Compaq ProLiant 7000 Server Technology
This technology brief describes the high-performance, high-availability, and management
technologies built into the Compaq ProLiant 7000 Server.
The high-performance
technologies include Intel’s 32-bit Pentium® II Xeon™ processor, as well as
improvements to the ProLiant 7000’s PCI bus architecture.
Compaq has fulfilled its
promise to extend the functionality of the ProLiant 7000 by providing an upgrade path to
four or eight Pentium II Xeon processors.
The high-availability technologies include: PCI Hot Plug technology, redundant network
interface controllers, redundant hot-plug power supplies, drives, and fans; and
redundant processor power modules.
The ProLiant 7000 design also contains easy-
access components that reduce downtime for service or upgrades.
The ProLiant 7000
incorporates key management technologies, such as the Integrated Management Display,
Integrated Remote Console, and Auto-Default ROM Configuration, that further enhance
availability.
The intended audience for this paper is the engineer or system administrator familiar
with existing Compaq technology and servers.
For those less familiar with Compaq
technology, please see the related technology briefs referenced in this document.
For
more information about the ProLiant 7000, see the complete list of features at
