Expansion Slots
Expansion slots inside the computer enable you to install add-in cards, such
as a SCSI (small computer system interface) controller. Your computer
includes one AGP slot, six 32-bit peripheral component interconnect (PCI)
slots, and one 8/16-bit industry standard architecture (ISA) slot.
The maximum number of slots that you can fill is seven. The ISA slot and
PCI slot next to each other share a slot location. You can use one or the
other slot, but not both. For instructions on installing add-in cards, see the
“Installing Components” chapter in the
Maintaining and Troubleshooting Your
E-5250 System

Intel 440GX Chip Set
The Intel
®
440GX chip set provides support for Pentium
®
II Xeon™
processors. The chip set’s Quad Port Acceleration improves bandwidth
between the processor, the AGP, 100-Mhz SDRAM, and the PCI bus.
Manageability
The status of your system’s hardware is monitored through the hardware
management application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) on the system
board. Monitored information includes voltage and chassis intrusion.
You can access the monitoring information through Intel LANDesk Client
Manager, which provides a quick system health indicator.
Memory
Your computer comes standard with error correcting code (ECC)
synchronous dynamic random access memory (SDRAM). You can install
up to 2 GB of memory in the four memory slots on the system board. You
can fill the slots with DIMMs of the sizes 128 MB, 256 MB, and 512 MB
(when available).
No jumper settings are required for the memory size or type because this
information is automatically detected by the BIOS. For information on
installing additional memory, see the “Installing Components” chapter in
the
Maintaining and Troubleshooting Your E-5250 System
guide
