Industrial Computer Hardware
The AIMB-750 series from Advantech, is claimed to be the first Intel Pentium M/Celeron M processor-based industrial ATX motherboard series with 64-bit PCI-X and 32-bit PCI slots. Featuring high performance and low power, as well as advanced I/O technology, the AIMB-750 is also equipped with an AGP slot, a VGA port and an onboard LVDS connector to support dual display. This makes the AIMB-750 suitable as a cost-effective, performance-oriented solution for data and telecommunications, gaming, and multimedia applications. With its low power feature, it is a perfect fit for space- and power-conscious applications in 1U and 2U compact chassis.
Designed to deliver high performance in industrial computing applications with power consumption savings, AIMB-750 is a full-featured industrial motherboard supporting Socket 479 Intel Pentium M/Celeron M processors with processing speeds of 2,1/1,5 GHz and above, across a 400 MHz front side bus. The AIMB-750 is equipped with the Intel 855GME chipset and the Intel 6300ESB I/O Controller Hub, and supports up to 2 GB of single channel DDR memory and error-correcting code (ECC) to improve reliability and data integrity.
The AIMB-750 features 2 MB L2 cache (Pentium M), twice the cache size of previous models, which significantly increases processing performance. The AIMB-750 also incorporates the integrated VGA controller with onboard LVDS connector and optional DVI port to support dual VGA display, which makes this motherboard especially fitting for ATM or commercial printer applications.
In addition to better performance, the AIMB-750 also provides advanced throughput for video or I/O intensive applications. The AIMB-750 comes with two 64-bit/66 MHz PCI-X slots, four 32-bit/33 MHz PCI slots, four serial ports, and four USB 2.0 ports. Two LAN ports support Gigabit Ethernet connections with Intel controllers via onboard connectors. The AIMB-750 has a two-channel EIDE, and two serial ATA (SATA) interfaces with software SATA RAID, including RAID level 0 and level 1 which provide cost-effective solutions for better expansion capacity and faster data backup. In addition, an optional CompactFlash socket is ready to serve as hard disk to reduce cost and save space.
AIMB-750 has all the required industrial features such as a watchdog timer, long MTBF, CMOS data backup, wide operating temperature range, and long-term support. In addition, a custom BIOS service is available for specific functions. The AIMB-750 is compatible with the SNMP-1000 intelligent management module that allows users to remotely monitor operating conditions over a network, either through a user-friendly web interface or by using SNMP protocol.
