1.01 Interfacing
For maximum communication flexibility, multiple interfaces satisfying different industrial stand-
ards are implemented. LAN applications can take advantage of Inova’s 10BaseT/100BaseTx (dual)
Ethernet implementation or, if high-speed system-level serial interfacing is required, the built-in
400/100 Mbit/s FireWire port is available. Peripherals may be connected to the standard USB or,
as an option, the on-board PCI bus allows support of custom I/O piggybacks conforming to
Inova’s open specification.
The Intel 21554 non-transparent PCI/PCI bridge is utilised for multiprocessing applications equipped
with a Master and Slave CPU in the same system.
1.02 Peripherals
The ICP-PIII supports standard PC peripherals like floppy disk, hard disk and CD ROM. Notebook
style hard disks may be connected directly to the base-board (2-slot) and possess their own front-
panel offering COM ports and PS-2 style connectors for mouse and keyboard.
