System Features

The major hardware and software features of your system include:

One or two dual-core AMD Opteron 2000 Series processors.

A minimum of 1 GB (single-processor systems) or 2 GB (dual-processor systems) of 667-MHz registered DDR-II memory modules. Memory is upgradable to a maximum of 32 GB by installing combinations of 512-MB, 1-GB, 2-GB, or 4-GB memory modules in the eight memory module sockets on the system board.

Support for either two 3.5-inch, internal SATA hard drives or two optional 3.5-inch, internal SAS hard drives. (An optional SAS controller card is required for SAS hard-drive support. This optional SAS controller also supports RAID levels 0 and 1.)

An optional slimline IDE optical drive.

An optional external USB diskette drive.

A 600-W power supply.

Four dual-rotor fan modules.

The system board includes the following features:

One of the following riser card options:

– A riser card supporting one x8 lane-width PCI-Express (PCIe) half-length expansion slot.

or

– A riser card supporting one 3.3-V, 64-bit, 133-MHz PCI-X half-length expansion slot. This PCI-X slot also supports legacy PCI expansion cards.

Two integrated Gb Ethernet NICs, capable of supporting 10-Mbps, 100-Mbps, and 1000-Mbps data rates.

Four USB 2.0-compliant connectors (two on the system front panel and two on the back panel), capable of supporting a diskette drive, an optical drive, a keyboard, a mouse, or a USB flash drive.

An integrated VGA-compatible video subsystem based on an integrated ATI RN50 PCI video controller. The video subsystem includes a minimum of 16 MB of graphics memory and supports various 2D graphics video modes. Maximum resolution is 1600x1200 with 65,536 colors.

Systems management circuitry that monitors operation of the system fans as well as critical system voltages and temperatures.

Back-panel connectors including serial, video, two USB connectors, and two NIC connectors.

Front-panel connectors including a video connector and two USB connectors.
