of disk drives. Certain RAID configurations require use of optional hardware. Check with your
sales or service representative to obtain information on set-up procedures if your system did not
come pre-configured with SATA RAID.
The dual processor serverboard has four PCIe 3.0 x16 slots to support four internal double-width
GPU cards. Additional slots support one PCIe 3.0 x8 low-profile card and one PCIe 2.0 x4
standard card.
See the section "PCIe Expansion Cards" in Chapter 5
The color-coded I/O ports include a VGA (monitor) port, two external USB 2.0 ports (an internal
COM header is located on the serverboard) and two gigabit LAN Ethernet ports. A dedicated
external IPMI LAN port is also included.
The dual-processor serverboard features an integrated Matrox G200 video controller providing a
16MB DDR2 graphics interface through the system VGA connector. The Matrox video controller
in the 2U server features low power consumption, high reliability and superior longevity.
IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface) is a hardware-level interface specification that
provides remote access, monitoring and administration for your SGI Rackable C2110G-RP5
server platforms. IPMI allows server administrators to view a server's hardware status remotely,
receive an alarm automatically if a failure occurs, and power cycle a system that is non-responsive.
Other onboard features that promote system health include onboard voltage monitors, a chassis
intrusion header, auto-switching voltage regulators, chassis and CPU overheat sensors, virus
protection and BIOS rescue.
