System Overview


The LS660 range from Apricot meets all the needs of the corporate or volume business user in a mini tower chassis that provides massive room for expansion. Fully specified, with the very latest Pentium Pro processors, hard disks and advanced memory technology, every LS660 is designed to offer the widest possible choice of price and specification - so that you can put exactly the right model on each desktop, with no limits on processing power, speed, capacity or performance.

One of the LS660's most important features is it's fully-integrated networking facility. This means that every model in the LS660 range is available with a choice of 10 or 100Mbit/s ethernet technology pre-installed, ready to run. High quality business audio is another standard feature, ready to exploit the new technologies of voice messaging and other audio applications. With the in-built CD-ROM the LS660 is also a state-of-the-art multimedia machine, ready to unleash the potential of the latest, most demanding software.

Processing Power

For maximum performance, suited for true 32-bit operating systems and applications, the latest Pentium Pro processors are ideal. Supplied with the latest 200MHz CPU these systems are at the leading edge of personal computing performance.

Faster than ever

With every new development in software, the demands placed on the computer's resources increase. The LS660 range has been designed to meet all these needs - and more.

Systems include DIMM memory technology, utilising high specification 60nS parts and benefiting from ECC protection for greater reliability, this provides a memory sub-system that has been designed specifically for the demands of Pentium Pro CPUs.

Ready to network

The LS660 Pentium Pro system has a market-leading 3Com PCI 10/100Mbit Ethernet card already installed for optimum network performance. Whether you are using 10Mbit or 100Mbit UTP cable, you can literally 'plug and go'. You also have the option of a standard ISA interface card, for existing 10Mbit/sec networks. For corporates with investment in other NIC's, LS660 systems can be supplied without a network card, allowing integration with Token Ring or other networking technologies

Sounds good

All 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.

USB Expansion

The LS660 Pentium Pro system has a dual USB port, allowing up to 127 devices to be attached per port. With USB, there is no more guesswork about which serial or parallel port to use, and devices can be added without requiring knowledge of IRQ settings, DMA channels or I/O addresses.

Desktop Management

Systems are compliant with the latest DMI manageability standards. With the addition of a DMI browser application for Windows NT 4 Workstation* asset management of the system can be undertaken either locally or remotely via the network.

*Available from MEPCD Quarter 2, '97.
