1-2 System Overview
Overview
This server is well suited for Symmetric Multiprocessing (SMP) and Enterprise class
network server environments and is a highly reliable, high-powered, fault-tolerant,
high-capacity multiprocessing system based on the Intel

Xeon
®
processor family. It is
a fully redundant system with on-line serviceability and hot plug replacement of all
major subsystems and a solid performer offering the latest technology. The server is
conveniently housed and available as a tower-based system (see Figure 1-1) or as a
rack-mount system (see Figure 1-2) in a relatively small form factor (fits into a standard
EIA 19-inch rack assembly.)
The combination of mirrored computing performance, memory capacity, and integrated
I/O provides a high performance environment for many applications including network
servers. The server is designed for use in applications where fault-tolerant, advanced
technology, high performance, and high levels of reliability and compatibility are
expected.
