The POST may halt when a non-optimal memory configuration is detected and the following message is displayed:

Non-Optimal Memory Configuration Press F1 to continue or F2 for Setup

NOTE: Mixing DIMMs of different speeds renders the memory configuration

non6Hoptimal. The system clocks down the performance to the slowest speed in the DIMM set for the channel.

Optional Internal USB Memory Key

The PowerEdge 1950 III system provides an internal USB connector located on the system board for use with a USB flash memory key (see Figure 1-1). The USB memory key can be used as a boot device, security key, or mass storage device. To use the internal USB connector, the Internal USB Port option must be enabled in the Integrated Devices screen of the System Setup program. See "Integrated Devices Screen" on page 22.

6 Information Update

NOTE: USB keys that contain multiple LUNs (Logical Unit Numbers) must be

formatted using the format utility provided by the key manufacturer.

NOTE: To avoid interference with components inside the system, the USB key must

conform to the following maximum dimensions: 11.68mm thick (0.46") x 24.89mm width (0.98") x 66.8mm length (2.63").

Hardware Owner’s

Support for 8-GB Memory Modules – PowerEdge 1950 III Systems

PowerEdge 1950 III systems have added support for the following approved 8-GB memory configurations:

• 64 GB — 8 x 8-GB quad-rank memory modules

• 48 GB — 4 x 8-GB quad-rank and 4 x 4-GB dual-rank memory modules

If 64 GB of memory is installed, the system only recognizes and displays

63.75 GB during POST.

NOTE: Prior to upgrading your system, verify that the latest system BIOS version is on your

system. Loading the latest BIOS version ensures that your system is fully supported.

NOTE: Some operating systems cannot support more than 4 GB of physical memory. For

more information on memory support requirements and restrictions, refer to the operating system documentation that ships with your system.

Processor Upgrades – PowerEdge 1950 II and PowerEdge 1950 III Systems

• If the front of your system chassis is labeled with a "II," your system is upgradeable to the 5100 series of dual-core Intel Xeon processors and the 5300 series of quad-core Intel Xeon processors.

• If the front of your system chassis is labeled with a "III," your system is upgradeable to the 5100 and 5200 series of dual-core Intel Xeon processors and the 5300 and 5400 series of quad-core Intel Xeon processors.

See support.dell.com for information on the latest processor upgrade options for your system.

Information Update 9

System Board Replacement – Safeguarding Encrypted Data

On PowerEdge 1950 III systems using Windows Server® 2008, you can use encryption programs, such as the BitLocker utility, to secure the contents of the hard drive.

If you are using the TPM with an encryption application, you are prompted to create a recovery key during system setup. Be sure to store this recovery key. If you replace the system board, you must supply the recovery key when you restart your system before you can access the encrypted files on your hard drive(s).

System Message Update

TPM Clear (No default)

CAUTION: Clearing the TPM causes loss of all

encryption keys in the TPM. This prevents booting to the operating system and results in loss of data if the encryption keys cannot be restored. Be sure to back up the TPM keys prior to enabling this option.

When set to Yes , all the contents of the TPM are cleared.

NOTE: This field is read-only when TPM Security is set

Operating System Information

Enumeration of NICs

Linux operating system versions that use the udev kernel device manager enumerate the NICs differently than earlier Linux versions that used the devfs device manager. Although this does not affect system functionality, when using Red Hat Linux Enterprise Server 9 or 10 operating systems, the NICs are enumerated in reverse: NIC1 is configured as eth1 instead of eth0, and NIC2 is configured as eth0 instead of eth1. For information on how to change the default device enumerations, see the "Network Interface Card Naming" white paper available at linux.dell.com.
