Overview
The MT2000 Server is a modular, multiprocessing server
based on the Intel Pentium® Pro chip set. The chip
set incorporates a modular scaleable architec ture that
integrates a 64-bit bus interface with a primary and
secondary Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI)
bus and an Extended Industry Standard Ar chitectu re
(EISA) bus. The architecture suppor ts Symmetrical
Multiprocessing (SMP) and a variety of operating
systems. The chassis and system board have been
designed to meet the needs of the server marketplace.
The combination of computing performan ce, memory
capacity, and integrated I/O provide s a high
performance environment for many applications
including network servers an d multi-user sy stems.
This server system is designed for use in applications
where downtime must be minimized. To this end, the
server includes or has the option to include the
following:
■ Optional power system redundancy; in a system
configured with two power supplies, the system will
continue to operate with a single power supply
failure.
■ Self-contained power supply units th at can be easily
installed or removed from the back of the c hassis.
■ SCSI drive bays accessible from the front of the
chassis.
■ Hot-swap SCSI disk drive backplane; a failed driv e
can be removed and a new drive installed with out
system power being turned off, if an optio nal
Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID)
controller module is installed.
■ High degree of SCSI disk fault tolerance and
advanced disk array management featur es throug h
the use of RAID (Redundant Array of Independent
Disks) technology, if an optional Redundant Array
of Independent Disks (RAID) controller module is
installed.
