Advantech's new PCM-9578 is a Socket 370 SBC designed with
customer needs in mind. With the ability to accept Celeron
or PentiumIII/ 512K processors up to 1.26GHz, and supply 3
or 4 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports, the PCM-9578 is right at
home in any network environment. The PCM-9578 can be used
as a triple Ethernet firewall/DMZ device or a four Ethernet
port device that allows centralized management of a Secure
Virtual Network, including firewall security and VPNs or PCI
add-on cards for encryption acceleration. Applied in any network
environment or in a stand-alone chassis supplied by Advantech,
the PCM-9578 has the processing power and reliability to handle
your mission critical, high availability applications.
Compact,
yet Powerful
The PCM-9578 is of course a powerful, compact, full featured
(5.75" x 8") SBC that can be used in a multitude of embedded
applications. However, certain features make it especially
attractive for network administration. An optional LAN3, LAN4
bypass function makes sure customer network connections are
maintained even in the unlikely event of board failure. VGA/LCD
is unnecessary for many network applications. With the available
COM port, administrators can simply connect a PC (console)
for configuration. Scalable Ethernet lets users pay only for
the Ethernet capacity they need. Order
triple or quadruple Intel® 10/100 Mbps 82559ER controllers.
And
the LAN3-LAN4 redirection function is managed via the aforementioned
serial port-connected PC console.The
PCM-9578 offers GPIO support with 8-bit general-purpose, programmable
Input/Output control.
Cool
Options The
PCM-9578 sports three fan connectors–one for the CPU
fan, and two for system fans. And there is a fan status LED
connector as well; if any fan fails, the LED lights up.
