power your business with mid-range performance leader

Jump-start your business with the 4-way HP Server rx5670. With 900MHz or 1GHz Intel Itanium 2
CPUs and up to 48GB of memory, you achieve more performance, improve business processes
and manage your IT more efficiently. The rx5670 empowers technical computing users to process
more transactions, do more in-depth analysis, run complex models faster and render high quality
images with optimized performance. Commercial computing users will run their applications with
superior performance, decreased costs, and reduced complexity.
HP's extensive Itanium-based systems experience and co-developer insights resulted in
unmatched system performance gains through the development of the HP Scalable Processor
Chipset zx1. Invented by HP, the HP zx1 chipset fully unleashes the power of Intel Itanium 2
processors by lowering memory latencies and increasing memory and I/O subsystem scalability.
With the HP zx1 chipset, HP Itanium 2-based servers achieve industry leading performance and
memory expandability.

Applications currently based on HP's PA-RISC, IA-32 Windows and Linux are binary compatible
with HP's Itanium-based platforms. This compatibility greatly increases the availability of major
technical and commercial third party applications. To achieve even greater performance, HP is
working with leading independent software vendors (ISVs) in both the technical and commercial
markets to optimize their applications to the Intel Itanium 2 microarchitecture, thereby exploiting
the full potential of HP’s Itanium-based systems.

By clustering the rx5670 with other HP Itanium-based systems, you can consolidate resources
such as I/O, bandwidth, memory, mass storage and compute capacity. HP's high availability
cluster solutions ensure data integrity, maximize application availability and minimize planned
maintenance time. Regardless of your choice of HP-UX, Linux, or Windows, HP has a powerful,
flexible, highly available and easily managed cluster solution to meet your needs.

Express5800/120Rf-2 server is designed to deliver
scalable performance to workgroups, space-constrained
data centers, ASP/ISPs looking for Web and Internet
application hosting, and remote sites where space is a
prime consideration.

The Express5800/120Rf-2 supports up to two Intel Xeon

processors with 1MB of on-die transfer cache, and high-
performance SDRAM memory. Its ServerWorks GC-HE
chipset supports a 400MHz front-side bus and triple-peer
PCI bus architecture. The server accepts up to 6GB ECC
SDRAM memory (six sockets) and has six 64-bit/66MHz
PCI slots for easy expandability.

The server supports up to six hot-swap hard-drive slots, for a maximum internal
storage capacity of 438GB and transfer rates up to 160MBps. The embedded dual-
channel Ultra160 SCSI controller provides high throughput.

Integrated video and LAN connections leave all PCI slots available. Dual
integrated Gigabit and 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet channels provide redundancy,
load balancing, and flexibility in routing. The server also inclides dual hot-swap
power supplies, to meet the demands of business-critical applications.

Designed for easy installation and manageability, the Express5800/120Rf-2

comes standard with EXPRESSBUILDER set-up and configuration software and
ESMPRO management software, a suite of software tools to monitor, analyze, and
manage NEC servers.

The server also includes ROMPilot/Management Workstation Application (MWA), a

hardware/ software combination that permits remote control of server resources
via a LAN or standard modem connection. It provides features such as remote
power control, remote event-log access, and remote console redirection,
regardless of the state of the operating system or the network. This eliminates
remote-management add-in cards found on some competitive systems.

Express5800/120Lf
The High-Performance, Versatile Departmental Server

The Express5800/120Lf server is ideal for small to medium

businesses, universities, and school systems looking for high
performance and high availability as well as manageability
and easy expandability.

Built on advanced Intel Pentium III processors, the

Express5800/120Lf is dual-processor capable, with 512KB
on-die advanced transfer cache and a 133MHz front-side bus.
It offers up to 6GB ECC SDRAM memory and six PCI slots
(including four 64-bit) for expandability.

The server's embedded dual-channel Ultra160 SCSI controller and support of

10Krpm hard drives provide high throughput. Dual integrated auto-sensing
10/100Mbps Ethernet ports provide redundancy, load balancing, and greater
flexibility in routing. Integrated video and LAN connections leave all PCI slots
available for customer expansion.

The Express5800/120Lf server comes in two versions, hot-swap and non-hot-

swap. The hot-swap version supports up to ten hot-swap hard drives, for a
maximum internal storage capacity of 730GB1 and transfer rates up to 160MBps.
It also supports a hot-swap power supply option, to meet the demands of
business-critical applications. The non-hot-swap version supports up to five non-
hot-swap hard drives, for a maximum internal storage capacity of 365GB1 and
transfer rates up to 160MBps. It comes with a non-hot-swap power supply.

Designed for easy installation and manageability, the Express5800/120Lf comes

standard with EXPRESSBUILDER set-up and configuration software and ESMPRO
management software, a suite of software tools to monitor, analyze, and manage
NEC servers.

The server also includes ROMPilot/Management Workstation Application (MWA), a

hardware/ software combination that permits remote control of server resources
via a LAN or standard modem connection. It provides features such as remote
power control, remote event-log access, and remote console redirection,
regardless of the state of the operating system or the network. This eliminates
remote-management add-in cards found on some competitive systems.
