- Input kilovolt-amperes (kVA) approximately: - Minimum: 0.08 kVA - Maximum: 0.52 kVA Server features The unique design of the server takes advantage of advancements in symmetric multiprocessing (SMP), data storage, and memory management. The server combines: • Impressive performance using an innovative approach to SMP The server supports up to four Pentium III Xeon processors. The server comes with at least one processor installed; you can install additional processors to enhance performance and provide SMP capability. • Large data-storage and hot-swap capabilities All models of the server support up to three standard and three optional 26 mm (1-inch) slim-high 3.5-inch hot-swap hard disk drives in the hot-swap bays. This hot-swap feature enables you to remove and replace hard disk drives without turning off the server. • Active™ PCI (hot-plug) adapter capabilities The server has six hot-plug slots for PCI adapters. With operating system support, you can replace failing hot-plug PCI adapters without turning off the server. If the hot-add feature is supported by the operating system and the PCI adapter, you can also add PCI adapters in these slots without turning off the server. • Redundant cooling and power capabilities The redundant cooling and hot-swap capabilities of the fans in the server enable continued operation if one of the fans fails. You can also replace a failing fan without turning off the server. The server comes standard with one 270-watt power supply. Install three 270-watt power supplies to ensure redundancy and hot-swap capability for a typical configuration. (See "Installing a hot-swap power supply" on page 85 for instructions.) • 100 MHz front-side bus (FSB) The FSB is the processor external bus. This bus is the interface between the processors and the system board. The FSB is also known as the processor/host bus. • Large system memory The memory bus in the server supports up to 16GB of system memory. The memory controller provides error correcting code (ECC) support for up to 16 industrystandard, 3.3 V, 168-pin, 8-byte, PCI, PC100 registered, dual inline memory modules (DIMMs). The memory controller also provides Chipkill™ memory protection. Chipkill memory protection is a technology General information 5
