System Overview
|
The LS550 range from Apricot
meets all the needs of the technology or cost driven corporate user. Fully specified, with
a choice of the very latest Pentium processors, hard disks and advanced memory technology,
every LS550 is designed to offer the widest possible choice of price and specification.
This ensures that you can put exactly the right model on each desktop, with no limits on
processing power, speed, capacity or performance. High quality business audio is a standard feature,
ready to exploit the new technologies of voice messaging and other audio applications.
With the in-built CD-ROM the LS550 is also a state-of-the-art multimedia machine, ready to
unleash the potential of the latest, most demanding software.
Pentium with MMX technology
The Pentium processor with MMX technology includes all of
the features of a standard Pentium processor, plus more. Because of its improvements,
you'll get a better, smoother and more realistic multimedia experience. As raw power on
its own is of limited value, the main motherboard used in the LS550 system has been
designed specifically to cater for the capabilities of these new Intel processors,
ensuring maximum performance from every component in the system.
Ready to network
The LS550 computer has a market-leading
3Com PCI Ethernet card already installed and ready to connect. This 3Com PCI 10/100
auto-sensing Ethernet card provides optimum performance with current 10 Mbit/sec networks
and guaranteed upgradeability to the emerging 100Mbit/sec network. For corporates with
investment in other NIC's, LS550 systems can be supplied without a network card, allowing
integration with Token Ring and other networking technologies. Alternatively a standard
10Mbit/s NIC can be provided for BNC or AUI connection.
Easy to manage
All LS550 systems include enhanced
manageability as standard. Designed to be fully DMI compliant, each system is supplied
with a Windows application allowing a complete inventory of the system to be made -
including firmware and software revision levels. Based upon established industry standards
for DMI, the supplied application allows co-operation with third-party network management
tools; ensuring a simple and cost effective installation into both new and existing
company sites.
In addition, each LS550 system is supplied
with 'Electronic Fingerprinting'. This allows your choice of information (e.g. company
name, department, asset number, etc..) to be permanently recorded within each system,
ensuring a permanent record of system ownership to be available.
Sounds good
All except the entry level models
incorporate integrated SoundBlaster Vibra-16 audio from the market leader Creative Labs.
Coupled with the high speed Sony CD-ROM, you can now have the benefit of high quality
business audio through the unit's built-in speaker, or, for maximum quality through
external speakers.
Comprehensive Range
The wide range of LS550 models allows you
to choose from entry-level network ready LS550E systems to state of the art performance
workstations, ensuring that you can select the ideal system to meet your needs. |
