v

   

Integrated

 

network

 

support

 

The

 

server

 

comes

 

with

 

an

 

integrated

 

Broadcom

 

NetXtreme

 

Gigabit

 

Ethernet

 

controller,

 

which

 

supports

 

connection

 

to

 

a

 

10

 

Mbps,

 

100

 

Mbps,

 

or

 

1000

 

Mbps

 

network.

 

For

v

   

Large

 

system-memory

 

capacity

 

The

 

server

 

supports

 

up

 

to

 

8

 

GB

 

of

 

system

 

memory.

 

The

 

memory

 

controller

 

supports

 

error

 

correcting

 

code

 

(ECC)

 

for

 

up

 

to

 

four

 

industry-standard,

 

1.8

 

V,

 

240-pin,

unbuffered,

 

synchronous

 

dynamic

 

random

 

access

 

memory

 

(SDRAM)

 

dual

 

inline

 

memory

 

modules

 

(DIMMs).

 

v

   

Redundant

 

connection

 

The

 

addition

 

of

 

an

 

optional

 

network

 

interface

 

card

 

(NIC)

 

provides

 

a

 

failover

 

capability

 

to

 

a

 

redundant

 

Ethernet

 

connection.

 

If

 

a

 

problem

 

occurs

 

with

 

the

 

primary

 

Ethernet

 

connection,

 

all

 

Ethernet

 

traffic

 

that

 

is

 

associated

 

with

 

the

 

primary

 

connection

 

is

 

automatically

 

switched

 

to

 

the

 

redundant

 

NIC.

 

If

 

the

 

applicable

 

device

 

drivers

 

are

 

installed,

 

this

 

switching

 

occurs

 

without

 

data

 

loss

 

and

 

without

 

user

 

intervention.

 

v

   

ServeRAID

 

support

 

The

 

server

 

supports

 

ServeRAID

 

adapters

 

to

 

create

 

redundant

 

array

 

of

 

independent

 

disks

 

(RAID)

 

configurations.

Reliability,

 

availability,

 

and

 

serviceability

 

Three

 

important

 

server

 

design

 

features

 

are

 

reliability,

 

availability,

 

and

 

serviceability

 

(RAS).

 

The

 

RAS

 

features

 

help

 

to

 

ensure

 

the

 

integrity

 

of

 

the

 

data

 

that

 

is

 

stored

 

in

 

the

 

server,

 

the

 

availability

 

of

 

the

 

server

 

when

 

you

 

need

 

it,

 

and

 

the

 

ease

 

with

 

which

 

you

 

can

 

diagnose

 

and

 

repair

 

problems.

 

The

 

server

 

has

 

the

 

following

 

RAS

 

features:
