The NetServer LS Series of network servers (about $6506 to $18,611) are scalable from single-processor Intel Pentium/75 systems to quad-symmetric-multiprocessor Pentium/100 and Pentium/133 systems. Features include a 64-bit clock-independent system bus; dual PCI peer buses; dual PCI fast-and-wide SCSI-2 controllers in RAID levels 0, 1, 5, and 6; dedicated Level 2 caches; error-checking-and-correcting memory that's expandable to 768 MB; and MPS support. A hot-swap disk subsystem lets you replace failed drives while the server continues to work and automatically reconstructs data on a spare drive. An Automatic Server Restart feature reactivates the server if the network OS hangs.
