Introduction Options and upgrade
1.2 Options and upgrade
Second processor
The system board can be upgraded with a second processor. Only processors
of the same type may be used on the system board. The second processor must
have the same clock frequency and the same cache as the first processor.
Upgrading of the main memory
The eight slots for the main memory are suitable for PC2-3200 DDR DIMM
memory modules. The organization in four memory banks, 0 to 3, permits rapid
memory access with two-way interleaving.
Memory modules must always be incorporated in pairs. A memory bank must
always be equipped fully with the same type of memory modules.
ROMB (RAID on motherboard)
The System is extended with an on board Intel I/O processor. If the controller is
activated, the on-board 2 channel U320 SCSI-Controller supports RAID Level
0, 1, 10, 5 and 50 on both SCSI channels
"MegaRaid PCI Express™ ROMB" can be activated with two different
upgrading kits.
Additional accessible drives
One 3.25-inch bay and one 3,5-inch bay are available for accessible drives.
One 5.25-inch bay can be installed with a 3.5 inch x 0.5 inch floppy disk drive or
a LocalView module and the other bay can be installed with a 5.25-inch x 0,5
inch DVD-ROM drive.

10 OptionsGuide RX300 S2
Options and upgrade Introduction
LocalView module (alphanumeric system display)
The LocalView module provides you with the option of displaying system infor-
mation and hardware system faults alphanumerically. This is an intelligent
module with a micro-controller and its own memory, which functions indepen-
dently of the server system.
The LocalView module consists of an LCD display panel and a toggle switch,
both accommodated in a suitable mount. The mechanical mechanism used
allows the LCD display panel to be pulled out and flapped out. Further infor-
mation on operating the display modes are provided in the documentation on
the LocalView module.
Hard disk drives
the installation up to six HDD modules is possible. Each HDD module can
accommodate a SCSI hard disk drive with an SCA (Single Connector
Attachment) interface and a height of at most 1 inch. The connection to the
SCSI backplane is made without cables via the SCA interface. This makes it
simple to plug in or pull out the HDD modules. If the server has a RAID controller
and the corresponding RAID configuration, faulty HDD modules can also be
replaced while the system is operating.
Additional controllers in non-hot-plug PCI slots
The system board offers five PCI slots. Slots 1-3 are non-hot-plug PCI slots with
a PCI bus speed of 100 MHz. If slot 1 and slot 2 are not occupied, slot 3 can
work with the PCI bus speed of 133 MHz (IDoubleOP™).
PCI slots 4 and 5 are hot-plug PCI slots which can be equipped with controllers
that have hot-plug capability (the hot-plug PCI slots are described in the
Operating Manual).
Optional riser card
Optionally you can install a Riser card into slot 5, which can be equipped with 3
controllers. The bus speed is 100 MHz. Two slots (6 and 7) can be equipped with
short standard PCI controllers and slot 8 can be equipped with a full length full
height PCI controller.

RX300 S2 Options Guide 11
Introduction Options and upgrade
RemoteView
RemoteView provides you with a comprehensive test and diagnostics package.
The test and diagnostics software is stored on a chipDISK. The chipDISK is a
memory component with an IDE interface. In the event of a fault the test and
diagnostics software is automatically loaded from the chipDISK and executed.
RemoteView Service Board S2 LP (2U/3U)
The RemoteView Service Board S2 LP (RSB S2 LP) is a PCI board with a
completely independent system, i.e. it has its own operating system with Web
server and SNMP agents and can optionally be equipped with an external
power supply. The RSB permits remote diagnosis for system analysis, remote
system configuration and remote restart even in the event of operating system
failure or hardware faults. It has its own LAN connection. All the functions of the
RSB are available via a LAN.
External SCSI interface
One channel of the on-board SCSI controller can optionally be made available
externally.
Parallel interface for printers
As an option, a parallel interface can be provided for printers.
Conversion of SCSI 1-channel version to SCSI 2-channel version
The internal SCSI configuration can be converted from a 1-channel version to a
2-channel version. The hard disk access times are shortened. Use of the
2-channel version together with a RAID controller increases the availability of
the system.
