Inside the System

In Figure 3-1, the system cover is opened to provide an interior view of the
system.
The system board can accommodate two processors, five expansion cards, and
eight memory modules. The hard drive bays provide space for up to four SAS
or SATA hard drives. Drive bays in the front of the system provide space for
an optical drive, an optional tape drive or second optical drive, an optional
diskette drive, and hot-pluggable hard drives (when available). A controller
expansion card is required for SAS hard drives. Power is supplied to the
system board and internal peripherals through either redundant power
supplies or a single non-redundant power supply.
