This section describes the major hardware and software features of your system. It also provides information about other documents you may need when setting up your system and how to obtain technical assistance.
•One or two dual-core AMD Opteron™ processors. One or two quad-core AMD Opteron™ processors (when available).
•A minimum of 1 GB (single-processor systems) or 2 GB (two-processor systems) of 667-MHz registered parity DDR-II memory modules. Memory is upgradable to a maximum of 32 GB (two-processor systems) by installing combinations of 512-MB, 1-GB, 2-GB, or 4-GB memory modules in the eight memory module sockets on the system board. (64 GB of memory will be supported when 8 GB memory modules are available.)
•Support for up to eight 2.5-inch, internal hot-pluggable Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) or SATA hard drives.
•The optional media bay provides support for an optional half-height tape backup unit (TBU) and an optional slim-line 1.44-MB diskette drive.
•An optional slim-line IDE CD, DVD, or combination CD-RW/DVD drive.
NOTE: DVD devices are data only.
•An intrusion switch that signals the appropriate systems management software if the cover is opened.
•Up to two hot-pluggable, 750-W power supplies in an optional 1 + 1 redundant configuration.
•Four hot-pluggable system cooling fans.
The system board includes the following features:
•A left riser card that has one full-length PCIe x8 lane slot and one half-length PCIe x4 lane slot.
•A center riser card that has one half-length PCIe x8 lane slot.
•A dedicated slot for an integrated SAS host bus adapter, which supports up to four 2.5-inch SAS or SATA hard drives, or an optional RAID controller card with 256 MB of cache memory and
a RAID battery, which supports up to eight 2.5-inch SAS or SATA hard drives.
NOTE: System boot is not supported from an external device attached to a SAS or SCSI adapter, including SAS 5/E, PERC 5/E, or PERC 4e/DC. See support.dell.com for the latest support information about booting from external devices.

Unpacking the System
Unpack your system and identify each item.
Keep all shipping materials in case you need them later.
Installing the Rails and System in a Rack
Once you have read the "Safety Instructions" located in the rack installation documentation for your system, install the rails and the system in the rack.
See your rack installation documentation for instructions on installing your system in a rack.
6 Getting Started With Your System
Connecting the Keyboard, Mouse, and Monitor
Connect the keyboard, mouse, and monitor (optional).
The connectors on the back of your system have icons indicating which cable to plug into each connector. Be sure to tighten the screws (if any) on the monitor's cable connector.
Connecting the Power
Connect the monitor’s power cable to the monitor (optional), and connect the system’s power cable(s) to the system.

Installing the Power Cord Retention Bracket
Attach the power cord retention bracket on the right bend of the power supply handle. Bend the system power cable into a loop as shown in the illustration and attach to the bracket’s cable clasp. Repeat the procedure for the second power supply.
Plug the other end of the power cables into a grounded electrical outlet or a separate power source such as an uninterrupted power supply (UPS) or a power distribution unit (PDU).
Turning on the System
Turn on the system and monitor (optional).
With the bezel removed, press the power button on the system and the monitor. The power indicators should light. Adjust the monitor's controls until the displayed image is satisfactory.
8 Getting Started With Your System
Installing the Bezel
Install the bezel (optional).
Complete the 0perating System Setup
If you purchased a preinstalled operating system, see the operating system documentation that ships with your system. To install an operating system for the first time, see the Quick Installation Guide. Be sure the operating system is installed before installing hardware or software not purchased with the system.
