Chapter 1. General Information
1.1 Introduction
The PL-8000 is a 1U rack-mounted hardware platform designed for network
service applications. Built with Intel® Embedded IA components warranteed
for longevity, the PL-8000 supports the Intel® EP80579 Integrated SoC with
QuickAssist security accelerator. Compared against three chip solutions,
Intel® EP80579 offers more application specific performance in less space
with the PL-8000.
The platform supports SoC core speed that ranges from 600Mhz to 1.2 GHz,
high bandwidth DDRII DIMM slot with memory up to 2GB and a full set of VPN
functions such as encryption, hashing and public/private key generation. In
order to provide the best network performance and best utilization, the
powerful storage interfaces include one 3.5" SATA HDD and CompactFlash™.
This platform affords five GbE Copper and max to 8 GbE Ethernet ports via
PCI-E by 1 or by 4 on front-panel. To prevent network problems when the
platform shuts down, PL-8000 supports one segment of LAN bypass function
through WDT and GPIO pin definitions. The front panel also has one USB 2.0
port, one RJ-45 console port and LED indicators that monitor power and
storage device activities for local system management, maintenance and
diagnostics. In addition, the PL-8000 supports two PCI-E by4 slot, and is
RoHS, FCC and CE compliant.
