Feature

Power system with redundancy

Comment

The 750 watt, 220 VAC autoranging power supplies include integrated fans for cooling. When the server is configured with three supplies (2 + 1), the third provides redundancy. The supplies can be replaced— hot-swapped—without turning off server power. The server requires a minimum of two power supplies. LEDs on the back of the power supply indicate power on, failure, and predictive failure.

Cooling system with redundancy

Server management

The electrogalvanized metal used in manufacturing the server chassis minimizes electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI).

The peripheral bay provides the interface for 3.5- and 5.25-inch media. It can support:

∙One 5.25-inch IDE CD-ROM drive in the 5.25-inch half-height bay. (Optional: any IDE or single-ended SCSI device, like a tape drive.)

∙Two 3.5-inch wide by 1.0- or 1.6-inch hot-swappable low-voltage differential SCSI (LVDS) hard disk drives mounted side-by-side in the 3.5-inch hot-swapping bays. These bays allow hot-swapping of hard disk drives without shutting down the server.

Ten hot-plug PCI I/O expansion slots (six 33 MHz PCI, four 100 MHz PCI-X).

The plastic front bezel provides airflow and easy access to drives in the hot-swapping bays. The removable top covers provide proper airflow and easy access to components inside the server. Only technically qualified personnel should remove the server covers.

Six fans (5 + 1) cool and circulate air through the server. The sixth fan is redundant. The fans can be replaced—hot-swapped—without turning off server power. An LED indicator mounted next to each fan guarantees positive identification of the failed fan.

Integrated power supply fans—two or three—cool and circulate air through the power supplies and the bottom of the chassis.

Interintegrated circuit bus (I2C) for diagnostic and intrachassis communication. Interchassis management bus (ICMB) for interchassis platform management communications.

Real-time clock/calendar (RTC).

Front panel controls and indicators (LEDs).

Basic Input/Output System (BIOS), Power-on Self Test (POST), and Setup Utility stored in a flash memory device.

System Setup Utility (SSU).

QLogic† SCSI Utility.

Emergency Management Port (EMP) utility.

Field Replacement Unit (FRU) and Sensor Data Record (SDR) load utility.
