1-2 System OverviewOverviewThis server is a modular, multiprocessing server based on the Intel Pentium® II andPentium® III chip sets. The combination of compute performance, memory capacity,and integrated I/O provides a high performance environment for many server marketapplications.This server is also conveniently housed in a tower-based, as shown below.Tower-Based System Front ViewThis server system is designed for minimum downtime. To this end, the server includesor has the options to include the following: Optional power system redundancy; in a system configured with two power supplies,the system will continue to operate with a single power supply failure. Self-contained power supply units that can be easily installed or removed from theback of the chassis. SCSI drive bays accessible from the front of the chassis. Hot-swap SCSI disk drive backplane; a failed drive can be removed and a new driveinstalled without system power being turned off, if an optional Redundant Array ofIndependent Disks (RAID) controller is installed. High degree of SCSI disk fault tolerance and advanced disk array managementfeatures through the use of RAID technology, if an optional RAID controller isinstalled. Chassis that supports up to two power supplies. The second power supply can beadded to provide redundant power.
