Overview
The Acer Altos G610 server model is a PCI bus based dual processor
system board built on an extended ATX baseboard. It comes with two
socket 370 processor slots utilizing two Intel
®
Pentium
®
III processors
integrated with the Server Works LE north and OSB4 south bridge
chipsets. The dual channel SCSI architecture supports Ultra160 SCSI
with bandwidth of up to 160 MB/s for each channel. The system board
also integrates the Intel
®
82559 10/100 Mbps PCI Ethernet chipset that
supports WOL (Wake on LAN) for better remote site management.
For expandability, the system board includes four 64-bit/33 MHz PCI
bus slots, two 32-bit/33 MHz PCI bus slots, and four DIMM slots that
allows memory installation to a maximum of 4-GB using four 1024-MB
SDRAM (Synchronous DRAM) modules.
For connectivity, the system board supports two USB (Universal Serial
Bus) connectors, PS/2 interface for both mouse and keyboard, a video
port and other standard features such as two UART NS16C550 serial
ports, one enhanced parallel port with Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP)/
Extended Capabilities Port (ECP) support, a diskette drive interface,
and two embedded hard disk interfaces.
The system is fully compatible with MS-DOS V6.X, Novell Netware,
Novell, SCO UNIX Openserver, SCO Unixware, Linux, Sun Solaris,
Windows NT 4.0, and Windows 2000
Processors
The Pentium III processor implements Dynamic Execution performance,
a multi-transaction system bus, and Intel MMX media enhancement
technology. Also, it offers Streaming SIMD (Single Instruction Multiple
Data) Extensions - 70 new instructions enabling advanced imaging, 3D,
streaming audio and video, and speech recognition applications. The
Pentium III processor delivers higher performance than previous
Pentium processors while maintaining binary compatibility with all
previous Intel Architecture processors.
This system board supports 100 or 133 MHz GTL+ host bus frequencies
for Pentium III processors running at 600 to 866 MHz, and future
generations of Pentium processors, too.
