Supports multiple, heterogeneous Superdome platforms.
The Windows ProLiant SMS/Console is comprised of a ProLiant ML350 G3/G4 and a TFT5600 retractable display
monitor/keyboard/mouse to enable console access. This solution also requires (and includes) a switch. This is because scan
diagnostics will not work properly if more than one IP address exists on the ProLiant SMS/Console. An important difference
between the UNIX rx2600 SMS and the Windows ProLiant SMS/Console is that the ProLiant SMS, by default, provides
console functionality whereas the UNIX rx2600 SMS does not. The TFT5600 retractable display/keyboard which is an
optional add-on for the UNIX-based rx2600 SMS, is included by default with the Windows ProLiant SMS.
Additionally, the Windows ProLiant SMS/Console includes an internal modem that is intended for connection to a phone
line. This is for cases in which the Customer does not want the SMS to be on a public network, and HP Field Services needs
to access the SMS (they would then access the SMS via the phone line and PCAnywhere.)
A customer may not substitute any PC running Windows Server 2000 SP4 for the ProLiant SMS/Console due to the
specialized software applications that have been qualified on the hardware and OS. Utilizing any other device as the SMS
will void the warranty on the Superdome system and degrade the ability to service the system.

1 x HP ProLiant server ML350 G3/G4
1 x Intel Xeon ™ DP 3.06 GHz CPU
2 x 256MB

All SMS software is preloaded in the factory and delivered to the customer as a complete solution.
The UNIX rx2600 SMS supports only HP UX 11i at this time. Current versions of the SMS software have not been qualified for
64 bit Windows.
The Windows ProLiant SMS/Console will run Windows 2000 SP4 as the default operating system. The ProLiant
SMS/Console will follow the Windows OS roadmap and support later versions of this operating system as needed. The
version of the scan tools used on the sx1000 Superdomes also does not require scan traffic to be isolated from console
traffic.
