Chapter 1 Getting Started
Congratulations on your purchase of the H4204 server system. The H4204 server
system supports up to sixteen memory DIMMs (four for each processor installed)
accommodating up to 64 GB of memory capacity using registered PC3200/2700/2100
ECC DDR memory modules.
The H4204 server system is designed for flexibility and expandability, which is
achieved via a modular design. The H4204 server system includes one CPU main
board, one I/O module board with two 64-bit/133MHz-expansion slots and two x16
PCI-express expansion slots by x8 PCI-express lanes, and one Hyper Transport
bridge via HTX Pro technology to join the modules together. The H4204 server system
also features with an advanced cooling system to guarantee reliability and
performance.
Additional features such as onboard Broadcom®5721 Gigabit Ethernet controllers and
onboard ATI®RageXL video controller with 8MB external memory provide high system
capabilities that meet a wide range of demanding server applications.

Be aware of the airflow for H4024 server! The H4024 server system uses forced direct-airflow to cool
the system. The above operating conditions should be maintained for reliable operation. In order to
avoid conditions which may lead to overheating, please do not let heated exhausted air from other
equipment enter:
1. The front of the rack or the cabinet
2. The access panels of the server.
Leave your system in the shipping crate at its final destination for 24 hours in the environment where
you will set it up. This is to prevent thermal shock and condensation. To minimize the chance of system
failure, use the server within the optimal temperature and humidity ranges as follow:
1. The optimize ambient temperature of operating is required as 21°C to 23°C
2. The optimize relative humidity of operating is 45% to 50% non-condensing.
