Specifications

The following information is a summary of the features and specifications of the
server. Depending on the server model, some features might not be available, or
some specifications might not apply.
The server has one slot for a PCI-32 adapter.
The server has five slots for PCI Express x8 adapters. Three of these slots
accept x8 adapters, but the adapters will operate as x4 adapters.
The server has one slot for PCI Express x16 adapter, which will operate as an x8
adapter.
The server supports up to two 920-watt hot-swap power supplies. If the server
came with only one power supply, you can install an additional power supply with
three redundant hot-swap cooling fans to add redundant power and cooling
capabilities. If the maximum load on the server is less than 920 watts and a
problem occurs with one of the power supplies, the other power supply can meet
the power requirements. The redundant cooling of the fans enables continued
operation if one of the fans fails.
The server supports an internal RAID SAS Controller, which is required for you to
use the hot-swap hard disk drives and to create redundant array of independent
disks (RAID) configurations.
The server supports up to two Intel
server comes with only one microprocessor, you can install an additional
microprocessor to enhance performance and provide SMP capability.
The server contains an Integrated Management Module (IMM) which enables you
to manage the functions of the server locally and remotely and provides remote
presence and blue-screen capture capability. The IMM also provides system
monitoring and event recording.
The Ethernet controllers in the server support TOE, which is a technology that
offloads the TCP/IP flow from the microprocessors and I/O subsystem to increase
the speed of the TCP/IP flow. When an operating system that supports TOE is
running on the server and TOE is enabled, the server supports TOE operation.
See the operating-system documentation for information about enabling TOE.
Note: As of the date of this document, the Linux
support TOE.
