II. Introduction
The Intel® IP Network Server NSW1U system is the first 1U rack mount server to
join the Intel® IP Network Server family, characterized by having long product
life and a 20” depth chassis. The NSW1U uses the Dual-Core Intel® Xeon®
Processor 5100 Series with 4M cache, and supports a number of CPU speeds.
Intel® IP Network Servers are suited to a host of applications in the network
security and industrial environment. The server is targeted to applications
requiring rugged systems including Intrusion Detection, Intrusion Protection,
Firewall, VPN, SSL VPN, and Application Secure Gateways. It can also support
manufacturing, industrial, utility and military applications where a rugged,
highly reliable server is required for harsh environments such as dust, high
altitude, fire hazard, earthquake propensity, and high ambient temperatures.
The NSW1U product has several phases before being released for general
customer availability (SRA – Ship Release Authorization). These phases include a
Beta, Silver, and Production phase. This document details the options available
on the Production systems.
