General Description
The HS-6253 is a 133MHz FSB VIA VT8606 chipset-based board designed for PCI-ISA Bus VIA C3 800MHz Embedded CPU. These features combine and make the HS-6253 an ideal all-in-one industrial single board computer. Additional features include an enhanced I/O with CRT/Panel, Dual LAN, Audio, and 4 COM ports interfaces.
Its onboard ATA/33/66/100 to IDE drive interface architecture allows the HS-6253 to support data transfers of 33, 66 or 100MB/sec. to one IDE drive connection. Designed with the VIA VT8606 core logic chipset, the board supports VIA C3 800MHz Embedded CPU. The 8606 integrated S3 3D supporting AGP Bus For suitable installation into any size system with 8/16/32-bit ISA and/or PCI slots operation, the board’s advanced PCI-ISA bus add-on feature
allows user to easily obtain both ISA's 16-bit and PCI's 32-bit full set signals from a half size PCI-ISA slot. System memory is also sufficient with the two DIMM sockets that can support up to 1GB.
Additional onboard connectors include an advanced USB and IrDA ports providing faster data transmission, a DOS-compatible DiskOnChip socket with a maximum capacity of 288MB, and two external RJ-45 connectors for 10/100 Based Ethernet use. To ensure the reliability in an unmanned or standalone system, the Watchdog Timer (WDT) onboard HS-6253 is designed with pure hardware that does not need the arithmetical functions of a real-time clock chip. If any program causes unexpected halts to the system, the onboard Watchdog Timer (WDT) will automatically reset the CPU or generate an interrupt to resolve such condition.
