System Features

This section describes the major hardware and software features of your

system. It also provides information about other documents you may need

when setting up your system and how to obtain technical assistance.

• Two dual-core or quad-core AMD Opteron™ processors.

• A minimum of 2 GB single- or dual-ranked 667-MHz DDR2 (PC2-5300)

memory modules (installed in two sets of pairs). Memory is upgradable to

a maximum of 128 GB by installing combinations of 512-MB, 1-GB, 2-GB,

4-GB, or 8-GB memory modules in the 16 memory module sockets

(eight per CPU) on the system board.

• Support for up to two 2.5-inch, internal hot-pluggable Serial Attached

SCSI (SAS) or SATA hard drives.

• An optional slim-line SATA DVD-ROM drive, slim-line SATA DVD-RW

drive, or combination CD-RW/DVD drive (when available).

NOTE: DVD devices are data only.

• An intrusion switch that signals the appropriate systems management

software if the cover is opened.

• Up to two hot-pluggable, 700-W power supplies in an optional 1 + 1

redundant configuration.

• Six hot-pluggable system cooling fans.

• Optional support for iSCSI boot.

The system board includes the following features:

• A right riser card (riser 1) containing two PCIe (x4 and x8) slots. The right

riser card also contains an SD (Secure Digital) slot for embedded OS

support.

• A left riser card (riser 2) containing one full-length PCIe (x8) slot

and one half-length PCIe (x8) slot.

• An integrated SAS controller card (via a dedicated PCIe slot on the

sideplane board) supporting both SAS 6i/R and PERC 6/i adapters.

• Optional integrated PERC controller (PERC 6i) with integrated cache

and battery backup.

• Four integrated Gigabit Ethernet NICs, capable of supporting 10-Mbps,

100-Mbps, and 1000-Mbps data rates.

Getting Started With Your System 3

• Four external USB 2.0-compliant connectors (two on the front and two

on the back) supporting a diskette drive, a DVD-ROM drive, a keyboard,

a mouse, or a USB flash drive.

• One internal USB 2.0-compliant connector supporting an optional

bootable USB flash drive or USB security key.

• Optional remote access controller (RAC) for remote systems management.

• An integrated VGA-compatible video subsystem based on an integrated

ATI ES1000 33-MHz PCI video controller. The video subsystem includes

32MB of graphics memory and supports various 2D graphics video modes.

Maximum resolution is 1600x1200 with 65,536 colors. (When the optional

RAC is installed, the maximum resolution of the integrated video

subsystem is 1280x1024.)

• Systems management circuitry that monitors operation of the system fans

as well as critical system voltages, temperatures, and system power

consumption. The systems management circuitry works in conjunction

with the systems management software.

• Standard Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) with serial and LAN

access.

• Back-panel connectors include one serial, one video, two USB,

and four NIC connectors.

• Front-panel connectors include a video and two USB connectors.

• Front-panel 1x5 LCD for system ID and error messaging.
