New Technology
The Compaq ProLiant DL760 server has several new technology features.
PCI-X Support
PCI-X technology leverages the wide acceptance of the PCI bus and provides
an evolutionary I/O upgrade to conventional PCI. PCI-X technology increases
bus capacity to more than eight times the conventional PCI bus bandwidth —
from 133 MB/s with the 32-bit, 33-MHz PCI bus to 1066 MB/s with the 64-
bit, 133-MHz PCI-X bus. It enhances the PCI protocol to develop an industry-
standard interconnect that exceeds a raw bandwidth of 1 gigabyte per second
(GB/s) and will meet upcoming bandwidth needs of enterprise computing
systems. PCI-X provides backward compatibility with the PCI bus at both the
expansion board and system level.
Compaq ROM-Based Setup Utility Support
The Compaq ROM–Based Setup Utility (RBSU) will automatically configure
the system based on the operating system selected. RBSU supports a wide
range of customizable configuration features. RBSU replaces the System
Configuration Utility feature.
Faster Processor Support
The ProLiant DL760 server offers support for faster Intel Pentium III Xeon
processors. The server is capable of supporting up to eight processors and
eight Processor Power Modules. Each processor requires an associated
Processor Power Module. A ninth Processor Power Module is always present
to provide processor bus termination power.
NOTE: The server will NOT boot if the Intel Pentium III Xeon processors are NOT the same
speed.
