March 29th, 2007

San Diego, CA — Team ASA Inc., a manufacturer of high-performance networking and storage computers, today announced the newest board series in the NPWR Single Board Networking Computer family of products, the “NPWR-XTR” series boards.

The NPWR-XTR is a series of three new boards, the series consist of the NPWR-XTRM, NPWR-XTR2 and the NPWR-XTR1. The NPWR-XTRM features an Intel 81342 Dual Core Xscale CPU, four SATA ports and Dual Gigabit Ethernet ports. The NPWR-XTR2 features a Intel 81348 Xscale CPU, 8 SATA/SAS ports, 4 SATA ports, and Dual Gigabit Ethernet ports. The NPWR-XTR1 features an Intel 81341 Xscale CPU, four SATA ports and Dual Gigabit Ethernet ports. The NPWR-XTR series supports up to 2 Gigabytes of 533 MHz DDR2 memory via a SODIMM socket.

“The NPWR-XTR series boards can be clocked at 667 MHz, 800 MHz or 1.2 GHz, making the NPWR-XTR series of boards the highest performing NPWR boards ever.” quoted Mark Murray CTO of Team ASA, Inc. “The Dual Core CPU on the NPWR-XTRM will enable some applications to achieve a 400% increase over previous NPWR offerings” stated Murray.

The NPWR-XTR utilizes Team ASA’s second generation 4″ by 6.5″ form factor, this

compact foot print allows the NPWR-LCX to fit easily into all 3.5″ drive bays and

most 3.5″ disk enclosures. The 3.5” footprint means that the NPWR-XTR series boards are highly compact and easy to embed.

As with every NPWR SBNC the NPWR-XTR series boards are shipped with Linux OS preloaded. The NPWR Developer Kit CDROM also includes all tools, documentation and sources needed to make any NPWR-based product an immediate success.

Sample quantities of the NPWR-XTR board series are available in May 2007, production quantities will be available in July 2007. The price of a NPWR-XTR configured with Dual Core 1.2 GHz Intel Xscale CPU, 4 SATA ports, 512 MB of DDR SDRAM, Dual Gigabit Ethernet ports in 100 piece quantity is $795.00 USD.
