Overview - NEC Express5800 320La User Manual

Overview

This server is well suited for Symmetric Multiprocessing (SMP) and Enterprise class
network server environments and is a highly reliable, high-powered, fault-tolerant,
high-capacity multiprocessing system based on the Intel Pentium III
It is a fully redundant system with on-line serviceability and hot plug replacement of all
major subsystems and a solid performer offering the latest technology. The server
system is conveniently housed and available as a tower-based system, including
housing for the tape drive module (see Figure 1-1) or as a rack-mount system, without
housing for the tape drive module (see Figure 1-2) in a relatively small form factor of
8U (fits into a standard EIA 19-inch rack assembly.)
The combination of mirrored computing performance, memory capacity, and integrated
I/O provides a high performance environment for many applications including network
servers. The server system is designed for use in applications where fault-tolerant,
advanced technology, high performance, and high levels of reliability and compatibility
are expected.
