Today we will bring to your attention a review of cost-effective 1U network platform
FW-7581 manufactured by
Lanner Inc.This is the first and most unpretentious 19-inch rack platform with x86 architecture in our line of product reviews by Lanner, so the story about it will be short but interesting. Let's get right to the point.
As a CPU, you can use Intel Core2 Duo, Core2 Quad, Pentium D, and Celeron families of LGA775 socket with support for up to 4GB DDR3 1066 / 1333Mhz. To control the device, you can use any x86-compatible operating system. The platform has on board one management-interface six copper GbE-interfaces, controlled by Intel 82574L controllers.

For storage, the board has two Serial-ATA ports and a compartment for mounting a 2.5-inch hard drive, as well as a slot for Compact Flash-cards. The radiator is cooled on the CPU by two coolers via fan duct + additional cooler for cooling the internal space.
