System Memor y

The motherboard has four Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM) sockets
that support 3.3V Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory
(SDRAM) modules in 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512MB, or 1GB densities.

Cooling Fans

Subdividing the motherboard area and the disk drive area is a metal
bracket that holds the cooling fans. These fans maintain the ideal
temperature for the system memory and the expansion card. The fan
cables connect to CHA_FAN1 and CHA_FAN2 on the motherboard.

A fan fail LED on the front panel indicates if a fan fails while another
LED indicates a thermal failure.
