Memory
Intel 955X Express chipset
DDR2 SDRAM ECC MEMORY
Only unbuffered DDR2 DIMMs are supported and must be either x8 or x16 width. Memory upgrades are accomplished by adding DIMMs
of the same or varied sizes. This chart does not represent all possible memory configurations. The Intel 955X chipset supports ECC 667
MHz (PC2-5300) DDR2 memory or non-ECC and ECC 533 MHz (PC2-4300) DDR2 memory.
For best performance the total amount and type of memory loaded into Channel A and Channel B should be the same. If it is not, your
computer will see all the RAM installed but will run the memory controller at a lower performance mode. Although not required, for
best performance add the memory in pairs rather than as a single DIMM (two 512 MB DIMMs will have better performance than a single
1 GB DIMM). Also, add the memory into both channels (e.g. one in socket 1 and one in socket 3) to take advantage of dual channel
performance. If you have unused slots within a channel, make them socket 2 and socket 4. This provides the best margin for the
memory bus.
CAUTION
Mixing speeds will mean that the memory runs at the speed of the slowest DIMM.
Do not mix ECC and non-ECC memory. The system will not boot if ECC and non-ECC DIMMs are mixed.
Do not mix single-sided and double-sided DIMMs. Both sides of a double-sided DIMM must have the same memory size. Each rank
(side) of the DIMM must be the same size.
MAXIMUM MEMORY
Supports up to 8 GB of ECC DDR2 533 MHz or 4 GB of DDR2 667 MHz SDRAM

Not all memory configurations possible are represented below.

Alerts management console if memory is removed or changed
Monitors the temperature state within the chassis. Three modes:
NORMAL - normal temperature ranges
ALERTED - excessive temperatures are detected. Raises a flag so action can be taken to avoid

Saves BIOS settings to diskette or USB disk-on-key in human readable file. Repset.exe utility can then
replicate these settings on machines being deployed without entering ROM-based F10 setup
Restores computer to its original factory shipping image
Detects whether or not memory DIMMs are present and their type
Hard drive manufacturer, model, and serial number is stored in the hard drive firmware and reported in
ROM-based F10 setup
System serial number, model, & manufacturer stored in a non-volatile memory and can be retrieved with
management SW or viewed in ROM-based F10 setup
Identifies system ROM revision levels and reports in ROM-based F10 setup
Version is stored in an industry standard memory location (SMBIOS) so that management SW applications
can use and report this information
Alerts management console if memory is removed or changed
A user-defined string stored in non-volatile memory that is displayed in the BIOS splash screen
A feature of SATA and SCSI, Cyclic Redundancy Checking provides data transfer verification and proactive
notification of hard drive data transmission problems with recommendations for enhancing system
performance. It detects all the following errors' types:

Repository for storing company-specific property asset numbers for easy tracking
Initially set equal to the system serial number
Stored in a protected section of non-volatile memory that can be accessed and modified with the
F10 Setup program
Allows management SW to read revision level of the system board
Revision level is digitally encoded into the HW and cannot be modified

Drive Protection System (Adaptec and LSI SCSI controllers do not offer DPS)
A diagnostic hard drive self test. It scans critical physical components and every sector of the hard
drive for physical faults and then reports any faults to the user.
Running independently of the operating system, it can be accessed through the computer's setup
procedure. It produces an evaluation on whether the hard drive is the source of the problem and
needs to be replaced.
The system expands on the Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology (SMART), a continuously
running systems diagnostic that alerts the user to certain types of failures
DPS Access through F10 Setup during Boot (F10 diagnostic access not available with SCSI drives)
Allows hard drives to monitor their own health and to raise flags if imminent failures were predicted
Predicts failures before they occur. Tracks fault prediction and failure indication parameters such as reallocated sector count, spin retry count, calibration retry count.
By avoiding actual hard drive failures, SMART hard drives act as "insurance" against unplanned user
downtime and potential data loss from hard drive failure.
SMART I – Drive Failure Prediction
SMART II – Off-Line Data Collection
SMART III – Off-Line Read Scanning with Defect Reallocation
Padlock loop in rear of chassis. Locks side cover and secures chassis from theft. (0.22" diameter)
Kensington lock slot in rear of chassis. Locks side cover and secures chassis from theft. (3mm x 7mm
opening)
Threaded feature in rear of chassis. Locks side cover and locks cables to chassis. Secures chassis from
theft and allows multiple units to be chained together when used with optional cable.
Yes
Enable or disable serial, parallel or USB ports and hide them form the operating system
Prevents the computer from being booted from removable media on supported devices (and can disable
writes to media)
Prevents an unauthorized person from booting up the computer
Prevents an unauthorized person from changing the system configuration

Program to proactively communicate Product Change Notifications (PCNs) and Customer Advisories
by email to customers, based on a user-defined profile.
PCNs provide advance notification of hardware and software changes to be implemented in the
factory providing time to plan for transition.
Customer Advisories provide concise, effective problem resolution, greatly reducing the need to call
technical support.
Provides secure, fail-safe ROM image management from a central network console
System administrators can power on, restart, and power off a client computer from a remote
location.
Enables cost-effective power consumption when the administrator needs to distribute software,
perform security management, or update the ROM.
