Circuit Breaker and ATX Switch The circuit breaker located on the bottom panel will trip at 10 Amps nominal. The ATX switch located on this panel will energize the system when depressed. The ATX switch will also shut the unit off if depressed for approximately 3 seconds, a momentary activation should have no effect on operation. Single Board Computer (SBC)P3/133 At the heart of the DP027010 is a P3/133 SBC with an 850 Mhz Intel Pentium III CPU.
BJ79 jacks. The I/O plate also includes a DB9 female jack for the keyboard and mouse connections. Two male DB9 jacks are present for serial communications these are COM 2 as an RS232 interface and COM 3, which is configurable as either RS232 or RS485 by the BIOS settings. An industry standard DB25 parallel port is also provided. Communication connectors are provided from the main CPU motherboard. Some of the CPU motherboard connectors are available on the Bottom Panel.
Printer Port LPT-1 A 25-pin D-type female printer port (LPT-1) connector is available on the bottom access panel. The port is labeled accordingly. The LPT-1 is a Multi-mode high performance parallel port with base address of 0X0100h-0X0FFCh, 11 IRQ and 4 DMA options. In standard mode it provides bi-directional SPP, in enhanced mode it is EPP V1.7 and EPP V1.9 compatible, and in high-speed mode is ECP, IEEE1284 compliant.
Networking Communications Your military computer has been configured with networking components that enable you to establish new networks or connect to existing networks easily. If you intend to use Microsoft NetBEUI, TCP/IP, or Direct Cable Connection, some minimal setup changes are required before you can use the system for network applications. In Windows systems, these settings are changed using the Network application in the Control Panel program group.
