The major hardware and software features of your system include:
• Two Dual Core Intel
®
Xeon
®
processor 5000 Sequence.
• 4 GB of 667 MHz, Fully Buffered DIMMs (FBD), upgradable to a maximum of 8 GB.
The system also features redundant memory, which provides memory sparing or memory mirroring.
Either feature is available if eight identical memory modules are installed.
• 15000 rpm hard drives configured into a RAID1 array for fault tolerant operating system operations.
• A slimline DVD-ROM, or DVD-ROM/ CD-RW drive.
• Two hot-pluggable, 670-W power supplies in a 1 + 1 redundant configuration.
• Four fan modules, each comprised of two dual-rotor fans, for a total of eight cooling fans.
The system board includes the following features:
• Two riser cards (left and center risers), each providing a x8 lane width PCI-Express expansion slot.
• Dedicated PCI slot for an integrated RAID controller card with 256 MB of cache memory and
a RAID battery
.
• Four integrated Gigabit Ethernet NICs capable of supporting 10-Mbps, 100-Mbps, 1000-Mbps,
and 2-Gbps data rates.
• Two x4 SAS ports for connectivity to storage subsystem or two 4-Gbps Fibre Channel ports

• Remote access controller (RAC) for remote systems management.
• An integrated VGA-compatible video subsystem with an ATI ES1000, 33-MHz PCI video
controller. This video subsystem contains a minimum of 16MB of graphics memory with support
for 2D graphics. Maximum resolution is 1600x1200 with 65,536 colors; true-color graphics are
supported in the following resolutions: 640 x 480, 800 x 600, 1024 x 768, 1280 x 1024. When the
optional remote access card is installed, the maximum video resolution is 1280x1024.
• Systems management circuitry that monitors operation of the system fans as well as critical system
voltages and temperatures. The systems management circuitry works in conjunction with the systems
management software.
• Back-panel connectors include serial, video, two USB connectors, four NIC connectors, two SAS
(or Fibre Channel in gateway mode connectors), and one NIC connector for RAC access.
• Front-panel connectors include a video and two USB connectors.
• Front-panel 1x5 LCD for system ID and error messaging.
