1.8 Storage

►Hard Disk◄

W476 / W576 notebook computer is equipped with a built-in large capacity 2.5 inch IDE hard disk drive where you store or install your computer operating system as well as software programs. The internal hard disk is normally assigned as Drive C after formatting.

If you wish to replace your hard disk, contact your local vendor for information about your notebook computer’s hardware setup.

You can increase the system’s storage capacity by replacing the standard hard disk drive with a drive of a greater capacity.

Always turn off your notebook computer before removing the hard drive. Failure to do so will damage the computer and the hard disk. Avoid jarring or moving your computer while the hard disk is still being accessed.

►Optical Disc Drive (ODD)◄

W476 / W576 notebook computer is equipped with one of the DVD Super Multi

The optical drive is normally used for installing operating system and software programs. To insert and remove a disc from the drive:

1.Press the button on the front of the drive to eject the disc tray and gently pull out the tray.

2.Place the disc on the tray with label side up.

3.Place the disc on the spindle and press it down gently until the disc clicks into place.

Warning: When the computer is reading from the optical drive, the indicator light for ODD will flash on. Do not attempt to remove the disc while the indicator light is still active.

Warning: Do not insert any foreign objects into the disc tray. Do not force the tray to open or close. When the drive is not in use, keep the tray closed in order to prevent dust or dirt from entering the drive. If you experience difficulty when removing a disc, stick a paper clip (or use a pin or a thin metal rod) into the emergency eject hole, the CD disc tray should eject immediately. This procedure can also be used to remove a CD from the drive when the notebook is powered off.

W476, W576 specifications

Intel's W576 and W476 processors are innovative additions to the company's Xeon lineup, designed specifically for high-performance computing tasks and enterprise-level applications. These processors cater to a diverse range of industries requiring robust processing power, reliability, and energy efficiency.

The Intel W576 processor is equipped with 24 cores and 48 threads, featuring an impressive base clock speed of 2.6 GHz, which can boost up to 4.4 GHz with Intel Turbo Boost technology. This architecture allows for exceptional multitasking capabilities, making it suitable for data-intensive applications, virtualization, and AI workloads. The W576 supports Intel's Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX-512), which enhances its ability to perform complex calculations efficiently, vital for scientific simulations and machine learning processes.

On the other hand, the W476 processor, although slightly less powerful with its 16 cores and 32 threads, still delivers formidable performance with a base clock speed of 2.4 GHz and a turbo frequency of 4.3 GHz. The W476 is designed for workloads that do not require the same level of parallel processing as the W576 but still demand substantial computational power, making it ideal for enterprises focused on reliable performance without extreme scalability requirements.

Both processors integrate Intel's Speed Shift technology, which allows for quicker adjustments to CPU performance based on workload demands. This contributes to improved power efficiency and thermal management, ensuring that both processors operate optimally under varying workloads. They also support Intel Deep Learning Boost, which enables accelerated AI inference performance, crucial for businesses leveraging machine learning solutions.

Furthermore, these processors include features such as Intel Optane memory support, which enhances system responsiveness and storage capabilities, and support for DDR4 memory up to 3200 MT/s, allowing for faster data throughput. The W576 and W476 also possess robust security features including Intel Software Guard Extensions which provide hardware-based protection for sensitive data and applications.

In summary, the Intel W576 and W476 processors represent a significant step forward in processing technology for enterprise environments. With their advanced architectures, improved power efficiency, and support for modern workloads, they provide the versatility and performance required in today's data-driven landscape. Whether for high-demand AI applications or reliable enterprise computing, these processors stand out as powerful solutions that align with the evolving needs of the industry.
