Introduction
1.2 Features
System Board
The features of the system board (D2352) are described in the technical manual
for the system board in relation to the hardware and in the BIOS setup manual for
the firmware (see "Related publications" on page 107).
Hot-Plug PCI Slots
In addition to two standard PCI slots, the server also comprises five hot-plug
PCI slots (for one PCI-X board and four PCI Express boards) that allow boards
to be installed and removed online, assuming the operating system supports
this functionality (for further information see section "Hot-plug PCI Boards" on
page 88).
Hard Disk Drives
The server has a drive bay that can each accommodate up to five ULTRA 320-
SCSI hard disk drive modules. Each hard disk drive module (HDD module) can
accommodate a SCSI hard disk drive with an SCA (Single Connector
Attachment) interface and a maximum height of 1 inch. The module is
connected to the SCSI backplane without cables via the SCA interface. This
allows hard disk drive modules to be simply plugged in or pulled out (for further
details see section "Hot-plug Hard Disk Drives" on page 78).
The hard disk drive system is designed for Ultra3 SCSI and is operated using
two channels with three (channel A) and two (channel B) hard disk drives each.
The hard disk drives can either be operated in "pure" SCSI mode by the
onboard controller (see "SCSI Controller" on page 9) or by an additional RAID
controller (see "MegaRAID RoMB Controller" on page 9).
With a RAID controller and the corresponding RAID configuration, defective
HDD modules may be replaced while the system is running (hot-plug).
An external SCSI interface is also offered optionally to allow external storage
subsystems to be connected.
