Table 1-1. System Features
Feature Description
Modular board set System is intended for use with a modular board set based on Pentium II
Xeon processor technology; from one to four processors and up to 4 GB
of memory.
Add-in board support Rail and back panel slots support up to 11 add-in boards (two ISA and
nine PCI).
3 1/2-inch diskette drive 3 1/2-inch diskette drive is externally accessible.
One location for a 3 1/2-inch
removable media device One externally accessible 3 1/2-inch half-height bay is available for server expansion.
5 1/4-inch SCSI CD-ROM 5 1/4-inch CD-ROM drive is externally accessible.
Three locations for 5 1/4-
inch removable media
devices
Three externally accessible 5 1/4-inch half-height bays are available for
server expansion (diskette, CD-ROM, and/or tape drives).
12 locations for 3 1/2-inch
Ultra2 Wide SCSI-2 hard
drives
Three hard disk drive cages; each holding up to four 3 1/2-inch hot-
swappable Ultra2 wide SCSI-2 hard drives. Each cage is secured behind
a metal EMI door; drives can be swapped in or out of the system without
powering it down. The array of drives allows easy setup of RAID
applications.
Hot swap-capable
backplane A hot swap-capable backplane is part of each drive cage assembly for SCSI hard drives. The backplane is designed for Ultra2 wide SCSI-2
devices that use the industry standard 80-pin Single Connector Attach
(SCA) connector. The backplane consists of a row of four drive
connectors.
Power supply From two to three 420 Watt autoranging power supplies are easily
removed/installed for service. In a three-supply system, the third supply is
redundant.
Software: utilities, setup BIOS Setup, Resource Configuration Utility, and SCSISelect Utility. The
EXPRESSBUILDER CD-ROM contains the setup utilities and the ESMPRO
CD-ROM contains the server management software.
Security Mechanical: Key lock at the front door. One intrusion sensor for front door
to secure diskette, hard disk, removable media device, power on/off
switch, reset switch, top cover, and left/right panel access. Three power
inter-lock sensors one on each side of the chassis and one on top of the
chassis. BIOS: Password enable.
