Performance - Fujitsu Siemens Computers D1260 User Manual

2.1.2Performance

• UltraPerformance: Onboard Ultra160/Ultra3 dual channel SCSI controller with
two connectors that support 30 Ultra160/Ultra3 SCSI devices in two channels.
• Dual Speeds: CPU frequency can operate at either 133MHz or 100MHz
depending on the CPU installed.
• High-Speed Data Transfer Interface: SCSI transfers using Ultra160/Ultra3
dual channel SCSI controller can handle rates up to 160MB/s or 80MB/s.
Ultra160/Ultra3 is backward compatible with slower SCSI devices so that older
SCSI devices are not wasted. (Ultra160/Ultra3 SCSI cables have twisted pairs
compared to flat ribbon cables used in older SCSI standards.)
• SDRAM Optimized Performance: This motherboard supports PC133
"registered" Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory (SDRAM), which
increases the data transfer rate to 1064MB/s max
• ACPI Ready: ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) is also
implemented on all smart series motherboards. ACPI provides more Energy
Saving Features for future operating systems (OS) supporting OS Direct Power
Management (OSPM) functionality. With these features implemented in the OS,
PCs can be ready around the clock, yet satisfy all the energy saving standards.
To fully utilize the benefits of ACPI, use an ACPI-supported OS, such as Windows
98.
• Compliance: Both the BIOS and hardware levels of the motherboard meet the
stringent requirements for SDG2.0 certification. The new SDG2.0 requirements
for systems and components are based on the following high-level goals: support
for Plug and Play compatibility and power management for configuring and
managing all system components, and 32-bit device drivers and installation
procedures for Windows NT/2000. Color-coded connectors and descriptive icons
make identification easy as required by PC 99.
