RAS 2000 PowerRack Windows NT Supplement
Features
The RAS 2000 PowerRack software is almost identical in features and functions
to the software used on the original IntelliServer PowerRack. In order to get the
most out of the RAS 2000 PowerRack's improved hardware design, you should
be aware of some important differences between the IntelliServer RAS 2000
PowerRack and the original IntelliServer PowerRack, as explained in this sec-
tion.
The RAS 2000 PowerRack differences are:
•
RISC processor (RISC-860)
•
Software and configuration files
•
Port configuration
•
Factory default
•
Greater throughput
•
Increased CPU speed (30 Mhz)
This section further explains these software differences.
Different Software
Because of the hardware differences between the IntelliServer PowerRack and
RAS 2000 PowerRack, software intended for one cannot be loaded on the other.
