I'm interested in this board but I > can't find any reference to it on the Intel Web Page. Is this a > prototype or is the model number a typo? It is not a board. It is a complete fully functional 1RU unit with two 10/1000 NIC cards, and a BIOS which redirectes the output to the serial port on bootup, so that you never have to have a video card. Let me go to the iNTEL site right now to get the pointer. The exact model number is the ISP1100. Both the 1RU (1100) and the 2RU (ISP2150) are listed under http://www.intel.com/network/products/internet_servers.htm It's not easy to find at first unless you have the URL. Intel's site says the 1100 is designed for dedicated hosting and the 2150 is for shared hosting. The latter is a 2 CPU machine. ISTR that there is a model coming to replace the 2150 that will have the BIOS serial redirect features of the 1100, as the current 2150 has an intergrated SVGA graphics board. The BIOS redirect is one of the main features we went with the 1100. There is a video card manufacturer in Canada, whose name I have forgotten, which makes a video card that redirect the BIOS to the serial output on bootup. Not having to have a monitor to change BIOS settings is a major plus IMO. Bill. p.s. - Would you repost this to the ISP list. This machine - my home machine - is currently connected through a provider that does not reverse the IPs and thus posts from this machine are rejected, and I don't have the time to telnet to the machine where I can post from at the moment.
