Finding a PC

The PIKA Document titled "Release notes" contains recommended PC specifications as well contains a section on Performance Benchmarks based on MIPS and Number of PIKA ports.

PIKA PCI Boards - Will work in PCI and PCI-X slots in a PC

PIKA PCIe Boards - Will work in 1x (lane) to 8x (lane) slots

Dell and HP’s commodity priced PC market is providing mostly PCIe slots now and only a few PCI slots for backwards compatibility. Customers that need 3-6 PCI slot systems are now find it harder to locate PC options.



What choices do you have?

• Contact Dell, HP, and Sun for their recommendations
• Move to Industrial Solutions
• Have a system custom built at a local computer store using ASUS or Intel motherboards

Hello,

The Dell PowerEdge 2950 with a Linux Debian Lenny (Kernel 2.6.31.12) works very well with the AOH Pci-e board ( 2x E1 ).


Best Regards, Guillaume.
