PCM-9581 Manual (3.4 MB)

PCM-9581 is centered on a powerful Intel® Pentium® M or Celeron® M processor with Award® BIOS that supports enhanced Intel “SpeedStep” technology and uses Intel’s 855GME and ICH4 I/O chipset. These chipsets are specifically for embedded computing and provide an optimized on-board integrated graphics solution. “SpeedStep” technology intelligently focuses system power where the CPU needs it and automatically regulates power usage to preserve battery life.

The PCM-9581's design is based on the EBX form factor and provides support for PCI module expansion. The EBX form factor also provides a convenient connector layout for easy assembly, more efficient cable connections, and better overall embedded system integration. This compact unit (only 5.75" x 8") offers all the functions of a single board industrial computer, but still fits in the space of a 5.25" CD-ROM drive.

On-board features include: four serial ports, one multi-mode parallel (ECP/EPP/SPP) port, four USB (Universal Serial Bus) 1.1/2.0 ports, an optional floppy drive controller, and a PS/2 keyboard/mouse interface. The built-in high-speed PCI IDE controller supports both PIO and UDMA/100 bus master modes. Up to four IDE devices can be connected, including large hard disks, CD-ROM drives, and tape backup drives.

Highly Integrated Multimedia SBC

The PCM-9581 is a highly integrated multimedia SBC that combines audio, video, and network functions on a single computer board the size of a 5.25" CD-ROM drive. It provides an AC-97 interface and supports Line-in, Line-out, and MIC-in via optional PCM-232 audio module, and up to 2048 x 1536 resolution. The PCM-9581 also supports optional TV-out for NTSC/PAL multimedia applications.
