System Overview 1-3
This server system is designed for minimum downtime. To this end, the server includes
or has the option to include the following:
!
Chassis that supports up to two power supplies (includes one standard power
supply). An additional power supply can be added to provide redundant power (i.e.,
the system will continue to operate with a single power supply failure).
!
Self-contained power supplies that can be easily installed or removed from the back
of the chassis. If optional power system redundancy is installed, the power supply
units are then hot-swappable and can be easily installed or removed from the back of
the chassis without turning the system power off.
!
Modular fan units that can be easily installed or removed from the side of the tower-
based system or from the top of the rack-mount system. Each modular fan unit
contains three fans for effective cooling.
!
Cooling system redundancy where the system will continue to operate in the event of
a fan failure or having cabinet temperatures approaching the threshold limit, the
redundant fans will switch to maximum operating speed.
!
SCSI drive bays accessible from the front of the chassis.
!
Hot-swap SCSI disk drive backplane; a failed drive can be removed and replaced
with a new drive without system power being turned off (if an optional Redundant
Array of Independent Disks (RAID) controller is installed.)
!
High degree of SCSI disk fault tolerance and advanced disk array management
features through the use of RAID technology, if an optional RAID controller is
installed.
!
Hardware monitors (temperature and voltage) and software monitors to indicate
failures.
!
Easy access to all parts for service.
As application requirements increase, you can expand your server system with an
additional processor, redundant power supply, additional memory, add-in boards and
peripheral devices.
Your server system features the following major components:
!
Single or dual high-performance Pentium
III
Xeon processors packaged in Single
Edge Contact (S.E.C.) cartridges.
!
64 MB to 4 GB of ECC SDRAM noninterleaved memory.
!
Seven PCI expansion slots of which three support 64 bit PCI boards and four support
32 bit PCI boards.
!
Embedded PC-compatible support (serial, parallel, mouse, keyboard, diskette, IDE,
USB, LAN, and video).
!
Integrated onboard ATI RAGE IIC Super Video Graphics Array (SVGA) controller
with 4 MB of video memory.
