IEI Announcing the World's First PICMG 1.3 SBC Powered by Dual-core CPU [PCIE-9450]

Brea, CA, September 27, 2006 --(PR.com)-- IEI Technology Corp. has always been emphasizing on product innovation and providing real-time customer service. In 2005, EPIC-NANO successfully became a standardized form factor SBC, and drew positive attention from the industry.

IEI's R&D team continuously creates new solutions in the realm of industrial PC At the beginning of 2006, IEI released the world's first PICMG 1.3 SBC from factor board, PCIE-9450, that features dual-core CPU processor. This new PCIE-9450 SBC will open a new chapter in IPC industry. 

High Performance and High Stability
IEI's PCIE-9450 is designed to meet all requirements defined by the PICMG1.3 standard. It uses the new generation Intel® LGA775 that offers better solder-joint and pin contact coverage Empowered by an Intel® dual-core Intel® Pentium® D FSB 1066MHz processor, the CPU board enables digital convergence, and delivers enhanced stability, productivity and flexibility for improved business collaboration.

The PCIE-9450 comes with Intel® 945G Express Chipset that delivers outstanding system performance through high-bandwidth interfaces such as dual-channel DDR2 memory, 1066/800 MHz system bus, PCI Express* x16 graphics port, PCI Express x1 I/O ports, Serial ATA 3.0 Gbps and Hi-Speed USB 2.0 connectivity. This chipset is driven by the Intel® GMA 950 graphics core which provides responsive graphics performance and stunning video playback. A significant addition to the capabilities is that the Intel 945G Express Chipset includes support for Intel® Active Management Technology, the next generation of remote client networks management.

Enhanced Broadband Transfer Rate and Meeting Higher Security Demands
The PCIE-9450 comes with 4 x DDRII 240-pin DIMM slots for DDRII-667 MHz SDRAM for building a large buffer with the size up to 4GB and 2 x PCI Express 1Gbps Ethernet ports. With an eye on the increasing demands on data transfer speed, IEI added 4 x SATAII-300 and 7 x USB2.0 ports for the connectivity to a wide range of peripheral devices More significantly, with the help of Intel® Matrix Storage Technology, storage and data distribution is safe from single disk failure through RAID levels 1, 5, and 10; not to mention the dramatic performance gains by the simultaneous access to multiple disk drives. All of the technical features presented on the PCIE-9450 aim to deliver extreme performance and to satisfy demands of today's applications.

PICMG 1.3 backplane and 24-pin ATX RoHS power supply
The world's first PICMG 1.3 SBC is accompanied by two new backplanes, PE-10S and PE-6S, that are also made in accordance with the PICMG 1.3 form factors, and a new generation 24-pin ATX, RoHS-compliant power supply, ACE-850AP. The PE-10S backplane provides one PCI-Express x16 slot， one PCI-Express x4 or x1 slots， three PCI-Express x1 slots, and four PCI slots. The PE-6S backplane provides one PCI-Express x16 slot，one PCI-Express x4 or x1 slot， one PCI-Express x1 slot, and two PCI slots.

RoHS Compliant
Providing the highest quality service and satisfying customers' needs have always been IEI's mission. Rolling forward with new technologies, we have a mind that our products should also be Environment-friendly. All of the newly manufactured products from IEI have been tested and proved to comply with the demands by the European Union's environmental law. IEI will continue to promote environmental protection policy and to provide RoHS- compliant products for our customers.
