GE VMIVME-7751  Intel® Pentium® III Processor-Based VME Single Board Computer

Microprocessor:

The VMIVME-7751 brings the Intel Pentium III  processor to VME, offering processor speeds up to 1.26 GHz. The  Pentium III processor has 32-bit addressing and a 64-bit data bus. Its superscalar architecture allows three instructions to be executed per  clock cycle. A dynamic branch prediction unit, separate instruction and  data caches, and MMX™ technology also increase the processor’s  performance. The Pentium III processor also provides 256 KB (1.26 GHz  has 512 KB) of advanced transfer cache (on-die, full speed level 2 cache)  using dual independent bus architecture for high bandwidth and  performance. This L2 cache operates at the same clock frequency as the  processor, thus improving performance.

Super VGA Controller:

High-resolution graphics and multimediaquality video are supported on the VMIVME-7751 by the built-in 815E  chipset AGP graphics adapter. The adapter is complemented by 4 MB  external synchronous DRAM cache with a high-bandwidth 64-bit data  interface. Screen resolutions up to 1,600 x 1,200 x 256 colors (single  view mode) are supported by the graphics adapter.

Ethernet Controller:

The VMIVME-7751 supports Ethernet LANs with  two Intel Ethernet controllers (one 82559 and the other is internal to  Intel’s chipset ICH2). 10BaseT and 100BaseTX options are supported via  two RJ45 connectors. For increased reliability and convenience, remote  LAN booting through either adapter is supported.

Remote Ethernet Booting:

The VMIVME-7751 utilizes Lanworks  Technologies, Inc.’s BootWare® BIOS. BootWare provides the ability to  remotely boot the VMIVME-7751 and provides the following features:

• NetWare (802.1, 802.3, or Eth II), TCP/IP (DHCP or BOOTP), RPL  network protocol support  

• Unparalleled boot sector virus protection  

• Detailed boot configuration screens  

• Comprehensive diagnostics  

• Optional disabling of local boots

PCI Dual Channel Ultra160 SCSI Controller: 

A PCI Ultra160 SCSI  controller is available as an option, which provides two independent  differential channels. Both differential channels are capable of  operating up to 160 MB/s. High speed connection is provided through  two high-density connectors on the front panel. For applications  requiring connection through the backplane, one channel is routed  through the user-defined VME and supports single-ended SCSI-2. The  backplane connection is compatible with existing installations that use the VMIVME-7696, -7697, and -7697A SBCs and requires the VMIACC- 0561 accessory.
