PRODUCT OVERVIEW
NEC Express5800/120Rf-2 is a system designed to deliver scaleable
performance to data centres, workgroup environments or remote sites,
for which space limitation is a prime consideration. It is especially
intended to ASPs/ISPs for hosting Internet and Web applications, and to
general corporations willing to consolidate their applications or
infrastructure services. All these customers want to be able to grow and
deploy additional servers in the same amount of space.
NEC Express5800/120Rf-2 is housed in a compact 2U rack-optimized
chassis, which allows up to 21 servers in an industry-standard 19” 42U
rack. Based on the E7501 chipset from Intel supporting 533MHz Front
Side Bus and 3-peer PCI, the Express5800/120Rf-2 takes full benefits
of the latest Xeon processors with FC-mPGA2 packaging and high-
performance DDR266 SDRAM memories.
NEC Express5800/

KEY PRODUCT FEATURES & USER BENEFITS
Next-generation Xeon Processing and Enhanced System Architecture
NEC Express5800/120Rf-2 is built to take full advantage of the latest Xeon processors from
2.80BGHz up to 3.20GHz. These processors are packaged in the new FC-mPGA2 form factor, a
603-pin socket version of the Xeon.
The design of NEC Express5800/120Rf-2 is built upon a 533MHz Front Side Bus (FSB), the
E7501 chipset from Intel and DDR266 SDRAM memory. The Intel Xeon processor for dual-
processing servers offers users several new system performance boosts, with the Intel Netburst
microarchitecture on Intel’s 0.13-micron manufacturing process, Hyper-Threading technology, a
larger cache size and the E7501 server chipset.
The Intel E7501 chipset supports DDR memory technology and is optimized for the Intel Xeon
processor. The new chipset will accelerate memory access to increase platform performance and
deliver new levels of performance for I/O intensive server applications.
This chipset also allows increased throughput and enhanced overall system performance through
the high-performance 533MHz FSB and full-speed 266MHz memory access.
Xeon TM processor
The I/O subsystem of NEC Express5800/120Rf-2 is built on a dual peer PCI bus architecture
that provides concurrency of data transfers between the different high speed I/O channels and
CPU or memory. I/O traffic is balanced as follows:
- First PCI bus (32-bit): IDE, graphics and I/O ports
- Second PCI bus (64-bit): Dual-port LAN and 3x 64-bit full-height PCI slots
- Third PCI bus (64-bit): Ultra 320 SCSI channels and 3x 64-bit low-profile PCI slots
Improved Memory Architecture
NEC Express5800/120Rf-2 offers 6 DIMM sockets for industry-standard 128MB, 256MB,
512MB, 1GB or 2GB SDRAM DDR266 DIMM. The Express5800/120Rf-2 allows easy
expansion of system’s capabilities to memory-intensive environments (scalability up to 12GB)
and comes standard with 9-bit parity/ECC 266MHz SDRAM for maximum data integrity.
High-performance Ultra 320 Disk Drives and Flexible Storage Configurations
NEC Express5800/120Rf-2 supports the latest disk drives with Ultra 320 SCSI technology
(10Krpm or 15Krpm), giving data rates of up to 320MB/s for maximum throughput.
The Express5800/120Rf-2 includes a 3.5-
inch diskette drive, a CD-ROM drive, six
hot-swap SCSI hard disk drive bays, and
removable media device bay.
The hot-swap SCSI hard disk drive bays
support up to seven 1-inch SCSI hard disk
drives that can be swapped in or out of the
system without powering it down, if RAID
functionality is configured in the system.

NEC ESMPRO Server Management Software
NEC Express5800/120Rf-2 includes NEC ESMPRO Server Management Software that allows
network administrators to monitor, control and manage NEC Express5800 servers and desktops
across a network from a management console or any PC with an Internet browser.
NEC ESMPRO enables:
• Local or remote management (via your network or the Web)
• Comprehensive real-time fault management
• Performance and load monitoring
• Broad configuration and asset management
It allows system administrators to optimise server operations through an
easy-to-use Windows-based graphical user interface.
NEC ESMPRO comes with SNMP agents for Microsoft Windows environments
accommodating all NEC Express5800 servers.
“Plug-in” applications are also available to comprehensively integrate NEC Express5800
systems with leading enterprise and network managers such as HP OpenView NNM for
Windows, Tivoli Enterprise, or CA Unicenter TNG.
To lower the Total Cost of Ownership even more, NEC Express5800/120Rf-2 features
hardware integrated remote management capabilities implemented through the Baseboard
Management Controller (BMC) and RomPilot (extended BIOS). This built-in solution provides
remote emergency access and control of server resources (via LAN or standard modem
connection) from a Management Workstation Application (MWA) allowing critical actions
such as remote power control, remote Event Log access or remote console redirection,
regardless of the state of the operating system or the network. In the past, this capability was
available only through an expensive emergency management ISA/PCI add-in card.

NEC EXPRESSBUILDER System Installation Software
NEC Express5800/120Rf-2 systems come with NEC EXPRESSBUIDER set-up and configuration
software that provides a logical and comprehensive process for your server installation.
Degradation Feature
The degradation feature automatically isolates a failed DIMM or processor to assure continuous
operation of the server when the POST (Power on Self-Test, self-diagnosis program after power on)
detects such a DIMM or processor.
Remote Power-On Feature (Wake On LAN)
NEC Express5800/120Rf-2’s system board supports Wake-on-LAN. The remote power-on function
turns on the server through a network. It sends a special packet from the management computer to a
remote server to turn it on if the server is off-powered.
System Security and Front Bezel Removing
To help prevent unauthorized entry or use of the system, the system includes a full lockable front
bezel and Server Management software that monitors the front bezel intrusion switch.
• Security with mechanical locks and monitoring:
The front bezel contains a mechanical lock and an intrusion switch to
prevent access to the computer chassis. When the cover is opened, the
switch transmits an alarm signal to the system board, where server
management software processes the signal.
A
• Software Locks via the system set up utility
The BIOS set up utility provides a number of security features to prevent
2
unauthorized or accidental access to the system. Once the security measures are
enabled, access to the system is allowed only after the user enters the correct
password(s). For example:
1
-
Enable the keyboard lockout timer so that the server requires a password to reactivate
the keyboard and mouse after a specified time-out period (1 to 120 min)
-
-
-
Set and enable an administrative password
Set and enable a user password
Set secure mode to prevent keyboard or mouse input and to prevent use of the front
panel reset and power switches
-
Disable writing to the diskette drive when secure mode is set.
