DAX Systems serves up rack mount solution for Intel multi-processor.PINE BROOK, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 9, 1996--DAX Systems Inc., today unveiled its new symmetrical multi-processor solution, the SyMPro(TM). The rack mounted SyMPro is equipped with DAX's Plug 'n Serve card cage, which accepts Intel's 15" Xtended Xpress and 12" ALTServer system baseboards. The Plug 'n Serve card cage is designed to facilitate easy, economical system upgrades as server technology develops and new baseboard base·board n.

High Reliability & Scaleability The SyMPro (19"W x 12"H x 24"L) is engineered for single to multiple processor configurations, up to 4 Pentium processors. DAX vice president Tony Shay explained: "DAX Systems has always focused on achieving new and higher levels of reliability and fault tolerance. As a rack mounted server, the SyMPro delivers unprecedented simplicity, functionality, and reliability. The chassis is designed for easy access and maintenance or replacement of the subsystems -- without using tools and often without any interruption of service. The SyMPro offers 10 drive bays, a redundant fan array, and redundant auto-ranging 525W power supplies. For system integrators, OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and channels, or companies setting up their own Intranets, LANs or WANs, the SyMPro is ideal." Media at the Front Door The SyMPro's swing-away front door offers ready access to the hot-swappable drive array, power modules, and control panel. Six 3.5" full height SCSI-2 drives allow easy implementation of RAID systems up to 54GB utilizing 9GB SCA (Single Connector Attachment) An 80-pin plug and socket used to connect peripherals. With a SCSI drive, it rolls three cables (power, data channel and ID configuration) into one connector for fast installation and removal. drives. Three plug-in 5.25" half height drive bays are mounted on removable carriers, allowing easy configuration and installation of FDD (1) Abbreviation for floppy disk drive. See floppy disk.

SCSI has given way to faster standards, such as Firewire and USB. devices. The single 3.5" half height drive supports 720KB, 1.44MB, and 2.88MB devices. The power supply modules are redundant, self-cooling, and removable without tools. Auto-ranging, the two 525W modules accept 100VAC or 220VAC for worldwide usage without pre-configured switches. Each has an independent switch, output indicator, and built-in fan that draws fresh air through the front panel cover. Alternate power solutions include 400W, 300W, and -48VDC VDC Volts Direct Current VDC Venture Development Corporation VDC Vehicle Dynamic Control VDC Village Development Committee (Nepal) VDC Virtual Data Center VdC Verband der Cigarettenindustrie . A front display panel exhibits system status, alarms, and reset controls. For enhanced feedback and monitoring, an LCD display is available. Slots at the Top The removable cover at the top of the chassis affords easy access to the card cage, baseboard and expansion slots. The removable, redundant fan array cools the baseboard and card cage. The fans on this module are individually monitored, hot swappable, and replaceable within seconds, without tools. A single base unit of the SyMPro, equipped with dual Pentium 133 MHz processors, dual 400W power supply, 6 drive hot swap RAID array, SENTRY alarm system, four 5.25" drive bays, 32 MB RAM, 2 MB L2 Cache, dual SCSI busses and on board video, lists for $13,995. Available only through DAX Systems and manufactured in the USA with full quality and revision control, the SyMPro offers industry standard compliance with ISA, MP, PCI (1) (Payment Card Industry) See PCI DSS.
