Overview

About the PE SC1430-based Honeywell server

Platforms sold by Honeywell are engineered for the process control mission of Experion
and TPS systems to provide consistent, robust performance. Through an extensive
qualification process, Honeywell defines specific peripheral devices, slot locations, and
BIOS settings for best performance and reliability, sometimes even adding cooling fans
for longer service. Honeywell platforms are then built to Honeywell specifications by
the computer manufacturer.
Honeywell engineering has tested the PE SC1430-based Honeywell server with other
Honeywell hardware and software and has qualified its use for specific configurations as
identified in the Software Change Notice (SCN). This server is not a standard Dell
model and cannot be ordered independently from Dell. The Technical Assistance Center
(TAC) is trained on and fully supports Honeywell platforms. Use of any other server,
including a similar Dell model, is considered a project special and its TAC support is
limited according to the services policy.
This server platform provides computer-based functionality for the Experion system and
the TPS system. For TPS systems and certain Experion systems configured with FTE,
the server has an LCNP4M card installed, which allows connection to the TotalPlant
Process Network (TPN) coax through the LCN Media Access Unit (MAU).
Additionally, this server connects to the Ethernet using the onboard NIC interface or the
optional FTE Ethernet through an installed dual NIC card.

Software requirements

This server runs on Windows Server 2003 Operating System only. The server platform
runs the latest version of Application Processing Platform (APP Node) or Experion
Server (ESVT, ESV, ACE, EHG, or SIM). Refer to the latest SCN for software
applications that have been qualified for use on the PE SC1430-based server platform.

BIOS configuration

All server platforms must have release 1.3.0 or later version of BIOS installed.
