microprocessor. The upgrade kit from Dell contains the correct version of the
microprocessor for use as an additional microprocessor, as well as instructions
for performing the upgrade. The second microprocessor must have the same
internal operating frequency as the first.
A minimum of 64 MB of system memory, upgradable to a maximum of
2 gigabytes (GB) by installing combinations of 64- or 128-MB unbuffered synchro-
nous dynamic random-access memory (SDRAM) in dual in-line memory modules
(DIMMs) or 256- or 512-MB registered SDRAM DIMMs in the 4 DIMM sockets
on the system board. You cannot mix unbuffered SDRAM and registered SDRAM
in the system.
A basic input/output system (BIOS) that resides in flash memory on the Industry
Standard Architecture (ISA) bus and can be upgraded if required.
Up to three hot-pluggable, 1-inch, small computer system interface (SCSI) hard-
disk drives.
Two or three 275-watt (W) power supplies. Multiple power supplies require a
power-supply paralleling board (PSPB) and are hot-pluggable from the PSPB.
NOTE: A minimum configuration of two power supplies is nonredundant. To
ensure redundancy, you must use three power supplies.
Four redundant system cooling fans housed in a single, hot-swappable module.
The system board includes the following built-in features:
Six Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) and two ISA expansion-card con-
nectors. PCI slots 1 through 4 are unshared slots; PCI slot 5 is shared with ISA
slot 5 and PCI slot 6 is shared with ISA slot 6.
An advanced graphics port (AGP) video subsystem based on the ATI 3D Rage Pro
super video graphics array (SVGA) video controller. This video subsystem con-
tains 2 MB of synchronous graphics random-access memory (SGRAM) video
memory (nonupgradeable). Maximum resolutions are 1280 x 1024 with 256 col-
ors, noninterlaced. The 1024 x 768 resolution provides 65,536 colors,
noninterlaced, and the 800 x 600 and 640 x 480 resolutions provide 16.7 million
colors for true color graphics.
A National Semiconductor PC87309 super input/output (I/O) controller that con-
trols the bidirectional parallel port, two serial ports, and the diskette drive in the
externally accessible front bay.
The parallel port can be set to operate in the following modes via the Parallel
Mode option in the System Setup program: output-only (AT-compatible) or
bidirectional (Personal System/2 [PS/2]-compatible).
One Adaptec AIC-7890 Ultra2/low voltage differential (LVD) SCSI host adapter
that supports up to three, 1-inch, internal SCSI hard-disk drives via a SCSI back-
plane board and SCSI hard-disk drive carriers. The SCSI backplane automatically
