Fujitsu Siemens Computers, the leading European IT manufacturer and a pioneer in environmentally conscious PC technology, today announced the availability of the latest addition to its range of professional PCs.
The extremely silent ESPRIMO E, a Small Form Factor PC (SFF), comes with new manageability and flexibility features as well as Fujitsu Siemens Computers` innovative Green PC technology. The ESPRIMO E5905 is based on the latest Intel 945G Express Chipset, while the ESPRIMO E5901 is also equipped with Intel Active Management Technology. ESPRIMO E Series models can now be obtained throughout the EMEA region (Europe, Middle East and Africa).
The small form factor PC ESPRIMO E was designed as standard desktop for demanding office applications in large networks. It is thus particularly well suited to organisations with 1 000-plus employees, where factors like trouble-free operation in open-plan offices and flexible expansion options are especially important when purchasing PCs.
With this in mind, Fujitsu Siemens Computers equipped the ESPRIMO E Series with adaptable rear panels and flexible slots; either for four low-profile cards or two full-height PCI cards combined with one low-profile card. The enhanced cooling concept means the new models are the quietest in their class, and the switched monitor outlet system saves energy since the PC automatically controls the monitor`s power supply.
Technical highlights:
* Intel Corporate Stable Platforms including new Intel 945G Express Chipset and Intel Pentium 4 Processors with hyper-threading technology. (Also available with the new Intel Pentium D 82x sequence dual core processors.)
* Optional with Intel Active Management Technology
Improved expandability, allowing the 3.5-inch drive to be used for:
* A second hard disk
* An internal SmartCard reader
* A MultiCard reader
* A WLAN module
Adaptable rear panel:
* Version A with four low-profile cards.
* Version B with two full-height PCI cards and one low-profile PCI Express x16 card.
* Second serial port optional via cable.
* Standard front audio and front USB (2x) connectors.
* Configurable security features (SmartCard reader, intrusion switch, lock).
* Enhanced cooling concept for extremely quiet operation (24dB with heavy system load).

ESPRIMO professional PCs, manufactured in Augsburg, Germany, deliver the latest in cutting-edge technology in an environmentally conscious package. All three lines of the new ESPRIMO global brand, which was announced together with Fujitsu Ltd in April, have a modular design for easy upgrading.
The ESPRIMO P5905 Microtower has been available since May as part of the Intel Stable Image Platform Program. The space-conscious Ultra-Small Form Factor ESPRIMO C Series, meanwhile, will hit the market in July.
Modular system
Fujitsu Siemens Computers has been building upon the proven strengths of its desktop PCs to offer a flexible configuration system. Depending on their requirements, customers can choose between standard PCs, special features such as enhanced security and performance, and long-term available configurations. In any case, every system can flexibly be upgraded, and that means additional investment protection.
Ergonomics and the environment
All professional PCs from Fujitsu Siemens Computers will comply with RoHS six months before the stringent new set of EU guidelines restricting the use of hazardous substances goes into effect in mid-2006. Lead content in the mainboards has already been reduced from around 12 grams to only one gram, and the printed circuit board, power supply and riser card are all halogen-free. As mentioned, ergonomics has also been enhanced. The advanced cooling concept used in all ESPRIMO PCs makes them even quieter for a better (and more productive) work environment.
Lifecycle management and serviceability
The improved cabinet design of the ESPRIMO Professional PCs increases the possibilities when it comes to servicing and upgrades, while the ManageIT and SecureIT software suites ensure secure and trouble-free operation. What`s more, lifecycles of up to 18 months are made possible by the stable configurations and components as well as the Intel Stable Image Platform Program.
