Dell PowerEdge 4400 - Manual (Page 34)

l
A single, 1.44-MB 3.5-inch diskette drive.
l A 17/40x SCSI CD-ROM drive.
The system board includes the following integrated features:
l Seven PCI slots located on the system board. PCI slots 1 through 4 are hot-pluggable. PCI slots 1 and 2 are 64-bit, 66-MHz PCI slots; PCI
slots 3 and 4 are 64-bit, 33-MHz PCI slots; PCI slots 5 and 6 are 64-bit, 33-
MHz slots. Slot 7 provides a 32-bit, 33-MHz PCI slot for use with
the optional Dell OpenManage™ Remote Assistant Card (DRAC) or other PCI accessories.
l An integrated Intel PRO/100+ network interface controller (NIC), which provides an Ethernet interface and failover and load balancing with
single and dual ports.
l An integrated Adaptec AIC-7899 dual-channel Ultra 160/m SCSI host adapter that supports up to ten SCSI hard-disk drives (eight 1-inch
hard disk drives via a SCSI backplane board and two 1-inch hard-disk drives via an external SCSI hard-
disk drive media bay). The SCSI
backplane automatically configures SCSI ID numbers and SCSI termination on individual hard-disk drives, greatly simplifying drive
installation.
l An optional integrated PowerEdge Expandable RAID Controller (PERC) 3/Di that supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, and 10. The Ultra 160/m
SCSI host adapter can become RAID capable with the addition of the PERC 3/Di.
l
An integrated Adaptec AIC-7880 Ultra/Wide SCSI secondary host adapter (implemented as Ultra/Narrow) that supports up to three
externally accessible SCSI devices in the external hard-disk drive bays (for example, CD-ROM drive, tape drive unit).
l
An integrated video graphics array (VGA)- compatible video subsystem with an ATI RAGE IIC video controller. This video subsystem
contains 4 MB of synchronous dynamic RAM (SDRAM) video memory (nonupgradable). Maximum resolutions are 1600 x 1200 x 65K colors
(noninterlaced). The maximum true-color resolution is 1152 x 864; 16.7 million colors are available for true-color graphics.
l
An integrated National Semiconductor PC97317 super input/output (I/O) controller that controls the bidirectional parallel port, two serial ports,
keyboard, mouse, and the diskette drive in the externally accessible front bay.
The parallel port can be set to operate in the following modes via the Parallel Mode option in the System Setup program: output-only (AT-
compatible), bidirectional (Personal System/2 [PS/2]-compatible.
l Integrated server management circuitry that monitors operation of the system fans as well as critical system voltages and temperatures. The
integrated server management circuitry works in conjunction with the optional HP OpenView Network Node Manager Special Edition (NNM
SE) and the Dell OpenManage Hardware Instrumentation Package (HIP) software package.
l System board support for the Dell OpenManage Remote Assistant when the optional DRAC 2 is installed, which provides additional local
and remote server management.
l
A PS/2-style keyboard port, dual Universal Serial Bus (USB) ports, and a PS/2-compatible mouse port.
Standard PowerEdge 4400 systems include a 3.5-inch diskette drive and a SCSI CD-ROM drive installed in the externally accessible bays and a
SCSI hard-disk drive installed in slot 0.
The following software is included in your PowerEdge system:
l Video drivers for displaying many popular application programs in high-resolution modes. For more information on these drivers, see " Using
the Dell OpenManage Server Assistant CD ."
l SCSI device drivers that allow the operating system to communicate with devices attached to the integrated SCSI subsystem. For more
information on these drivers, see "
Installing and Configuring SCSI Drivers ."
l The System Setup program for quickly viewing and changing the system configuration information for your computer.
l
The Resource Configuration Utility , which allows you to configure installed expansion cards through software rather than on the hardware.
l Enhanced security features available through either the System Setup program or the Resource Configuration Utility, including a user
password and a supervisor password.
l Diagnostics for evaluating your computer's components and devices. For information on using the system diagnostics, see " Using the Dell
OpenManage Server Assistant CD " or see "Running the Dell Diagnostics" in your Installation and Troubleshooting Guide.
Supported Operating Systems
Dell supports the following network operating systems for use on PowerEdge 4400 systems:
l Windows NT Server 4.0, Service Pack 4 or later
l NetWare 4.2 and 5.0
NOTE: Installation service and support for other operating systems are available through Dell Plus. For more information, see "Getting
Help" in your Installation and Troubleshooting Guide.
