1 Chapter 1 Getting Started The Altos 600 is a powerful dual-processor system loaded with a host of new and innovative features. The system offers a new standard for flexible productivity ideal for local or wide area networks and multiuser server environments. Overview The Altos 600 is a PCI bus based dual-processor system board built on an extended ATX baseboard. It comes with a dual FC-PGA (Flip-Chip Pin-Grip Array) processor socket utilizing an Intel® Pentium® III processor integrated with the Apollo Pro 133A chipset. The system board also integrates the Intel® 82559 10/ 100 Mbps PCI Ethernet chipset that supports WOL (Wakeon LAN) for better remote site management. For expandability, the system board includes one AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port) bus, five PCI bus slots and three DIMM sockets that allow memory installation to a maximum of 1.5 GB using three 512-MB SDRAM (synchronous DRAM) DIMMs. For connectivity, the system board supports two USB (Universal Serial Bus) connectors and other standard features such as two UART NS16C550 serial ports, one enhanced parallel port with Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP)/Extended Capabilities Port (ECP) support, a diskette drive interface, and two embedded hard disk interfaces. The system is compatible with current IBM PC-DOS, Novell NetWare 5.1, SCO OpenServer 5.0.6, SCO UnixWare 7.1.1, Red Hat Linux 6.2, Caldera OpenLinux eServer 2.3,Windows NT 4.0, and Windows 2000 Server.

Chapter 1
Getting Started
The Altos 600 is a powerful dual-processor system loaded with a host of new and
innovative features.
The system offers a new standard for flexible productivity
ideal for local or wide area networks and multiuser server environments.

Apollo Pro 133A chipset. The system board also integrates the Intel
®
82559 10/
100 Mbps PCI Ethernet chipset that supports WOL (Wake on LAN) for better
remote site management.
For expandability, the system board includes one AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port)
bus, five PCI bus slots and three DIMM sockets that allow memory installation to a
maximum of 1.5 GB using three 512-MB SDRAM (synchronous DRAM)
DIMMs.
