I-BUS ANNOUNCES THE IBC 2602
PENTIUM III PERIPHERAL MASTER CPU BOARD

I-Bus announces the launch of their new IBC 2602, 6U Single Slot CompactPCI Peripheral Master CPU. The IBC 2602 is designed to deliver the high performance and bandwidth demanded by many of today's Telecom, Internet and industrial control applications.

The CPU delivers PIII performance, remaining affordable through the utilization of the Intel 440 BX chipset and cost-effective SDRAM. The IBC 2602 supports Mobile Intel Pentium III processors operating up to 700MHz. Program and data storage needs are met with support for up to 512 Mbytes of SDRAM and 128+ Mbytes of CompactFlash.
Additional features include dual 10/100 Base-TX Ethernet, PMC expansion and AGP Video. Also supported is the full set of standard PC peripherals including Ultra DMA IDE, 1.44 Mbyte floppy, USB, RS-232 serial ports, parallel port, mouse and keyboard. Other features include serial port console redirection, battery backed real-time clock, CPU temperature monitor, and watchdog timer.

"Our customers continue higher performance and bandwidth, and we are committed to bringing to market the latest technologies available to meet these demands. The IBC 2602 is a cutting edge CPU that builds on a feature-rich set of peripherals," stated Gordon Edmonds, Director of Board Development at I-Bus.

The computing core if the IBC 2602 is based around the Intel uPGA socket processor family and the Intel 440BX chipset. The uPGA socket affords full scalability on the IBC2602 from a Mobile Pentium III 500MHz, to a high performance Mobile PIII with 700MHz. The low power of the Mobile PIII allows the IBC 2602 to fit in a single slot and consume significantly less power than the standard desktop processors. An Intel 21554 industry standard non-transparent bridge allows the IBC 2602 to be used as a Peripheral Master.
As a Peripheral Master, up to seven IBC 2602's can reside in a CompactPCI system. This CPU meets and exceeds the demands of high performance servers in telecommunications and Internet applications.

The IBC 2602 offers a rich set of I/O and system peripherals including PMC, CompactFlash and 64-bit AGP video. The PMC expansion allows for additional I/O such as Ultra-SCSI or Fiber Channel technology support. Which up to 128 Mbytes of CompactFlash and a field re-programmable BIOS in flash, boards may be configured without rotating media and still run disk-intensive applications such as Windows NT. For applications or development that require an IDE drive, the IBC offers a mezzanine IDE board.
