Server features

The unique design of the server takes advantage of
advancements in symmetric multiprocessing (SMP), data
storage, and memory management. The server combines:
• Impressive performance using an innovative approach
to SMP
The server supports up to four Pentium III Xeon pro-
cessors. The server comes with at least one processor
installed; you can install additional processors to
enhance performance and provide SMP capability.
• Large data-storage and hot-swap capabilities
All models of the server support up to three standard
and three optional 26 mm (1-inch) slim-high 3.5-inch
hot-swap hard disk drives in the hot-swap bays. This
hot-swap feature enables you to remove and replace
hard disk drives without turning off the server.
• Active™ PCI (hot-plug) adapter capabilities
The server has six hot-plug slots for PCI adapters.
With operating system support, you can replace failing
hot-plug PCI adapters without turning off the server. If
the hot-add feature is supported by the operating sys-
tem and the PCI adapter, you can also add PCI adapt-
ers in these slots without turning off the server.
• Redundant cooling and power capabilities
The redundant cooling and hot-swap capabilities of the
fans in the server enable continued operation if one of
the fans fails. You can also replace a failing fan without
turning off the server.
The server comes standard with one 270-watt power
supply. Install three 270-watt power supplies to ensure
redundancy and hot-swap capability for a typical con-
figuration. (See "Installing a hot-swap power supply"
on page 85 for instructions.)
• 100 MHz front-side bus (FSB)
The FSB is the processor external bus. This bus is the
interface between the processors and the system
board. The FSB is also known as the processor/host
bus.
• Large system memory
The memory bus in the server supports up to 16GB of
system memory. The memory controller provides error
correcting code (ECC) support for up to 16 industry-
standard, 3.3 V, 168-pin, 8-byte, PCI, PC100 regis-
tered, dual inline memory modules (DIMMs). The
memory controller also provides Chipkill™ memory
protection. Chipkill memory protection is a technology
– Minimum: 0.08 kVA
– Maximum: 0.52 kVA
