The system board includes the following features:
• One of the following left riser card options:
– A left riser card that has one full-length PCIe x8 lane slot
and one full-length PCIe x4 lane slot.
OR
– A left riser card that has two full-length PCI-X 3.3-V, 64-bit,133-MHz
slots on separate PCI-X buses (capable of throttling back to support
legacy PCI add-in cards).
• A center riser card that has one half-length PCIe x8 lane slot.
• Dedicated slot for an integrated SAS host bus adapter or an optional RAID
controller card with 256 MB of cache memory and a RAID battery.
The internal channel supports up to six 3.5-inch SATA hard drives.
NOTE: System boot is not supported from an external device attached
to a SAS or SCSI adapter, including SAS 5/E, PERC 5/E, or PERC 4e/DC.
See support.dell.com for the latest support information about booting
from external devices.
• Two integrated Gigabit Ethernet NICs, capable of supporting 10-Mbps,
100-Mbps, and 1000-Mbps data rates.
• Four USB 2.0-compliant connectors (two on the front and two on the back)
capable of supporting a diskette drive, a CD-ROM drive, a keyboard,
a mouse, or a USB flash drive.
• Optional remote access controller (RAC) for remote systems management.
• An integrated VGA-compatible video subsystem with an ATI ES1000, 33-MHz
PCI video controller. This video subsystem contains 16 MB of DDR SDRAM
video memory (nonupgradable). Maximum resolution is 1600 x 1200 with
64 K colors; true-color graphics are supported in the following resolutions:
640 x 480, 800 x 600, 1024 x 768, 1152 x 864, and 1280 x 1024. When
the optional RAC is installed, the video resolution is 1280 X 1024.
• Systems management circuitry that monitors operation of the system fans as
well as critical system voltages and temperatures. The systems management
circuitry works in conjunction with the systems management software.
• Standard baseboard management controller with serial access.
• Back-panel connectors include one serial, one video, two USB,
and two NIC connectors.
