Preface Extensions and conversions

1.2 Extensions and conversions

Second processor

The system board can be upgraded with a second processor. Only processors
of the same type may be used on the system board. The second processor must
have the same clock frequency as the first processor.

Extension of the main memory

The eight slots for the main memory are suitable for PC2-3200 DDR DIMM
memory modules. Their organization in four memory banks, 0 to 3, allows fast
memory access with two-way interleaving.

Memory modules must always be installed in pairs. A memory bank must
always be fully equipped and with the same type of memory modules.

Additional accessible drives

The accessible drives available are a floppy disk drive and a CD-ROM/DVD
drive. The drives can be installed in the two top bays. The left-hand bay is
intended for a 3.5 x 0.5 inch floppy drive or a LocalView module, while the right­hand bay takes a 5.25 x 0.5 inch CD-ROM/DVD drive.

LocalView module (alphanumeric system display)

The LocalView module gives you the option of displaying system information
and hardware system faults alphanumerically. This is an intelligent module with
a microcontroller and its own memory, which functions independently of the
server system.

The LocalView module consists of an LCD display panel and a toggle switch,
both accommodated in a suitable mount. The mechanism used allows the LCD
display panel to be pulled out and opened out.

For more information on operation and display modes, see the documentation
for the LocalView module [6].

Extensions and conversions Preface

Additional controllers in non-hot-plug PCI slots

The system board offers two PCI-X slots:
– PCI-X slot 1: 64 bit/133 MHz, max. length 315 mm
– PCI-X slot 2: 64 bit/66 MHz, low profile, max. length 175 mm

I Both slots are not hot-pluggable.

RemoteView

RemoteView provides you with a comprehensive remote test and diagnostics
package.

RemoteView Service Board S2 LP

The RemoteView Service Board S2 “low profile” (RSB S2 LP) is a PCI board
with a completely independent system, i.e. it has its own operating system with
Web server and SNMP agents and can optionally be equipped with an external
power supply.

The RSB S2 LP is inserted into a standard-PCI slot via a riser card and
connected to the system board by means of a cable.

The RSB S2 LP permits remote diagnosis for system analysis, remote system
configuration and remote restart even in the event of operating system failure or
hardware faults. It has its own LAN connection and its own COM port. All the
functions of the RSB S2 LP are thus available either via LAN or via modem.
