Hardware Overview The three different servers included in the testing for this guide were the Compaq ProLiant 1850R, the ProLiant 1600R, and the Prosignia Server 720. Note: The ProLiant 1850R is only available in a rack-mount configuration. The ProLiant 1600R, the rack-mounted model, is also available in a tower model, the ProLiant 1600. The ProLiant 1600 includes tower server hardware rather than the rackmounting hardware of the ProLiant 1600R. The Prosignia 720 is not rack mountable. Compaq Hardware Basics Configuration for the Prosignia Server and the three ProLiant servers is outlined in Table 1. All four of the servers used in the testing come equipped with standard bus-interface devices for which drivers already exist for Linux. All bus-interface devices detailed use the PCI bus. Detailed information on each particular bus-interface device can be found in a subsection of the appropriate software. Only the installation and configuration details that are necessary to clarify the hardware explanation are provided in this section. Detailed setup and configuration instructions for a particular Linux vendor's distribution can be found in the section, "Installation Briefs". Table 1.
