Zenith Data Systems Introduces New Server Line-up: Z-SERVER MX Offers
High-end Features in Affordable Package

Z SERVER MX Hot-swap Drive, SMP Server Targeted for Mid-size,
High-Availability LAN Market

Buffalo Grove, IL-- June 19, 1995-- Zenith Data Systems announced today the
availability of its latest mid-size PC server: the Z-SERVER MX. The
Z-SERVER MX is designed to provide many high-end server features such as
ECC memory, hot-swap drives and symmetrical multiprocessing (SMP) without
high-end, premium prices. The design of the Z-SERVER MX is a direct
response to trends in business LAN use. More and more customers are
planning ahead for SMP implementation of network operating systems and
demanding more fault tolerant features in their network servers. The
Z-SERVER MX allows customers to buy into a server platform with these
features at an affordable level and upgrade as their networks grow.

Z-SERVER MX Features

The flexibility of the Z-SERVER MX makes it a perfect solution in lesser
configurations for file and print services in workgroups, yet is easily
expanded to a high-performance application server. The bottom line is
customer investment protection.

Processor Technology

The Z-SERVER MX accommodates one to two 75MHz Pentium processors or one to
two 90 MHz Pentiums. Each 75MHz processor owns a dedicated 256KB
write-back L2 cache, while the 90MHz systems incorporate 512KB cache per
processor. The dedicated cache design of the Z-SERVER MX is essential for
growth into high-performance, high capacity multiple processor operating
systems and dedicated database and communications server applications.

Motherboard Features

The Z-SERVER MX design incorporates a number of server "must haves"
integrated onto the system motherboard, including:

* Two integrated Fast-Wide SCSI-2 interfaces for disk RAID, tape
  and optical storage
* Maximum of 768MB of ECC memory on board through 12 72-pin SIMM
  sockets on two memory boards
* A 512KB Flash BIOS ROM
* Integrated PCI SVGA video with 512KB video memory, expandable
  to 1 MB
* 4 EISA, 2 PCI and 2 EISA/PCI shared bus slots

Storage Features

The Z-SERVER MX accommodates up to six hot plug hard drives. In addition,
each chassis holds four front-accessible 5.25" devices and one 3.5"
device. Each unit ships standard with a triple speed CD-ROM drive and one
3.5" 1.44 MB floppy drive.

System Utilities

Each unit ships with EISA and PCI configuration utilities, EZ-SCSI and ASPI
SCSI drivers, SVGA drivers for DOS and Windows and a 101-key keyboard.

Server Options

The Z-SERVER WG can be configured with a number of options including PCI
Z-RAID controller for hardware RAID, 32 or 16-bit Ethernet adapters, QIC
and DAT tape backup and many other popular server add-ons.

Every ZDS Z-SERVER product is covered by ZDS' three-year, on-site,
next-business-day limited warranty. Optional Z-CARE service includes
four-hour response, installation, file server setup and network support
services through ZDS' nation-wide support organization. As with all Zenith
Data Systems products, the Z-SERVER MX is supported through toll-free, 24
hour technical support, seven days a week.
