Chapter 1. General Information
1.1 Introduction
The PL-8000 is a 1U rack-mounted hardware platform designed for network
service applications. Built with Intel® Embedded IA components warranteed
for longevity, the PL-8000 supports the Intel® EP80579 Integrated SoC with
QuickAssist security accelerator. Compared against three chip solutions,
Intel® EP80579 offers more application specific performance in less space
with the PL-8000.
The platform supports SoC core speed that ranges from 600Mhz to 1.2 GHz,
high bandwidth DDRII DIMM slot with memory up to 2GB and a full set of VPN
functions such as encryption, hashing and public/private key generation. In
order to provide the best network performance and best utilization, the
powerful storage interfaces include one 3.5" SATA HDD and CompactFlash™.
This platform affords five GbE Copper and max to 8 GbE Ethernet ports via
PCI-E by 1 or by 4 on front-panel. To prevent network problems when the
platform shuts down, PL-8000 supports one segment of LAN bypass function
through WDT and GPIO pin definitions. The front panel also has one USB 2.0
port, one RJ-45 console port and LED indicators that monitor power and
storage device activities for local system management, maintenance and
diagnostics. In addition, the PL-8000 supports two PCI-E by4 slot, and is
RoHS, FCC and CE compliant.

1.4 Packaging
Check that the following items have been included in the package before
installation.
1. PL-8000 Appliance
2. Quick Installation Guide (Optional)
3. Cables (Optional)
4. CD-ROM that contains the following folders:
(1) Manual
(2) System Driver
(3) Ethernet Driver
(4) Utility Tools
If any item of above is missing or damaged, please contact your dealer or
retailer from whom you purchased the PL-8000. Keep the box and carton
when you probably ship or store PL-8000 in near future. After you unpack the
goods, inspect and make sure the packaging is intact. Do not plug the power
adapter to the appliance of PL-8000 if you already find it appears damaged.
Note: Keep the PL-8000 in the original packaging until you start installation.
1.5 Precautions
Please make sure you properly ground yourself before handling the PL-8000
appliance or other system components. Electrostatic discharge can be easily
damage the PL-8000 appliance.
Do not remove the anti-static packing until you are ready to install the PL-8000
appliance.
