General Information
The NuPRO-630 is a bus-100MHz ALi
®
BX-Level chipset design PICMG bus
Pentium
®
II Industrial Single Board (I.S.B.) CPU card with features combine together
to make it an ideal all-in-one industrial single board computer, enhanced I/O effects
with VGA interface on-board.
The NuPRO-630 also provides one set of PC/104 bus for 8/16-bit industrial
application with based on PC/104 standard bus.
With onboard DMA33 of mode 4 to IDE drive interface architecture, the NuPRO-630
supports with maximum 33.3 MB/sec in data transfer rating to 4 pieces IDE drive
connection.
Design with ALi™
M1621 BX-Level core logic chipset supports all series
Pentium
®
II operating at 233MHz, 266MHz, 300MHz, 333MHz, 400MHz and
450MHz. The on-board S3
®
86C375
VGA chipset supports up to 1280 x 1024 256
colors display resolution. And it also provides one extra 10-pin connector for
internal VGA connection.
The advanced PICMG bus add-on connection of NuPRO-630 allows user could easily
obtain both ISA's 16-bit and PCI's 32-bit full set signals from a full size PICMG slot for
suitable plug into system with 8/16/32-bit ISA and-or PCI slots operating. The
NuPRO-630 provides with three pieces 168-pin DIMM sockets support up to
1.5GBytes of main system memory.
A single Flash chip holds the system BIOS, and you can easy update the Flash BIOS by
the Utility Update. Advanced USB and IR ports also provide for faster and easily in data
transmission. You can also use the DOS version of the "DiskOnChip
" socket by
issuing commands from the DOS prompt without the necessity of other software
supports up to 72MB.
If a non-expect program cause halts, the onboard watchdog timer will automatically
reset the CPU or generate an interrupt. The watchdog is designed with hardware only
and doesn’t need any arithmetical functions of a real -time clock chip. This ensures the
reliability in an unmanned or standalone system.
