Intel Blade Server
The Intel based Broadberry Blade Server Chassis SBCE integrates complex components and eliminates cables to simplify data center management. You get powerful and flexible blade computing solutions that help contain data center costs while enabling business agility
Powerful, Easy-to-Integrate Blade Computing
Blade servers bring to crowded data centers an opportunity to increase the
density of computing power while actually simplifying server deployment and
management.
The new Intel Server Compute Blade is a cutting-edge blade
server based on the Intel Xeon processor. It packs an enormous
amount of performance, flexibility, and serviceability features into an
extremely thin form-factor, helping you expand data center performance
while extending limited data center resources.
Features |
Benefits |

A Look Inside
The Intel Server Compute Blade includes a wealth of features that
deliver scalable performance, deployment flexibility, and easy serviceability.
- Support for one or two Intel Xeon processors running at 2.67GHz,
- 2.8 GHz 533 MHz front-side bus with 512 KB L2 cache
- 256 MB,512 MB, or 1 GB or 2 GB ECC SDRAM,
- PC2100 memory, maximum 8 GB, supporting Intel® x4 Single Device Data Correction (x4 SDDC)
- Integrated ATA-100 IDE, embedded RAID-0/RAID-1 mirroring
- Optional SCSI storage expansion unit with embedded RAID-1
- 2 IDE HDD bays, 2 SCSI HDD bays
- Four communication paths (dual network, dual storage)
- Hot-plug connection for fast, easy service
Powered by the Intel® Xeon™ Processor
The Intel Xeon processor is full of innovative technologies such as the
Intel® NetBurst™ microarchitecture and Hyper-Threading Technology that
help speed upWeb work, email, database transactions, and other critical
applications.
The Intel Xeon processor also has high-reliability features to
help ensure that business-critical servers are available. With a second
processor installed, an Intel Server Compute Blade provides outstanding performance
and headroom for your dual-processor (DP) applications.
