WIN Enterprises Announces AMD Opteron(TM) Processor-based PICMG 1.3 SHB Express; Dual-core, Form Factor System Host Board (SHB) Provides Fast I/O for Demanding Applications While Protecting Legacy Software Investments.NORTH ANDOVER North Andover (ăn`dōvər), town (1990 pop. 22,792), Essex co., NE Mass., on the Merrimack River, in a dairy and farm area; settled c.1644, set off from Andover and inc. 1855. , Mass. -- WIN Enterprises, Inc., a leading designer and manufacturer of embedded controllers and platforms for OEMs, announces a full-size PICMG An industry consortium that develops specifications for backplanes and interconnects for electronic equipment in the industrial and telecom fields. It was founded in 1994 as the PCI Industrial Computer Manufacturers Group, hence the acronym. 1.3 form-factor design powered by the AMD (Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., Sunnyvale, CA, www.amd.com) A major manufacturer of semiconductor devices including x86-compatible CPUs, embedded processors, flash memories, programmable logic devices and networking chips. Opteron(TM) processor that enables both 32- and 64-bit computing, protecting legacy software investments as organizations upgrade to true 64-bit applications at their own pace. The MB-06049 features passive backplane A backplane that adds no processing in the circuit. See backplane. systems design with plug-in high performance for some of the most demanding environments, including industrial automation, military, medical and telecom. WIN's MB-06049 PICMG 1.3 SHB SHB Svenska Handelsbanken (Swedish bank) SHB System Host Board (PCI Industrial Computer Manufacturers Group standard) SHB Strictly Hard Bean (coffee) SHB Saudi Hollandi Bank also features the NVIDIA nForce Professional 2200 chipset. A HyperTransport(TM) interconnect system provides leading-edge I/O (Input/Output) The transfer of data between the CPU and a peripheral device. Every transfer is an output from one device and an input to another. See PC input/output. I/O - Input/Output by enabling the additional integration of one or two dual-core processors on stackable boards. A 20-lane PCI Express A high-speed peripheral interconnect from Intel introduced in 2002. Note that although sometimes abbreviated "PCX," PCI Express is not the same as "PCI-X" (see PCI-SIG and PCI-X for comparison). As a result of the confusion, "PCI-E" or "PCIe" is the accepted abbreviation. slot is also featured. Additional Features: --Supports full range of AMD Opteron processors, low to high power (30/55/95 W) --Single or dual-core cpu --Leading-edge, stackable HyperTransport interconnect system enables quad-core designs --NVIDIA nForce Professional 2200 chipset designed for AMD Opteron --2 memory slots with up to 8GB; 2 additional slots with an optional cpu adapter card yields total of 16 GB memory --Standard IDE interface --4X SATA (Serial ATA) A serial version of the ATA (IDE) interface, which has been the de facto standard hard disk interface for desktop PCs for more than two decades. The original Parallel ATA (PATA) interface was launched in 1986. with RAID, 1gbE, and four 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. 2.0 --Supports Linux Debian 64 and Windows XP 32- and 64-bit operating systems "Providing a high performance, easily upgradeable design based on the AMD Opteron processor enables WIN to fulfill the mission of PICMG 1.3," said Bill Cronin, Vice President, Sales and Marketing of WIN Enterprises. "The idea is to limit the risk to the end-user organization. By supporting 32- and 64-bit applications at the same time, the WIN MB-06049 helps further this mission." "WIN is taking an enterprise-class approach to providing their customers in high-end embedded markets with a standardized board and then taking it a step further with leading-edge AMD64 technology," said David Rich, director of 64-bit embedded markets at AMD. "By adhering to the standards of PICMG 1.3 and also incorporating the future-proof capabilities of AMD64, WIN's customers are poised to take advantage of multiple industry standards in their embedded systems. Simple upgrades to multi-core and wide-ranging operating system and application support can broaden the market for their designs.
