SUPERMICRO Breaks Industry's Record With the Introduction of 11 New Motherboards.SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 15, 1998--SUPERMICRO, a high-end server solution provider, today announces a new generation of 11 motherboards based on Intel's latest 440BX and 440EX chipsets. Feature packed for high-end server applications, SUPERMICRO's SUPER P6DBH DBH - Denis Howe , P6DBS (Direct Broadcast Satellite) A one-way TV broadcast service from a communications satellite to a small round or oval dish antenna no larger than 20" in diameter. , P6DBE DBE abbr. Dame Commander of the British Empire DBE Dame (Commander of the Order) of the British Empire , P6SBS See Small Business Server. , P6SBA SBA abbr. Small Business Administration Noun 1. SBA - an independent agency of the United States government that protects the interests of small businesses and ensures that they receive a fair share of government , P6SBU, and P6DBF are all running reliably at the new systems bus speed of 100 MHz. Yet another technology advancement from Intel, the new 100 MHz systems bus speed allows qualified motherboards to accommodate the most current processor of 400 MHz Pentium II or higher. SUPERMICRO's cooperation with Intel for early development of new technology standards ensures stability and compatibility in the entire SUPERMICRO product line. Developed by a team of highly experienced engineers, this new family of 440BX motherboards, offers such features as I2O-Ready, Ultra II Wide SCSI, Accelerated Graphics Port See AGP. (hardware, graphics) Accelerated Graphics Port - (AGP) A bus specification by Intel which gives low-cost 3D graphics cards faster access to main memory on personal computers than the usual PCI bus. (AGP), PC 98-Ready, Advanced Configuration and Power Interface See ACPI. (hardware, standard) Advanced Configuration and Power Interface - (ACPI) An open industry standard developed by Intel, Microsoft, and Toshiba for configuration and power management. (ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) A power management specification developed by Intel, Toshiba and Microsoft that makes hardware status information available to the operating system. ), unbuffered SDRAMs and registered DIMMs, Universal Serial Bus See USB. (hardware, standard) Universal Serial Bus - (USB) An external peripheral interface standard for communication between a computer and external peripherals over an inexpensive cable using biserial transmission. (USB USB in full Universal Serial Bus Type of serial bus that allows peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, digitizers, data gloves, etc.) to be easily connected to a computer. ), and Wake-on-LAN, to name just a few. SUPERMICRO, the first motherboard manufacturer in the world to announce and provide an I2O-Ready motherboard, continues this technology standard in its 440BX chipset motherboard series with SUPER P6DBH. I2O is a standard to off-load the I/O functions from the 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. , creating a direct I/O pipeline that no longer interrupts the host processors. "Our continued collaboration with industry leaders such as Intel and Adaptec, to develop future generation of technologies and architectures have enabled us to break from the average mold of a motherboard manufacturer," said Charles Liang, president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of SUPERMICRO. "We are able to offer our customers truly innovative products such as the I2O-Ready motherboards." SUPERMICRO's commitment to the development and use of I2O, since the technology has been available, not only provides for innovative technological products, but it also gives their customers a source of cost effective I/O solution for the high-end server environment. Another first in the industry is SUPERMICRO's incorporation of the Adaptec 7895 Dual Channel Ultra Wide SCSI and RAIDport(TM) technology to SUPER P6DBS and P6SBS, allowing data transfer rate of up to 80 MB/sec. With the Adaptec 7895 chip on board, the cost of ownership is lowered to allow for cost effectiveness in a high-end server solution. To meet the performance platform needs of different market segments, SUPERMICRO includes the 440EX chipset motherboards targeted at the home PC segment to be used with the Celeron(TM) -- the latest Intel cost effective processor with MMX technology. SUPERMICRO'S SUPER P6SEA, P6SEB, and P6SEM are ideal for high-end home PC's, having incorporated the latest technology: AGP, PC 98, USB, and Ultra DMA 33 MB/s. As the two newest technologies, AGP support fulfills advanced graphics and 3D multimedia needs, while PC 98-Ready enables support of Microsoft's OnNow, slow blinking LED for sleep-state indicator, BIOS support for USB keyboard, real time clock wake-up alarm, main switch override mechanism and external modem ring-on if system is in SoftOff state. Completing the different market segment requirements, SUPERMICRO has included its SUPER P5AGPV1 as an entry level Socket 7 AGP solution.
