CAPcard
9500 Technical Specifications
The CAPcard 9500 is a "PC-on-a-card" designed
for remote LAN access and other unattended applications where maximum
uptime is required. The CAPcard 9500 includes communications, management
and other features not found on desktop PCs.
Up to 20 CAPcards can be installed in a CAPserver.
These boards can be used as Host processors for dial-in remote control,
Web Servers, WAN/Internet routers, E-mail hubs or to run any application
that would normally require a dedicated PC.
HARDWARE
CPU Three
models available:
Model 95-100: 100 Mhz 486DX4-100 (one ISA slot)
Model 95-120: 120 Mhz 486DX4-120 (one ISA slot)
Model 95-P83: 83 Mhz Pentium Overdrive tM (two ISA slots)
All CPUs have an on-chip Floating Point processor. Uses a "Type
3" 237-pin ZIF socket to allow CPUs to be field upgraded as
needed to a faster 486 or Pentium Overdrive TM processor.
Cache memory Depends
on model:
Model 95-100: 8k internal (L1), 256k external (L2) cache
Model 95-120: 8k internal (L1), 256k external (L2) cache
Model 95-P83: 32k internal (L1), 256k external (L2) cache
RAM memory Minimum
2 MB; maximum 128 MB; two 72-pin SIMM socket accept industry-standard
2, 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. Can be disabled from the BIOS.
IDE interface Supports
one or two IDE drives. Can be software-configured as Primary, Secondary
or Disabled from the BIOS. The IDE connecter is located on the top
edge of the CAPcard.
Temperature sensor On-board
sensor reports ambient board temperature back to management agent
for display, logging and for generating administrator alerts.
CAPlink controller On-board
microcontroller chip interfaces the CAPcard 9500 to the CAPlink
out-of-band RS-485 bus for low-level management functions including
remote hard-reset.
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).
Dual -mode bus interface
Passive or Bus-master modes.
In "Passive" the 9500 only draws DC power from the ISA
bus of the CAPserver. In "Bus-master" mode it also drives
the ISA bus allowing it to control an accessory adapter plugged
into its bus segment (e.g. a Token Ring card, DGXA card, Fax board,
etc.) The bus-master jumper block must be ordered separately as
model code CC9500-JUMPER.
PLIM (Phone Line Interface
Module) Optional, external
phone line interface module used to force a "busy" condition
on the phone line while the CAPcard is rebooting, has been disabled
by the system administrator or is otherwise unavailable to receive
a call. 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.

6.22; ReachOut 5.0 remote control software (see below); display
drivers for Windows 3.1, NT and
OS/2; and license for CAPcard executive sofware (CCX2).

Host and one Viewer (remote) license bundled with CAPcard 9500.
Supports both serial (modem) and network (IPX, TCP/IP, NetBIOS)
connection types. Includes DOS and native Windows versions. Extra
Viewer licenses also available. Refer to the ReachOut 5.0 Data
Sheet for more information.

software (see below) and Evergreen custom setup program. Field-upgradeable
flash-ROM.
Local/remote boot support Supports
multiple boot methods configurable from BIOS: 1) Local hard/floppy
drive; 2) directed boot using MSD NLM included with CAPserver; 3)
directed boot using Novell fileserver and boot image name specified
in setup screen; 4) Novell standard "remote reset"; 5)
IBM-compatible 4/16 Token Ring; 6) IBM-standard "RIPL";
and 7) external boot ROM.
