1-3. Features
The AP200 is a group server configured on the ASUS P2B-DS/P2B-D smart
motherboard which uses the 440BX chipset from Intel and supports two
Pentium III/II processors and 100MHz front side bus in order to handle any
complicated task.
• Dual Intel Pentium III/II processors provide the highest processing
performance for your server up to 600MHz.
• Four DIMM sockets support up to 1GB EDO or SDRAM modules
with ECC.
• Intel 440BX AGPset with I/O subsystems and front-side bus platform,
which boosts the traditional 66-MHz internal bus speed to 100MHz.
• Adaptec AIC-7890 Ultra2 SCSI chipset (optional) provides single
channel and supports any combination of 50-pin narrow or 68-pin Wide/
Ultra2 devices through the onboard 50-pin and 68-pin SCSI connectors.
Please refer to the SCSI cable limits in the appendix.
• Adaptec AIC-3860 transceiver chip enables Ultra2 SCSI and legacy
SCSI peripherals to coexist without compromising performance.
• AGP slot supports an AGP graphics card for fast hardware 3D
acceleratoin.
• Three onboard SCSI connectors to independently connect 68-pin Ul-
tra2 SCSI devices, 68-pin Fast/Ultra-Wide SCSI devices, or 50-pin Fast/
Ultra-Narrow devices.
• Four 32-bit PCI and two 16-bit ISA slots.
• Onboard hardware monitor provides information for system and pro-
cessor voltages, fan status, temperature, chassis intrusion photo sensor,
and provides automatic system restart.
• ASUS System Monitoring Agent (ASMA) and Intel LDSM provides
server monitoring, management, and control.
• RAID Controller (optional): Supports PCI-DA2100A (UW), PCI-
DA2200A (U2W), or DA2200B (U2W) to provide fault tolerant storage.
