1U & 2U Industrial Grade Servers Address Requirement For Long Production Lifecycle, Minimizing Total Cost Of Ownership

Industrial grade servers combine the functionality and flexibility offered in commercial-grade servers with a robust chassis capable of withstanding the shock and vibration found in many industrial environments. In addition to meeting this growing requirement of industrial companies for high performance, rugged server solutions, the IS-100 and IS-200 industrial servers substantially improve total cost of ownership. Both products benefit from GE Fanuc Intelligent Platforms' industry-leading Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) programs, which ensure IS-100 and IS-200 hardware continuity over five years – thus eliminating the time and cost incurred by customers in regularly re-certifying hardware caused by component and subsystem obsolescence. PLM also provides customers with influence over revision control and configuration management.

IS-100

The IS-100, 1U industrial server, is powered by the latest Intel® 64-bit Xeon® single-, dual- or quad-core processor coupled with the new San Clemente server-class chipset. With a 1333/1066 MHz Front Side Bus and up to 8 GB DDR2 ECC SDRAM, the Intel® 5100P/ICH9 San Clemente chipset offers throughput unavailable in previous generation compute cores. Internal peripheral resource controllers include a 3 Gb/second SAS controller with software RAID 0/1 support, a 3 Gb/second S-ATA controller with hardware RAID 0/1 support, plus an XGI Z9 graphics controller with 32 MB video RAM. Hardware RAID 0/1 is available for SAS hard disk drives with an optional SAS controller. The most demanding of flexibility requirements are accommodated by the IS-100 with four 3.5" Hot-swap SAS/SATA drive bays; full-height, one half-length PCI-X expansion slot; and a slim drive bay supporting either an optional DVD-ROM drive or an optional floppy drive.

IS-200

The IS-200 2U industrial server features either one or two Intel® 64-bit Xeon® single-, dual- or quad-core 1333/1066 MHz FSB processors coupled with the San Clemente chipset. The server hosts up to 32 GB DDR2 SDRAM, a 3 Gb/second SAS controller with software RAID 0/1 support, a 3 Gb/second S-ATA controller with hardware RAID 0/1 support, plus an ATi ES1000 graphics controller with 32 MB video RAM. Hardware RAID 0/1 is available for SAS hard disk drives with an optional SAS controller. The IS-200 demonstrates application flexibility through provisioning of eight 3.5" hot-swap SAS/SATA drive bays; four full-height, half-length PCI-X expansion slots; three half-height, half-length PCI-X expansion slots; and a slim drive bay supporting either an optional DVD-ROM drive or an optional floppy drive.

Both servers sport local peripheral ports, including Gigabit Ethernet keyboard, mouse, USB, COM, and video. Keyboard, mouse, USB, COM, Gigabit Ethernet, and VGA connectors are located on the rear panel. Front panel power switch, reset button, five LED indicators, and two USB receptacles provide easy operator monitoring and control interfaces.

Both the IS-100 and IS-200 support the Windows® XP/2000/2003 Server and Linux software environments.
