Dell ? PowerEdge 6800 - Manual (Page 13)

System Features
l One to four Intel® Xeon™ processors with an internal operating speed of at least 3.16 GHz, an internal cache of at least 1 MB, and a front-side bus
operating at 667 MHz.
l Support for symmetric multiprocessing (SMP), which is available on systems with two or more 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.
l A minimum of 512 MB of registered PC2-3200 DDR2 400 SDRAM memory modules, upgradable to a maximum of 64 GB by installing combinations of 256-
MB, 512-MB, 1-GB, 2-GB, or 4-GB (when available) 2-way interleaving memory modules in up to four memory risers.
The system also supports the following memory configurations:
¡ Redundant memory
¡ Memory mirroring
¡ Memory RAID
You choose from among these features using the System Setup program (see " Using the System Setup Program "). Each feature has memory
configuration requirements that must be met before the system offers that feature as a setup option. See the Installation and Troubleshooting Guide for
more information.
l Support for up to twelve 1-inch, internal hot-pluggable U320 SCSI hard drives (ten 1-inch drives using a 1x10 SCSI backplane, and support for two 1-
inch drives in the peripheral bay using an optional 1x2 SCSI backplane). An optional daughter card provides support for a 2x5 split backplane.
l The peripheral bay provides support for an optional half-height tape backup unit, a full-height tape backup unit, or two 1-inch SCSI hard drives.
l An optional single, 1.44-MB, 3.5-inch diskette drive.
l An optional IDE CD, DVD, or combination CD-RW/DVD drive.
l An intrusion switch that signals the appropriate systems management software if the top cover is opened.
l One or two hot-pluggable, 1570-W power supplies in a 1 + 1 redundant configuration.
l Six redundant system cooling fans.
The system board includes the following features:
l Seven 3.3-V PCI expansion-card slots in the following arrangement:
¡ Slot 1 — PCIe x8 lane slot
¡ Slot 2 — 64-bit, 133-MHz PCI-X slot
¡ Slots 3 through 5 — PCIe x4 lane slots
¡ Slots 6 and 7 — 64-bit, 100-MHz PCI-X slots
All slots accommodate full-height expansion cards, and all but slot 7 accommodate full-length expansion cards.
l An integrated, dual-channel U320 SCSI host adapter. The internal channel supports up to twelve SCSI hard drives using the 1x10 and the optional 1x2
SCSI backplanes. The SCSI backplane automatically configures SCSI ID numbers and SCSI termination, greatly simplifying drive installation.
l Optional ROMB activated by using a ROMB key, a 256-MB DDR2 400-MHz memory module, and a RAID battery.
l Optional RAID through an add-in controller card that incorporates 128 MB of cache memory and a RAID battery.
l Two integrated Gigabit Ethernet NICs, capable of supporting 10-Mbps, 100-Mbps, and 1000-Mbps data rates.
l Four USB 2.0-compliant connectors (two on the front and two on the back) capable of supporting a diskette drive, a CD-ROM drive, a keyboard, a
mouse, or a USB flash drive.
l Optional remote access controller (RAC) for remote systems management.
l An integrated VGA-compatible video subsystem with an ATI Radeon 7000, 33-MHz PCI video controller. This video subsystem contains 16 MB of SDRAM
video memory (nonupgradable). Maximum resolution is 1600 x 1200 with 64,000 colors. True-color graphics are supported in the following resolutions:
640 x 480, 800 x 600, 1024 x 768, 1152 x 864, and 1280 x 1024. When the optional RAC is installed, the onboard video gets disabled and replaced by
the video on the RAC.
l Systems management circuitry and software that monitors operation of the system fans as well as critical system voltages and temperatures. System
management circuitry consists of a standard baseboard management controller with serial and network access.
NOTE: If you decide to upgrade your system by installing one or more additional processors, 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 and heat sink as well as the instructions for performing the upgrade. All processors must have the same internal operating
frequency and cache size.
NOTE: DVD devices are for data-only DVDs.
NOTICE: In countries with electrical currents less than 110-V, redundant power may not be available for some fully equipped systems. See the
Installation and Troubleshooting Guide for more information.
CAUTION: The power supplies are preset in the factory for the region of the system's intended use. If a system is moved to a region that has a
different power current, it may be necessary to reconfigure the power supplies for the new region. Failure to reconfigure the power supplies as
needed could result in major damage to the system. See the Installation and Troubleshooting Guide for more information.
