v Large data-storage capacity and hot-swap capability Your server supports up to two 25.4-mm (1-inch) slim-high, 3.5-inch hot-swap hard disk drives in the hot-swap bays. With the hot-swap feature, you can add, remove, or replace hard disk drives without turning off the server. v Light path diagnostics feature The light path diagnostics feature provides LEDs to help you diagnose problems. For more information, see the section about the light path diagnostics feature in the Installation Guide. v Redundant connection The integrated dual Gigabit Ethernet ports provide a failover capability. If a problem occurs with the primary Ethernet connection, all Ethernet traffic associated with the primary connection is automatically switched to the secondary connection. If the appropriate device drivers are installed, this switching occurs without data loss and without user intervention. v Redundant cooling and power capabilities The redundant cooling of the fans in your server enable continued operation if one of the fans fails. Your server comes with two 1050-watt or two 1200-watt hot-swap power supplies, which provide redundant power for many server configurations. If the maximum load on your server is less than 1050 watts (or 1200 watts depending on your model) and a problem occurs with one of the power supplies, the other power supply can meet the power requirements. v Scalable partitions Your server is scalable and can be connected to another server so that you can share resources between servers. v ServeRAID™ support Your server supports ServeRAID adapters to create redundant array of independent disks (RAID) configurations. v Symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) Your server supports up to eight Intel Xeon microprocessors (sixteen in a 16-way configuration). The server comes with two microprocessors. You can install additional microprocessors to enhance performance. v Systems-management capabilities The server comes with a Remote Supervisor Adapter or a Remote Supervisor Adapter II-EXA installed. The adapter and the systems-management software that comes with your server enable you to manage the functions of the server locally and remotely. Both adapters provide system monitoring, event recording, and dial-out alert capability. The Remote Supervisor Adapter II-EXA also provides an integrated video controller. Chapter 1.

v
Large
data-storage
capacity
and
hot-swap
capability
Your
server
supports
up
to
two
25.4-mm
(1-inch)
slim-high,
3.5-inch
hot-swap
hard
disk
drives
in
the
hot-swap
bays.
With
the
hot-swap
feature,
you
can
add,
remove,
or
replace
hard
disk
drives
without
turning
off
the
server.
v
Light
path
diagnostics
feature
The
light
path
diagnostics
feature
provides
LEDs
to
help
you
diagnose
problems.
For
more
information,
see
the
section
about
the
light
path
diagnostics
feature
in
the
Installation
Guide
.
v
Redundant
connection
The
integrated
dual
Gigabit
Ethernet
ports
provide
a
failover
capability.
If
a
problem
occurs
with
the
primary
Ethernet
connection,
all
Ethernet
traffic
associated
with
the
primary
connection
is
automatically
switched
to
the
secondary
connection.
If
the
appropriate
device
drivers
are
installed,
this
switching
occurs
without
data
loss
and
without
user
intervention.
v
Redundant
cooling
and
power
capabilities
The
redundant
cooling
of
the
fans
in
your
server
enable
continued
operation
if
one
of
the
fans
fails.
Your
server
comes
with
two
1050-watt
or
two
1200-watt
hot-swap
power
supplies,
which
provide
redundant
power
for
many
server
configurations.
If
the
maximum
load
on
your
server
is
less
than
1050
watts
(or
1200
watts
depending
on
your
model)
and
a
problem
occurs
with
one
of
the
power
supplies,
the
other
power
supply
can
meet
the
power
requirements.
v
Scalable
partitions
Your
server
is
scalable
and
can
be
connected
to
another
server
so
that
you
can
share
resources
between
servers.
v
ServeRAID
™
support
Your
server
supports
ServeRAID
adapters
to
create
redundant
array
of
independent
disks
(RAID)
configurations.
v
Symmetric
multiprocessing
(SMP)
Your
server
supports
up
to
eight
Intel
Xeon
microprocessors
(sixteen
in
a
16-way
configuration).
The
server
comes
with
two
microprocessors.
You
can
install
additional
microprocessors
to
enhance
performance.
v
Systems-management
capabilities
The
server
comes
with
a
Remote
Supervisor
Adapter
or
a
Remote
Supervisor
Adapter
II-EXA
installed.
The
adapter
and
the
systems-management
software
that
comes
with
your
server
enable
you
to
manage
the
functions
of
the
server
locally
and
remotely.
Both
adapters
provide
system
monitoring,
event
recording,
and
dial-out
alert
capability.
The
Remote
Supervisor
Adapter
II-EXA
also
provides
an
integrated
video
controller.
