Expansions and conversions Expansions and conversions Main memory expansion The system board supports up to 8 Gbyte of main memory. 4 slots (2 memory banks with 2 slots each) are provided for the main memory. Each memory bank can be equippeded with 512 Mbyte, 1 Gbyte or 2 Gbyte unbuffered DDR2 memory modules.
Introduction Notational conventions The following notational conventions are used in this manual: Text in italics indicates commands, menu items or software programs. “Quotation marks” indicate names of chapters and terms that are being emphasized. Ê describes activities that must be performed in the order shown.
The Operating Manual for the server describes how you install/remove the hot-plug components. Ê Close the server, connect it to the power outlet, and switch it on as described chapter “Completion” on page Ê Start the operating system and, if necessary, configure it as required (see the Operating Manual).
Safety The following safety instructions are also provided in the manual “Safety notes and other important information”. This device complies with the relevant safety regulations for data processing equipment. If you have any questions about where you can set up the device, contact your sales outlet or our customer service team.

Safety Before starting up CAUTION! During installation and before operating the device, observe the instructions on environmental conditions for your device. If the device is brought in from a cold environment, condensation may form both inside and on the outside of the device. Wait until the device has acclimatized to room temperature and is absolutely dry before starting it up.
Page 15
Always connect the server and the attached peripherals to the same power circuit. Otherwise you run the risk of losing data if, for. example, the server is still running but a peripheral device (e.g. memory subsystem) fails during a power outage.
Page 16
Exception: hot-pluggable power supply units can be replaced. The warranty is void if the server is damaged during installation or replacement of system expansions. Only set screen resolutions and refresh rates that are specified in the operating manual for the monitor.
Page 17
When working with devices with CD/DVD drives, these instructions must be followed. CAUTION! Only use CDs/DVDs that are in perfect condition in your server's CD/DVD drive, in order to prevent data loss, equipment damage and injury. Check each CD/DVD for damage, cracks, breakages etc. before inserting it in the drive.
