coolMONSTER/S
The
cool
MONSTER/S
integrates the complete functionality of a Pentium motherboard with CPU,
system BIOS, 8MB to 128MB SDRAM memory, keyboard controller, real-time clock, onboard VGA
with LCD interface and additional peripheral functions like serial ports, parallel port, floppy
interface, EIDE hard-disk interfaces, USB interface, IrDA interface, watchdog, Ethernet access, and
audio.
The
cool
MONSTER/S
comes with a low-power, 266MHz Intel Pentium
processor with MMX
Technology in an HL-PBGA-package. This processor is specified for proper operation when case
temperature is within the specified range of 0
C to 95
C. The board can operate in the temperature
range specified for this board without using a heatsink. (See the Specifications section.)
Unlike previous versions of
cool
MONSTER products, this
cool
MONSTER/S
is equipped with a right
angle SDRAM-socket, which limits the complete height to 25mm.
The
cool
MONSTER/S
is designed in the PISA format, which provides the functionality of the PCI and
ISA bus on one well-defined bus. When connecting the backplane to the PISA board, just one EISA-
like edge card connector is used.
The pin-out of the upper row of the PISA bus connector corresponds to the pin-out of the ISA bus
connector. The lower row provides PCI signals, which makes it easier to design backplanes with up
to four PCI slots and additional ISA slots.
