Table 1-2 Endurance Server Hardware Requirements (Continued) Item Notes CEs Mirrored Disks Set(s) The two CEs must be identical Pentium class PCI-bus PCs. Each CE must have: • The capability of restarting automatically after a power failure. On some systems, you may need to select options for automatic restart in the system Setup utility. • Both CEs must have the same amount of RAM (256 MB minimum). • Floppy disk drive • Video adapter -- required for the CE to boot and for maintenance purposes. A standard PCI or AGP VGA-compatible video adapter provides the video BIOS required to boot the CE and display the following items: - POST messages - BIOS setup, test, and diagnostics - MS-DOS boot for flashing the MIC - Windows operating system flex-boot - Text phase of the Windows operating system boot • Monitor - used for running setup and diagnostics, flashing the MICs on the CEs, and maintenance purposes. • Keyboard - if your computer's BIOS requires a keyboard to boot. Make sure your CE systems conform with the requirements specified in the Endurance Release Notes. You can use one monitor, keyboard, and mouse for the IOPs and CEs along with a keyboard, video, mouse (KVM) switch.
