NOTICE: 1200-watt power supplies are not supported.

Server Module Features

• One or two Intel® Xeon® Processor 5000 Sequence.

• Support for symmetric multiprocessing (SMP), which 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.

• A minimum of 512 MB of 533-MHz or 677-MHz (when available) DDR II fully-buffered DIMM (FBD) memory modules, upgradable to a maximum of 32 GB by installing combinations of 256-MB, 512-MB, 1-GB, 2-GB, or 4-GB two-way interleaving memory modules in the eight memory module sockets on the system board.

The system also supports memory sparing or memory mirroring if all eight memory module sockets are populated with identical memory modules.

Getting Started With Your System 3

• Support for up to two 2.5-inch, SAS or SATA hot-pluggable hard drives.

NOTE: SAS and SATA hard drives cannot be mixed within a server module.

• Integrated internal drive mirroring allows two disks to be mirrored through the integrated RAID controller.

• An external port to support USB devices using the custom cable. USB devices include a mouse, a keyboard, flash drive, a 1.44-MB, 3.5-inch diskette drive, or an optical drive.

NOTE: Only Dell-supplied USB diskette drives and optical drives are supported; use only a USB 2.0-compliant

cable with a length not to exceed 3 meters (118.1 inches).

• An integrated VGA-compatible video subsystem with an ATI ES1000 video controller. This video subsystem contains 16 MB of SDRAM video memory (nonupgradable). Maximum resolution is 1280 x 1024 x 65,000 colors (noninterlaced).

• 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.

For more information about specific features, see "Technical Specifications."

The following software is included with your system:

• A System Setup program for quickly viewing and changing system configuration information. For more information on this program, see "Using the System Setup Program" in your

Manual

• Enhanced security features, including a system password and a setup password, available through the System Setup program.

• System diagnostics for evaluating system components and devices. For information about using the system diagnostics, see "Running the System Diagnostics" in your

• Video drivers for displaying many popular application programs in high-resolution modes.

• Systems management software and documentation. Systems management software is used to manage and monitor each individual server module as well as the system as a whole, including all of the server modules, network switch modules, power supplies, and fans. Systems management software manages the system locally and remotely on a network. Dell recommends that you use the systems management software provided with this system.
