Conceived as a powerful but low power consumption rackmount Internet security platform, the FWA-3710 series was specifically designed for mainstream IDS/IPS, anti-virus, VPN gateway and Unified Threat Management (UTM) applications. Using the latest Intel Pentium M processor combined with the Mobile Intel 915GM Express chipset and Intel’s ICH6M I/O Controller Hub, the FWA-3710 series provides unprecedented performance, connectivity and throughput without compromising on system thermal design. It supports up to 2 GB of DDR2 system memory at 400 or 533 MHz on dual-channel SODIMM banks. By leveraging PCI Express technology, the platforms maximize I/O throughput by taking full advantage of the ICH6-M’s PCI Express (PCIe) capability. Four PCIe lanes connect directly to the Ethernet controllers to provide bi-directional 2 Gb/s peak bandwidth for Gigabit Ethernet support at wire speed. The system supports one optional 3.5" IDE or SATA HDD, and CompactFlash for OS and Internet security applications. The front panel has a 9-pin RS-232 serial port and one 10/100 managed LAN port, with an LCD module for local system management, maintenance and diagnostics. It is FCC, CE, CCC, and UL compliant.
