Introduction
ROBO-8712E series, the enhanced model of ROBO-8712VLA supports both
Northwood and Prescott core processor, and this allows users adopt the most
economic processor based on their own application. More than that, ROBO-8712E
series also supports Mobile Intel® Pentium® 4-M & Mobile Celeron processor.
Maximum TDP (Thermal Design Power) of Mobile Intel® Pentium® 4-M processor
is 35W (Processor frequency is 2.5GHz), it is about half thermal power generated by
the same frequency P4 processor. Therefore, customer can enjoy the processor
speed without worry about heat and heavy mass of big CPU cooler under critical
environment.
Performance and port of Ethernet are upgraded also. The Fast Ethernet on ROBO-
8712VLA is not enough for some applications, although it could expanded by
Portwell’s proprietary Omni PCI connector people prefer to have a board with more
powerful and more ports on it directly for space saving. Echo to the request,
ROBO-8712EVG2A provides two Gigabit Ethernet ports on bracket.
The ROBO-8712E series support six USB 2.0 ports; two on bracket for external
keyboard and mouse; four internal for extension to front or rear side of system.
USB allows user to add on other function to system without pain such as IRQ
interference.
ROBO-8712E series features:
Support 400/533/800*MHz front side bus Northwood, Prescott core Intel®
Pentium® 4 & Celeron (D) processor and
Support 400MHz front side bus low TDP Mobile Intel® Pentium® 4-M &
Celeron processor
Support DDR 266/333/400*, up to 2GB system memory and integrated Intel®
Extreme Graphics with DVMT (Dynamic Video Memory Technology) that
ensures the most efficient use of system memory
Equipped dual or single Ethernet port on-board
Audio in/out, Watch-dog timer, 6 USB 2.0 ports
