The system board holds the system's control circuitry and other electronic components. Several hardware options such as the processor and memory are
installed directly on the system board. Using a riser board, the system can accommodate up to two expansion cards. The upper slot supports PCI 32-bit, 33-
MHz (5.0 V) expansion cards and the lower slot supports PCI-X 64-bit, 66-MHz (3.3 V) expansion cards.

 

The hard-drive bays provide space for up to two SATA or SCSI drives, an optional CD drive, and an optional diskette drive. The SCSI hard drives must be
connected to a controller card. Power is supplied to the system board, hard drives, and internal peripherals through a single nonredundant power supply.
