Overview
The Acer Altos G610 server model utilizes a PCI bus based dual-
processor mainboard built on an ATX baseboard. It comes with two
FC-PGA (Flip-Chip Pin-Grip Array) processor sockets that support an
Intel
®
Pentium
®
III processor running at 933 MHz and 1 GHz or an Intel
Pentium III processor running at 512K 1.13 and 1.26 GHz. The processor
is integrated with the Server Works LE III north and south bridge
chipsets. The mainboard also supports the Intel
82559 10/100 Mbps PCI
Ethernet chipset with WOL (Wake on LAN) function for better remote
site management.
For expandability, the mainboard includes four 64 bit/33 MHz PCI bus
slots and two 32 bit/33 MHz PCI bus slots. In addition, the mainboard
supports four DIMM sockets that allow memory installation up to a
maximum of 4 GB using four 1024-MB SDRAM (Synchronous DRAM)
modules.
For connectivity, the mainboard provides two USB (Universal Serial Bus)
connectors, PS/2 interface for both mouse and keyboard and other
standard features such as two UART NS 16C550 serial ports, enhanced
parallel port with Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP)/Extended Capabilities
Port (ECP) support, one RJ-45 network port and one VGA/monitor port.
The system is fully compatible with Windows 2000 Server, Novell
Netware, Red Hat Linux, Windows NT 4.0, and SCO Unixware.
Processors
The Pentium III processor delivers higher performance than previous
Pentium processors while maintaining binary compatibility with all
previous Intel Architecture processors.
The mainboard supports 100 or 133 MHz GTL+ host bus frequencies for
two Pentium III processors running at 933 Mhz and 1 GHz or two Intel
Pentium III processors running at 512K 1.13 and 1.26 GHz and future
generation of Pentium III processors.
