The SBC8A818 network application board comes with Socket 479 low power Intel Pentium M and Intel Celeron M processors and integrates the latest Intel 3100 chipset and a PCI-Express interface.

New from Axiomtek, the SBC8A818 network application board comes with Socket 479 low power Intel Pentium M and Intel Celeron M processors and integrates the latest Intel 3100 chipset and a PCI-Express interface. This makes it a more reliable and stable processing platform than previous devices. The SBC8A818 fulfils high performance system configuration demands in network applications, industrial server appliances, or other network attachment storage appliances with advanced storage features.

Available with six gigabit Ethernet ports through an advanced PCI Express interface, the embedded board supports fail-over, load sharing and load balancing functions for critical network environments.

In addition to RJ45 Ethernet connectors, this network application board also provides the Mini-GBIC fibre interface which can be selected depending on the customer's requirement.

System memory can support up to 4Gbyte of four DDR II DIMM sockets with register and ECC memory.

The SBC8A818 builds-in the most recent Intel 3100 single integrated chipset which is an integrated system controller with an ECC memory solution in combination with high performance, low power processor to enable SBC8A818 designs in the storage, wireless, wire-line and security market segments.

The board can handle many critical access requirements internally.

This network application board supports a LAN-bypass feature for abnormal status.

It supports different bypass levels with this feature such as power, BIOS boot, OS and application program failures.

In order to provide the best network performance and best utilisation, the SBC8A818 has powerful storage interface; multiple SATA-150 channels are easily compatible with embedded operating systems and third-party application programs through DOM (disk on module) or CompactFlash.

One Mini-PCI slot is available for expansion.

And one PCI-X 64bit/133MHz slot is optional for customer use.

The SBC8A818 can operate in environments from 0 to 60C.

'The SBC8A818 is a low power network application platform with high computing performance', said Philip Wei, Product Manager of Axiomtek's Industrial PC Division.

'The board can definitely simplify network appliance with its highly integrated design'.

'Axiomtek's network application board series is ideal for system integrators, software developers, and manufacturers seeking to reduce time to market'.

'Besides, it supports Linux SDK which can be integrated by system integrator and software developers without any downtime'.

I/O features include RS232, ATA-100, six SATA I channels and two USB 2.0 ports.

The SBC8A818 also offers an optional powered enclosure, which features management functions, including BIOS redirection to console port and more.

These extra features have been implemented so users can keep and manage their data easily.
