The AR-B5205 is a non-standard platform board special design for Networking microbox and
1U 19”Rackmount system. AR-B5205 uses Intel chipsets 910GMLE and ICH6M support for CPU
Celeron M/Pentium M processors up to 1.8GHz to provide exceptional performance with low power
consumption. The board support up to 2GB DDR2 system memory at 400MHz(default onboard
512MB DDR2), by leveraging the PCI Express technology both provide total of four onboard Intel
82574L PCI-E x1 GbE ports plus two Intel 82541PI PCI GbE ports to maximize network bandwidth.
Among the Ethernet ports, integrated a pair of configurable By-Pass function ensure
continuous operation during power interruption or any unexpected system halt. For Storage
interface, it provides SATA and Compact Flash for Operating system installation or Internet security
applications. Also it features a 9-pin RS-232 serial port, VGA port, and two USB ports for I/O
connectivity. In addition, the PCI slot offers easy expansion of add-on card(AR-R5205 series only),
also a LCD Module(AR-R5205 series only) supplies a good tool for local system management,
maintenance and diagnostics.
AR-B5205 series offer the flexibility, and power efficiency which are ideally for many internet
security applications, such as UTM (Unified Threat Management), WAS (Web Access
Management), VPN and Anti-Spam mail server etc.. System integrators can easily develop their
internet security solutions with Gigabit Ethernet, expandable HDDs, and the convenient modular
design.
AR-B5205 features:
 Intel 910GMLE + ICH6M chipsets support Intel Celeron M/Pentium M.
 2 Memory slots, support 2GB max.
 6 Gigabit Ethernet.
 Console re-direction port.
 Bypass function.
