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.

RAM expansion slots

You can expand DDR RAM up to 2 GB, using the four slots. (See “Adding Memory” on
page 56 for more infor
mation.)

Power supply

The autoswitching power supply detects the voltage and adjusts for it. This component has
a sensor that detects and reports if the power supply needs service.

Blowers

The blowers cool the server during operation. Sensors detect and report if a blower needs
service.

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.
