3.1. Technical Features
The Escala S100 model features a single PowerPC 604e RISC processor at 233MHz or 332 MHz and
the S120 features a single PowerPC 604e RISC processor at 250 or 375MHz (maximum one CPU
board). The PowerPC 604e processor has 32KB of instruction and data cache and 1MB of L2 cache for
fast data transfer between the processor and memory for balanced system performance.
The S100 has a Fast Wide SCSI bus for disks, 6 memory slots, 5 I/O slots (5 PCI 32-bit slots, 2 shared
PCI/ISA slots) and supports up to 2 media (including the CD-ROM) and up to 3 disks (including the
system disk).
The S120 has an Ultra Wide SCSI bus for disks, 4 memory slots, 5 I/O slots (5 PCI 32-bit slots) and
supports up to 2 media (including the CD-ROM) and up to 3 disks (including the system disk).
Maximum memory:
S100: 768 MB (swapping the 64 MB base memory, otherwise 704 MB).
S120 1 GB (swapping the 128 MB base memory, otherwise 896 MB).
The maximum internal disks capacity is 45.5 GB (9.1 + 2x18.2GB) using 3 bays in the base cabinet.
.
2 discontinued expansion disk cabinets allowed 127.4 GB (2x(7x9.1) GB) additional storage capacity.
