Main memory
The system board offers 18 slots for memory modules. 9 memory slots can be
used in mono processor configurations.
ECC with memory scrubbing and the Single Device Data Correction (SDDC)
function is standard.
There are three modes of operation for the main memory:
– Independent Channel Mode / Performance Mode (recommended)
– Mirrored Channel Mode
– Spare Channel Mode
Depending on the mode of operation there are different population
requirements.
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. That means the number of
the internal processor cores as well as the primary clock and the FSB frequency
have to be the same. For dual operation, use a suitable multiprocessor
operating system.
Accessible drives
Three 5.25-inch bays are available for accessible drives.
You can use these bays as follows:
– You can install DVD drives or magnetic tape drives.
– You can install a Multibay 1 in the bottom bay. The Multibay 1 offers bays for
a slimline DVD drive and a ServerView Local Service Panel (LSP) or a
ServerView Local Service Display (LSD).
– In the two lower bays, you can install a Multibay 2. The Multibay 2 offers bays
for two additional 3.5-inch hard disk drives, a slimline DVD drive and a
ServerView Local Service Panel (LSP) or a ServerView Local Service
Display (LSD).
– You can install a Multibay 1 in the bottom bay (see above) and an HDD
extension box for 2.5-inch SAS hard disk drives in the two upper bays.
