Introduction
The ROBO-638 all-in-one single board computer is designed to fit a high
performance Pentium-II/III based CPU and compatible for high-end computer
system with PCI Local Bus architecture. It is made to meet today’s demanding
pace, and keep complete compatibility with hardware and software designed for the
IBM PC/AT. It's beneficial to build up a high performance and high data
availability system for VARs, or system integrators. The on-board Ultra-2 SCSI
adapter, 3D AGP Graphics display, and fast Ethernet interface will bring full
functionality and high performance to all segments of the PC market.
This single board computer can run with Intel Pentium-II/III processor up to 500
MHz, and support DIMM up to 1GB DRAM. The enhanced on-board PCI IDE
interface can support 4 drives up to PIO mode 4 timing and Ultra DMA/33
synchronous mode feature. The on-board Super I/O Chipset integrates floppy
controller, two serial ports, one FIR (Fast Infrared) port and one parallel port.
Two high performance 16C550-compatible UARTs provide 16-byte send/receive
FIFOs, and the multi-mode parallel port supports SPP/EPP/ECP function. Besides,
two USB (Universal Serial Bus) ports provide high-speed data communication
between peripherals and PC.
The PICMG standard makes the ROBO-638 works with the legacy ISA, ISA/PCI or
multi-slots PCI-bus backplane. The on-board 32-pin DIP socket supports M-system
Disk-On-Chip product up to 144MB. The Watch-Dog Timer function can monitor
your system status. Two 6-pin Mini-DIN connectors are provided to connect PS/2
Mouse and Keyboard. The on board Flash ROM is used to make the BIOS update
easier. A standard P8 power connector is reserved to directly get more power
energy for big power applications, and the additional 5-pin shrouded connector is
reserved for connecting Keyboard interface on the backplane. The high precision
Real Time Clock/calendar is built in to support Y2K for accurate scheduling and
storing configuration information. One 4-pin header is designed to support ATX
power function. All of these features make ROBO-638 excellent in stand-alone
applications.
