Performance and High Availability for e-Business

High-densityrack-mount (HDRM) servers are emerging as one of the strongest segments in the entry-level server space. Their thin, rack-mount design saves space and simplifies the installation, operation, and maintenance of co-located systems.

For dependable, manageable rack-mount servers, be sure to use Intel® server building blocks, including the new Intel® Server Board SCB2.

Powerful, Rack-Optimized

ServerBoard

The Intel Server Board SCB2 accommodates up to two Intel® Pentium® III processors with

512-KB L2 cache, providing pow-

erful performance for demanding server workloads. Two independent 64-bit/66-MHz buses, one independent 32-bit/33-MHz bus, and a Triple Peer PCI architecture enable high, balanced I/O throughput. Six DIMM sites allow for up to 6 GB ECC SDRAM for memory-intensive applications. All component locations and design are thermally optimized for 1U and 2U rack systems.
