Chapter 1. Introducing the 44P Model 170
The 7044 Model 170 servers combine PowerPC 604e microprocessor performance and
system expandability, ensuring that your server adapts to handle ever-changing
operating requirements. The 7044 Model 170 servers are specifically designed to
support the demands of network environments.
The 7044 Model 170 servers incorporate the peripheral component interconnect (PCI)
bus, which is faster than the industry standard architecture (ISA) bus.
This book helps you use the system, use diagnostics, use service aids, and verify
system operation. This book also provides information to help you solve some of the
simpler problems that might occur, and how to obtain assistance and service.
