SB586P ICS Advent Controller Board

The Kontron / ICS Advent SB586P / SB586PV Series Controller Boards are a full featured, industrialized, single board computer supporting the Intel Pentium processor. It combines many of the features normally needed for system operation (high speed serial ports, parallel port, disk controllers) on one board. This reduces the number of slots required on the passive backplane, allowing room for additional feature cards. All of the on-board controllers may be totally disabled through the system BIOS if desired. The SB586P(V) series has received XXCAL Lab's Gold Certificate for compatibility and performance and is CE certified when used in a CE compliant chassis.

The CPU board uses the Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) bus to communicate with the onboard features. The external bus architecture complies with the Industrial Standard Architecture (ISA) with a PCI bus extension. The PCI bus extension supports the DEC bridge chip, allowing additional peripherals on the PCI bus. A full range of Pentium processors with speeds ranging from 75MHz to 200MHz are supported on the SB586P(V) board. The processor is installed in a Low Insertion Force (LIF) socket and in- cludes a heat sink to dissipate the excess heat it may generate. In environments exceeding +40°C, a fan cooled heat sink is recommended.

The board has four SIMM sockets, arranged in two banks, and will accept up to 192MB of RAM using 36 bit SIMMs. A 256k or 512k onboard cache option is available and is upgraded with plug-in Cache Modules.
