System Features
The major hardware and software features of your system include:
• Two or four dual-core AMD Opteron™ 8000 Series processors.
• A minimum of 2 GB (dual-processor systems) or 4 GB (four-processor systems) of 667-MHz registered
DDR-II memory modules. Memory is upgradable to a maximum of 64 GB (four-processor systems)
by installing combinations of 512-MB, 1-GB, 2-GB, or 4-GB memory modules in the sixteen memory
module sockets on the system board. (128 GB of memory will be supported when 8 GB memory
modules are available.)
• Support for up to five 3.5-inch hot-plug SAS hard drives.
• An optional internal 1.44-MB, 3.5-inch diskette drive.
• An optional internal slim-line optical drive.
• An optional external USB diskette drive.
• An optional external USB optical drive.
• Two hot-pluggable, 1570-W power supplies in an 1 + 1 redundant configuration. The power supplies
support an input voltage range of 100 V to 208 V.
• Four hot-pluggable system cooling fans.
The system board includes the following features:
•
Two x8 lane-width PCI-Express (PCIe) expansion slots and six x4 lane-width PCIe slots.
(One x4 lane-width slot is occupied by the SAS controller card.) Four expansion slots (two x8 slots
and two x4 slots) support full-length expansion cards.
• Two integrated Gb Ethernet NICs, capable of supporting 10-Mbps, 100-Mbps, and 1000-Mbps data
rates. Each NIC also supports TCP/IP offload engine (TOE) functionality.
• Four USB 2.0-compliant connectors (two on the front panel and two on the back panel), capable
of supporting a diskette drive, an optical drive, a keyboard, a mouse, or a USB flash drive.
• 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 (BMC) with serial access.
• An optional remote access controller (RAC) card for remote systems management.
•
An integrated VGA-compatible video subsystem based on an integrated
video controller. The video subsystem includes 16 MB of graphics memory and supports various 2D
graphics video modes. Maximum resolution is 1600x1280 with 65,536 colors. (
RAC is installed, the integrated video subsystem is disabled and the video controller on the RAC is
used instead.)

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.
Unpacking the System
Unpack your system and identify each item.(Your system may not include the optional rack kit
and bezel shown here.)
Keep all shipping materials in case you need them later.
Getting Started With Your System 5
Installing the System in a Rack
Install the system in the rack once you have read the "Safety Instructions" located in the rack
installation documentation for your system.
See your rack installation documentation for instructions on installing your system in a rack.
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.
NOTE: If you simultaneously connect two monitors to the system, using the front and rear video connections,
the video will default to the front since only one display can operate at a time.
6 Getting Started With Your System
Connecting the System and Monitor Power Cables
Connect the monitor's power cable to the monitor (optional). Connect the system’s power cables
to the system.
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). If possible, connect
the power supplies to two different 110V power sources or two different 220V power sources,
depending on the power supplies used.
Turning on the System and Monitor
Press the power button on the system and the monitor (optional). The power indicators should light.
Adjust the monitor's controls until the displayed image is satisfactory.
If you have purchased the optional system bezel, install it after turning on the system.
Getting Started With Your System 7
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.
