Your system is a high-speed server that offers significant service and upgrade features. Your
system includes the following service features:
- Embedded server management hardware, which monitors temperatures and voltages
throughout the system and notifies you if the system overheats, if a system cooling fan
malfunctions, or a power supply fails
- System diagnostics, which checks for hardware problems (if the system can boot)
The following system upgrade options are offered:
- Expansion-card options
- Additional memory
- Microprocessors
Besides this Installation and Troubleshooting Guide, the following documentation is
included with your system:
- User's Guide, which describes system features and technical specifications, the system
setup program, and software support utilities.
- Server management documentation, which describes the features, requirements,
installation, and basic operation of the server management software. Refer to the
software's online help for information about the alert messages issued by the software.
- System Information document, which includes important safety, regulatory, and
warranty information.
You may also have one or more of the following documents.

NOTE: Documentation updates are sometimes included with the system to describe changes to
the system or software. Always read these updates before consulting any other documentation
because the updates often contain information that supersedes the information in the other
documents.

- Operating system documentation is included with the system if you ordered the
operating system software with your system. This documentation describes how to
install (if necessary), configure, and use the operating system software.

This documentation includes information that you need to configure and install these
options in your system.
- Technical information files—sometimes called "readme" files—may be installed on
the hard drive to provide last-minute updates about technical changes to the system or
advanced technical reference material intended for experienced users or technicians.
If at any time you do not understand a procedure described in this guide, or if your system
does not perform as expected, a number of tools are available to help you. For more
information on these help tools, see "Getting Help."
