NOTE:
The base model must be ordered with a processor kit.
2 Processor
Available sockets: 1
NOTE:
One processor kit from above must be installed.
The processor kit must be ordered with the base model.
3 Memory
Available slots: 4
NOTE:
Minimum one memory kit must be installed.
It is recommended to install two identical memory kits for dual-channel symmetric configuration to
increase memory transfer speed.
Actual DIMM speed sets to 1066 MHz when you choose Pentium Processor.

Maximum Available Memory
See the table below for the maximum memory size that you can actually use on your system.
The maximum available memory is less than the maximum physical memory supported by your system
because some chipsets require PCI resource space of about 750MB. PCI resource requirements vary
depending on the type and the number of PCI cards you are using.
4 Internal Hard Disk Drives
4.1 RAID Configuration
Refer to the section in accordance with your disk form factor and RAID configuration.
4.1.1 3.5-inch Drive
NOTE:
An optional RAID controller is required to configure RAID 0 or 1 on Linux operating systems.
An optional RAID controller occupies one PCI slot.
On-board SATA Controller does not support RAID 10 configured with 2TB HDDs.
All hard drives within a RAID array should be of the same capacity.
