Overview

The Acer Altos G610 server model utilizes a PCI bus based dual- processor mainboard built on an ATX baseboard. It comes with two FC-PGA (Flip-Chip Pin-Grip Array) processor sockets that support an Intel® Pentium® III processor running at 933 MHz and 1 GHz or an Intel Pentium III processor running at 512K 1.13 and 1.26 GHz. The processor is integrated with the Server Works LE III north and south bridge chipsets. The mainboard also supports the Intel 82559 10/100 Mbps PCI Ethernet chipset with WOL (Wake on LAN) function for better remote site management.

For expandability, the mainboard includes four 64 bit/33 MHz PCI bus slots and two 32 bit/33 MHz PCI bus slots. In addition, the mainboard supports four DIMM sockets that allow memory installation up to a maximum of 4 GB using four 1024-MB SDRAM (Synchronous DRAM) modules.

For connectivity, the mainboard provides two USB (Universal Serial Bus) connectors, PS/2 interface for both mouse and keyboard and other standard features such as two UART NS 16C550 serial ports, enhanced parallel port with Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP)/Extended Capabilities Port (ECP) support, one RJ-45 network port and one VGA/monitor port.

The system is fully compatible with Windows 2000 Server, Novell Netware, Red Hat Linux, Windows NT 4.0, and SCO Unixware.

Processors

The Pentium III processor delivers higher performance than previous Pentium processors while maintaining binary compatibility with all previous Intel Architecture processors.

The mainboard supports 100 or 133 MHz GTL+ host bus frequencies for two Pentium III processors running at 933 Mhz and 1 GHz or two Intel Pentium III processors running at 512K 1.13 and 1.26 GHz and future generation of Pentium III processors.
