The Apricot LS600 Series meets
the needs of today's most demanding business users. Fully specified, with a choice of the
very latest Pentium® processors, Ultra ATA hard disks and advanced SDRAM
memory technology, every LS600 is designed to offer the widest possible choice of price
and specification, providing sufficient technology headroom to ensure it caters with the
demands of software platforms both now and in the future. Utilising the latest Intel® 430TX chipset technology and
including a highly integrated hardware management controller, the LS600 Series has been
designed to provide the lowest ownership costs of any PC platform.
With 512KB Level 2 processor cache and 16-bit business
audio as standard features on all models, LS600 systems are ready to exploit the power of
new technologies such as Internet, voice messaging and other applications. Completing the
specification is the optional x16 speed CD-ROM from market leaders, Sony.
Processor choice
The Pentium® processor with MMX(TM) technology includes all of the features of a standard Pentium®
processor, plus more. Because of its improvements you'll experience greater performance in
all applications and smoother, more realistic results from multimedia based applications.
With all major software vendors now supplying their standard software MMX enabled, MMX
technology is a pre-requisite for system longevity.
Ready to network
Each LS600 system may be specified with an auto-sensing 10/100Mbit/s ethernet interface.
These high performance 'plug & play' NIC's provide optimum performance with |
current 10 Mbit/sec networks and
100Mbit/sec networks alike. Wake-on-LAN functionality, allows remote management and
support of client PCs, simplifying IT support and reducing ownership costs. For clients
with investment in other networking standards, LS600 systems can be supplied without a
network card, allowing integration with Token Ring or ATM technology. Easy to manage
All LS600 systems include enhanced manageability as standard. Designed to be compliant
with the latest DMI 2 specification, 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, the supplied application
allows full 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 LS600 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.
Furthermore, all LS600 systems benefit from the inclusion
of a sophisticated hardware management controller. This monitors the status of system
critical items such as temperature, power and hard disk performance; controlling the fan
speed to maintain an even system temperature; providing predictive drive failure
notification and alerting the system administrator to physical intrusion of the system
case. This ensures that the LS600's reliability is maintained at maximum levels, further
reducing cost of ownership. |
Sounds
good
All models incorporate integrated 16-bit audio allowing maximum use of today's
multimedia-rich operating systems and applications. Coupled with the x16 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. Should your
application demand additional multimedia capabilities, the on-board audio may be enhanced
by use of the optional wave table module upgrade (or disabled completely allowing an
alternate interface to be implemented). Comprehensive range
Available with a range spanning entry-level to state of the art Pentium II®
high performance models, the LS Series allows selection of the ideal model to meet your
needs.
Connectivity
All LS Series products are available with multiple connectivity options. These ensure that
the business advantages of Internet, Intranet and Extranet technologies can be fully
exploited, allowing greater productivity and communications regardless of the size of your
organisation. With integrated ethernet to high-speed modems and ISDN, all connectivity
options have been investigated to give simple but effective connectivity to your local
area network or even further afield to the World Wide Web, the electronic network that
spans the globe. |
