have at least the same clock frequency as the first processor.

TX300 S3 Options Guide 7
Introduction Extensions and conversions
Extension of the main memory
The eight slots for the main memory are suitable for FBD533/PC2-4200F or
FBD667/PC2-5300F Fully Buffered DIMM memory modules. The organization
in four memory banks, 1 to 4, permits rapid memory access with two-way inter-
leaving.
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 on-board SAS RAID controller can be upgraded to a RAID5 (RAID 0, 1, 5,
10, 50) controller with a "MegaRaid ROMB SAS" upgrade kit. In this case the
the RAID5 funtionality is activated by installing a license key and a cache
module.
RemoteView
RemoteView provides you with a comprehensive test and diagnostics package.
The relevant hardware components are integrated on the system board.
Additional accessible drives
Three free 5.25-inch bays are available for accessible drives.
In the third 5.25-inch bay a DVD-ROM drive or a multibay (FDD-DVD-LocalView
box) can be installed. The multibay can be equipped with a slimline floppy disk
drive, a slimline DVD-ROM drive and a LocalView module.
In the second and the third 5.25-inch bay a SAS/SATA HDD extension box can
be installed. This SAS/SATA HDD extension box can be equipped with a slimline
floppy disk drive (or a LocalView module), a slimline DVD-ROM drive and two
SAS/SATA hard disks.
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.

8 Options Guide TX300 S3
Notational conventions Introduction
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.
Additional controllers in non-hot-plug PCI slots
The system board offers five PCI slots. Slots 1, 2 and 5 are non-hot-plug PCI
slots.
PCI slots 3 and 4 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).
Parallel interface for printers
As an option, a parallel interface can be provided for printers.
Conversion of the floorstand model to a rack model
The floorstand model can optionally be converted so that the server can be
integrated into the common rack systems.
