May 29, 2006 - CONTEC, a leading manufacturer of computer peripheral equipments, industrial computers and network devices, today announced the release of CONTEC SLC-8550-LVA, Intel® Pentium® M processor-compliant, the 5-inch bay sized CPU Board that contains six USB ports and six RS-232C COM ports.

Product name Model
Pentium® M-compliant
5.25" size Single Board Computer
SLC-8550-LVA

SLC-8550-LVA

The new SLC-8550-LVA is the 5-inch bay sized (203mm×145mm) CPU board and is a lead-free and RoHS-compliant product. This CPU board supports the Intel 855GME + ICH4 chipset and is compatible with 1.6G-2.0GHz (FSB400MHz) Intel Pentium M processor and 1.3G-1.5GHz (FSB400MHz) Intel Celeron M processor. The main memory complies with PC2700 DDR SDRAM (supports both ECC and non-ECC memory) and is able to contain up to 1 GB.

The SLC-8550-LVA provides the expansion capability including six 232C serial communication ports (two of them are pin header connector), six USB 2.0 ports, CF slot (enables boot-up), AC97 audio and PCI slot, making it ideal for complicated embedded applications. LVDS interface and analog RGA enables the dual independent displays. CONTEC strives to customize contained devices and BIOS of the new SLC-8550-LVA as its custom ordered (OEM) product.
