= Not Applicable. 1.7.2.1 System Power The RES-21XR3 for X8SAX operates with two N+1 redundant AC power supplies of 750-watts capacity each that auto-range single-phase AC input from 100 to 265 VAC (47 to 63 Hertz) sources. Filtered and fused (internal) AC is supplied to each power supply from a rear-mounted power connection. -
Page 42: Environmental
The RES-21XR3 conforms to the 54-db noise specification. It is possible to achieve further noise reduction by installing a sound baffle (muffler) on both the front (see Figure 1-6) and the rear (see Figure 1-7 on page 1-17) of the RES-21XR3 chassis. Call your Themis representative for additional information. -
Page 43: Figure 1-7 Res-21Xr3 With Rear Sound Baffle Installed (Rear View)

Page 49: Memory Modules
2.1.2 Memory Modules The RES-21XR3 for X8SAX supports memory according to Table 2-1. Note the total memory capacity is dependent on the size of the memory modules, which at the present time is restricted to 4 GB each. Obviously, memory capacity will increase as motherboards are designed to handle increased sizes (8-GB and 16-GB DIMMs, for example). - Page 50 RES-21XR3 for X8SAX Installation Manual Figure 2-3 on page 2-6), and all Bank 1 slots (1A, 2A, and 3A) must be filled before populating any Bank 2 slots (1B, 2B, and 3B) • It is strongly recommended that you do not mix memory modules of different speeds, sizes, and vendors.
