Chapter 1. Introducing the PC Server 704
Your IBM PC Server 704 offers multiple (up to four) Intel Pentium
Pro microprocessor capability, so that you can take advantage of
symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) technology. You can maximize
the benefits of this technology, provided that you have an
SMP-capable operating system, such as one of the following,
installed in your server:
OS/2 for SMP
OS/2 LAN Server 4.0 Advanced
Microsoft Windows NT Server 3.51
Note: For the latest information about SMP operating systems
supported by your PC Server 704:
In the U.S., call 1-800-772-2227.
In Canada, call 1-800-565-3344.
In all other countries, contact the IBM support
organization that services your area, your IBM marketing
representative, or your IBM reseller.
Your server also has a built-in peripheral component interconnect
(PCI) advanced bus. This bus and the Pentium Pro microprocessors
combine to create a high-performance local area network (LAN)
server platform to handle heavy file-server applications or moderate
database applications. All models have two embedded SCSI-2
controllers and offer super video graphics array (SVGA) graphics.
As an open-architecture, industry-standard system, the PC Server
704 has been tested for compatibility with numerous IBM and
non-IBM adapters and devices. Rugged dependability is achieved
by incorporating various quality standards and design points.
Your PC Server 704 comes with a full three-year, on-site limited
warranty, plus IBM PC Server Startup Support. Some PC Server 704
models also come with IBM ServerGuide.
Refer to the Setup sheet for instructions for setting up and cabling
your server.
