Scsi Subsystem; Lan Subsystem; Expansion Slots; Agp Bus - Acer Altos 600 Series User Manual

• VT82C686A (south bridge) integrates super I/O functions like keyboard and
mouse interface, floppy disk controller, advanced digital data separator, two
compatible serial ports (UARTs), one parallel port, on-chip 12 mA AT bus
drivers, one floppy direct drive support, and Intelligent Power Management
support.

SCSI subsystem

The dual-channel AIC-7899 single-chip host adapter delivers Ultra160/m SCSI
data transfer rates which double the Ultra-2 SCSI data transfer bandwidth of up to
160 MByte/sec. It supports up to 15 devices on a 12-meter cable (or 25 meters in a
point-to-point configuration), making it ideal for both clustering and RAID
configurations.

LAN subsystem

Another cost-effective feature for network solutions is the integration of Intel's
82559 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet controller which supports:
• Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) based power
management capability
• wake on Magic Packet
• wake on interesting packet
• advanced System Management Bus (SMBUS) based manageability
• Wired for Management (WfM) 2.0 compliance
• IP checksum assist
• PCI 2.2 compliance
• PC 98 and PC 99 compliance

Expansion slots

AGP bus

AGP is solely developed for the purpose of supporting 3D graphic applications. It
has a 32-bit wide channel that runs at 66 MHz, which translates into a total
bandwidth of 266 MBps. This is twice the bandwidth of PCI buses (133 MBps).
