1-4 System Overview

As application requirements increase, you can expand your server with an additional
processor, additional memory, add-in boards and peripheral devices: tape devices, CD-
ROM, diskette drives and hard disk drives.

Your server features the following major components:

!

Single or dual high-performance Pentium processors packaged in Single Edge
Connector (SEC) cartridges.

!

32 MB to 1 GB of memory, using up to four DIMMs.

!

Four PCI expansion slots for add-in boards (one slot shared with an ISA slot). 1x32
bit PCI bus.

!

Two ISA expansion slots for add-in boards (one slot shared with a PCI slot).
Embedded PC-compatible support (serial, parallel, mouse, keyboard, diskette, and
Plug and Play features).

!

Integrated onboard Cirrus Logic CL-GD5480 Super Video Graphics Array (SVGA)
controller with 2 MB of video memory.

!

Dual Symbios SYM53C875 SCSI controllers providing ultra wide and legacy
narrow SCSI interfaces.

!

Integrated onboard Network Interface Controller (NIC), an Intel 82558 PCI LAN
controller for 10 or 100 Mbps TX Fast Ethernet networks. RJ-45 Ethernet
connector.

!

Dual Channel enhanced IDE controller.

!

Chassis that holds up to 12 drives: seven hot-swap bays for ultra-2 (LVD) SCSI hard
drives; five removable media expansion bays with a CD-ROM reader already
installed in one bay; and a half-height bay with a diskette drive already installed in
the bay.

!

Seven hot-swap SCSI hard disk drive bays accessible from the front of the chassis.
The bays are secured behind a lockable front door where the drives can be swapped
in or out of the system without powering it down, if RAID is configured in the
system.

!

SCSI backplane is Ultra-2 (LVD) ready.

!

Integrated dual Universal Serial Bus (USB) ports.

!

One standard power supply module with a slot available for an additional redundant
power supply module. When an additional power supply module is installed, both
the standard and additional redundant power supply module slots become hot
swappable.

!

Hardware monitors (temperature, fans, and voltage) and software monitors to
indicate failures.
