The AP200 is a group server configured on the ASUS P2B-DS/P2B-D smart motherboard which uses the 440BX chipset from Intel and supports two Pentium III/II processors and 100MHz front side bus in order to handle any complicated task.

Dual Intel Pentium III/II processors provide the highest processing performance for your server up to 600MHz.

Four DIMM sockets support up to 1GB EDO or SDRAM modules with ECC.

Intel 440BX AGPset with I/O subsystems and front-side bus platform, which boosts the traditional 66-MHz internal bus speed to 100MHz.

Adaptec AIC-7890 Ultra2 SCSI chipset (optional) provides single channel and supports any combination of 50-pin narrow or 68-pin Wide/ Ultra2 devices through the onboard 50-pin and 68-pin SCSI connectors. Please refer to the SCSI cable limits in the appendix.

Adaptec AIC-3860 transceiver chip enables Ultra2 SCSI and legacy SCSI peripherals to coexist without compromising performance.

AGP slot supports an AGP graphics card for fast hardware 3D acceleratoin.

Three onboard SCSI connectors to independently connect 68-pin Ul- tra2 SCSI devices, 68-pin Fast/Ultra-Wide SCSI devices, or 50-pin Fast/ Ultra-Narrow devices.

Four 32-bit PCI and two 16-bit ISA slots.

Onboard hardware monitor provides information for system and pro- cessor voltages, fan status, temperature, chassis intrusion photo sensor, and provides automatic system restart.

ASUS System Monitoring Agent (ASMA) and Intel LDSM provides server monitoring, management, and control.

RAID Controller (optional): Supports PCI-DA2100A (UW), PCI- DA2200A (U2W), or DA2200B (U2W) to provide fault tolerant storage.
