Section 1 – SBP-205 Features
Overview of the SBP-205
Processor and Memory
The SBP-205 is a single board computer (SBC) designed to support a single
Pentium®III processor with the following features:
Operating speeds up to 1GHz
Integrated 256 KB cache.
On-board 64-bit path memory supports up to 512MB of total memory
in two 168-pin DIMM sockets.
Bus Architecture
The SBP-205 is fully ISA and PCI Local Bus compatible. The PCI Local Bus is fully
compliant with the PCI Local Bus 2.1 specifications.
Peripheral Support
The SBP-205 supports a full complement of peripherals including:
Diskette/EIDE (up to four EIDE drives and two diskette drives)
Two serial ports
One parallel port
One PS/2 keyboard
One PS/2 mouse
Two USB ports
Operating System Compatibility
The SBP-205 is fully compatible with numerous operating systems including:
MS-DOS™ , Windows 98™ and Windows NT/2000™
OS/2
SCO UNIX™ , Interactive UNIX™ , QNX™
Linux
System Integration
The SBP-205 smoothly integrates with a CSS Laboratories passive backplane and
with the MaxPro tower servers and a number of ProRack rackmount systems.

Cache Memory
The SBP-205 provides an internal 64-bit wide, non-blocking, second level (L2)
cache supporting 256KB running at full CPU speed. The cache modules are inside
the CPUs, and provide 32KB of first level (L1) cache.
Voltage Regulators
The nine voltage regulators mounted on the SBP-205 provide compatibility with a
full line of processors.

•CSS Laboratories Section 1 – SBP-205 Features •3
Microprocessor
The SBP-205 supports a single Pentium III® processor operating at speeds up to
1GHz. The processor features include:
Dynamic Execution performance with Multiple Branch Prediction,
Data Flow Analysis and Speculative Execution.
Multi-transaction system bus.
Dual Independent Bus Architecture, which allows data access from
either bus simultaneously or in parallel.
Intel™ MMX multimedia technology.
32KB (16KB/16KB) non-blocking, L1 cache.
66/100/133 MHz bus speed.
Error correction, fault analysis, recovery and functional redundancy
checking for both system and L2 cache busses.
