v

Integrated

network

support

The

server

comes

with

two

integrated

Broadcom

Gigabit

Ethernet

controllers,

which

support

connection

to

a

10-Mbps,

100-Mbps,

or

1000-Mbps

network.

For

more

information,

see

“Configuring

the

Gigabit

Ethernet

controller”

on

page

v

Large

data-storage

and

hot-swap

capability

The

server

supports

up

to

eight

or

twelve

2.5-inch

hot-swap

hard

disk

drives

in

the

hot-swap

bays

(depending

on

the

model

and

optional

devices

installed).

With

the

hot-swap

feature,

you

v

Memory

mirroring

Memory

mirroring

improves

the

availability

of

memory

by

writing

information

to

the

main

memory

and

redundant

locations

in

a

mirrored

pair

of

DIMMs.

v

Large

system-memory

capacity

The

memory

bus

supports

up

to

128

GB

of

system

memory.

The

memory

controller

supports

error

correcting

code

(ECC)

for

up

to

16

industry-standard

PC3-10600R-999

(single-rank

or

dual-rank),

v

PCI

adapter

capabilities

The

server

supports

up

to

four

PCI

interface

slots.

For

more

information,

see

“Installing

a

PCI

v

Redundant

connection

The

addition

of

the

optional

Ethernet

daughter

card

provides

failover

capability

to

a

redundant

Ethernet

connection

with

the

applicable

application

installed.

If

a

problem

occurs

with

the

primary

Ethernet

connection

and

the

optional

Ethernet

daughter

card

is

installed

on

the

server,

all

Ethernet

traffic

that

is

associated

with

the

primary

connection

is

automatically

switched

to

the

optional

redundant

Ethernet

daughter

card

connection.

If

the

applicable

device

drivers

are

installed,

this

switching

occurs

without

data

loss

and

without

user

intervention.

v

Redundant

cooling

and

power

capabilities

The

server

supports

three

hot-swap

fans,

which

provide

redundant

cooling.

Redundant

cooling

enables

continued

operation

if

one

of

the

fans

fails.

The

server

supports

up

to

two

675-watt

ac

power

supplies,

which

provide

redundancy

and

hot-swap

capability

for

a

typical

configuration.

If

the

maximum

load

on

the

server

is

less

than

675

watts

and

a

problem

occurs

with

one

of

the

power

supplies,

the

other

power

supply

can

meet

the

power

requirements.

v

RAID

support

The

server

supports

an

internal

RAID

SAS

Controller,

which

is

required

for

you

to

use

the

hot-swap

hard

disk

drives

and

to

create

redundant

array

of

independent

disks

(RAID)

configurations.

v

TCP/IP

offload

engine

(TOE)

support

The

Ethernet

controllers

in

the

server

support

TOE,

which

is

a

technology

that

offloads

the

TCP/IP

flow

from

the

microprocessors

and

I/O

subsystem

to

increase

the

speed

of

the

TCP/IP

flow.

When
