Compaq ProLiant DL760 Servers
The Compaq ProLiant™ DL760 server, the ultimate high-density data center
server, delivers breakthrough 8-Way scalable performance for 24x7
multiserver rack environments. The ProLiant DL760 server, which is based on
the ProFusion 8-Way architecture, delivers this performance through state-of-
the-art Intel Pentium III Xeon processor technology, breakthrough scalable
performance of I/O and memory, and the highest levels of fault tolerance and
manageability for the data center.
Chapter 1
Server Features
Performance is maximized with up to 8 Pentium III Xeon processors and
16 Gigabytes (GB) of ECC SDRAM memory. Input/output (I/O) performance
is further enhanced by eight 64-bit PCI-X slots–two of those slots operating at
100 MHz, three 64-bit PCI slots, an Integrated Smart Array Controller (Ultra2
support), and Ultra3 hard drives.
High-availability features include: PCI Hot Plug slots, redundant hot pluggable
power supplies, redundant hot-pluggable fans, redundant processor power
modules, redundant network interface controllers (NIC), Smart Array 4200
controllers, Error Checking and Correcting (ECC) memory, Disk System
Tracking, Disk Drive Fault Tolerance, and Automatic Server Recovery
(ASR2).
Server management and configuration tools important to availability include
SmartStart™, Remote-Flash Redundant ROM, System Interconnect Status
Indicators, Compaq Insight Manager™, Compaq Remote Insight, and Compaq
Server Utility.

New Technology
The Compaq ProLiant DL760 server has several new technology features.
PCI-X Support
PCI-X technology leverages the wide acceptance of the PCI bus and provides
an evolutionary I/O upgrade to conventional PCI. PCI-X technology increases
bus capacity to more than eight times the conventional PCI bus bandwidth —
from 133 MB/s with the 32-bit, 33-MHz PCI bus to 1066 MB/s with the 64bit, 133-MHz PCI-X bus. It enhances the PCI protocol to develop an industrystandard interconnect that exceeds a raw bandwidth of 1 gigabyte per second
(GB/s) and will meet upcoming bandwidth needs of enterprise computing
systems. PCI-X provides backward compatibility with the PCI bus at both the
expansion board and system level.
Compaq ROM-Based Setup Utility Support
The Compaq ROM–Based Setup Utility (RBSU) will automatically configure
the system based on the operating system selected. RBSU supports a wide
range of customizable configuration features. RBSU replaces the System
Configuration Utility feature.
Faster Processor Support
The ProLiant DL760 server offers support for faster Intel Pentium III Xeon
processors. The server is capable of supporting up to eight processors and
eight Processor Power Modules. Each processor requires an associated
Processor Power Module. A ninth Processor Power Module is always present
to provide processor bus termination power.
NOTE: The server will NOT boot if the Intel Pentium III Xeon processors are NOT the same
speed.
Standard Features
The following features are available on Compaq ProLiant DL760 server
models.
Processor and Redundant Processor Power Modules
■ Supports up to eight Intel Pentium III Xeon processors
■ Optimal thermal dissipation
G Evaporator plate and water-cooled heat pipes are attached to each
processor
■ Processor Power Modules
G One redundant Processor Power Module per processor
G One Processor board Processor Power Module to power the board
for higher availability
Server Features 1-5
System Memory
■ ECC with single-bit error correction and detection to a single DIMM,
and multibit error detection to the memory bank
■ Supports 100 MHz Registered SDRAM
■ Expandable to 16 GB
■ Supports up to eight memory banks with each bank consisting of two
DIMMs. One bank is installed or removed at a time. Each DIMM of a
given bank must be of the same size, type, and speed.
Cache Accelerator
■ Increases system performance
■ Required for more than four processors or if processors are installed on
both processor buses
1-6 Compaq ProLiant DL760 Servers User Guide
Expansion Slots
The server has eleven 64-bit I/O expansion slots that are spread over three
separate buses.
■ The Primary Bus (slots 7-9) will support PCI expansion boards at
33 MHz.
■ The Secondary Bus (slots 1-6) will support PCI expansion boards at
33 MHz or PCI-X expansion boards up to 50 MHz.
■ The Tertiary Bus (slots 10-11) will support PCI expansion boards up to
66 MHz or PCI-X expansion boards up to 100 MHz.
NOTE: Most expansion boards will work in any slot selected, but optimum performance is
obtained when expansion boards are grouped by capability and placed in buses together.
NOTE: Compaq recommends installing 100-MHz PCI-X expansion boards in the Tertiary
Bus, and 66-MHz PCI-X expansion boards in the Secondary Bus.
Network Controller
Supports a dual-port 10/100 TX UTP controller on the PCI local bus. Features
of the controller include two RJ-45 connectors for 10BaseT or 100TX
Ethernet. For information about the network controller, refer to the Compaq
website at
http://www.compaq.com
Redundant Network Controller (NIC) software, located on the Compaq
Support Software CD, supports a redundant NIC configuration. This feature
may be used with one dual-port, two dual-port, or two single-port NICs.
NOTE: When not using the dual-port capabilities, install the terminator plug from the
second RJ-45 connector.
PCI Hot Plug
PCI Hot Plug provides the ability to remove, replace, upgrade, and add
PCI/PCI-X expansion boards without powering down the server. Any
PCI/PCI-X board can be placed in a PCI Hot Plug slot. PCI Hot Plug device
drivers and operating system support, however, are required to enable PCI
Hot Plug.
The PCI Hot Plug button allows for PCI Hot Plug access directly at each
PCI/PCI-X slot. A PCI Hot Plug button is located above each PCI/PCI-X slot,
providing PCI Hot Plug control directly at the server without the use of the
PCI Hot Plug utility software.
For more information about PCI Hot Plug, refer to the Server
Documentation CD.
Disk Controller
The Compaq ProLiant DL760 server is provided with a Dual Channel
Integrated Smart Array Controller. One channel is dedicated to the internal
drive bay and the other channel is connected to the external SCSI connector.
See Chapter 8, “Configuring the Server,” for descriptions of the features and
array setup procedures for these controllers
Server Features 1-7
.
Internal Hot-Plug Drive Bays
The internal hot-plug drive bays support four 1-inch, Ultra3 hard drives.
Drives may be of any storage capacity, but must be mounted on Compaq
universal drive carriers (hot-plug drive trays).
Internal drives are controlled by a Dual Channel Integrated Smart Array
Controller. See Chapter 8, “Configuring the Server,” for a description of the
integrated controller.
Fixed Internal Media Drive Bays
The fixed internal media drive bays support two non-hot-plug media drives:
■ 1.44-MB diskette drive
■ IDE CD-ROM drive
1-8 Compaq ProLiant DL760 Servers User Guide
Video
The Compaq Integrated PCI Video Controller with 2 MB of RAM provides
maximum resolution of 1024 x 768 non-interlaced resolution. It supports:
■ 16 to more than 256 colors, depending on graphics mode
■ SVGA, VGA, and EGA graphics resolution
Redundant Hot-Plug Power Supplies
■ The Compaq ProLiant DL760 server supports 1150/500W hot-plug
redundant power supplies.
WARNING: Hot-plug power supplies are not designed to be installed with AC
current connected to the power supply. To prevent personal injury or damage to
the equipment, be sure to disconnect the power supply from AC current prior to
its removal or installation.
■ Power supplies are load-balancing and have microcontroller monitoring
for advanced health and configuration management.
■ Supports up to two power supplies. See the Power Requirements section
of Chapter 2, “Installing the Server in a Rack,” to determine power
supply requirements.
Redundant Hot-Plug Fan
ProLiant DL760 servers include a 1+1 redundant hot-plug fan. If the primary
fan fails, the server generates a system alert and triggers the secondary fan to
take over automatically. This redundant hot-plug system fan protects the
various server components from overheating and possible system interruption.
Supported Interfaces
Supported interfaces include:
■ Ultra2 SCSI VHDCI connector
■ Serial (two connectors)
■ Video port
■ Parallel port
■ Keyboard connector
■ Mouse connector
Optional Features
The ProLiant DL760 server supports a wide range of server hardware options.
Compaq server options are available from a Compaq authorized reseller or
Compaq authorized service provider. Additional information on Compaq
servers and options can be found at the Compaq website.
This guide also provides basic installation instructions for the following server
