For more detailed information about DIMM installation guidelines and samples
of DIMM configurations, see "Adding Memory" in Chapter 7 of the Dell
PowerEdge 2200 Systems User's Guide.
See "DIMMs" in Chapter 4 for information on removing and replacing DIMMs.
Advanced Expansion Subsystem
The computer system offers advanced expansion subsystems that can support a
mixture of traditional EISA expansion cards, Plug and Play ISA expansion cards,
and PCI expansion cards. The EISA Configuration Utility included with the system
provides a means of avoiding resource conflicts that might arise from such an
arrangement.
After all legacy cards have been configured with the EISA Configuration Utility,
the system automatically assigns any required memory space, IRQ lines, and
DMA channels to any installed Plug and Play ISA expansion cards and PCI
expansion cards the next time the system is rebooted. Chapter 5, "Using the
EISA Configuration Utility," in the User's Guide describes the EISA Configura-
tion Utility and provides instructions for using it to configure the system.
The six expansion-card slots include three EISA expansion-card connectors and
three PCI expansion-card connectors. The expansion-card connectors are
located on the system board (see Figure 1-11).
Integrated Server Management
The system board contains integrated server management circuitry that moni-
tors whether the system cooling fan is running, as well as critical system
voltages and temperatures. The integrated server management circuitry works
®
in conjunction with the Intel LANDesk
Server Management suite.
Video Controller
The video subsystem (including the ATI mach64 [264VT] PCI video controller)
is built into the system board and consists of a high-speed, high-resolution
VGA-compatible video subsystem. The video controller is connected to the PCI
local bus. The standard video subsystem contains 1 MB of video memory,
which is not upgradable.
Maximum noninterlaced resolutions are 640 x 480 pixels (16.7 million colors),
800 x 600 pixels (65,536 colors), and 1024 x 768 pixels (256 colors).
Integrated SCSI Controller
A single integrated SCSI controller provides an Ultra/Wide (fast-20) SCSI
interface through a 68-pin connector on the system board. The integrated SCSI
controller attaches to the PCI bus to provide a high-performance SCSI bus.
The integrated SCSI controller provides control for the three SCSI hard-disk
drives in the SCSI hard-disk drive cage, the CD-ROM drive in the middle
externally accessible drive bay, and a SCSI drive installed in the lower
externally accessible drive bay.
