The major hardware and software features of your system include:
•One or two Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processors 5000 Sequence.
•Support for symmetric multiprocessing (SMP), which is available on systems
with two Intel Xeon processors. SMP greatly improves overall system
performance by dividing processor operations between independent
processors. To take advantage of this feature, you must use an operating
system that supports multiprocessing.
NOTE: If you decide to upgrade your system by installing a second processor,
you must order the processor upgrade kits from your supplier. Not all versions
of the Intel Xeon processor will work properly as additional processors. The
upgrade kit contains the correct version of the processor, heat sink, and fan
as well as the instructions for performing the upgrade.
•A minimum of 512 MB of 533 or 667 MHz (when available), Fully
Buffered DIMMs (FBD), upgradable to a maximum of 48 GB by installing
combinations of 256-MB, 512-MB, 1-GB, 2-GB, or 4-GB memory modules
in the twelve memory module sockets on the system board.
The system also features redundant memory, which provides memory
sparing or memory mirroring. Either feature is available if eight or twelve
identical memory modules are installed.
•Support for up to ten 3.5-inch, internal hot-pluggable Serial-Attached
SCSI (SAS) or SATA hard drives (eight 3.5-inch internal hard drives
with hot-pluggable backplane board, and support for two additional
hot-pluggable 3.5-inch drives in the peripheral bay using the optional
1x2 flexbay backplane board).
•Peripheral bay provides support for an optional optical drive and an
optional half-height tape backup unit (TBU). A full-height TBU is
supported with the 1x2 flexbay bracket removed.
•An optional single, 1.44-MB, 3.5-inch diskette drive.
•An optional 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 top cover is opened.
•Up to two hot-pluggable, 930-W power supplies in a 1 + 1 redundant
configuration.
•Six hot-pluggable system cooling fans.
Getting Started With Your System5
The system board includes the following features:
•Six PCI slots located in an expansion-card cage. Slots 1 and 2 are 3.3-V,
64-bit, 133-MHz PCI-X slots; slot 3 is a 3.3-V, PCIe x8 lane; slots 4 through 6
are 3.3-V, PCIe x4 lanes. Expansion-card slots accommodate full-height,
full-length expansion cards. PCIe slots accommodate up to x8 expansion
cards.
•Dedicated PCI slot for an integrated SAS host bus adapter or an optional
integrated RAID controller card with 256 MB of cache memory and a
RAID battery.
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. Contact
your technical support provider for the latest support information about
booting from external devices.
•Two integrated Gigabit Ethernet NICs, capable of supporting 10-Mbps,
100-Mbps, and 1000-Mbps data rates.
•Six USB 2.0-compliant connectors (two on the front and four on the back)
capable of supporting a diskette drive, a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive,
a keyboard, a mouse, or a USB flash drive.
•Optional remote access controller (RAC) for remote systems management.
•An integrated VGA-compatible video subsystem with an ATI ES1000,
33-MHz PCI video controller. This video subsystem contains 16 MB of
DDR SDRAM video memory (nonupgradable). Maximum resolution is
1600 x 1200 with 64 K colors; true-color graphics are supported in the
following resolutions: 640 x 480, 800 x 600, 1024 x 768, 1152 x 864, and
1280 x 1024. When the optional RAC is installed, the video resolution
is 1024 X 768.
•Systems management circuitry that monitors operation of the system fans
as well as critical system voltages and temperatures. The systems
management circuitry works in conjunction with the systems management
software.
•Standard baseboard management controller with serial access.
•Back-panel connectors include one serial, one video, four USB, and
two NIC connectors.
6Getting Started With Your System
•Front-panel connectors include a video and two USB connectors.
•Front-panel 1x5 LCD for system ID and error messaging.
•System ID button on the front and back panels.

Installation and Configuration
CAUTION: Before performing the following procedure, read and follow the
safety instructions and important regulatory information in your Product Information Guide.
This section describes the steps to set up your system for the first time.
The illustrations that follow show a rack-mounted system, but the installation
procedure applies in large part to a stand-alone tower system. In place of the
rack installation in step 2, refer to the documentation included with your
system on installing the stabilizer feet on your system.
CAUTION: Installing the feet on a stand-alone tower system is necessary to
provide a stable foundation for the system. Failure to install the feet poses the
risk of having the system tip over, possibly causing bodily injury or damage to
the system.
CAUTION: Whenever you need to lift the system, get others to assist you. To avoid
injury, do not attempt to lift the system by yourself.
Unpacking the System
Unpack your system and identify each item.
Keep all shipping materials in case you need them later.
8Getting Started With Your System
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.

your system in a rack.
For a tower system, see the documentation included with your system on
installing the system stabilizer feet.
Getting Started With Your System9

Plug the other end of the cable into a grounded electrical outlet or a
separate power source such as an uninterrupted power supply (UPS)
or a power distribution unit (PDU).
10Getting Started With Your 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.
Turning on the System
Turn on the system and monitor (optional).
Press the power button on the system and the monitor. The power
