Compaq ProLiant ML350 Server Overview

Description

The 2

generation ProLiant ML350 server is a dual processor capable,

expandable server that comes in both non-hot-plug and hot-plug hard drive

models. New features of this server include the latest 1-GHz processor, an

integrated dual channel Wide Ultra3 SCSI controller, additional 64-bit PCI

slots and support for USB ports. The server also has a new bezel, variable fan

control, a built-in connector for Remote Insight Board Lights Out Edition ,

ROM-based BIOS setup and Remote ROM Flash support.

Note

The system uses the FC-PGA (flip-chip) processor which has a different socket

than the previous generation ProLiant ML350 and therefore cannot be used to

upgrade previous generation systems.
