System Features

The major hardware and software features of your system include:
• One or two Dual-Core Intel
• Support for symmetric multiprocessing (SMP), which is available on systems
with two Intel Xeon processors. SMP greatly improves overall system
performance by dividing processor operations between independent
processors. To take advantage of this feature, you must use an operating
system that supports multiprocessing.
NOTE:
If you decide to upgrade your system by installing a second processor,
you must order the processor upgrade kits from your supplier. Not all versions
of the Intel Xeon processor will work properly as additional processors. The
upgrade kit contains the correct version of the processor, heat sink, and fan
as well as the instructions for performing the upgrade.
• A minimum of 512 MB of 533 or 667 MHz (when available), Fully
Buffered DIMMs (FBD), upgradable to a maximum of 48 GB by installing
combinations of 256-MB, 512-MB, 1-GB, 2-GB, or 4-GB memory modules
in the twelve memory module sockets on the system board.
The system also features redundant memory, which provides memory
sparing or memory mirroring. Either feature is available if eight or twelve
identical memory modules are installed.
• Support for up to ten 3.5-inch, internal hot-pluggable Serial-Attached
SCSI (SAS) or SATA hard drives (eight 3.5-inch internal hard drives
with hot-pluggable backplane board, and support for two additional
hot-pluggable 3.5-inch drives in the peripheral bay using the optional
1x2 flexbay backplane board).
• Peripheral bay provides support for an optional optical drive and an
optional half-height tape backup unit (TBU). A full-height TBU is
supported with the 1x2 flexbay bracket removed.
• An optional single, 1.44-MB, 3.5-inch diskette drive.
• An optional CD, DVD, or combination CD-RW/DVD drive.
NOTE:
DVD devices are data only.
• An intrusion switch that signals the appropriate systems management
software if the top cover is opened.
• Up to two hot-pluggable, 930-W power supplies in a 1 + 1 redundant
configuration.
• Six hot-pluggable system cooling fans.
