The RS/6000* 43P Series is an affordably-priced line of full-function systems that provides a solid range of power and expansion capabilities. These systems are versatile and perform well as either workstations or entry servers. Selectable microprocessor speeds plus available packaging options enable you to purchase the system that works best for you. Built-in graphics and integrated Ethernet** further enhance configuration flexibility.

The 43P Series leverages the personal computer bus technology from such common industry technologies as PCI, ISA and SCSI-2. This enables you to use many of the high-performance PCI adapters, low-priced ISA adapters, and readily available SCSI-2 devices. An entry graphics accelerator is integrated on the system board to provide outstanding entry 2D graphics. This graphics functionality is designed to meet the graphics needs of most business and commercial applications.

Model Abstract 7248-132

The 43P Model 132 is the high-performance member of the 43P Series. It is powered by a PowerPC 604* microprocessor running at 133MHz with 512KB of synchronous L2 cache, 16MB of memory, and 1.2GB disk.

The 43P Series, the entry family of workstations and servers for the RS/6000, deliver outstanding price/performance. The following are additional features and benefits of the 43P Series.

• Low-priced entry workstation - The Model 132 delivers strong price/performance for a broad range of applications.
• Easy processor upgrade - Can be easily upgraded by plugging in a 166MHz PowerPC 604e* processor.
• Low-priced entry server - With a very attractive price and the flexibility to use both PCI and ISA adapters, including the 8-or 128-port asynchronous adapter, the 43P is a solid entry server for many application environments.
• Graphics readiness and exceptional 2D performance - With 2D graphics functionality integrated on the system board, you are ready for most business graphics. Additional graphics accelerators are available for increased 2D performance.
• Speed and power for advanced 3D applications - Use the POWER GXT1000* graphics accelerator to provide outstanding price/performance for complex 3D applications.
• Flexible 5 slot x 5 bay configuration - Three ISA and two shared PCI/ISA slots provide room to attach your choice of adapters. In addition to the standard diskette and 8X-speed CD-ROM drives, extra bays are available for hard drives, another CD-ROM drive, or a tape unit.
• Business multimedia capability - For quality business multimedia sound, use the build-in audio ports to connect stereo headphones and a microphone directly to your system.
• Enhanced network connectivity - Use the built-in 10BaseT Ethernet port to connect to your Ethernet network (no card or slot required.) For increased performance, install the optional 10/100Mbps Ethernet adapter.
