|
|
|
|
|
|
| Intel® Xeon® L5300 and L5400 series low-voltage processors |
|
- Lowers overall system power requirements
|
|
|
|
|
|

- 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 utilizing existing PCI-X adapters during the transition to the PCI-Express standard
