System Features
This section describes the major hardware and software features of your system. It also provides information about other documents you may need when setting up your system and how to obtain technical assistance.
- Two dual-core or quad-core AMD Opteron™ processors.
- A minimum of 2 GB single- or dual-ranked 667-MHz DDR2 (PC2-5300) memory modules (installed in two sets of pairs). Memory is upgradable to a maximum of 128 GB by installing combinations of 512-MB, 1-GB, 2-GB, 4-GB, or 8-GB memory modules in the 16 memory module sockets (eight per CPU) on the system board.
- Support for up to two 2.5-inch, internal hot-pluggable Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) or SATA hard drives.
- An optional slim-line SATA DVD-ROM drive, slim-line SATA DVD-RW drive, or combination CD-RW/DVD drive (when available).
NOTE: DVD devices are data only.
- An intrusion switch that signals the appropriate systems management software if the cover is opened.
- Up to two hot-pluggable, 700-W power supplies in an optional 1 + 1 redundant configuration.
- Six hot-pluggable system cooling fans.
- Optional support for iSCSI boot.
The system board includes the following features:
- A right riser card (riser 1) containing two PCIe (x4 and x8) slots. The right riser card also contains an SD (Secure Digital) slot for embedded OS support.
- A left riser card (riser 2) containing one full-length PCIe (x8) slot and one half-length PCIe (x8) slot.
- An integrated SAS controller card (via a dedicated PCIe slot on the sideplane board) supporting both SAS 6i/R and PERC 6/i adapters.
- Optional integrated PERC controller (PERC 6i) with integrated cache and battery backup.
-
Four integrated Gigabit Ethernet NICs, capable of supporting 10-Mbps, 100-Mbps, and 1000-Mbps data rates.
-
Four external USB 2.0-compliant connectors (two on the front and two on the back) supporting a diskette drive, a DVD-ROM drive, a keyboard, a mouse, or a USB flash drive.
- One internal USB 2.0-compliant connector supporting an optional bootable USB flash drive or USB security key.
- Optional remote access controller (RAC) for remote systems management.
- An integrated VGA-compatible video subsystem based on an integrated ATI ES1000 33-MHz PCI video controller. The video subsystem includes 32MB of graphics memory and supports various 2D graphics video modes. Maximum resolution is 1600 × 1200 with 65,536 colors. (When the optional RAC is installed, the maximum resolution of the integrated video subsystem is 1280 × 1024 .)
- Systems management circuitry that monitors operation of the system fans as well as critical system voltages, temperatures, and system power consumption. The systems management circuitry works in conjunction with the systems management software.
- Standard Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) with serial and LAN access.
- Back-panel connectors include one serial, one video, two USB, and four NIC connectors.
- Front-panel connectors include a video and two USB connectors.

Installation and Configuration

CAUTION: Before performing the following procedure, read and follow the safety instructions and important regulatory information in your Product Information Guide.
This section describes the steps to set up your system for the first time.
Unpacking the System

Unpack your system and identify each item.
Keep all shipping materials in case you need them later.

NOTE: Depending on options ordered, not all components shown may be included.
Installing the Rails and System in a Rack

Once you have read the "Safety Instructions" located in the rack installation documentation for your system, install the rails and the system in the rack.
See your rack installation documentation for instructions on installing your system in a rack.
Connecting the Keyboard, Mouse, and Monitor

3 Connect the keyboard, mouse, and monitor (optional).
The connectors on the back of your system have icons indicating which cable to plug into each connector. Be sure to tighten the screws (if any) on the monitor's cable connector.
Connecting the Power

4 Connect the monitor's power cable to the monitor (optional), and connect the system's power cable(s) to the system.
Installing the Power Cord Retention Bracket

Attach the power cord retention bracket on the right bend of the power supply handle. Bend the system power cable into a loop as shown in the illustration and attach to the bracket's cable clasp. Repeat the procedure for the second power supply.
Plug the other end of the power cables into a grounded electrical outlet or a separate power source such as an uninterrupted power supply (UPS) or a power distribution unit (PDU).
Turning on the System

Turn on the system and monitor (optional).
With the bezel removed, press the power button on the system and the monitor. The power indicators should light. Adjust the monitor's controls until the displayed image is satisfactory.
Installing the Bezel
