Take advantage of the new Intel® Xeon processor. The CSS ZETA-PRIMED.  Based on  ACCs's DG560-QX and ACCs New quad and octo(8 way) mainboard, this processor design offers powerful solutions previously unavailable at such an affordable price. Based on Intel's leading-edge Xeon and Itanium processor technologies, the ZETA Server Control Complex provides the processing speed and full-speed L2 cache sizes necessary to run the most demanding applications, both today and tomorrow. The ZETA can meet a wide range of needs, with processing speeds starting at 700 MHz to 1.7GHz and cache sizes ranging from 256 KB to 4 MB. In addition, theZETA offers true scalability by supporting from one to eight Pentium III Xeon processors.  Today, we support the Xeon and soon the ITANIUM-64.  Military Buyers can purchase overclocked editions up to slightly 6.8 GHz with appropriate requisition orders. Chassis available: 4way Cab, 4way Rack, 8way Cab, 8way Rack, 16way Rack, and MultiRack.  Water Cooling  and Gas Cap Kyrotec are optional.
 

Bringing Quad Server Platforms to Your Dual Processor Market Segment
The ZETA-PRIMED is a smart investment regardless of your current needs, because it's designed to respond to changing business environments. Buy the power you need today and have immediate upgrade capability for your needs tomorrow. Using groundbreaking architecture, the iSC5600QX ServerSet  and the Xeon/Itanium CPUs give you 4-way power and 8-way power and flexibility for the price of a 2-way design.

Combining Intel Reliability and High Availability Features for Maximum Uptime
Like all CSS server products, the ZETA is built for uncompromising reliability and maximum uptime. From component selection to the latest in system architecture, this dependable platform is designed to power critical business applications with minimal downtime. High availability features include hot-swap power supplies, hot-swap SCSI drive bays and robust clustering options enabled by Service Mode. 

Service Your System Without Interrupting Your Business
Service/Cluster Mode has been designed for clustering, allowing the internal drive array to remain on-line while the main electronics are powered off for upgrades and maintenance. In this mode, up to 256 Servers can continue to access the drives through the LVDS SCSI bus and our new SCSI-160 Drive Clustering extensions.  This can apply to single volumes up to 2 Terabytes in size, and supports Windows NT, Windows 2000 Server and Linux Server with JPL Turbo Cluster extensions. 

Lower Ownership Costs Through Manageability
To control ownership costs, the ZETA contains a complete set of manageability features so you can anticipate problems. For example, an Emergency Management Port (EMP) provides remote access through a modem. Service technicians can remotely observe critical event logs and reset or power cycle the ZETA server platform. The ZETA's powerful on-board management controller and Intel Server Control (ISC) management software let you monitor and control the server's temperatures and voltages, chassis security, baseboard inventory and other hardware functions. Management redundancy also is achieved through the ZETA's incorporation of Inter-Chassis Management Bus (ICMB) architecture.
