The ProLiant DL560 server has a tool-free and virtually cable-free internal design. Essential features of
the server architecture include:
• Up to four Intel Xeon MP processors
• 400-MHz front side bus
• Intel Hyper-Thread technology for optimized performance
• DDR SDRAM memory with Advanced Memory Protection technology
• PCI-X architecture
• Wide Ulltra320 SCSI technology
• Gigabit networking technology
• Embedded technologies
• Hot-plug technology
• Flexibility of high line or low line AC power
• Support for today’s leading industry-standard operating systems
Intel Xeon MP processor
Processor subsystem
Models of the ProLiant DL560 server ship standard with one or two Intel
Xeon processors MP (right). For first generation DL560 servers,
customers may choose from available processor speeds of 1.50, 1.90,
2.00, 2.5, or 2.8 gigahertz (GHz). The 400-MHz system bus, which is
quad-pumped and runs off a 100-MHz system bus clock, provides data
transfer rates of up to 3.2 gigabytes per second (GB/s).
The Intel Xeon Processor MP is manufactured using a 130-nanometer
(0.13-micron) process to allow higher frequencies and better
performance. The term 0.13 micron refers to the circuit (feature) size.
By reducing the feature size, processor manufacturers can pack more
