The AIMB-750 series is billed as the first Intel Pentium M/Celeron M processor-based industrial ATX motherboard series with 64bit PCI-X and 32bit PCI slots.

New from Advantech, the AIMB-750 series is billed as the first Intel Pentium M/Celeron M processor-based industrial ATX motherboard series with 64bit PCI-X and 32bit PCI slots.

Featuring high performance and low power as well as advanced I/O technology, the AIMB-750 is also equipped with an AGP slot, a VGA port and an onboard LVDS connector to support dual display, making it an ideal cost-effective, performance-oriented solution for data and telecommunications, gaming and multimedia applications.

With low power feature, it is a perfect fit for space-and power-conscious applications in 1 and 2U chassis for better streamlined and efficient cooling system.

Designed to deliver high performance in industrial computing applications with excellent power consumption savings, AIMB-740 is a fully featured industrial motherboard supporting socket 479 Intel Pentium M/Celeron M processors with processing speeds of 2.1/1.5GHz and above across a 400MHz front side bus.

Equipped with Intel 855GME chipset and Intel 6300ESB I/O controller hub, the AIMB-750 supports up to 2Gbyte of single channel DDR memory with an error-correcting code (ECC) function that improves reliability along with data integrity.

In addition, the AIMB-750 is compatible with the 2Mbyte L2 cache Pentium M, double that of previous models, which significantly increases processing performance.

The AIMB-750 also incorporates the integrated VGA controller with onboard LVDS connector and optional DVI port to support dual VGA display, which make the AIMB-750 especially fitting for ATM or commercial printer applications.

In addition to better performance, the AIMB-750 also provides advanced throughput for video or I/O intensive applications.

The AIMB-750 comes with two 64bit/66MHz PCI-X slots, four 32bit/33MHz PCI slots, four serial ports and four USB 2.0 ports.

Better still, the AIMB-750 offers excellent connectivity and reliability.

Two LAN ports both support gigabit Ethernet connections with Intel controllers via two onboard connectors.

The AIMB-750 has a two-channel EIDE, and two serial ATA (SATA) interfaces with software SATA RAID, including RAID level 0 and level 1 which provide cost-effective solutions for better expansion capacity and faster data backup.

In addition, an optional CompactFlash socket is ready to serve as hard disk to bring down cost and save space.

The AIMB-750 has all the required industrial features such as a watchdog timer, long MTBF, CMOS data backup, wide operating temperature range and long-term support.

In addition, a custom BIOS service is available for specific functions.

The AIMB-750 is compatible with Advantech's SNMP-1000 intelligent management module.

The SNMP intelligent system management module allows users to remotely monitor operating conditions over a network, either through a user-friendly web interface or by using SNMP protocol.

Designed with system compatibility considerations, the AIMB-750 features excellent scalability that enables customers to build powerful solutions with Advantch's 1, 2, 4, 5 and 7U rack and wall-mounting chassis for mission-critical applications.
