Introduction
Features
The PCA-6275 is a high-performance dual Pentium® II/III
CPU card. Using Intel's 82440BX chipset, the PCA-6275 is
able to support up to 500+ MHZ of processing speed. This
makes it an ideal choice for applications that require
extremely high performance, such as computer telephony.
• Dual Intel Slot 1 architecture, supports 66/100 MHz FSB
Each CPU provides 512 KB on-chip L2 cache, eliminating
the need for external SRAM chips. The PCA-6275 has two
PCI EIDE interfaces (for up to four devices), and an FDD
interface (for up to two devices). Other features include
two RS-232 serial ports (16C550 UARTs with 16-byte FIFO
or compatible), one enhanced parallel port (supports
SPP/EPP/ECP), and support for two USB (Universal Serial
Bus) ports. The PCI Bus Master IDE controller supports
Ultra DMA/33 operation. This provides data transfer rates
up to 33 MB/sec, and allows drive capacities up to 8.4 GB.
System BIOS supports boot-up from IDE CD-ROM.
A backup of CMOS data is stored in the Flash memory,
which protects data even after a battery failure. Also
included is a 63-level watchdog timer, which resets the
CPU or generates an interrupt if a program cannot be
executed normally. This enables reliable operation in
unattended environments.
