Alsointegrated into the Tomcat i7221 platform are PCI Express(tm), PCI-X and PCIexpansion slots, 4-port Serial ATA with RAID options, dual Broadcom(r)-basedGigabit Ethernet LAN ports, and an SO-DIMM expansion port designed to supportTyan's low-profile TARO(tm) storage add-on card products for additional SATA orSCSI functionality. Add the capability to support up to 4GB of UnbufferedDDR333/400 memory and integrated server-quality video, and the Tomcat i7221becomes a compelling choice for any entry to mid-range single processor serverapplication.
