INTRODUCTION

MANUAL OBJECTIVES

This manual describes in detail the Blue Chip Technology ELECTRON Single Board processor card.

We have tried to include as much information as possible but we have not duplicated information that is

provided in the standard IBM Technical References, unless it proved to be necessary to aid in the

understanding of the ELECTRON Single Board PC.

The manual is divided into logical sections and includes a User Guide which will help non-technical users

get the unit up and running. A Troubleshooting Guide is also included to help should things go wrong.

We strongly recommend that you study this manual carefully before attempting to interface with

ELECTRON or change the standard configurations. Whilst all the necessary information is available in this

manual we would recommend that unless you are confident, you contact your supplier for guidance.

Please be aware that it is possible to create configurations within the CMOS RAM that make booting

impossible. If this should happen, clear the CMOS settings, (see the description of the Jumper Settings for

details).

If you have any suggestions or find any errors concerning this manual and want to inform us of these, please

contact our Customer Support department with the relevant details.

LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY

In no event shall Blue Chip Technology be held liable for any loss, expenses or damages of any kind

whatsoever, whether direct, indirect, incidental or consequential, arising from the design or use of this

product or the support materials supplied with this product. If this product proves to be defective, Blue Chip

Technology is only obliged to replace or refund the purchase price at Blue Chip Technology's discretion

according to their Terms and Conditions of Sale.

PRECAUTIONS

It is imperative that precautions are taken to avoid electro-static discharges, or any maltreatment of the on-

board battery.

ELECTRO-STATIC DISCHARGES

The devices on this card can be totally destroyed by static electricity. Ensure that you take necessary static

precautions, ideally wear an approved wrist strap or touch a suitable ground to discharge any static build

up. This should be repeated if the handling is for any length of time.

When carrying the board around, please place it into the anti-static bag in which it came. This will

prevent any static electricity build up. Do not use the black conductive type of anti-static bag as these will

discharge the on-board battery.

ON-BOARD LITHIUM CELL (BT1: CR2032)

This board is fitted with a Lithium cell( BT1). Great care should be taken with this type of cell. Under

NO circumstances should :

•the outputs be shorted

•be exposed to temperatures in excess of 100°C

•be burnt

•be immersed in water

•be unsoldered

•be recharged

•be disassembled

If the battery is mistreated in any way there is a very real possibility of fire, explosion, and personal harm.

USER GUIDE

OVERVIEW

The Blue Chip Technology ELECTRON Single Board PC sets new standards for integration of the latest

advances in processor, graphics, memory, and I/O technologies. The ELECTRON complies with the PICMG

form factor providing ISA and PCI bus interfaces on a single PC/AT plug-in card. The PICMG single board

PC is an ideal platform for the increasing requirements of today's and tomorrow's embedded applications.

This flexible PICMG design will accept Pentium IIand Pentium IIIprocessors operating at 233 - 700

MHz as well as the SECC (slot 1) Celeronprocessors. These Slot 1 processors are supported in a flush

mounting Slot 1 connector designed to reduce the overall board dimensions and thereby maximising the slot

availability. The Intel 440BX chipset supports 100MHz front side bus (FSB) which provides increased

performance over traditional 66MHz bus speeds The memory sub-system is designed to support up to

256MB of unbuffered SDRAM in standard 168-pin DIMM sockets. The memory modules must be PC100

compliant in order to operate at the increased 100MHz FSB. Non PC100 should only be operated at 66MHz

FSB.

The ELECTRON single board PC uses the Intel i740 AGP controller on board to provide outstanding

graphics performance and increased integration over other single board PC designs. The Electron supports

AGPx2 (133MHz) data rates and up to 8Mbytes of SGRAM.

The ELECTRON provides PCI Bus Mastering IDE DMA Mode2 controller with two high performance

Enhanced IDE interfaces allowing up to four IDE devices (such as hard drives, CD-ROM readers, etc.)

UltraDMA/33 PIO Mode 3 & 4 are also supported.

An on Board PCI Ultra SCSI II controller (16 bit single ended) is fitted on board using the Industry standard

Adaptec AIC7880. This produces SCSI data rates of up to 40MB/s, and provides expansion for up to sixteen

devices.

Networking capability is provided bt an on board PCI based 100/10 Base T ethernet controller. This device

can auto-negotiate network speeds and comes complete with drivers for most network environments

Two USB ports provide easy IO expansion to USB Specification Rev 1.0 compliant devices.

A 16 bit quality Sound Blaster compatible audio device is available on board. This provides for mono

microphone input, and stereo line in and line out. The codec is Soundblastercompatible.

The SMC 37C675 Enhanced Super I/O controller integrates the standard PC I/O functions: floppy interface,

two FIFO serial ports, one EPP/ECP capable parallel port, keyboard and mouse (PS/2) controller.

The ELECTRON also provides for driving up to four external PCI local bus non bridged slots. These

provide a high bandwidth data path for data-movement intensive functions such as frame grabbing or

networking. Larger numbers of PCI slots can be supported through PCI bridged backplanes. The

ELECTRON provides a buffered ISA bus. This permits up to twenty ISA slots to be driven to complete the

I/O capability. The ELECTRON should only be used in PICMG back-planes. ISA only back-planes are not

recommended for use with ELECTRON as power should be drawn from both the PCI and ISA connectors of

the PICMG connectors.

In addition to the superior hardware capabilities, a full set of software drivers and utilities are available to

allow advanced operating systems such as Windows™ 95/ 98 to take full advantage of the hardware

capabilities. Features such as bus mastering and UDMA33 EIDE, Windows™95-ready Plug and Play,

Advanced Power Management (APM) are available for the ELECTRON.

PROCESSOR

The ELECTRON single board PC is designed to operate with Pentium II/III Processors running at various

voltages. An on-board voltage regulator circuit provides the required voltage for the processor core and

automatically sets the voltage level to match the processor installed. No links or user intervention is

required.

The Pentium II processor maintains full backward compatibility with the 8086, 80286, i386, Intel486

and Pentium processors. It supports both read and write burst mode bus cycles, and includes L1 and L2

caches on the slot module. Also integrated into the Pentium II/III processor is an advanced numeric co-

processor which significantly increases the speed of floating point operations, whilst maintaining

backward compatibility with i486DX math co-processor and complying to ANSI/IEEE standard 754-1985.

PROCESSOR UPGRADE

The ELECTRON single board PC has a 242 SECC connector (Slot 1) that provides users with a processor

upgrade path. Future, faster, lower power processors being developed for use with Slot 1 can provide

performance beyond that delivered by the originally installed Pentium II/III Processor. The ELECTRON

will support CPUs from 233- 700MHz and beyond.
