Embedded CPU:  

ALi M6117D is an implementation of an 

INTEL compatible 386SX-40 CPU, realtime 
clock, a watchdog timer and ALi’s M1217B 
chipset 

#"

BIOS: 

Y2K compliant AMI system BIOS 

#"

Onboard Memory: 

4MB EDO RAM (Bank0) 

#"

DRAM Memory: 

1 x 72-pin SIMM socket (single side type) 

supporting up to 16MB EDO RAM 

#"

Bus Interface: 

ISA and PC/104 

#"

Data Bus: 

16-bit 

#"

Bus Speed: 

PC/104 - 8 MHz 
(Above values are defaults, bus speeds are 
programmable up to 16MHz) 

#"

DMA Channels:

 7 

#"

Interrupt Levels:

 15 

#"

Enhanced IDE:

  supports one port and up to two enhanced 

IDE (AT Bus) hard drives 

#"

Watchdog Timer:

 

generates a RESET, NMI or an IRQ when 
your application loses control over the 

system. Optionally the watchdog can 
trigger a user-specified interrupt. The 
watchdog is configurable from 30.5

μ

s to 

512 seconds (in 30.5

μ

s segments) 

#"

Real-time Clock:

 

included in M6117D with onboard lithium 
battery backup for 10 years of data 

retention. CMOS data backup of BIOS 
setup and BIOS default.
