Notices

FCC notice

Class A devices do not have an FCC logo or FCC IDE on the label. Class B devices have an FCC logo or FCC IDE on the label. Once the class of the device is determined, refer to the following corresponding statement.

Class A equipment

This device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This device generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy, and if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this device in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.

However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this device does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the device off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna

Increase the separation between the device and receiver

Connect the device into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected

Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for help

Shielded cables

All connections to other computing devices must be made using shielded cables to maintain compliance with FCC regulations.

iv

Peripheral devices

Only peripherals (input/output devices, terminals, printers, etc.) certified to comply with the Class A or Class B limits may be attached to this equipment. Operation with noncertified peripherals is likely to result in interference to radio and TV reception.

Caution: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s authority, which is granted by the Federal Communications Commission, to operate this server.

Use conditions

This part complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Canadian users

This Class A/Class B digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian Interference-Causing Equipment Regulations.

Laser compliance statement

The CD-ROM drive in this server is a laser product. The CD-ROM drive’s classification label (shown below) is located on the drive.

4Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The product may fall, causing serious damage to the product.

5Slots and openings on the back or bottom side of the chassis are provided for ventilation; to ensure reliable operation of the product and to protect it from overheating, these openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This product should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register, or in a built-in installation unless proper ventilation is provided.

6This product should be operated from the type of power indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power available, consult your dealer or local power company.

7Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not locate this product where persons will walk on the cord.

8If an extension cord is used with this product, make sure that the total ampere rating of the equipment plugged into the extension cord does not exceed the extension cord ampere rating. Also, make sure that the total rating of all products plugged into the wall outlet does not exceed the fuse rating.

9Never push objects of any kind into this product through chassis slots as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.

10Do not attempt to service this product yourself, as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage points or other risks. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

11Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

vi

aWhen the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed

bIf liquid has been spilled into the product

cIf the product has been exposed to rain or water

dIf the product does not operate normally when the operating instructions are followed. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions since improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the product to normal condition.

eIf the product has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged

fIf the product exhibits a distinct change in performance, indicating a need for service.

12Replace the battery with the same type as the product's battery we recommend. Use of another battery may present a risk of fire or explosion. Refer battery replacement to a qualified service technician.

13Warning! Batteries may explode if not handled properly. Do not disassemble or dispose of them in fire. Keep them away from children and dispose of used batteries promptly.

14Use only the proper type of power supply cord set (provided in your accessories box) for this unit. It should be a detachable type: UL listed/CSA certified, type SPT-2, rated 7A 125V minimum, VDE approved or its equivalent. Maximum length is 15 feet (4.6 meters).

Product briefing

This section provides basic information concerning the configuration of your Altos R510 system.

Processor

Single or dual Intel® XeonTM processors with 800 MHz FSB

CPU Hyper-ThreadingTM Technology support

Supports Extended memory 64bit technology (EM64T)

Memory subsystem

Six (184 - pin) DIMM slots

DDR2 400 MHz registered memory modules supported

Maximum upgrade - 12 GB

2-way memory interleaving supported

SDDC (Single Device Data Correction) for memory error detection and correction of any number of bit failures in a single x4 memory device

Memory sparing technology

When memory sparing is enabled, the spare DIMM will not be detected by OS

The sparing DIMM will be reserved for standby purposes and

cannot be accessed by the system1

Please refer to page116 "Memory Configuration Sub-menu Selections" for more information about configuring the memory sparing in the BIOS Setup utility

1 For example, if six 1GB DIMMs are installed (6 GB memory) only 4GB of memory (in DIMM 1B, 1A, 2B, 2A) can be accessed by the system. Memory in DIMM 3B and DIMM 3A would be reserved as spare DIMMs

Caution! When using multiple memory modules it is recommended that you AVOID using modules from different manufacturers or that run at different speeds from each other.

4

1 System information

Warning! Functionality issues may be encountered if mixed memory types are installed on the same server board. DIMM modules of identical type, banking and stacking technology, and vendor should be installed in the Altos R510.
