Figure 3-1. Inside the System
The system board can accommodate two processors, five expansion cards, and four memory modules.
The rotatable hard-drive carrier provides space for up to two SAS or SATA hard drives. Drive bays in the
front of the system provide space for an optical drive; an optional diskette drive or third hard drive; and
an optional tape drive, second optical drive, or fourth hard drive. A controller expansion card is required
for SAS hard drives or for more that two SATA hard drives. The optional third hard drive requires a
mounting screw kit. The fourth hard drive requires a special drive carrier for installation. Power is
supplied to the system board and internal peripherals through a single nonredundant power supply.
