Expansions and upgrades
Upgrading the memory
12 slots (6 slots per CPU) are available for the main memory. The slots can be
equipped with RDIMMs (registered DIMM, capacities: 2, 4 and 8 GB) or with
UDIMM (unbuffered DIMM, capacities: 1 and 2 GB) memory modules. A combi-
nation of both module types is not allowed.
Second processor
The system board can be upgraded with a second processor. Only processors
of the same type may be used on the system board. That means the number of
the internal processor cores as well as the primary clock and the FSB frequency
have to be the same.
Accessible drives
Three 5.25-inch bays are available for accessible drives. In these bays you can
install DVD drives, magnetic tape drives, a multibay (slimline DVD and
ServerView Local Service Panel/ServerView Local Service Display) or a HDD
extension box.
ServerView Local Service Panel / ServerView Local Service Display
The system board supports the CSS (Customer Self Service) functionality
(description see the operating manual). You can install a ServerView Local
Service Panel (LSP) or a ServerView Local Service Display (LSD) for easier
identification of the defective components.
HDD extension box
Two 5.25-inch bays for accessible drives can be used to install a HDD extension
box.
Two variants of the HDD extension box are available:
–
Variant 1:
one bay for a LSP/LSD, one bay for a slimline DVD drive and two bays for
3.5-inch SAS/SATA HDD modules
–
Variant 2:
eight bays for 2.5-inch SAS/SATA HDD modules
