1.2 Extensions and conversions

Extension of the main memory

The four slots for the main memory are suitable for DDR1 333/400 MHz (unbuf­fered) SDRAM memory modules. The organization in two memory banks, 1 and
2, permits rapid memory access with two-way interleaving.

If the memory modules are populated in pairs, each pair must consist of
identical memory modules (2-way interleaved mode).

Additional SATA hard disk drives

In the SATA version four bays are available for SATA hard disk drives.

2 Options Guide U41604-Z156-1-76

Introduction Extensions and conversions

Additional accessible drives

Three 5.25-inch bays are available for accessible drives. The top side bay is
already occupied by a CD/DVD ROM drive.

Hard disks extension box

In the SCSI version the two lower 5.25-inch bays for accessible drives can be
used to integrate a hard disks extension box.

The hard disks extension box enables up to three additional HDD modules to be
integrated. Each HDD module can accommodate a SCSI hard disk drive with
an SCA (Single Connector Attachment) interface and a height of at most 1 inch.
The connection to the SCSI backplane is made without cables via the SCA
interface. This makes it simple to plug in or pull out the HDD modules. If the
server has a RAID controller and the corresponding RAID configuration,
defective HDD modules can also be replaced while the system is operating.

Additional controllers in the PCI slots

The system board offers six PCI slots: 2 x PCI-X (64 Bit / 66 MHz), 3 x PCI (32
Bit / 33 MHz) and 1 x PCI-Express x1 slot.

The PCI slot 2 is prepared for Zero Channel RAID (ZCR).

RemoteView Service Board S2 LP

The RemoteView Service Board S2 LP (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 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 a LAN
or modem.

External SCSI interface

If the internal hard disks are connected via a PCI RAID controller, one channel
of the on-board controller can also be made available for connecting a
peripheral cabinet SX10 via an external SCSI interface.

U41604-Z156-1-76 Options Guide 3

Notational conventions Introduction

Conversion standard power supply to hot-plug power supply

The standard power supply can be replaced by a hot-plug power supply. The
hot-plug power supply consists of two power supply modules.

If one power supply module fails, the other power supply module guarantees the
unrestricted operation and the defective power supply module can be replaced
be replaced while the system is operating (hot-plug).

Conversion of the floorstand model to a rack model

The floorstand model can optionally be converted so that the server can be
integrated into the common rack systems.
