Drives:
v SATA:
–
DVD (standard)
–
DVD/CD-RW (optional)
– Maximum of two devices can be
installed
v Diskette (optional): External USB 1.44
MB
v Supported hard disk drives:
– Serial Attached SCSI (SAS)
Expansion bays:
v Twenty-four 2.5-inch HDD bays (one
optical DVD drive)

™
5500
– When using ServeRAID adapter
™
M1015 to support more than
sixteen 2.5-inch hard disk drives,
the maximum number of RAID
supported drives is 16. All the other
drives will remain JBOD (the drives
are presented to the operating
system without a RAID
configuration).
– If the server is configured for RAID
operation using a ServeRAID
adapter, you might have to
reconfigure your disk arrays after
you install drives. See the
ServeRAID adapter documentation
for additional information about
RAID operation and complete
instructions for using the
ServeRAID adapter.
v Eight 3.5-inch HDD bays (only
supports UltraSlim DVD drive)
v Three half-high 5.25-inch bays (one
DVD drive installed)
Note: Full-high devices such as an
optional tape drive will occupy two
half-high
5.25-inch bays.
PCI and PCI-X expansion slots:
v Six PCI expansion slots on the system
board:
– Four PCI Express x8 (2x8 link, 2x4
link)
– One PCI Express x16 (x8 link)
– One PCI 32-bit
v One or two expansion slots on the PCI
extender card:
– Standard - One PCI Express x8 (x4
link) on the PCI-Express extender
card
– Optional - Two PCI-X 64/133 slots
on the PCI-X extender card
Power supply:
Note: To upgrade to two 920-watt hot-swap
power supplies, install the redundant power
and cooling option kit. The kit includes one
hot-swap 920-watt power-supply and three
hot-swap fans.
v Standard: One 920-watt 110 V or 240 V
AC input dual-rated power supply
v Upgradeable to two 920-watt hot-swap
power supplies
Hot-swap fans:
v Three (standard)
v Upgradeable to six fans (for redundant
cooling)
Note: To upgrade to redundant cooling,
install the redundant power and cooling
option kit. The kit includes one 920-watt
hot-swap power-supply and three hot-swap
fans.
