Processor
Both the ProLiant and Prosignia servers discussed in this guide use the Pentium II processor.
Since no specific Linux kernel optimizations are currently available for the Pentium II processor,
kernels built specifically for this processor should be modified to optimize for the Pentium Pro
processor. Custom kernels built for testing in preparation for this guide all were optimized for the
Pentium Pro processor. This is possible because the Pentium II’s architecture is very similar to
that of the Pentium Pro.
SCSI Controller
Each server examined here comes equipped with an NCR SCSI controller. All of the ProLiant
servers include internal dual port SCSI interfaces, while the Prosignia 720 has a single ULTRA-2
SCSI port. External SCSI ports are also built in to the ProLiant servers examined here. The device
driver for NCR53C8XX devices will interface with any of these SCSI devices and offer access to
connected SCSI devices.
Note:
The device driver for NCR53C8XX is different from the device driver for NCR53c7,8xx
SCSI devices.
Specific controllers tested in preparation for this guide are included in the following table:
