Integration Guide for New Dual-Core Intel

Xeon

Processor-Based Servers (or Workstations) Rev 1.0

1 Introduction

1.1 Document Overview

This document outlines the procedures for deploying a new Dual-Core Intel

Xeon

processor-based

server (or workstation) with Red Hat

Enterprise Linux

4 Update 2.

The process of properly integrating a new server (or workstation) system typically requires access to

several source documents, each containing pertinent information. The purpose of this document is to

extract the essential information needed from the various sources and place it into one comprehensive

document.

See the References section of this document for the complete list of source documents used.

In addition this document will provide any useful “tips and tricks” that may have been discovered during

the development of this system.

1.2 Target Audience

z Intel Channel program members who currently integrate Intel

Server Products or are new to server

platforms

z System integrators who deploy the new Dual-Core Intel

Xeon

processor-based servers (or

workstations)

1.3 Document Objective

Our intent is to better enable system integrators in meeting the competitive challenges they face in the

server market and to keep program members up-to-date on emerging server technologies. By following

the steps outlined in this document you will be able to deploy a stable new Dual-Core Intel

Xeon

processor-based server (or workstation) using Intel components running Red Hat

Enterprise Linux

Update 2 in a timely and effective manner.
