Specifications
The system offers the following features:
- Up to two Intel® Xeon™ microprocessors with a speed of at least 1.8 GHz, a front side bus speed of at least 400 MHz, and a 512-KB Level 2 cache
- A minimum of 128 MB of ECC DDR 266 SDRAM memory, upgradable to a maximum of 4 GB by installing 128-, 256-, 512-MB, or 1-GB registered memory modules in the four memory module sockets on the system board
- Support for the following internal hard-drive configurations:
- Up to six 1-inch Ultra3 SCSI hot-plug hard drives
- Up to four 1-inch non-hot-plug SCSI or IDE hard drives
- Integrated SCSI controller for SCSI hard drives and integrated IDE controller for IDE hard drives, CD drive, and optional DVD and combination drives
- Optional single-channel RAID controller for SCSI RAID or optional quad-channel RAID controller for IDE RAID
- Integrated internal drive mirroring, which allows two SCSI disks (hot-plug or non-hot-plug) to be mirrored on the integrated SCSI controller
- Two 5.25-inch peripheral drive bays that support the following optional drives: CD, DVD, combination CD/DVD, or tape backup unit (SCSI or IDE)
The system board includes the following built-in features:
- Six PCI expansion slots: two 32-bit, 33-MHz PCI slots; two 64-bit, 66-MHz PCI slots; two 64-bit, 100-MHz PCI-X slots.
- An integrated VGA-compatible video subsystem with an ATI RAGE XL video controller. This video subsystem contains 8 MB of SDRAM video memory (nonupgradable). Maximum resolution is 1280 x 1024 pixels and 16.7 million colors (noninterlaced).
- An integrated Gigabit Ethernet NIC, capable of supporting 10-Mbps, 100-Mbps, and 1000-Mbps data rates.
- Systems management circuitry that monitors critical system voltages and temperatures. The systems management circuitry works in conjunction with the systems management software.
- Optional remote access card for remote systems management (not supported on systems with IDE hard drives).
- Optional hot-plug redundant power supplies.
- Chassis intrusion alarm, padlock tabs for internal security, and a bezel lock that prevents access to the hot-plug hard drives.
Standard systems include a diskette drive and IDE CD drive, installed in an externally accessible bay. An optional DVD or combination drive is also available.
The following software is included with the system:
- The System Setup program for quickly viewing and changing the system configuration information for the system. For more information on this program, see "Using the System Setup Program."
- Enhanced security features, including a system password and a setup password, available through the System Setup program.
- Diagnostics for evaluating the system's components and devices. For information on using the system diagnostics, see "Running the System Diagnostics."
- Optional tape backup software.
For a list of documents that provide more information on the system's features, see "Other Documents You May Need."
The system supports the following operating systems:
- Microsoft® Windows® 2000 Server
- Microsoft Windows 2000 SBS
- Red Hat Linux 7.3 or later
- Novell® NetWare® version 6.0 or later
Certain devices protect the system from the effects of problems such as power surges and power failures.
- PDU — Uses circuit breakers to ensure that the AC current load does not exceed the PDU's rating.
- Surge protector — Prevents voltage spikes, such as those that may occur during an electrical storm, from entering the system through the electrical outlet. They do not protect against brownouts, which occur when the voltage drops more than 20 percent below the normal AC line voltage level.
- Line conditioner — Maintains a system's AC power source voltage at a moderately constant level and provides protection from brownouts, but does not protect against a complete power loss.
- UPS — Uses battery power to keep the system running when AC power is unavailable. The battery is charged by AC power while it is available so that after AC power is lost, the battery can provide power to the system for a limited amount of time—from 15 minutes to approximately an hour. A UPS that provides only 5 minutes of battery power allows you to shutdown the system. Use surge protectors and PDUs with all universal power supplies, and ensure that the UPS is UL-safety approved.
