Product Description
OpenBlockS™266 is successful longselling MicroServer series, ranking first in sales volume since its release in April 2001.
* Maximum Ambient Operating Temperature of 40C / 104F * 16MB Flash ROM * Light weight: 255g * Compliant to the RoHS Directive * Internal CompactFlash card slot with DMA functionality
Features:
[Hardware]
RoHS compliance:
The new S266 model, introduced in 2007, is fully RoHS compliant, as we recognize the importance of protecting the environment.
Palm-sized compact case:
Compact case size of only (L x W x H) 114.5 mm x 81 mm x 38 mm / 4.5'' x 3.2'' x 1.5''. The OBS MicroServer can fit in anywhere, such in a cable tray or inside bigger devices like a vending machine. Inside a dedicated server rack, five units fit on one 19'' slide.
HDD-less and fan-less design to increase reliability:
The internal design of the OBS Microserver is optimized to release all heat through the aluminium case, which allows a maximum ambient operating temperature of 40C / 104F, even without a fan. In computer hardware, mechanical parts such as fans and hard disks are the most vulnerable and noisy parts, so removing them allows silent operation and higher reliability.

IDE / CompactFlash slot:
If more storage space than the internal ROM user area of 3.6MB is required, there are two options: a 2.5'' HDD can be connected to the internal IDE port, or a dautherboard with a Compact Flash card slot can be inserted. The storage device can be used to install a different OS, run additional applications, keep larger log files or use the server as a file proxy or data storage. The internal IDE connector has full DMA functionality.
PCMCIA expansion dock:
A separate expansion dock with a PCMCIA slot is available for the OBS, that is connected to the expansion slot under the server.
[Software]
Preconfigured functionality:
The following functionality is available under the standard OS installation:
* DHCP server/client, DNS server * FTP server/client, HTTP server * Mail server, Telnet server * PPP client, PPPoE client * Firewall (packet filtering via iptables)
Supported OS:
SSD/Linux:
SSD/Linux is a Linux distribution that was optimized for use with the Plat'Home MicroServer series. It is fast and uses minimum ROM space but supports all necessary hardware and networking functions.
NetBSD:
The OpenBlockS266™ is officially supported in NetBSD/evbmips 4.0.
Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 (etch):
The OpenBlockS266™ is supported by Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 (etch).
