xSeries 440 Planning and Installation Guide

Once you enable Hyper-Threading, the Performance tab in Task Manager will
show twice the number of CPUs installed as there are physical processors.
Figure 4-8 shows the windows before and after enabling Hyper-Threading on a
two-way x440.

Attaching the RXE-100 Remote Expansion Enclosure

Once Windows 2000 is installed, if you haven’t done so already, you can attach
the RXE-100. Follow these steps:

1. Once the installation of Windows 2000 Server or Windows 2000 Advanced

Server is complete, shut down the operating system and power off the server.

2. Connect the RXE-100 to the x440 as described in “Connecting the RXE-100”

on page 80.

3. If power is connected to the RXE-100, remove for 10 to 20 seconds

4. Re-apply power to the RXE-100.

5. Power on the server.

The enclosure will power on automatically as the server is started.
