AOpen DX2G Plus System Board 1-1

1.1 Features

The AOpen DX2G Plus is a dual-processor system that supports two

Intel Pentium II/III Xeon processors running at 400/450/500/550 MHz

with possible higher frequencies supported in the future. It integrates

the latest multi-processor and I/O technology in the industry to provide

the best performance for workstation users.

AOpen DX2G Plus has been designed to support Intel latest and

highest performance processor, the Pentium II/III Xeon. Like its

predecessors, the Pentium Pro and Pentium II/III processors, the

Pentium II/III Xeon processor implements a Dynamic Execution micro-

architecture - a unique combination of multiple branch prediction, data

flow analysis, and speculative execution. This means that the

Pentium II/III Xeon can deliver higher performance than the Pentium

processor while maintaining binary compatibility with all previous Intel

Architecture processors. Other than that, the Pentium II/III Xeon

processor is available in 512K, 1MB, and 2MB L2 cache options with

the introduction of the Slot 2 socket. Unlike Pentium II/III processors,

which access the L2 cache at half the processor core speed, the

Pentium II/III Xeon processors access the L2 cache at full processor

core speed. DX2G Plus has the design to leverage this benefit to

process workstation applications with large data sets.

1-2System Guide

AOpen DX2G Plus was designed to support 100MHz front side bus

processors to maximize the performance of Pentium II/III Xeon

processors. It also provides 72-bit PC-100 ECC SDRAM DIMM

support to expand both memory bandwidth and data correction to the

limit. With four DIMM sockets, DX2G Plus supports up to 2GB system

memory which is enough for almost all workstation applications and

even more than most Unix workstations.

Keeping in mind that graphics performance is key for workstation

users, AOpen DX2G Plus supports an AGP 1X/2X graphics port so

the graphical data transmission bandwidth can reach up to 533MB/s,

four times higher than that of traditional PCI VGA transmission. With

DX2G Plus, Acer also provides several leading edge professional

graphics solutions for high-end workstation users.

To eliminate the I/O bottleneck common in traditional workstations,

AOpen DX2G Plus has a built-in dual channel Ultra2 SCSI (Small

Computer System Interface) system. This system enables the

throughput of a single channel SCSI bus to reach 80MB/s. Therefore,

the system throughput can reach 160MB/s, four times higher than the

original single channel Ultra-wide SCSI system. This system

especially helps users with large storage data and heavy access

traffics. AOpen DX2G Plus also supports narrow SCSI devices, like

SCSI tape drives, and DAT, by populating a 50-pin fast SCSI

connector on SCSI channel A.

AOpen DX2G Plus is a highly integrated system which tries to

incorporate all workstation users’needs in one system. Besides the

features introduced above, DX2G Plus also integrates the following

features:

•PCI IDE Interface: For IDE devices to be used in the system. This

interface supports Ultra DMA/33 and LS-120.

•USB (Universal Serial Bus): For users USB devices, if any.

•Two UART NS16C550 serial ports and one enhanced parallel

port with Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP)/Extended Capabilities

Port (ECP) support.

AOpen DX2G Plus System Board 1-3

•10/100 Mb/s LAN: For SOHO (Small Office/Home Office) users

to link with network environments. AOpen DX2G Plus also

supports Wake-On-LAN (WOL) and Intel LDCM (LANDesk Client

Manager) for easy management.

AOpen DX2G Plus supports a power-management function that

conforms to the power-saving standards of the U.S. Environmental

Protection Agency (EPA) Energy Star program. It also offers the

Plug-and-Play feature. This feature saves the user from configuration

troubles, thus making the system more user-friendly. For the default

configuration, DX2G Plus is bundled with AOpen Bonus Pack which

includes on board Lan and SCSI drivers, LDCM Utility, Anti-Virus and

detail manual.

The system is fully compatible with major operating systems in the

industry, like Windows NT, Windows 95/98, Novell Netware, Novell

SFT III, SCO Open Server Unix/UnixWare. AOpen also plans to

support Linux and Solaris when related drivers become available.
