Peak 555A User's Guide

Specifications

1-3

The additional keyboard connector is reserved for connecting to the

keyboard connector on the back plane. The high precision real time

clock/calendar is built in for accurate scheduling and the watchdog timer

is also the standard feature.

A special circuit is reserved to monitor the CPU cooling fan. If the

cooling fan stops or abnormally slow, the buzzer will beep as alarm.

The Peak’s unique offering the ISAMAX is the standard feature of the

Peak 555A, and supporting up to 20 PCs of ISA add-on cards without

any problems

A 4pin power connector is severed on the advanced power regular

module for standalone application. The Peak 555A already integrates

lot of features on hand. It’s actually complete enough for most of the

normal applications.

The PEAK 555A will be available our two module as follows:

--- PEAK 555VL: All common feature plus V6A and LAN, no SCSI

module.

--- PEAK 555A: Plus ultra wide SCSI module.
