Dell® PowerEdge® 2300 computer systems are high-speed servers that offer significant service and upgrade features. The Dell PowerEdge 2300 systems include the following service features to make troubleshooting easy and effective: Dell Diagnostics checks for hardware problems (if the system can boot). Embedded server management hardware monitors temperatures and voltages throughout the system and notifies you if the system overheats or if a system cooling fan malfunctions. The Dell PowerEdge 2300 system chassis simplifies removing and replacing computer components. You can perform processor and memory upgrades without removing the system board. The Dell-designed small computer system interface (SCSI) backplane board and hard-disk drive carriers eliminate the extensive cabling and drive configuration usually required for a SCSI subsystem. The plastic drive rails attached to devices mounted in the external drive bays allow you to remove these devices without removing a single screw. Many upgrade options are offered for the Dell PowerEdge 2300 systems, including the following: A secondary microprocessor Additional memory A variety of expansion-card options (including redundant array of inexpensive disks [RAID] controller host adapter cards) Additional SCSI CD-ROM, tape, and hard-disk drives Introduction 1-1

2300 computer systems are high-speed servers that offer signifi-
cant service and upgrade features.
The Dell PowerEdge 2300 systems include the following service features to make
troubleshooting easy and effective:
²
Dell Diagnostics checks for hardware problems (if the system can boot).
²
Embedded server management hardware monitors temperatures and voltages
throughout the system and notifies you if the system overheats or if a system
cooling fan malfunctions.
The Dell PowerEdge 2300 system chassis simplifies removing and replacing com-
puter components. You can perform processor and memory upgrades without
removing the system board. The Dell-designed small computer system interface
(SCSI) backplane board and hard-disk drive carriers eliminate the extensive cabling
and drive configuration usually required for a SCSI subsystem. The plastic drive rails
attached to devices mounted in the external drive bays allow you to remove these
devices without removing a single screw.
Many upgrade options are offered for the Dell PowerEdge 2300 systems, including
the following:
²
A secondary microprocessor
²
Additional memory
²
A variety of expansion-card options (including redundant array of inexpensive
disks [RAID] controller host adapter cards)
²
Additional SCSI CD-ROM, tape, and hard-disk drives
