2. Introduction
2.1 System Overview
The ECB-870 is an all-in-one Full-size Pentium 4 Single Board Computer (SBC) designed
with Intel embedded chipset 845E which supports the latest Intel m-PGA 478 Pentium 4
CPU up to 2.2 GHz+ at 400 MHz of FSB, the chipset SiS315 AGP 4X VGA with 128/256
bits 2D/3D engine and onboard 32MB independent video memory for high performance
video output, dual Intel PCI-bus Fast Ethernet controllers, and M-Systems DiskOnChip
socket.
Targeting on the mission critical telecommunication or industrial applications, the ECB-870
comes designed with Intel EMD solutions. These include Intel 845, 82562ET PLC and
82559(ER) 10/100Base-Tx Fast Ethernet controller. Unlike regular commercial solutions,
Intel EMD solutions provide higher system stability and longer product supply time (Intel
EMD products' typical life cycle is 5 years). The long product life cycle guarantee is
particularly important for systems that are designed to last for many years. This makes it a
perfect solution for not only popular Networking Devices like Firewall, Gateway, Router,
and e-Server, but also CTI (Computer Telephony Integration) equipments such as PBX,
Digital Logger, etc.
Other onboard features include 400Mhz FSB, Address/Data buffer to enhance the ISA-
bus driving capacity up to 64mA, dual UDMA 100 IDE channels, two 16C550 compatible
serial ports (one RS-232, one RS-232/422/485), one multi-mode parallel port, three 168-
pin DIMM sockets allowing for up to 3GB of SDRAM to be installed. The optional onboard
Promise PDC20265R hardware PCI to UltraATA/100 IDE RAID controller provides two
extra UDMA 100 IDE master channels with RAID level 0 striping and level 1 mirroring
supported for high volume data storage and fast data backup requirements.
