System Features
Support for up to ten server modules. The chassis can support from one to ten server modules. If fewer than ten server modules are installed in the
l
chassis, a blank module is used. Blank modules are required for proper cooling.
DRAC/MC, which provides access to systems management software features.
l
To access systems management features, connect the null modem cable provided with the system between the serial management port and an
¡
external PC. You may also obtain system management information through a Web browser connected to the RJ-45 management port. Systems
management software monitors the system and server module status.
Embedded systems management circuitry that monitors operation of the system fans, and critical system voltages and temperatures. The
¡
systems management circuitry works in conjunction with your systems management software.
Support for I/O connectivity including pass-through modules and network switch modules. Optional daughter cards installed in the server modules
l
enable the I/O connectivity.
Two hot-pluggable system fan modules. Each fan module has two replaceable fans.
l
Four 2100-watt, hot-pluggable, redundant power supplies. Two power supplies provide power to the system; two additional power supplies provide
l
redundancy.
Four 1200-watt, hot-pluggable, redundant power supplies (not available after April 2005). Three power supplies provide power to the system; an
l
additional power supply provides redundancy.
NOTE: Remove only one power supply at a time. The power supply modules assist in cooling the system. If a power supply fails, keep the power supply
module in the chassis because the fans in it continue to cool the chassis. For more information on installing power supply modules, see your Installation
and Troubleshooting Guide.
Server Module Features
One or two Intel® Xeon™ microprocessors with an internal operating speed of at least 2.8 GHz, a 1-MB cache, and a front-side (external) bus speed of
l
800 MHz.
