5 Key Features and Benefits Intel Pentium III Xeon Processor The Express5800/140Hb server can support up to 4 Pentium III Xeon processors, for robust system performance. The advanced Pentium III Xeon processors feature 1MB or 2MB of ECC on-die L2 cache. Enhanced System Architecture The Express5800/140Hb uses the ServerSet III HE chipset from ServerWorks, offering enhanced processor speeds for multiprocessor server environments and expandability for future Pentium III Xeon processors. This chipset is a proven technology that increases the flexibility of system design for processor, memory and PCI configurations. It allows increased throughput and overall performance through the 100MHz front-side bus. The Express5800/140Hb uses the ServerSet III HE chipset from ServerWorks, offering enhanced processor speeds for multiprocessor server environments and expandability for future Pentium III Xeon processors. This chipset is a proven technology that increases the flexibility of system design for processor, memory and PCI configurations. It allows increased throughput and overall performance through the 100MHz front-side bus. The Express5800/140Hb server offers 16 DIMM sockets for industry-standard 64MB 1, 128MB, 256MB, 512MB and 1GB SDRAM DIMMs with a 4-way interleaved memory organization. The server allows easy expansion for memory-intensive environments, with scalability up to 16GB. High-Performance Disks and Flexible Storage Configurations The Express5800/140Hb offers up to two cages (one standard, one optional), each housing 5 x 1" front-accessible hot-swap disk drives, for a total internal capacity of 360GB 1. Each HDD cage comes with its own SCSI backplane. The Express5800/140Hb support the latest disk drives with Ultra160 SCSI technology (7,200rpm or 10Krpm), giving data rates of up to 160MBps for maximum throughput. The Express5800/140Hb server also offers 4 media bays: one 3.5 bay occupied by a floppy drive, one 5.25 bay occupied by a 40X maximum variable speed EIDE CD-ROM drive, and 2 x 5.25 bays free for other media devices. Integrated Controllers The Express5800/140Hb system board features an integrated dual-channel SCSI controller, providing Ultra160 SCSI interfaces for the support of Ultra160 hard-disk drives, and an integrated single-channel Wide Ultra SCSI for the support of media SCSI devices (DAT and DLT). It also provides an integrated Enhanced IDE channel for the connection of the 40X maximum variable speed CD-ROM. The Express5800/140Hb system board includes a 10/100Mbps network controller (based on the Intel Fast Ethernet PCI bus controller), to optimize server performance and provide near immediate network readiness. As a 32-bit PCI bus master, the controller can burst data at up to 132Mbps. The controller contains two receive and transmit FIFO buffers designed to prevent data overruns or underruns while waiting for access to the PCI bus. It can also auto-detect and auto-switch for 10 or 100Mbps network speeds and supports Wake-on-LAN. The Express5800/140Hb supports the auto-sensing Intel PRO/100+ server adapter. Installing multiple PRO/100+ boards provides high availability (load balancing, fault tolerance) and top performance (server bandwidth scalable up to 800Mbps) for the most demanding networking environments. 1 When referring to hard drive capacity, GB stands for one billion bytes. Some utilities may indicate varying hard-drive capacities. Total user-accessible capacity may vary depending on operating environments. Express5800/140Hb Product Information Guide 5

6 The server also supports a Gigabit Ethernet board as an option, to boost network performance to 1,000Mbps. The Express5800/140Hb has an integrated ATI Rage IIC 64-bit, high-performance SVGA subsystem that supports 4MB of 10ns onboard SGRAM (Synchronous Graphics Memory) and resolutions up to 1280 x 1024, allowing high-quality image display. I/O Expansion Slots The server s expansion capabilities meet the requirements of high performance I/O and high availability by providing up to 8 PCI slots, including 6 hot-swap slots. 2 The I/O slots can be seen in the adjacent diagram: 1. 2 x PCI 64-bit/66MHz hot-swap 2. 4 x PCI 64-bit/33MHz hot-swap 3. 2 x PCI 32-bit/33MHz All the I/O expansion slots are Plug-and-Play ready, and PCI connectors are parity enabled. Slot PCI No. Bits MHz A Top Bottom B Top Bottom Power Supplies and Fans The Express5800/140Hb server supports redundant hot-swap power supplies and fans, to help ensure system operation even if one of the power supplies fails. The system comes standard with two 450W power supplies. A third power supply is optional for redundancy. Each power supply supports PFC (power factor correction), and comes with its own AC cord for better reliability. Two fan boxes with 3 hot-swap fans each are standard for efficient cooling of hard-disk drives and CPUs. 2 Hot-swap PCI slot functionality depends on the type of operating system support. Without PCI hot-swap operating support, you cannot replace PCI boards while the server is turned on. Express5800/140Hb Product Information Guide 6

7 ESMPRO Software and Integrated Remote Management The Express5800/140Hb includes the ESMPRO Management Suite, which allows network administrators to monitor, control and manage Express5800 servers and desktops across a network from a management console or any PC with an Internet browser. The ESMPRO Management Suite enables local or remote management (via your network or the Web) comprehensive real-time fault management performance and load monitoring broad configuration and asset management It allows system administrators to optimize server operations through an easy-to-use Windows -based graphical user interface. ESMPRO comes with SNMP agents for Microsoft Windows and Novell NetWare environments accommodating all Express5800 servers. Plug-in applications are also available to integrate Express5800 systems with leading enterprise and network managers, such as HP OpenView NNM for Windows, Tivoli Enterprise, CA Unicenter TNG or Bull OpenMaster (AIX). ESMPRO Alert Manager comes with traps for APC s UPS management software (PowerChute Plus), providing a single management console view of the server and the AC power system. The Express5800/140Hb features hardware-integrated remote-management capabilities implemented through the Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) and RomPilot (extended BIOS). This built-in solution provides remote emergency access and control of server resources (via LAN or standard modem connection) from a Management Workstation Application (MWA), allowing critical actions such as remote power control, remote event log access or remote console redirection, regardless of the state of the operating system or the network. This capability eliminates expensive emergency management ISA/PCI add-in cards often found with competitive systems. Express5800/140Hb Product Information Guide 7
