PCI card slots and PCI/AGP card slot

You can install PCI expansion cards in the three slots. The two slots on the left side of the
server hold 12-inch cards; the slot on the right side holds a 7-inch card, and can also be
configured to hold an AGP card, which requires a special adapter. (See “About PCI Cards for
the Server” on page 68 for more infor
mation about card requirements.)

RAM expansion slots

You can expand DDR RAM up to 2 GB, using the four slots. (See “Adding Memory” on
page 65 for more infor
mation.)

Power supply

The auto-switching power supply detects the input voltage and adjusts for it. A thermal
control adjusts the speed of the power supply’s fan as needed.

Blowers

The blowers cool the server during operation. Sensors detect and report if a blower needs
service. Software adjusts the blower’s speed as necessary.

Chassis release latches

Press these latches to slide the server to its full length when in the rack, or to remove it
from the cover.
