Introduction
1.2
Options and upgrade
Second processor The system board can be upgraded with a second processor. Only processors of the same type may be used on the system board. The second processor must have the same clock frequency and the same cache as the first processor. Upgrading of the main memory The eight slots for the main memory are suitable for FBD533/PC2-4200F or FBD667/PC2-5300 Fully Buffered DIMM memory modules. The organization in two memory banks, 1 and 2 with 4 memory modules each, permits rapid memory access with four-way interleaving. Memory modules must always be incorporated in pairs. ROMB (RAID on motherboard) The System is extended with an on board Intel I/O processor. If the controller is activated, it supports RAID Level 0, 1, 10, 5 and 50. "MegaRaid PCI Express ROMB" can be activated with two different upgrading kits. Additional accessible drives One 5.25-inch bay and one 3,5-inch bay are available for accessible drives. The 5.25-inch bay can be installed with a 3.5 inch x 0.5 inch floppy disk drive or a LocalView module and the other bay can be installed with a 5.25-inch x 0,5 inch DVD-ROM drive. Only for a 3.5 HDD variant a tape drive can be installed optionally in the left drive cage (see also the configurator under Related publications on page 117). Two mounting locations are occupied as a result in the drive cage which are then no longer available for HDD modules.

Introduction LocalView module (alphanumeric system display)
Options and upgrade
The LocalView module provides you with the option of displaying system information and hardware system faults alphanumerically. This is an intelligent module with a micro-controller and its own memory, which functions independently of the server system. The LocalView module consists of an LCD display panel and a toggle switch, both accommodated in a suitable mount. The mechanical mechanism used allows the LCD display panel to be pulled out and flapped out. Further information on operating the display modes are provided in the documentation on the LocalView module. Hard disk drives The server has two drive cage that can accommodate up to six (2x3) SAS/SATA hard disk drive modules or up to twelve (2x6) SAS hard disk drive modules. Each hard disk drive module (HDD module) can accommodate a SAS/SATA or SAS hard disk drive with a maximum height of 1 inch. The module is connected to the SAS/SATA backplane without cables. This allows hard disk drive modules to be simply plugged in or pulled out. (for further details see operating manual). The hard disk drive system is designed for SAS/SATA with a seperate channel for each of the hard disk drives. If the server has a corresponding RAID configuration, defective HDD modules can also be exchanged online (hot-swap). Additional controllers in non-hot-plug PCI slots The system board offers five PCI slots. Slots 1-3 are non-hot-plug PCI slots with a PCI bus speed of 100 MHz. If slot 1 and slot 2 are not occupied, slot 3 can work with the PCI bus speed of 133 MHz (IDoubleOP). PCI slots 4 and 5 are hot-plug PCI slots which can be equipped with controllers that have hot-plug capability (the hot-plug PCI slots are described in the Operating Manual). Optional riser card Optionally you can install a Riser card into slot 5, which can be equipped with 3 controllers. The bus speed is 100 MHz. Two slots (6 and 7) can be equipped with short standard PCI controllers and slot 8 can be equipped with a full length full height PCI controller.

V CAUTION!
If the rack model is integrated in an installation that receives power from an industrial (public) power supply network with the IEC309 connector, the (public) power supply protection must comply with the requirements for the non-industrial (public) power supply networks for the type A connector The server automatically sets itself to a voltage in the range of 100 V to 240 V. Make sure that your local voltage is within this range This device has a specially approved power cable and must only be connected to a grounded insulated socket. Ensure that the power socket on the device or the grounded wall outlet is freely accessible. The ON/OFF button does not disconnect the device from the mains voltage. To disconnect the line voltage completely, remove the power plug(s) from the grounded insulated socket(s). Always connect the device and the attached peripherals to the same power circuit. Otherwise you run the risk of losing data if, for example, the central processing unit is still running but the peripheral device (e.g. storage subsystem) has failed during a power outage. Data cables to peripheral devices must be adequately shielded. To the LAN wiring the requirements apply in accordance with the standards EN 50173 and EN 50174-1/2. As minimum requirement the use of a protected LAN line of category 5 for 10/100 MBps Ethernet, and/or of category 5e for Gigabit Ethernet is considered. The requirements of the specification ISO/IEC 11801 are to be considered. Route the cables in such a way that they do not form a potential hazard (make sure no-one can trip over them) and that they cannot be damaged. When connecting up a device, refer to the relevant notes in this manual. Never connect or disconnect data transmission lines during a storm (lightning hazard).
