Specifications

Processor Intel® Pentium® 4 processor at 2.4GHz. The Pentium 4 processor supports a 400/533MHz system bus as well as Intel’s NetBurst™ micro-architecture. Both features combine to provide optimum system performance and fast program execution in a PCI/ISA single board computer. Some of the processor features that enable such performance enhancements are: • Hyper-Pipelined technology • Streaming SIMD Extensions 2 (SSE2)• Advanced Dynamic Execution • 512K Advanced Transfer Cache (L2)• Execution Trace Cache that stores up to 12K of micro-operations and an 8K Data Cache (L1) Intel's Hyper-Threading technology makes the Pentium 4, 3.06GHz processor appear as two logical processors. The operating system and application must be optimized for Hyper-Threading. This feature delivers faster program execution by enabling simultaneous instruction processing using the two logical processors.
Cache Memory (L2 and L1) The Pentium 4 processor supports a 512K integrated on-die Advanced Transfer Cache (L2). The cache is an 8-way set associative cache running at full processor core frequency. It include a 12K level one (L1) Execution Trace Cache and 8K L1 data cache.
Chipset he chipset supports a 400/533MHz system bus, a maximum of two double-sided DIMMs with unbuffered DDR 200/266 (PC1600/PC2100) memory with ECC and a 266MB/s Hub Interface to the ICH4 I/O Controller.
Ultra 160 SCSI Interface The Ultra160 SCSI interface uses an Adaptec AIC-7892 SCSI controller chip and supports SCSI device data transfer operations up to 160MB/s. The interface supports up to 15 SCSI devices, complies with the SPI-3 standard and is compatible with both single-ended and Low Voltage Differential (LVD) SCSI I/O. Software drivers are available for most popular operating systems.
Dual Ethernet Interfaces LAN 1 provides a 10/100Base-T Ethernet interface using Intel’s 82562ET Platform LAN Connect device and the ICH4 I/O Controller Hub. The 82562/ICH4 combination provides high-speed data transfers while offloading communication tasks from the system CPU. LAN 2 supports both 10/100Base-T and 1Gigabit Ethernet interfaces via Intel’s 82540 controller.
EIDE Ultra ATA/100 Interfaces (Dual) Dual high-performance PCI EIDE interfaces are capable of supporting up to two IDE disk drives each in a master/slave configuration. The interfaces support Ultra ATA/100 with synchronous ATA mode transfers up to 100MB per second.
DDR200/266 Memory The DDR200/266 interface is a single-channel interface coming off the Memory Controller hub and terminating at two DIMM module sockets. The DIMM sockets can be independently populated with either PC1600 or PC2100 unbuffered memory modules with ECC. The memory interface supports auto detection of memory up to 2GB. Depending on the processor’s system bus speed and which memory module type is used, the memory interface bandwidth is either 1600MB/s or 2100MB/s.
BUS Speeds ISA — 16-bit/8MHz
  PCI — 32-bit/33MHz
  Hub Interface — 266MB/s
  System or FSB — 400MHz/533MHz
BIOS (Flash) The OSS-SBC-P4 uses AMIBIOS8. The flash BIOS resides in the 82802 Firmware Hub (FWH). AMIBIOS8 contains useful features such as: • CMOS setup for system parameters • Peripheral management for configuring on-board peripherals • PCI-to-PCI bridge support and PCI interrupt steering • Support for flash devices for BIOS upgrading via floppy interface. Some of the new AMIBIOS8 features supported on the OSS-SBC-P4 include: • Integrated support for USB mass storage devices such as USB CD-ROM, CD-RW, etc. • Faster POST execution • Improved BIOS code modularity which streamlines the BIOS customization process while offering a higher degree of BIOS customization.
Super XGA Interface The Intel 69030 video controller has 4MB of on-chip memory and supports up to 1280 x 1024 pixel resolutions. Software drivers are available for most popular operating systems.
Additional T4I Features
System Hardware Monitor • The Winbond W83783S chip supports hardware monitoring.The functions monitored are: -Voltage: +3.3V, +/-12V, +5V and VCORE — Fan speed -Temperature
  • The OSS-SBC-P4 hardware monitor driver allows the user to program the monitor limits to provide a trigger point for the application software. The user’s application program can monitor these trigger points in order to send system alert messages or perform corrective actions.
Watchdog Timer • The programmable watchdog timer provides a system reset with a total range of 30ms to 60 seconds. The programmable increments of the watchdog are 30ms, 10s and 60s.

Application Considerations
Power Requirements (Typical Values) Pentium 4: CPU +5V* +12V** +3.3V*
  2.0GHz/400MHz 4.00A 3.38A 2.75A
  -12V* @ <100mA
  *From Backplane via PICMG® Connector
  ** From ATX12V power supply or equivalent via P4 connector/ The processor’s power requirements created the need for an additional on-board 4-pin power connector (P4). This connector requires +12V from an external power supply that conforms to the ATX12V power certification. This external power supply should have a minimum wattage rating of at least 250W. The OSS-SBC-P4 also requires that 3.3V be applied to the backplane from the power supply.
Operating Temperature 0° to 45° C.
Storage Temperature -40° to 70° C.
Humidity 5% to 90% non-condensing
  The high-performance Pentium 4 processor can consume as much as 70 Watts of power. The OSS-SBC-P4’s cooling system uses a high-reliability fan mounted to the SBC.
Mechanical: Low-profile (1.65" height) active cooling system. Overall dimensions including the active cooling system are 13.3"L (338mm) x 4.8"H (121.9mm) x 1.65"W (49.1mm).
