Dell PowerApp 200 User Manual

The Dell™ PowerApp™ 200 appliance is an ultra-slim, full-featured, rack-mounted, turn-key device with an embedded operating system. Combined with innovative setup and administrative tools and utilities, the PowerApp 200 provides specific and reliable functionality in a rack-dense form factor.

PowerApp systems offer the following major features:

One Intel® Pentium® III microprocessor.

The Pentium III microprocessor includes MMX™ technology designed to handle complex multimedia and communications software. This microprocessor incorporates new instructions and data types as well as a technique called single instruction, multiple data (SIMD) that allows the microprocessor to process multiple data elements in parallel, thereby improving overall system performance.

A secondary level 2 (L2) cache of static random-access memory (SRAM) is included within the single-edge contact (SEC) cartridge that contains the microprocessor. Math coprocessor functions are provided by the microprocessor. A separate and external math coprocessor chip is not used or required.

The size of the L2 cache is dependent on the processor installed in the system.

Front side bus (FSB) with an external bus speed of 133 megahertz (MHz).

A minimum of 512 megabytes (MB) of system memory, with a maximum of 2 gigabytes (GB) installed in combinations of 128-MB, 512-MB, 1-GB, or 2-GB registered synchronous dynamic RAM (SDRAM) dual in-line memory modules (DIMMs) in the four DIMM sockets on the system board.

A basic input/output system (BIOS) that resides in flash memory on the Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) bus.

Support for up to four 1-inch, hot-pluggable small computer system interface (SCSI) hard-disk drives. One additional 1-inch hard-disk drive can be installed in the optional removable media bay.

Introduction 1-1

A power-supply distribution board to accommodate up to two independent power supplies. One power supply is standard; a second can be added to make the system redundant.

A single 1.44-MB, 3.5-inch diskette drive.

A 24X integrated drive electronics (IDE) CD-ROM drive.

The system board includes the following integrated features:

Three PCI slots located on the riser card.

An Intel PRO/100+ network interface controller (NIC), which provides an Ethernet interface.

An Adaptec AIC-7899 Ultra3 (Ultra160) SCSI host adapter that supports up to five SCSI hard-disk drives (four 1-inch hard-disk drives via a SCSI backplane board and one 1-inch hard-disk drive via an optional 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.

A video graphics array (VGA)-compatible video subsystem with an ATI RAGE IIC video controller. This video subsystem contains 4 MB of SDRAM video memory (nonupgradable). Maximum resolution is 1600 x 1200 x 256 colors (noninterlaced).

A National Semiconductor PC97317 super input/output (I/O) controller that controls the bidirectional parallel port, two serial ports, keyboard, mouse, and the diskette drive.

Server management circuitry that monitors operation of the system fans as well as critical system voltages and temperatures.

System board support for the Dell OpenManage™ Remote Assistant when the optional Dell OpenManage Remote Assistant Card 2 (DRAC 2) is installed, which provides additional local and remote server management.

A Personal System/2 (PS/2)-style keyboard port, dual Universal Serial Bus (USB) ports, and a PS/2-compatible mouse port.

Standard PowerApp systems include a 3.5-inch diskette drive and an IDE CD-ROM drive installed in the externally accessible bays and a SCSI hard-disk drive installed in slot 0.

The following software is included with your PowerApp system:

Diagnostics for evaluating your system’s components and devices. For information on using the system diagnostics, see “Running the Dell Diagnostics” in your

Troubleshooting Guide.

Kickstart configuration utility and reinstallation media for the appliance.

Your Dell PowerApp system was preinstalled with an operating system. See the operating system documentation for additional information.
