Getting Started With Your System

System Features
The major hardware and software features of your system include:
• Two Dual-Core or Quad-Core Intel
®
Xeon
®
5400 Series and 5200 Series
processors.
• Support for symmetric multiprocessing (SMP), which is available on
systems with two Intel Xeon processors. SMP greatly improves overall
system performance by dividing processor operations between
independent processors. To take advantage of this feature, you must use an
operating system that supports multiprocessing.
NOTE:
If you decide to upgrade your system by installing a second processor,
you must order the processor upgrade kits from Dell. Not all versions of the
Intel Xeon processor will work properly as additional processors. The
upgrade kit from Dell contains the correct version of the processor, heat sink,
and fan as well as the instructions for performing the upgrade.
• A minimum of 4 GB of 667-MHz, Fully Buffered DIMMs (FBD),
upgradable to a maximum of 16 GB by installing combinations of 1-GB or
2-GB memory modules in the eight memory module sockets on the system
board.
• The system also features redundant memory, which provides memory
sparing or memory mirroring. Either feature is available if eight identical
memory modules are installed.
• Support for up to four 3.5-inch internal hot-pluggable SATA hard drives.
• A slim-line SATA DVD, or combination CD-RW/DVD drive.
NOTE:
DVD devices are data only.
• A chassis intrusion switch that signals the appropriate systems
management software if the top cover is opened.
• Baseboard Management Control (BMC) power monitoring monitors
current, voltage, and power utilization in the system.
• Up to two hot-pluggable, 750-W power supplies in an optional 1 + 1
redundant configuration.
• Four hot-pluggable system cooling fans.
