Overview

The Supermicro SuperServer 7042M-6 is a high-end dual processor server

that can be utilized either in a tower or in a rackmount configuration. The

SuperServer 7042M-6 is comprised of two main subsystems: the SC742S-

420 high-end server chassis and the P4DMS-6GM dual Xeon processor

mainboard. Please refer to our web site for information on operating sys-

tems that have been certified for use with the SuperServer 7042M-6.

In addition to the mainboard and chassis, various hardware components

have been included with the SuperServer 7042M-6, as listed below:

Up to two (2) 603-pin Xeon 512k L2 cache processors*

Two (2) CPU heatsinks* (Fan-042)

Up to 12 GB ECC registered PC1600 DDR SDRAM main memory*

One (1) 1.44" floppy drive

One (1) 5.25" drive bay

One (1) ATA66 ribbon cable for IDE CD-ROM

One (1) ATA100 ribbon cable for IDE hard drives

One (1) USB cable for front side access

One (1) SCA SCSI backplane

Seven (7) SCA 1-inch high SCSI drive carriers

SCSI Accessories

One (1) internal 68-pin Ultra160 SCSI cable for SCA SCSI backplane
