Preface

In the event of errors, ServerView S2 refers you directly to the affected component and its order information in the Illustrated Spares catalog of the server in question.

System board

The features of the system board are described in the technical manual for the system board D2244 for the hardware and in the “BIOS Setup” for the firmware.

Hot-plug PCI slots

The server has three standard PCI slots and four hot-plug PCI slots. These hot- plug PCI slots allow installation and removal of boards during operation when the operating system supports this function (for further details see section “Hot- plug expansion cards” on page 97).

Hard disk drives

The server is equipped with a drive bay in which up to 8 SAS HDD modules can be inserted. Each HDD module can accommodate an SAS hard disk drive with a 2.5-inch format. The modules are connected to the SAS backplane wirelessly. This allows HDD modules to be plugged in or pulled out easily.

The hard disk system is designed for SAS with one channel for each hard disk drive.

If the server has the corresponding RAID configuration, HDD modules can also be replaced during operation.

An external SCSI interface is also offered optionally to allow external storage subsystems to be connected. You will find further information in the Options Guide.

Onboard SAS RAID controller

There is an onboard SAS RAID controller for operating eight SAS hard disk drives. RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 10 and 50 are supported.

A BBU backs up the memory contents also in the event of power failure (option).
