v Integrated network support
Your server comes with an integrated Broadcom 5704 Dual Gigabit Ethernet
controller, which supports connection to a 10-Mbps, 100-Mbps, or 1000-Mbps
network. For more information, see "Configuring the Gigabit Ethernet controller"
on page 29.
v Large data-storage capacity and hot-swap capability
Your server supports up to two 25.4-mm (1-inch) slim-high, 3.5-inch hot-swap
hard disk drives in the hot-swap bays. With the hot-swap feature, you can add,
remove, or replace hard disk drives without turning off the server.
v Light Path Diagnostics feature
The Light Path Diagnostics feature provides LEDs to help you diagnose
problems. For more information, see the section about the Light Path Diagnostics
feature in the Installation Guide.
v Redundant connection
The intergrated dual Giagabit Ethernet ports provide a failover capability. If a
problem occurs with the primary Ethernet connection, all Ethernet traffic
associated with the primary connection is automatically switched to the
secondary connection. If the appropriate device drivers are installed, this
switching occurs without data loss and without user intervention.
v Redundant cooling and power capabilities
The redundant cooling of the fans in your server enable continued operation if
one of the fans fails. Your server comes with two 550-watt hot-swap power
supplies, which provide redundant power for many server configurations. If the
average load on your server is less than 550 watts and a problem occurs with
one of the power supplies, the other power supply can meet the power
requirements.
v Scalable partitions
Your server is scalable and can be connected to another server so that you can
share resources between servers.

v ServeRAID
support
Your server supports ServeRAID adapters to create redundant array of
independent disks (RAID) configurations.
v Symmetric multiprocessing (SMP)
Your server supports up to eight Intel Xeon microprocessors (sixteen in a 16-way
configuration). The server comes with two microprocessor. You can install
additional microprocessors to enhance performance.
v Systems-management capabilities
The server comes with a Remote Supervisor Adapter installed. The adapter and
the systems-management software that comes with your server enable you to
manage the functions of the server locally and remotely. The Remote Supervisor
Adapter also provides system monitoring, event recording, and dial-out alert
