Premio Athena 845E Training Premio Zeus DX Server Training By Calvin Chen Technical Director
Agenda • System Overview • Target Market • System Specifications • Integrated Device and Back I/O • System Board Diagram • N+1 Power Supply • Summary
System Overview • The Zeus DX is our dual Xeon™ processor server • The server system board will be MSI-9101, based on the Intel E7500 chipset • The chassis will be our Zeus chassis with a single SCSI backplane for six SCA hot swappable SCSI HDDs support • The power supply will be a redundant N+1 at 600W • The Zeus DX is convertible between a pedestal unit and a 5U rackmount unit
Target Market • The target market of the Zeus DX server is medium to large corporations • Any firm that requires a high performance dual Xeon server with redundancy on the power supply and storage subsystem (via RAID 5) • Depending on usage, the Zeus DX server can support anywhere from 50 (base configuration) to 500 or more (full loaded server) users
Target Market (cont.) • Intel is aggressively moving their server processors from Pentium III to Xeon, and their pricing reflects this • Consider, as an example, our current Zeus PIII server (base server, 1 x PIII/1.40GHz, and 512MB [2 x 256MB]) price is $1615 • For the Zeus DX server (base server, 1 x Xeon/2.0A GHz, and 512MB) price is $1646 • For $31 more, you’re getting a Xeon based server with faster DDR memory • And on the Zeus DX you get 1 x 10/100Mbps and 1 x 10/100/1,000Mbps integrated Intel network adapter, as compared to only 2 x Intel 10/100Mbps on the Zeus PIII server • So now is a good time to tell your customers to move from PIII to Xeon servers
System Specifications • Chassis and Bays - Zeus server chassis with 600W N+1 redundant power supply - 3 x 5.25” external bays (optical or tape backup drives) - 1 x 3.5” external bay (floppy disk drive) - 6 x SCA bays (for 1” height SCSI 80 pins hotswap HDDs) - Dimension (as pedestal): 8.5” width x 17.0” height x 25.5” depth • Chipset / Processor Support - Intel E7500 – dual socket 603 - Intel Xeon (512K) @ 2.0A, 2.2GHz, or higher - Intel Hyper-Threading technology - Intel NetBurst™ Microarchitecture (400MHz front side bus) • Memory Subsystem - 6 x 184 pins DDR200 DIMM slots. ECC/registered only - 12GB maximum memory capacity • Expansion Slots - 5 x PCI (64 bit/66MHz) slots - 1 x PCI (32 bit/33MHz) slot
Integrated Devices and Back I/O • Floppy Disk Controller - 1 x internal FDD channel • IDE Controller - 2 x ATA-100 IDE channels • SCSI Controller - 1 x Adaptec Ultra160 AIC-7899W • Networking - 1 x 82550EY 10/100Mbps - 1 x 82544GC 10/100/1,000Mbps (gigabit) • Video - 1 x ATI Rage XL with 8MB • Legacy Ports - 1 x rear PS/2 keyboard port - 1 x rear PS/2 mouse port - 1 x rear COM/serial port - 1 x rear LPT/parallel port • USB 1.1 Controller - 2 x rear USB 1.1 ports
System Board Diagram PCI 64 bit/66MHz 6 x DDR200 DIMM Slots (12GB max) PCI 32 bit/33MHz Adaptec Ultra160 Socket 603 2 x ATA-100
N+1 Power Supply • N+1 redundancy for power supply is similar RAID 5 for SCSI HDDs • Today’s servers are requiring more and more power • It’s no longer practical to make two identical power supply and have the backup unit sit idle doing nothing, until the primary power supply fails • The picture on the right is the Zeus DX N+1 power supply layout; notice there are THREE hot swappable modules; each module is 300W • At any given time, only two modules are active: effectively giving us 600W of combined power • If one of the module fails, the other 300W module kicks in • You then simply remove (or hot swap out) the failed module and replace it
Conclusion • The Zeus DX is available NOW • Siebel model name is “S – Premio Zeus/DX” • Ideal for medium to large size business • High performance Xeon processor and DDR memory subsystem • 600W N+1 redundancy for the power supply • Up to 12GB of memory
