Installing an Optional
Video Board
All models of the Compaq ProLiant 5000R come with an Integrated Video
Controller that supports SVGA, VGA, EGA, and CGA graphics with the
following resolutions:
1024 x 768 non-interlaced resolution with 16 colors
800 x 600 non-interlaced resolution with 256 colors
640 x 480 VGA non-interlaced resolution with 256 colors
The QVision Graphics System can also be added as an option. It features 256-
color support at 1280 x 1024 or 16-million-color support at 640 x 480. SVGA,
VGA, EGA, and CGA graphics resolutions are supported.
The video board should occupy one of the PCI slots. Those are slots 5-8. Slot
8 is recommended.
NOTE : When using the QVision Graphics System, be sure to install the video
drivers found on the Microsoft Windows Support diskette.
Adding Processors
Compaq ProLiant 5000R Servers support symmetric multiprocessing (SMP)
with as many as four Pentium Pro Processors, two on each of two processor
boards.
Matching Requirements
Processors throughout the system must match in frequency. Processors on the
same board also must have matching internal cache.
