2 PCM-6890 User Manual
Introduction
The PCM-6890 is an all-in-one multi-media Celeron processor based
single board computer (SBC) with a 32-bit PCI audio controller, a
PCI Flat Panel controller, a PCI 100Base-Tx Ethernet interface, and
one PCI expansion slot. When using an Intel Pentium II processor,
the PCM-6890 achieves outstanding performance that surpasses
any other SBC in its class. In addition, the onboard SSD interface
supports M-systems DiskOnChip 2000 series, memory capacity
from 2 MB to 144 MB. This compact (only 5.75"“ x 8") unit offers
all the functions of a single board industrial computer, but still fits
in the space of a CD-ROM drive.
On-board features include four serial ports (three RS-232, one RS-
232/422/485), one multi-mode parallel (ECP/EPP/SPP) port, connec-
tor for two USB (Universal Serial Bus) ports, a floppy drive
controller, and a keyboard/PS/2 mouse interface. The built-in high
speed PCI IDE controller supports Ultra DMA/33 mode. Up to two
IDE devices can be connected, including large hard disks, CD-
ROM drives, and tape backup drives, etc.
The PCM-6890 also features power management to minimize power
consumption. It complies with the ACPI 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.
Highly integrated multi-media SBC
The PCM-6890 is a highly integrated multi-media SBC that com-
bines audio, video, and network functions on a CD-ROM drive size
single computer board. It provides 32-bit half-duplex, 16-bit full-
duplex, integrated 3D audio and up to 1024 x 768 resolution @ 64K
colors with on-chip 2MB SDRAM display memory. Major onboard
devices adopt PCI technology to achieve outstanding computing
performance when used with Intel Celeron level processors, making
the PCM-6890 one of the world's smallest and most powerful all-in-
one multimedia boards.
