Ten Hot Plug PCI connectors. Eight 64-bit PCI connectors and two 32-bit PCI connectors. Hot Plug PCI slot functionality depends on the type of operating system support. Please note that without PCI Hot Plug operating support you cannot replace PCI boards while the server is turned on.

Up to three power supplies in the BSU chassis. One standard power supply for a four CPU configuration. Two power supplies are standard for an eight CPU configuration. When an additional power supply is installed, both the standard and additional redundant power supplies become hot swappable. Each supply has three status LEDs. Refer to Table 1-3 for information on power supply status LEDs.

Supports up to eight SCSI SCA hard disk drives.

Ultra 160/m SCSI interface.

Slot for second SCSI connector when configured for two channels with the AZA-2804 board mounted.

Indicates fan associated with PSU 1 failed. Indicates fan associated with PSU 2 failed. Indicates fan associated with PSU 1 failed. Indicates fan associated with PSU 2 failed.

Up to two power supplies in the DEU chassis. One standard power supply with one bay available for an additional redundant power supply. When an additional power supply is installed, both the standard and redundant power supply bay become hot swappable. Lights in green when DC power is on. When LED is off system power is off or power supply failed.

There is a separate AC input power connector on each power supply in the DEU chassis.

There is a separate AC input power connector for each power supply in the BSU chassis.
