| HARDWARE
CPU
Standard: 100 Mhz 486DX4-100
Overdrive (-P83): 83 Mhz Pentium Overdrive
All CPUs have an on-chip Floating Point processor.
The Standard model can be field -upgraded to the Pentium Overdrive
P83.
Cache memory
Standard: 8k internal (L1), 256k external (L2) cache
Overdrive (-P83): 32k internal (L1), 256k external (L2) cache
RAM memory 8 MB Standard,
expandable to 128 MB; two 72-pin SIMM socket accept industry-standard
4, 8, 16, 32 and 64 Mbyte SIMMs (gold contacts, 36 bits with parity,
70 ns speed).
ROM memory One 128k x
8 Flash EPROM, soft-upgradeable. See Software section for
firmware contents.
EEPROM memory Two EEPROM
devices (Electrically-erasable ROM): 512 byte EEPROM for non-volatile
storage of BIOS parameters; and a 128 byte device for Ethernet parameters.
Network interface On-board,
bus-master Ethernet controller with 10BaseT interface. AMD PCNet-ISA+
controller is 100% driver-compatible with Novell NE2100 Ethernet
adapter. Jumperless configuration from BIOS-resident setup program.
Can be disabled. Diskless boot support in ROM BIOS (see Software).
LEDs for Link Status, Polarity, TX and RX. NOTE: Other network
types (e.g. Token-Ring) can be supported with a separate ISA-bus
network interface card.
SuperVGA Cirrus Logic
5430 graphics controller with 1 MB video memory (2 MB available
as a factory-installed option). Local bus, GUI-accelerated VGA controller
supports maximum resolutions of 1280x1024x16 colors, 1024x768x256
colors, 800x600x32k colors or 640x480x16M colors with 1 MB video
RAM. Higher resolutions/colors available with the second MB of video
RAM. A SuperVGA monitor can be directly connected to the back of
the CAPcard, but is not required for normal operation.
Serial ports Two buffered
RS-232 ports using 1655x-type UARTs. Operates at up to 115kbps.
COM1 located on the rear I/O bracket; COM2 available via a header
on the top edge of the board (assignments can be reversed). Jumperless
configuration from BIOS-resident setup program. Can be disabled
from the BIOS.
Parallel port Supports
EPP (Enhanced Parallel Port) capabilities. Configurable as LPT1
or LPT2. Accessible via a header connector on the top edge of the
board. Can be disabled in the BIOS.
Keyboard port Accepts
PS/2 or AT type keyboards using a mini-DIN PS/2 type connector,
accessible on the rear of the CAPcard (an adapter for AT-type keyboards
is included with the CAPserver system unit.) A keyboard is not needed
for normal operation.
Mouse port Accepts a
standard Microsoft-compatible Mouse using a mini-DIN type connector.
Floppy controller Supports
one or two floppy drives, which can be mounted in the host PC, if
needed. Can be disabled from the BIOS.
On-board hard disk 420
MB (or larger) 2.5" IDE-interface hard drive mounted on the
CAPcard with pre-loaded software (see below).
Watchdog controller On-board
microcontroller chip monitors operation of the CAPcard and issues
a hard-reset if the card locks up and at the end of a remote control
session.
I/O connectors Rear panel:
Mouse (mini-DIN), COM1 (10-pin modular), VGA (DB-15), PS/2 keyboard
(mini-DIN), 10BaseT (8-pin modular). Board headers: IDE (40),
floppy (34), parallel (26), COM2 (10), external reset (2), speaker
(2) and CAPlink/display (16).
ISA bus interface 100% passive
bus interface draws only DC power from the host PC's ISA or
EISA bus. Because of the height of the hard drive, requires two
ISA/EISA slots in the host PC.
(Optional) Phone Line Interface
Module (PLIM) Optional, external phone line interface module
used to force a "busy" condition on the phone line while
the CAPcard is rebooting. Facilitates the use of phone-line hunt
groups. Controlled by the management software. Ordered separately
as model "PLIM".
Jumperless design All
on-board peripherals including the network interface, serial ports,
parallel port, floppy and IDE interface can be configured and disabled
from the CAPcard BIOS.
Power consumption Less than
19W total.
Cables included 6-foot
RS-232 cable for external modem connection and AT keyboard adapter
cable (for installation).
