The system board holds the system's control circuitry and other electronic components. The processors and memory modules are installed directly on the system board.

The hard-drive bays provide space for up to five optional 3.5-inch SAS hard drives. The hard drives connect to a SAS controller card or an optional SAS RAID controller card through a SAS backplane. A removable drive carrier supports an optional diskette drive and optional optical drive.
