1-2 System Overview
Overview
Your server is a modular, multiprocessing server based on the Intel® Xeon
microprocessor family. It is a solid performer and offers the latest technology. The
combination of compute performance, memory capacity, and integrated I/O provides a
high performance environment for many server market applications. These range from
large corporations supporting remote offices to small companies looking to obtain basic
connectivity capability such a file and print services, e-mail, web access, web site
server, etc.
This server is conveniently housed and available as a tower-based system
(see Figure 1-1) or as a rack-mount system (fits into a standard EIA 19-inch rack
assembly).

Your server may include hot-swap SCSI hard disk drive bays. The hot-swap SCSI hard
disk drive bays hold up to six 1.0-inch SCSI hard disk drives that can be swapped in or
out of the system without powering it down, if RAID is configured in the system.
As application requirements increase, you can expand your server with an additional
processor, additional memory, add-in boards and peripheral devices; tape devices, CD-
ROM, and hard disk drives.
