1.1 Introduction
The IAC-F845 Series is a Pentium 4 PICMG Single Board Computer specifically designed for 478-pin socket
Pentium 4 processor, AGP graphic, two 10/100Base-TX Ethernets. This makes the IAC-F845 Series a perfect
solution for not only popular networking devices like Firewall, Gateway, and e-Server, but also CTI (Computer
Telephony Integration) equipments such as PBX, Digital Logger, etc.
IAC-F845, powered by Intel advanced 845 chipset, and supports 478-pin socket Intel Pentium 4 processor. It
supports Ultra DMA-33/66/100 for faster hard drive transmission speeds and contains health monitor hardware.
The special designed heat sink and cooling fan makes IAC-F845 suitable for industrial standard 1U chassis
without any thermal problem. Featured with 400MHz FSB (Front-Side-Bus), the IAC-F845 is also capable of
providing 3 x the bandwidth than traditional Intel Pentium III platform.
Besides it’s outstanding bandwidth and processing capability, the incorporated ATI Rage 128Ultra GL with 4 x
AGP and 32MB video memory provides IAC-F845 with the highest VGA performance available in the market.
The IAC-F845 is also proved to be the most reliable and stable networking platform with the on-board server
level dual Intel 82559 chips.
In addition, IAC-F845 features two IDE ports, one FDD port, two COM ports with one selectable
RS-232/422/485 and one multi-mode parallel port allows for more devices support and more flexibility. Other
standard features include one socket for DiskOnChip, two USB headers and one IrDA header. IAC-F845 has
also incorporated Watchdog Timer that allows for monitoring ability to ensure system stability.
IAC-F845 Series is a high power & full engine Single Board Computer CPU card, carefully designed to be a
feature-rich SBC CPU card at a reasonable price, this board elegantly meets industry needs and saves time and
money by waiving the hassle of going through the extra effort and cost of additional I/O cards. Being
standards-compliant, it is proved to be a quality product with high performance and stability in a long run.
