The FWA-3230 1U network appliance can scale from entry-level performance using Intel® Celeron® and Pentium® processors to the mid-range segment using Intel® Xeon® E3 series processors, offering an outstanding price/performance ratio with each SKU. In addition to supporting the latest Haswell microarchitecture enhancements for increased CPU performance, virtualization support and I/O throughput, the FWA-3230 adds support for latest Gigabit Ethernet controllers, PCIe gen.3 connectivity, support for remote management and advanced LAN bypass to create state-of-the-art platforms for specific enterprise networking applications.
Memory configurations can include four DDR3L 1333/1600 DIMMs for up to 32GB in total. In the base configuration, the system comes with support for two 2.5" SATA HDDs/SSDs, LCM, RJ45 console, two USB ports and six Intel® I210-AT GbE controllers.
For I/O expandability, two standard PCIe full-height, half-length slots with rear access allow the integration of off-the-shelf PCIe adapters and up to two Advantech Network Mezzanine Card (NMC) slots offer further flexibility for additional front-panel network ports.
Featuring an optional server BMC in accordance with IPMI2.0, the FWA-3230 supports state-of-the-art remote and lights-out management for increased reliability, serviceability and improved total cost of ownership. Advanced features such as power supply monitoring via PMBus allow the whole platform to be remotely managed. All management firmware can be remotely upgraded using the industry standard HPM.1 protocol, same as the motherboard system BIOS. All upgrades are fail safe and support instant rollback allowing for full system recovery without the necessity for onsite service staff.
