. . ProLiant 7000 Architecture
. .
. .
The ProLiant 7000 architecture allows customers to scale the processor and memory subsystems
. .
to run their mission-critical applications. The following sections describe the ProLiant 7000
. .
. .
architecture—the processor board, memory expansion boards, input/output (I/O) board, and
. .
standard peripheral board.
. .
. .
. .
Processor Board
. .
. .
The processor board (Figure 2) has four sockets for Pentium II Xeon processors, four sockets for
. .
. .
redundant processor power modules, and two slots for memory expansion boards. The redundant
. .
processor power modules maintain the precise voltage requirements of the processors. The
. .
. .
memory expansion boards allow customers to scale system memory up to 8 GB. The ProLiant
. .
7000 ships with one Pentium II Xeon processor, one redundant processor power module, and two
. .
. .
memory expansion boards. Processor terminator cards are also provided with the server. A
. .
processor terminator card must remain in each processor socket not occupied by a processor.
. .
. .
. .
Memory Expansion Boards
. .
. .
The ProLiant 7000 ships with two memory expansion boards installed on the processor board. As
. .
. .
shown in Figure 3, each memory expansion board has sixteen memory sockets (four banks of four
. .
sockets) for Dual In-Line Memory Modules, or DIMMs. The DIMMs must be installed in sets of
