Additional processors

The system board can be upgraded to include up to four processors. You may only use processors of the same type; all processors must have the same frequency and cache size.

Extending the main memory

The system board provides slots for four memory boards, each of which can accommodate up to eight memory modules. The slots are suitable for DDR-II / 533 or 667 MHz Fully Buffered DIMM modules with up to 8 Gbytes capacity per DIMM module. This allows a maximum memory configuration of 256 Gbytes.

Additional accessible drives

You can add a CD/DVD drive in 0.5x5.25-inch format or a tape drive in 5.25x1.6- inch format.

Additional controllers in PCI slots

The system board has seven PCI Express slots:

●Slots 1-4 are hot-plug PCI slots which can be fitted with hot-pluggable controllers (the hot-plug PCI slots are described in the operating manual). They have a bandwidth of 4 GB/s.

●Slots 5 through 7 are non-hot-plug PCI slots with a bandwidth of 2 GB/s.

●Slots 4 and 5 may only be fitted with half-length modules.

Battery (BBU) for the RAID5 controller

An optional battery (intelligent battery backup unit = iBBU) is available for the SAS RAID 5 controller to protect its memory contents in the event of a power failure.
