Taipei, Taiwan (Jan. 28, 2008) -- AEON (TAIEX: 2463), a leading Industrial PC manufacturer, announces the debut of a high performance full-size Single Board Computer, the FSB-960H. AAEON has developed this full-size SBC based on the latest Intel Q35 Express chipset and the Intel Core 2 Duo processor, to fulfill the increasing demands of multi-core processing.

The FSB-960H adopts Intel’s dual-core processor at current speeds up to 3GHz with FSB 1333MHz to meet a wide range of performance requirements.  In a PICMG 1.3 SHB Express form factor the FSB-960H system host board takes full advantage of the Intel Q35 Express chipset for enhanced system performance and generous expansion capabilities.  Considerable bandwidth is available with point-to-point serial PCI Express via 〔x16〕and〔x4〕interfaces. Maximizing the available PCI Express channels offers the greatest flexibility to today’s demanding I/O requirements. Two DIMM slots of dual channel DDR II 800 RAM provide ample memory bus bandwidth for demanding applications.  The FSB-960H has been designed for users that require high performance and reliability for critical applications. 

“FSB-960H is a product with cutting-edge technology and shows the capability and scalability that AAEON possesses.  The combination of the latest high performance processor, memory, and bus technologies helps to complete tasks faster and reveals high performance in data processing.  It is the ideal choice for today’s complex applications,“ noted Michael Wang, AAEON’s Director of Industrial System Division.

“Highly complex, embedded applications that require outstanding security and manageability will benefit from high performance SBCs, such as the AAEON FSB-960H, utilizing the combination of the Intel Core2 processor with the Intel Q35 Express chipset,” said Joe Jensen, general manager of Intel’s Embedded Market Division.

The FSB-960H offers up to 11 USB2.0 ports through onboard connectors and out to the backplane via the card edge connector. Legacy connectors such as Mini-DIN PS/2 keyboard & mouse connector, one IrDA header and one standard Floppy Disk Drive are onboard.  Storage needs are met with support of four SATA II with RAID functionality and a CompactFlash Type II socket capable of supporting bootable flash devices.  The versatile expansion interfaces make the FSB-960H flexible enough to fulfill various application demands. 

The design of FSB-960H caters to multi-task processing application demands.  It targets the applications of industrial automation, process control, surveillance system, multi-media processing and the like.  FSB-960H is a stellar solution for your critical applications.
