FXVWRPHUýXVDJHýJXLGH +3ý 1HW6HUYHUý /;Uýåèíí • Scalability − Processors: increase from 1 to 8, can be upgraded to next-generation Xeon processors − CPU L2 cache available at 1 MB or 2 MB. − Memory: increase from 256 MB to 32 GB. I/O: Ten hot-plug, full-length PCI slots; four 64-bit, 66 MHz slots; and six 64-bit, 33 MHz slots (one 33 MHz PCI slot used by preinstalled HP TopTools Remote Control Card) • Manageability − Preinstalled HP TopTools Remote Control card for secure remote management − HP TopTools for Servers, a comprehensive server management solution with intuitive browser-based user interface; facilitates troubleshooting, administration, and asset information collection − HP OpenView ManageX/SE Event Manager for complete NOS and Application management − HP Fault Notifier phones home to HP if hardware problems occur. Pre-failure alerts occur on key system components. − Pre-Failure Warranty receives alerts and proactively directs the system administrator to replace hard drives, memory or power supplies before they fail and cause downtime. The performance of this server is enabled by the use of the Intel Profusion chipset architecture. This chipset is a five-ported switch that links five 100 MHz buses in a crossbar switch. The architecture allows direct point-to-point, simultaneous access to all system resources producing a balanced server platform. (The design of the chipset and server is discussed in more detail in the Architecture/Technology Overview, a HP white paper on the Profusion architecture.) This is the second generation of a HP eight-way, SMP processor design, incorporating proven design technology and expertise to produce a highperformance, highly available system. The HP NetServer LXr 8500 brings solid reliability to the demanding data center environment, especially those that support ERP, data mart, OLTP or thin client application environments. The server's robust design provides the high availability so needed by data centers by using redundant, hot-swappable key components as well as by being certified for clustering on a variety of platforms. Maximum uptime is further enhanced by a comprehensive set of server management tools. 13
