All NSCs are comming with different revisions of Adaptec AAA-131x RAID
controllers, running RAID1 als fault tolerant SCSI system. Most drives are from IBM,
having 4 gigabyte but restricted to 2 gig. WIN-NT4 server could not boot from larger
volumes than 2 gig and there is no need to have more than 2 gig.
The NSC II has a dual P II CPU Intel board blown from a large size fan in the
front. The Chassis formfactor is a 19" rackmount case with 4 units hight, means
double as high as a NSC 1. It is from very heavy steel and it has a lot of space inside
too.
Dont search for a floppy or a CD , there is none too. But there are 2 physical 100
Mbit(s LAN ports and one logical LAN port.
nice, solid and heavy black 19" rack cases
We surely know, that today you may buy smaller and more powerful servers for
less money. But you need a working environment, to transfer the running software from an
1998 PC-server to a 2004 PC-server.
We are working on that because we
have a lot of dual PIII 600 Compaq servers (1850r) for testing
As we found out, the mainboard BIOS revision is not critical. But
the Adaptec RAID software and Bios revision is extreemly critical. It took us several days
to find out what is running and what does not.
