Does the EVS104 support SCSI Drives?

Yes and No. The EVS104 is really an IDE-based server designed for applications that do not require the higher bandwidth that SCSI drives provide. If you are looking for an entry-level SCSI-based system, the SVS104 should provide all the requisite features. If you require SCSI support for an external SCSI device such as a tape archive subsystem, the EVS104 can be upgraded with a PCI SCSI expansion card. The EVS104 does not support internal SCSI devices such as hard-disks.

How many disks can be installed in the EVS104?

The EVS104 can support up to two internal 3.5" hard-disk drives. It does not support any further device bay expansion but does include an integrated 1.44MB floppy drive and 24x IDE CDROM drive which can be upgraded to a CD-writer or DVD device.

What is included with the EVS104?

Whoa! - what's not included!? Every EVS104 ships with a 2yr next-business day on-site warranty, 30-days of free getting-started support, complimentary 2m Cat-5 cables, a copy of the latest Red Hat Linux distribution on CD and a Red Hat Linux Updates CD for the included distribution. Oh --- and our gratitude for your custom :-).

What operating systems does the EVS104 support?

The EVS104 is built using standard X86 technology and therefore can run any OS that provides driver support for its network hardware and video subsystem. It is certified by Xinit to run Red Hat Linux. Other Linux distributions including Debian and SuSE are also supported but have not been qualified to the level of Red Hat. Customers can also run Windows® NT/2000 although Xinit Systems advises against it (why punish a perfectly innocent server?).

How many network ports does the EVS104 have?

The EVS104 ships with two embedded Intel Pro/100+ Fast Ethernet ports as standard. Customers can choose to upgrade the EVS104 to provide up to 6 (six) ethernet port via an optional PCI expansion card.

I want to run "foo" software on the EVS104, is it supported?

Xinit Systems delivers the EVS104 with Red Hat Linux pre-installed. There is an enormous selection of Open Source software included with the standard install that we perform. If you have any specific queries about the compatibility of a an application with our server hardware, it is best to contact the vendor of the application to enquire what specific OS versions are supported and what hardware is required. Please contact Xinit Systems support for final verification.
