!
Hot-swap SCSI disk drive backplane; a failed drive can be removed and replaced
with a new drive without system power being turned off (if an optional Redundant
Array of Independent Disks (RAID) controller is installed.)
!
High degree of SCSI disk fault tolerance and advanced disk array management
features through the use of RAID technology, if an optional RAID controller is
installed.
!
Hardware monitors (temperature and voltage) and software monitors to indicate
failures.
!
Swing-out chassis provide easy access to all parts for service.
As application requirements increase, you can expand your server system with
additional processors, additional memory, add-in boards and peripheral devices.
Your server system features the following major components:
!
Up to four high-performance Intel Xeon processors.
!
Up to 24 GB of DDR200 SDRAM four way interleaved memory.
!
Eight full-length PCI expansion slots of which four supports 64-bit hot-plug PCI-X
boards, two support 64-bit non-hot-plug PCI-X boards and two support 32-bit non-
hot-plug PCI boards. The hot-plug PCI feature is useable only when operating
system support is available.
!
Embedded PC-compatible support (serial, parallel, mouse, keyboard, diskette, IDE,
USB, LAN, and video).
!
Integrated onboard ATI RAGE XL PCI 64-bit Super Video Graphics Array (SVGA)
controller with 4 MB of video memory.
!
Adaptec® AIC7899 SCSI controller providing dual channel Ultra160 SCSI
interfaces for the hot swap hard disk drives. This controller also supports Ultra2
SCSI devices.
!
Two Integrated onboard Network Interface Controllers (NIC), an Intel 82550 NIC
that supports 10Base-T and 100Base-TX networks and an Intel 82544 NIC that
supports 10Base-T, 100Base-TX and 1000Base-T networks.
!
Single channel Ultra ATA100 enhanced IDE controller.
!
Chassis that holds up to 14 drives; ten hot-swap bays for Ultra SCSI hard disk
drives; three media bays with a CD-ROM installed; and a 3.5-inch bay with a
diskette drive.
!
Ten hot-swap SCSI hard disk drive bays (five standard bays and five optional bays)
accessible from the front of the chassis. The drives can be swapped in or out of the
system without powering down, if RAID is configured in the system.
!
SCSI backplane is Ultra160 capable.
!
Integrated dual Universal Serial Bus (USB) ports.
!
Two standard power supplies. When an additional power supply is installed, both the
standard and additional redundant power supplies become hot swappable.
