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.
