Processor Technology
In addition to the changes bulleted above, the 1.13 Tualatin FC-PGA2 processors now include an
integrated heat spreader above the flip-chip core, making them easier to cool. They also now
have an attached heatsink, solving the problems faced when the processor and heatsink were
separated and then reattached.
An integrated VRM 8.5 powers the first processor; a so12V input VRM 8.5 powers the
second. .13 –micron technology enables smaller, less expensive chips that run faster and require
less power.
Integrated ATA RAID Configuration Utility
The Integrated ATA RAID Configuration Utility is a standard feature of ProLiant ML330
Generation 2 ATA models. It supports, configures, and manages ATA hard drive arrays.
The AMI PCI-649 ATA100 controller provides two internal 100MB/s ports for up to four drives.
Integrated ATA RAID allows the user to install the operating system onto a fault-tolerant volume.
To run the utility, press the
F8
key during POST, after all hard drives have been installed and
connected. Unlike a RAID volume created with an operating system, this server’s ROM-based
setup is used to create RAID 0, 1, and 0+1 arrays and assign drives. This information is then
written to a configuration sector on the drives. For further instruction on how to use this utility
refer to the Setup and Installation Guide. (See

at the end of this document.)
Note:
The ROM-based RAID setup is not part of RBSU.
