Proces sor
The system can include one or two Pentium Pro processors mounted on the processor/memory board. The board contains DC to DC converters for power to each processor (Figure 2-4, D) . The primary Pentium Pro processor plugs into a Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) socket on the this board (Figure 2-4, B). This processor features either a 256 KB or 512 KB cache. An optional second Pentium processor (Figure 2-4, C) enhances performance and enables symmetric multiprocessing (SMP). Both processors access the same memory and I/O space and tasks can run on either CPU if your operating system (OS) supports SMP.
M emo ry
The processor/memory board contains eight 168-pin DIMM sockets (Figure 2-4, A). The minimum system board configuration includes 32 MB of system memory. 8 DIMM sockets allow for system memory expansion to 1 GB (using 128 MB DIMMs.) ECC generation/checking is provided for detection and correction of memory errors.
Note: Only use DIMMs approved for use in this server system. Call your customer service representative for information.
Bus Master I/O Expansion Slots
The server's expansion capabilities meet the needs of file and application servers for high performance I/O by providing a combination of PCI local bus and EISA connectors. The system board offers four dedicated PCI slots, three dedicated EISA slots, and one shared PCI/EISA slot.
The system board contains four EISA bus master I/O (input/output) expansion slots (Figure 2-3, A). The EISA architecture supports 32-bit memory addressing and 16-bit or 32-bit data transfers for the CPU, DMA, and bus masters.
