, tape
backup drives and other IDE devices.
The PCM-5894 also features power management to minimize
power consumption. It complies with the “Green Function”
standard and supports three types of power saving features: Doze
mode, Standby mode and Suspend mode. In addition, the board’s
watchdog timer can automatically reset the system or generate an
interrupt in case the system stops due to a program bug or EMI.
On-board peripherals with true PCI
performance
The PCM-5894 is a highly integrated, all-in-one single board
computer. All on-board peripherals (including PCI flat panel/VGA
interface, PCI Ethernet and PCI IDE) adopt PCI technology and
operate through internal PCI bus. Integrating a Pentium board with
PCI architecture has unleashed a revolutionary level of perfor-
mance. The PCM-5894 is the smallest and most powerful all-in-
one Pentium board available.
