Apple Workgroup Server 8550 - Manual (Page 97)

Expanding your Workgroup Server 8550
Your Workgroup Server 8550 was designed to grow with your needs—you can
add new capabilities or improve its performance as you wish. You can plug in
a number of external devices into its ports. You or your dealer can also install
a number of enhancements within the case that houses the computer.
However, you must make sure that each component you add is compatible
with your server and does not exceed its maximum power allowance. Follow
the specifications in this appendix carefully. Your dealer or the manufacturer
of a component can also provide compatibility details.
Apple recommends that you have the following equipment installed by an
Apple-authorized dealer:
m additional dynamic random-access memory (DRAM), up to a total
of 512 megabytes (MB)
m additional video RAM (VRAM), up to a total of 4 MB
m additional L2 cache memory, up to a total of 4 MB
You can install the following yourself:
m up to three PCI cards, such as a specialized communications card
m any additional internal 3.5- or 5.25-inch device, such as a digital audio tape
(DAT) drive or hard disk
See Chapter 3, “Expanding Your Server and Connecting Other Equipment,”
for instructions on adding components to your server.
