American Megatrends Releases MegaDual To Market.ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 12, 1999-- American MegaTrends: Editorial Summary -- AMI releases MegaDual(TM),a Dual Pentium III Slot 1 motherboard with CPUs @ 133 MHz FSB (FrontSide Bus) See system bus. FSB - front side bus . -- MegaDual is the ideal server motherboard solution for departmental environments. American Megatrends Inc. (AMI), an industry leader in supplying multiprocessor server motherboards and basic server solutions, today announced the release of MegaDual(TM), a Dual Pentium(R) III Slot 1 motherboard with CPUs @ 133 MHz Front Side Bus (FSB). "The high performance and state-of-the-art manageability features available with MegaDual make it ideal for Solutions Integrators whose customers demand only the best in high-speed processor motherboards," said Howard Johnston, Director of Channel Sales and Marketing at AMI. MegaDual, an ideal server motherboard solution for departmental environments, supports up to 4 GB of on-board ECC (1) (Error-Correcting Code) A type of memory that corrects errors on the fly. See ECC memory. (2) (Elliptic Curve Cryptography) A public key cryptography method that provides fast decryption and digital signature processing. SDRAM (Synchronous DRAM) A type of dynamic RAM (DRAM) memory chip that has been widely used since the late 1990s. SDRAM chips eliminated wait states by dividing the chip into two cell blocks and interleaving data between them. system memory. Featuring six PCI slots (two 64-bit, 66 MHz), on-board dual channel 160/m SCSI SCSI in full Small Computer System Interface Once common standard for connecting peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, etc.) to small and medium-sized computers. SCSI has given way to faster standards, such as Firewire and USB. and on-board Wake-on-LAN support, the MegaDual also includes an Intel(R) 840 chipset, two peer-to-peer PCI buses, one 32-bit PCI bus @ 33 MHz, one 64-bit PCI (1) (Payment Card Industry) See PCI DSS. (2) (Peripheral Component Interconnect) The most widely used I/O bus (peripheral bus). @ 66 MHz and an AGP PRO 4X connector. MegaDual's system slots total seven, including one AGP Pro, four 32-bit PCI at 33 MHz and two 64-bit PCI at 66 MHz. It can also be integrated in standard extended ATX cases. MegaDual supports AMI's MegaRAID(R) Express 000 upgrade card, which enables two on-board SCSI channels to be converted to high-performance RAID channels. The zero-channel controller has the lowest cost migration to RAID without duplicating or losing existing resources and can use standard AMI MegaRAID drivers and utilities. MegaDual's server management features include GP NVRAM (Non-Volatile RAM) May refer to dynamic RAM (DRAM) and static RAM (SRAM) chips that are backed up by a battery or to non-volatile chips such as flash memory. See non-volatile memory, dynamic RAM, static RAM and solid state disk. , server management hardware and software. GP NVRAM features BIOS post code, system boot, event logs, CPU CPU in full central processing unit Principal component of a digital computer, composed of a control unit, an instruction-decoding unit, and an arithmetic-logic unit. temperature, FAN and ECC history and chassis fan and temperature history. Hardware includes a SMBus controller embedded in ICH, a Watchdog Timer, one LM78 controller and support for AMI's MegaRAC(TM). Software includes AMI Server Manager(TM) (ASM) and AMI Desktop Client Manager(TM) (ADCM ADCM Assistant Division Commander Maneuver ADCM Associate Director for Chemistry and Materials ADCM Activation-Decision-Construction Model ADCM Archbishop's Diploma in Church Music ADCM Assistant Division Commander for Manpower ADCM Absolute Deviation from Class Median ) for Windows(R) NT(R) Server Management, AMI's Supervisor(TM) for WEB-based management and MegaDual's SNMP Agent.
