This document provides updated information about the following topics for your system:
•Installing the SCSI cable strain-relief bracket
•System features
•Microprocessor features
•System memory features
•System board connectors for memory modules
•Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet Server Adapter
•Console redirection special key functions
Installing the SCSI Cable Strain-Relief Bracket
1 Turn off the system, including any attached peripherals, and disconnect the system
from the electrical outlet.
2 Ensure that the system is pushed back as far as possible in the rack.
3 Connect any SCSI cables to the system before connecting the I/O cables.
NOTE: To use the strain-relief bracket, only two SCSI cables can be connected to each I/O
slot at a time. The cables cannot be stacked, one above the other; they must be either sideby-side or placed diagonally to each other.
4
Install the strain-relief bracket to the back of the system.
aInsert the ends of the three long portions of the strain-relief bracket into the three
matching holes in the rail bracket (see Figure 1-1).
bSecure the captive thumbscrew to the back of the system (see Figure 1-1).
5 Connect the I/O cables to the back of the system.
For information on routing system cables, see your Rack Installation Guide.

System Features
Your system contains the following new system features:
•Up to two Intel
internal operating speed of at least 2.0 GHz, and 512 KB of internal level-2 cache.
NOTE: Your system does not support dual microprocessors with different front-side buses.
NOTE: Your system must have BIOS version A13 or later.

Xeon™ microprocessors with a front-side bus speed of 533 MHz, an
Microprocessor Features
The Intel Xeon microprocessors in your system provide NetBurst microarchitecture and
Hyper-Threading Technology to significantly increase microprocessor performance. HyperThreading allows one physical microprocessor to appear as two logical processors to the
operating system and application programs. Hyper-Threading also allows each
microprocessor to simultaneously execute multiple tasks using shared hardware resources.
These new technology features in the microprocessor provide the following for
multithreaded tasks:
•Enhanced system performance
•Improved reaction and response time for the system
•Increased number of users that a system can support
•Increased number of transactions that can be executed simultaneously by the system
The CPU Information option in the System Setup program’s main screen displays
information about the different processors in the system (speed, cache size, and others.).
After the microprocessor information is displayed, you can enable or disable HyperThreading by changing the setting of the Logical Processor option. (The default is
Enabled.)
System Memory Features
Your system features redundant memory, which provides the system with a failover memory
bank when an active memory bank has excessive single-bit errors. This failover occurs
without the need to halt or restart the system. You can enable this feature in the System
Setup program. For more information about the System Setup program, see your User's Guide.
To enable the Redundant Memory option in the System Setup program, all memory slots in
the system must be populated, and all memory modules must be of the same type and size.
The redundant memory options vary according to the number of populated memory banks
and whether identical memory modules are installed in each bank:
•Disabled — One or more banks are not populated, or not all memory modules are of
the same type and size.
•Disabled and Spare Bank Enabled — All three memory banks are populated with
memory modules of the same size and type.

System Board Connectors for Memory Modules
See Figure 1-2 for the location and the updated description of the memory module
connectors on the system board.
For more information on system board connectors, see your Installation and Troubleshooting Guide.

Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet Server
Adapter
When a Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet Server Adapter is installed and Wakeup
On LAN (WOL) is enabled, your system’s connection speed is 10/100 Mbps. The
Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Server Adapter only supports 10/100-Mbps links when WOL
is enabled and the system is in Microsoft
hibernation.
When the operating system loads and the correct drivers are installed, your supported
connection speed is 10/100/1000 Mbps. It is recommended that when WOL support is
required, the Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Server Adapter is connected to a 10/100/1000
link partner in autonegotiation mode.
WOL is supported on only one Ethernet port in the system, which does not include the
system management port. If you are using an integrated NIC for this purpose, you must use
the NIC 1 connector. WOL is not supported on Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit 5703
Ethernet adapters.
You can find more information about Hyper-Threading Technology at developer.intel.com.

Console Redirection Special Key Functions
Table 1-1 lists additional ANSI escape sequences that represent a special key or function.
For additional information on console redirection and configuring special key functions, see
"Console Redirection" in your User’s Guide.
NOTE: ANSI escape-sequence key combinations listed in Table 1-1 are case-sensitive.
For example, to generate the character <Insert> you must press <Esc> and then
press <Shift><+>.
