5If you are removing the card permanently, install a metal filler bracket over the empty expansion slot opening and close the expansion-card latch.

NOTE: You must install a filler bracket over an empty expansion slot to maintain Federal Communications Commission (FCC) certification of the system. The brackets also keep dust and dirt out of the system and aid in proper cooling and airflow inside the system.

6Close the system. See "Opening and Closing the System" on page 38.

System Memory

You can upgrade your system memory to a maximum of 32 GB by installing 667-MHz registered DDR-II memory modules (DIMMs) in sets of 512-MB, 1-GB, 2-GB, or 4-GB modules. The eight memory sockets are located on the system board under the cooling shroud. Each processor has four memory channels, organized in sets of two channels.

Your system hardware supports Non-Uniform Memory Architecture (NUMA) if two processors are installed. Each processor has its own memory controller and local memory for reduced access times, but it can also access memory from another processor. This architecture improves system performance if an operating system is installed that supports this feature.

NOTICE: To enable NUMA, run the System Setup program and disable the Node Interleaving option. See "Using the System Setup Program" on page 23.

Memory Module Installation Guidelines

To ensure optimal performance of your system, observe the following guidelines when configuring your system memory.

•Memory modules must be installed in pairs, beginning with DIMM1 and DIMM2 (processor 1), and DIMM5 and DIMM6 (processor 2).

•The memory modules must be identical in speed and technology. The DIMMs in each pair must be the same size.

This allows businesses to run multiple applications simultaneously without compromising on speed or efficiency. The server also supports a range of AMD processors, offering flexibility to meet various workload requirements.

The SC1435 is equipped with significant memory capacity, supporting up to 128GB of DDR2 RAM. This high memory capacity allows for improved data management and processing, making it suitable for memory-intensive applications such as database management and virtualization. The server features eight DIMM slots, providing businesses the ability to scale memory as their workloads grow.

Storage is another critical aspect of the Dell SC1435, offering a range of options that cater to different needs. The server can be equipped with up to four hot-swappable 3.5-inch SATA or SAS drives, providing enterprises with the flexibility to balance performance needs and cost-efficiency. Additionally, it features support for RAID configurations, which enhances data protection and availability.

The SC1435 also integrates advanced management technologies, including Dell's OpenManage, which simplifies server management and allows for remote monitoring. This toolset provides administrators with the ability to easily configure, update, and monitor the server's health and performance metrics.

One of the standout characteristics of the SC1435 is its energy-efficient design. It incorporates power management features that help lower overall energy consumption, contributing to reduced operating costs and a smaller carbon footprint. The server’s compact size allows it to fit into standard 19-inch racks, making it an excellent option for space-constrained environments.

In summary, the Dell SC1435 is a robust 1U rack server that combines powerful processing capabilities, extensive memory support, flexibility in storage options, and advanced management features. Its energy-efficient design further enhances its appeal in modern data centers, making it a smart choice for organizations seeking to optimize their IT infrastructure.
