The system board holds the system's control circuitry and other electronic components. Several hardware options, such as the
microprocessors and memory, are installed directly on the system board. The system board can accommodate up to seven
PCI expansion cards (two PCI or PCI-X cards at 64-bit/33-133 MHz, four PCI or PCI-X cards at 64-bit/33-100 MHz, and one
PCI card at 32-bit/33 MHz).
The peripheral bay provides space for a 3.5-inch diskette drive, a CD drive, and two hard drives.The hard-drive bays provide
space for up to five 1-inch SCSI hard drives. The hard drives connect to a controller on the system board or a RAID controller
card through the SCSI backplane board. For more information, see "
The hard-drive bays provide space for up to six 1-inch hard drives. These hard drives are connected to a SCSI host adapter
on the system board or on an expansion card, by way of the SCSI backplane board.
The power supply distribution board (PSDB) provides power distribution for the system. One front-loadable power supply
slides into connectors mounted on the PSDB to provide power to the system board and internal peripherals. An option for a
second hot-pluggable power supply to provide redundant power is available.
For non-SCSI drives such as the diskette drive and CD drive, an interface cable connects the interposer board, attached to
the diskette drive and CD drive, to the system board. For SCSI devices, interface cables connect externally accessible SCSI
devices and the SCSI backplane board to a SCSI host adapter either on the system board or on an expansion card. For more
information, see "
During an installation, repair, or troubleshooting procedure, you may be required to change a jumper. For information on the
system board jumpers, see "
