Chapter 1: Introduction

ATI Graphics Controller

The X7DBU features an integrated ATI video controller based on the ES1000 graph- ics chip. The ES1000 was designed specifi cally for servers, featuring low power consumption, high reliability and superior longevity.

Other Features

Other onboard features that promote system health include onboard voltage moni- tors, a chassis intrusion header, auto-switching voltage regulators, chassis and CPU overheat sensors, virus protection and BIOS rescue.

1-3 Server Chassis Features

The 6015B-UR/6015B-NTR is built upon the SC815TQ-R650U chassis while the 6015B-U/6015B-NT is built upon the SC815TQ-560U chassis. The following is a general outline of the main features of both chassis.

System Power

The SC815TQ-R650U features a redundant 650W power supply consisting of two power modules. The system does not need to be shut down when replacing or removing a single power supply module. The SC815TQ-560U features a single 560W power supply module. The system must be shut down when replacing or removing this power supply module.

SATA Subsystem

The SC815TQ-R650U/SC815TQ-560U chassis was designed to support four hot- swap SATA hard drives. Note: In the 6015B-NTR/6015B-NT, SATA drives are connected to the onboard SATA ports.

PCI Expansion Slots

6015B-UR/6015B-U: A riser card on the right side of the chassis can support either one PCI-X 133 card or one PCI-E x8 card. The left side supports a UIO card and one PCI-E x8 card.

6015B-NTR/6015B-NT: A riser card on the right side of the chassis can support either one PCI-X 133 card or one PCI-E x8 card. The left side supports two PCI-E x8 cards. See section 5-6 for details. (Right and left refer to the side when viewed from the front of the system. The 6015B-NTR/6015B-NT does not support a UIO card.)
