|
|
|
Rack-optimised 1U |
|
- Provides space savings for crowded data centre
|
|
|
|
|
Dual-Core Intel Xeon Processors (2x2 MB or 2x6 MB L2 cache) |
|
- Improves productivity through higher processing performance
- 1333 MHz front-side bus speeds information access within the system
- Dual-core processing provides significant performance gains over single core
|
|
|
|
|
Quad-Core Intel Xeon Processors (2x6 MB L2 cache) |
|
- Delivers ultimate processor performance with eight cores using optimised L2 cache
- Maximise multi-threaded applications for faster and concurrent execution
- Outstanding performance per watt with power-efficient Intel Core Microarchitecture
- Large cache size yields more transaction processing
|
|
|
|
|
Intel Xeon L5300 and L5400 series low-voltage processors |
|
- Lowers overall system power requirements
|
|
|
|
|
Fast 667 MHz, Fully Buffered DIMM memory |
|
- Match the high-performance speed of the Intel Xeon Processors with new-generation, high-performance memory supporting optimised throughput
- Online spare and memory mirroring provide customers with two ways to increase system and application reliability by allowing the system to continue operating even if a memory DIMM fails
- Interleaved memory to improve application performance
|
|
|
|
|
Support for up to four hot-swap Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) or two simple-swap Serial ATA (SATA) hard disk drives (HDDs) |
|
- Provides a range of affordable storage solutions to meet today’s storage needs and tomorrow’s expansion requirements
- High-capacity, high-performance 3.5" hot-swap SAS HDDs are the most robust drive choice to power your enterprise servers and storage solutions
- Install up to four drives in a 1U server with 2.5" hot-swap SAS HDDs
- Choice of affordable 3.5" SATA HDDs based on customer application requirements
|
|
|
|
|
Two PCI-Express slots (x8, half-length/full-height slot) or optional riser card for one PCI-X 64-bit/133 MHz slot) |
|
- Provides expandability choices and the opportunity to increase I/O bandwidth for performance and productivity
- Choice of utilising existing PCI-X adapters during the transition to the PCI-Express standard
|
|
|
|
|
Support for PCI-Express |
|
- Customers can choose a PCI-X riser card to support their PCI-X adapters. The PCI-X riser card can be ordered instead of the standard PCI-Express riser card.
