When connecting external devices to your system, follow these guidelines:

l Check the documentation that accompanied the device for specific installation and configuration instructions. For example, most devices must be

connected to a particular connector to operate properly. Also, external devices usually require you to install device drivers before they will work. Device

drivers are normally included with your operating system software or with the device itself.

l Always attach external devices while your system is turned off. Then turn on any external devices before turning on the system unless the

documentation for the device specifies otherwise. If the system does not seem to recognize the device, try turning on the system before turning on the

device.

For information about enabling, disabling, or configuring I/O ports and connectors, see "Using the System Setup Program."

System Features

Your system offers the following features:

l One or two Intel Xeon microprocessors with a front-side(external)busspeedof400MHzandaninternaloperatingspeedofatleast1.8GHz

l Level 2 cache of 512 KB

l Support for SMP, which is available by installing an additional microprocessor. SMP greatly improves overall system performance by dividing

microprocessor operations among the independent microprocessors. To take advantage of this feature, you must use an operating system that

supports multiprocessing.

l A minimum of 512 MB of system memory, upgradable to a maximum of 12 GB by installing combinations of 128-MB, 256-MB, 512-MB, or 1-GB registered

PC-1600 dual data rate (DDR) memory modules, grouped in sets of four, into the twelve sockets on the two memory cards.

l Support for up to ten 1-inch, internal, hot-pluggable Ultra3 SCSI hard drives (eight 1-inchharddrivesviaa1x8SCSIbackplaneboard,andsupportfor

two 1-inch hard drives via an optional 1 x 2 SCSI backplane board). An optional daughter card provides support for a 2 x 4 split backplane.

l Up to four hot-pluggable, 300-W power supplies in a 3 + 1 redundant configuration.

l Six redundant, hot-pluggable system cooling fans.

The system board includes the following built-in features:

l Seven PCI slots located on the system board. PCI slots 2 through 7 are hot-pluggable 64-bit, 100- or 66-MHz slots. Slots 2 through 7 also support PCI-X

functionality. Slot 1 is a 32-bit, 33-MHz slot that can be used for the optional DRAC III or other PCI-compatible options.

l An integrated VGA-compatible video subsystem with an ATI RAGE XL video controller. This video subsystem contains 8 MB of SDRAM video memory

(nonupgradable). Maximum resolutions are 1,600 x 1,200 x 65,000 colors (noninterlaced). In 1,280 x 1,024-pixel, 1,024 x 768-pixel, 800 x 600-pixel, and

640 x 480-pixel resolutions, 16.7 million colors are available for true-color graphics.

l One embedded dual-channel Ultra3 SCSI controller and one embedded Ultra2 SCSI controller.

l An on-board ROMB is activated by using a 128-MB cache memory module, a RAID key, and RAID battery.

l An optional integrated dual-channel RAID controller card supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, and 10.

NOTE: If you decide to upgrade your system by installing a second microprocessor, you must order the microprocessor upgrade kits from Dell. Not

all versions of the microprocessor will work properly as additional microprocessors. The upgrade kit from Dell contains the correct version of the
