products. Additional testing pertains directly to the complexity of multiple SMP configurations and the time commitment required for testing the ServerProven list against each of these configurations.

All of the capabilities of the x440, including 16-way SMP capability and remote I/O sharing, were announced in March 2002, but as a result of this additional configuration development and testing, the x440 configurations will be introduced in multiple phases during 2002 and 2003 as testing is completed.

Important: This document covers the products as of November 2002 in detail, and only introduces the likely features of the follow-on models.

The models available as of November 2002 are listed in Table 1-1.

The x440 models that have Xeon MP processors installed currently only support processor configurations of two, four and eight processors. The x440 models that have Xeon DP processors only support processor configurations of two or four processors, but can be upgraded to eight Xeon MP processors if desired.

Figure 1-1 on page 4 shows the available single-node configurations and the CPU and memory options.
