We first announced Intel’s entry into the Windows Home Server market here with their Entry Storage System the SS4200-E. Also known as the Home Server Concept we have the specs and accompanying pics for you to enjoy.
Powered by a 64-Bit low voltage passive cooled Intel Celeron 420 1.6 GHz processor, the unit is housed on a Intel 945GZ/ICH7R chipset mainboard with integrated graphics.
The board provides four internal SATA connectors and one IDE connector with room for up to four drives to be housed together.
Two external eSATA devices can be connected thanks to the integrated Silicone Image 3132 controller. An Intel 82573 Gigabit Ethernet controller provides the network interface and up to 2GB of memory can be added to the single DDR2 DIMM slot.
The front panel has the usual power switch as well as an LED block which gives information on the current status, network activity, non removable disk activity or can warn the user over the loss of a non removable disk. Also included is a recovery button.
Four USB2.0 sockets are provided, two on the front and two at the rear alongside the two variable speed 70mm exhaust fans. The PSU offers an output of 180W and has a single 40mm exhaust fan.
It can be mounted vertically, horizontally, on the wall or under a desk.
