Getting Started With Your System 5
System Features
The major hardware and software features of your system include:
• One or two Dual-Core Intel
®
Xeon
®
Processors 5000 Sequence.
• Support for symmetric multiprocessing (SMP), which is available on
systems with two Intel Xeon processors. SMP greatly improves overall
system performance by dividing processor operations between
independent processors. To take advantage of this feature, you must use
an operating system that supports multiprocessing.
NOTE: If you decide to upgrade your system by installing a second processor,
you must order the processor upgrade kits from Dell™. Not all versions of
the Intel Xeon processor will work properly as additional processors. The
upgrade kit from Dell contains the correct version of the processor, heat sink,
and fan as well as the instructions for performing the upgrade.
• A minimum of 512 MB of 533- or 667- MHz (when available), Fully
Buffered DIMMs (FBD), upgradable to a maximum of 32 GB by installing
combinations of 256-MB, 512-MB, 1-GB, 2-GB, or 4-GB memory modules
in the eight memory module sockets on the system board.
The system also features redundant memory, which provides memory
sparing or memory mirroring. Either feature is available if eight identical
memory modules are installed.
• Support for up to six 3.5-inch, internal hot-pluggable Serial Attached SCSI
(SAS) or SATA hard drives without optional media bay, or up to four 3.5-inch
internal hot-pluggable SAS or SATA hard drives with optional media bay.
• The optional media bay (available only with the 3.5-inch x4 backplane
configurations) provides support for an optional half-height tape backup
unit (TBU) and an optional single, 1.44-MB, 3.5-inch diskette drive.
• An optional slim-line IDE CD, DVD, or combination CD-RW/DVD drive.
NOTE: DVD devices are data only.
• A chassis intrusion switch that signals the appropriate systems
management software if the top cover is opened.
• Up to two hot-pluggable, 750-W power supplies in an optional 1 + 1
redundant configuration.
• Four hot-pluggable system cooling fans.

6Getting Started With Your System
The system board includes the following features:
• One of the following left riser card options:
– A left riser card that has one full-length PCIe x8 lane slot
and one full-length PCIe x4 lane slot.
OR
– A left riser card that has two full-length PCI-X 3.3-V, 64-bit,133-MHz
slots on separate PCI-X buses (capable of throttling back to support
legacy PCI add-in cards).
• A center riser card that has one half-length PCIe x8 lane slot.
• Dedicated slot for an integrated SAS host bus adapter or an optional RAID
controller card with 256 MB of cache memory and a RAID battery.
The internal channel supports up to six 3.5-inch SATA hard drives.
NOTE: System boot is not supported from an external device attached
to a SAS or SCSI adapter, including SAS 5/E, PERC 5/E, or PERC 4e/DC.
See support.dell.com for the latest support information about booting
from external devices.
• Two integrated Gigabit Ethernet NICs, capable of supporting 10-Mbps,
100-Mbps, and 1000-Mbps data rates.
• Four USB 2.0-compliant connectors (two on the front and two on the back)
capable of supporting a diskette drive, a CD-ROM drive, a keyboard,
a mouse, or a USB flash drive.
• Optional remote access controller (RAC) for remote systems management.
• An integrated VGA-compatible video subsystem with an ATI ES1000, 33-MHz
PCI video controller. This video subsystem contains 16 MB of DDR SDRAM
video memory (nonupgradable). Maximum resolution is 1600 x 1200 with
64 K colors; true-color graphics are supported in the following resolutions:
640 x 480, 800 x 600, 1024 x 768, 1152 x 864, and 1280 x 1024. When
the optional RAC is installed, the video resolution is 1280 X 1024.
• Systems management circuitry that monitors operation of the system fans as
well as critical system voltages and temperatures. The systems management
circuitry works in conjunction with the systems management software.
• Standard baseboard management controller with serial access.
• Back-panel connectors include one serial, one video, two USB,
and two NIC connectors.

Getting Started With Your System 7
• Front-panel connectors include a video and two USB connectors.
• Front-panel 1x5 LCD for system ID and error messaging.
• System ID button on the front and back panels.
For more information about specific features, see "Technical Specifications"
on page 13.
Supported Operating Systems
• Microsoft
®
Windows
®

power source such as an uninterrupted power supply (UPS) or a power
distribution unit (PDU).

Getting Started With Your System 11
Install the Power Cord Retention Bracket
Attach the power cord retention bracket on the right bend of the power
supply handle. Bend the system power cable into a loop as shown in the
illustration and attach to the bracket’s cable clasp. Repeat the procedure
for the second power supply.
Plug the other end of the power cables into a grounded electrical outlet
or a separate power source such as an uninterrupted power supply (UPS)
or a power distribution unit (PDU).
