For more detailed information about DIMM installation guidelines and samples of DIMM configurations, see "Adding Memory" in Chapter 8 of the Dell PowerEdge 2300 Systems Installation and Troubleshooting Guide. See "DIMMs" in Chapter 4 of this document for information on removing and replacing DIMMs. The computer system offers advanced expansion subsystems that can support a mixture of traditional ISA expansion cards, Plug and Play ISA expansion cards, and PCI expansion cards. The Resource Configuration Utility (RCU) included with the system provides a means of avoiding resource conflicts that might arise from such an arrangement. After all legacy cards have been configured with the RCU, the system automatically assigns any required memory space, IRQ lines, and DMA channels to any installed Plug and Play ISA expansion cards and PCI expansion cards the next time the system is rebooted. Chapter 5, "Using the Resource Configuration Utility," in the Dell PowerEdge 2300 Systems User's Guide describes the RCU and provides instructions for using it to configure the system. The six expansion-card slots include six PCI expansion-card connectors and two ISA expansion-card connectors. Two of the PCI connectors share expansion-card slots with the two ISA connectors. The expansion-card connectors are located on the system board (see Figure 1-10). Integrated server-management circuitry monitors operation of the system fans as well as critical system voltages and temperatures. The integrated servermanagement circuitry works in conjunction with the HP OpenView Network Node Manager Special Edition (NNM SE) and the Dell Hardware Instrumentation Package (HIP) software package. The video subsystem is built into the system board and consists of an AGP VGA-compatible video subsystem with an ATI 3D RAGE PRO SVGA video controller. The video subsystem contains 2 MB of SGRAM video memory, which is not upgradable. Maximum noninterlaced resolutions are 640 x 480 (16.7 million colors), 800 x 600 (16.7 million colors), and 1024 x 768 (256 colors). An integrated Adaptec AIC-7890 Ultra2/LVD SCSI host adapter supports up to six 1-inch internal SCSI hard-disk drives through a 68-pin connector on the system board for a SCSI backplane board. The SCSI backplane board automatically configures SCSI ID numbers and SCSI termination on individual hard-disk System Overview 1-5
