Connecting External Devices
When connecting external devices to your system, follow these guidelines:
l Install device drivers. (Device drivers are normally included with your operating system software or with the device itself.) See the documentation that
accompanied the device for specific installation and configuration instructions.
l Ensure that you attach devices to the correct connectors.
l With the exception of USB devices, always attach external devices while your system is turned off. Then, turn on any external devices before turning on
the system (unless the documentation for the device specifies otherwise).
For information about individual connectors, see your Installation and Troubleshooting Guide. For information about enabling, disabling, and configuring I/O ports
and connectors, see "Using the System Setup Program."
System Features
l Up to two Intel®Xeon™microprocessorswithafront-sidebusspeedof800MHz,aninternaloperatingspeedofatleast2.8GHz,andatleast1MBof
internal cache.
l Support for symmetric multiprocessing (SMP), which is available on systems with two Intel Xeon microprocessors. SMP greatly improves overall system
performance by dividing microprocessor operations between independent microprocessors. To take advantage of this feature, you must use an
operating system that supports multiprocessing.
l A minimum of 256 MB of registered PC-3200 DDR 2 400 SDRAM memory modules, upgradable to a maximum of 12 GB by installing combinations of 256-
MB, 512-MB, 1-GB, and 2-GB (when available), 2-way interleaving memory modules in the six memory module sockets on the system board.
l Support for software RAID levels 0 and 1.
l An optional IDE CD, DVD, or CD-RW/DVD-ROM combo drive.
l A 450-W non-hot-pluggable power supply.
The system board includes the following features:
l A single 3.3-V, 64-bit, 133MHz PCI-X expansion slot.
l Support for the following internal hard-drive (non-hot-plug) configurations:
¡ Up to two internal 1-inch SATA hard drives with an integrated SATA controller
