PRODUCT OVERVIEW

NEC Express5800/120Lh

NEC Express5800/120Lh

NEC Express5800/120Lh server is an efficient solution
for workgr o up us er s lo oki ng for a fi l e/pri n t ser ver or
application server at a competitive price.

NEC Express 5800/120Lh bui ld on the E7520 chips et
from INTEL supp or ti n g 800MHz Front Side Bus, the
Express5800/120L h takes full ben efits of th e latest

Xeon processors with high-performance SDRAM
PC2700 memories.

NEC Express5800/120Lh is a b i-processor des ign
supporting 64-bit Intel® Xeon™ Processors

3.60GHz/3.20GHz with a 800MHz system bus and 1MB
2nd cache (2MB on the 3.60GHz model). It supports
Intel Extended Memory 64 Technology, the industry’ s
latest en ha ncement that all ows Intel’s IA-32 pr ocessors
to run 64-bit code and to access large memory amounts.

NEC Express5800/120Lh delivers up to 16GB DDR333

SDRAM memory (8 DIMM sockets) with ECC capability.

Designed for medium-sized
and ent erprise-class
business networks,
and serve as a file/printer server
or application server that
offers superior dependability,
scalability, and costeffective nes s.

In addition, NEC Express5800/120Lh supports up to 9
hot-swap drives (2.7TB max) with Ultra 320
technology, enabling on-board RAID 0/1 as standard,

without a separate mirroring controlle r.
This prevents loss of important data and allows higher
system availability in the event of a disk failure, while
reducing th e c ost for the ex tr a devi ce.

For optimal I/O expandability, NEC Express5800/120Lh
offers 6 expansion slots ; two x8 PCI Expr ess slots,
one 64bit/133MHz PCI-X slot, two 64bit/100MHz PCI-X
slots and on e 32 bi t/ 33M H z PCI slot.

To ensure continuous system operation, optionally hot-
swap redundant power supply and cooling fans are
supported.

Designed with simplicity for easy installation and
manageability, NEC Expre s s5800/120Lh comes
standar d wi t h NEC EXPRESSBUILDER set-up and
confi guration softw are and NEC E SMPRO management
software. In addition, it incorporates unique integrated
remote management capabilitie s providing remote
emergency access and control of server resources (via
LAN or modem connection) in any situation.

KEY PRODUCT FEATURES & USER BENEFITS

Next-generation Xeon Processing and Enhanced System Architecture

NEC Express5800/120Lh is built to take full advantage of the latest Xeon processors.
The new Xeon processor incorporates Extended Memory 64 Technology (EM64T).
By supporting EM64T, memory addressing has been extended to run 64-bit code,
allowing traditi onal pr ocessors to acc ess larger memor y amounts of higher than 4GB.

The design of NEC Express5800/120Lh is built upon a 800MHz Front Side Bus (FSB),
the E7520 chipset from Intel and PC2700 SDRAM memory. The E7520 chipset offers
higher processor speeds for dual-processor allows increased throughput and enhanced
overall system performanc e through the high-performance 800MHz FSB.

The I/O subsystem of NEC Express5800/120Lh provides concurrency of data transfers
between the different high speed I/O channels and CPU or memory.

Improved Memory Architecture

NEC Express5800/120Lh offers 8 DIMM sockets for industry-standard 256MB, 512MB,
1GB and 2GB SDRAM PC2700 DIMM. The Express5800/120Lh allows easy expansion
of system’s capabilities to memory-intensive environments (scalabilit y up to 16GB) and
comes standard with DDR 333MHz SDRAM for maximum data integrity.

NEC Express5800/120Lh supports chipkill memory, memory mirroring and on-line spare memory to ensure
continuous system operation.

High-performance Ultra 320 Disk Drives

NEC Express5800/120Lh supports the advanced disk drives with Ultra320 SCSI
technology (10Krpm or 15Krpm), giving data rates of up to 320MBps for excellent
throughput. The system is equipped with 6 hot-swap disk bays. In addition, three
more hard disk drives can be added by installing the HDD Adapter Kit for Device
Bay in the 5-inch device bays. (two device bays are occupied)

Integrated Ultra 320 I/O Controller with Integrated RAID0/1

NEC Express5800/120Lh system board features an integrated two-channel SCSI controller,
providing Ultr a320 SCSI interfaces to support Ultra320 hard-disk driv es and SCSI media
devices such as DAT and AIT.

This SCSI controller supports RAID 0/1 as standard. This prevents loss of important data
and allows higher system availabilit y i n the event of a disk failure, while reducing the cost
for the extra device.

The system board also includes a single-channel EIDE controller, provi ding support for
the internally mounted CD-ROM drive.
