l A National Semiconductor PC97317 super input/output (I/O) controller that controls the bidirectional parallel port, two serial ports, the real-

time clock (RTC), and the diskette drive in the externally accessible front bay.

The parallel port can be set to operate in the following modes via the Parallel Mode option in the System Setup program: output-only

(AT-compatible) or bidirectional (Personal System/2 [PS/2]-compatible).

l One dual-channel Adaptec AIC-7899 Ultra3 (Ultra160) SCSI host adapter that support the internal SCSI hard-disk drives via a SCSI

backplane board and special SCSI hard-disk drive carriers. The SCSI backplane automatically configures SCSI ID numbers and SCSI

termination on individual hard-disk drives.

l An Adaptec AIC-7880 UltraSCSI host adapter that supports up to three SCSI devices in the external hard-disk drive bays (for example, a

CD-ROM drive or tape drive unit).

l Server management circuitry that monitors operation of the system fans as well as critical system voltages and temperatures. The server

management circuitry works in conjunction with the optional HP OpenView Network Node Manager Special Edition (NNM SE) and the Dell

OpenManage™HardwareInstrumentationPackage(HIP)softwarepackage.

l System board support for the Dell OpenManage Remote Assistant when the optional Dell Remote Assistant Card version 2 (DRAC 2) is

installed, which provides additional local and remote server management.
