microprocessors in this system; the upgrade kit from Dell contains the
correct version for this system.
A minimum of 128 MB of system memory, upgradable to a maximum of
4 GB by installing combinations of 32-, 64- (when available), 128-, and
256-MB buffered EDO DIMMs in the 16 DIMM sockets on the memory
board.
BIOS in upgradable flash memory on the PCI bus.
Up to three hot-pluggable 1-inch SCSI hard-disk drives.
Three redundant, hot-pluggable power supplies and a power-supply
paralleling board (PSPB).
Four redundant system cooling fans.
Seven PCI connectors, four 64-bit and three 32-bit.
Three peer-to-peer PCI expansion subsystems.
A VGA-compatible video subsystem with an ATI 3D RAGE PRO SVGA video
controller. This video subsystem contains 2 MB of SGRAM video memory
(nonupgradable).
A National Semiconductor PC87309 super I/O controller that controls the
bidirectional parallel port, two serial ports, and the diskette drive in the
externally accessible front bay.
Two Adaptec AIC-7890 Ultra2/low-voltage differential (LVD) SCSI host
adapters that support up to three 1-inch internal SCSI hard-disk drives via
the SCSI backplane board and SCSI hard-disk drive carriers.
The SCSI backplane automatically configures SCSI ID numbers and SCSI
termination on individual hard-disk drives, greatly simplifying drive installa-
tion. The backplane supports hot-pluggable SCSI hard-disk drive installation
and removal when used in conjunction with the PowerEdge Expandable
RAID controller.
An Adaptec AIC-7860 Ultra/Narrow SCSI-III host adapter that supports the
CD-ROM drive.
Server management circuitry that monitors operation of the system fans
as well as critical system voltages and temperatures. The server manage-
ment circuitry works in conjunction with the HP OpenView Network Node
Manager Special Edition (NNM SE) and the Dell OpenManage™ Hardware
Instrumentation Package (HIP) software package.
System board support for the Dell OpenManage Remote Assistant when
the optional Dell Remote Assistant Card version 2.0 (DRAC 2) is installed,
which provides additional local and remote server management.

this chapter.
