    TC020702TB TECHNOLOGY BRIEF (cont.) ... Figure 6: Compaq designed the ProLiant DL590/64 server's I/O board. Distributed Power System Historically, most ProLiant servers have been powered by one or more AC-to-DC, multiple output power supplies. Power from the power supplies is cabled or routed to

    the power supplies may be sacrificed and the server power demand may exceed the total amount of power available. Compaq strongly recommends using high-line power to operate ProLiant DL590/64 servers when possible. All of the power supplies and system power modules in the ProLiant DL590/64 server are

ProLiant DL590/64 Server Technology
The computer industry has entered the next stage of a multi-year transition that is
bringing the benefits of 64-bit computing to industry-standard architectures.
Industry-standard 64-bit solutions, based on Intel Itanium processors will establish a
solid foundation to deliver the performance, innovation, and price essential to businesses
for many years to come.
Compaq has incomparable advantages in leading this technology shift.
In addition to a
5-year investment in 64-bit industry-standard server technology, Compaq has a
multi-year technology and marketing agreement with Intel to accelerate the availability of
next-generation enterprise servers based on the Intel Itanium processor family.
Microsoft
and Compaq have continued a two-decade-long partnership to deliver one of the most
stable and reliable industry-standard computing platforms in the market by working hand
in hand to develop the Windows 64-bit server family.
Aside from the tight integration
work with Intel and Microsoft, Compaq has been collaborating with independent software
vendors (ISVs) and early adopter companies to port 32-bit applications or develop 64-bit
applications on the new ProLiant platform.
The ProLiant DL590/64 server represents the official entry from Compaq into the world
of high-performance industry-standard 64-bit computing.
With this introduction of the
Itanium-based server, Compaq strengthens its enterprise product portfolio by delivering
an industry-standard platform with enterprise-class performance.
This technology brief gives an overview of 64-bit computing.
It explains the technologies
implemented in the ProLiant DL590/64 server and describes development efforts Compaq
has taken to ensure that reliable and stable 64-bit solutions are available.
