1-6 Dell PowerEdge 2200 Systems Service ManualFor more detailed information about DIMM installation guidelines and samplesof DIMM configurations, see “Adding Memory” in Chapter 7 of the DellPowerEdge 2200 Systems User’s Guide.See “DIMMs” in Chapter 4 for information on removing and replacing DIMMs.Advanced Expansion SubsystemThe computer system offers advanced expansion subsystems that can support amixture of traditional EISA expansion cards, Plug and Play ISA expansion cards,and PCI expansion cards. The EISA Configuration Utility included with the systemprovides a means of avoiding resource conflicts that might arise from such anarrangement.After all legacy cards have been configured with the EISA Configuration Utility,the system automatically assigns any required memory space, IRQ lines, andDMA channels to any installed Plug and Play ISA expansion cards and PCIexpansion cards the next time the system is rebooted. Chapter 5, “Using theEISA Configuration Utility,” in the User’s Guide describes the EISA Configura-tion Utility and provides instructions for using it to configure the system.The six expansion-card slots include three EISA expansion-card connectors andthree PCI expansion-card connectors. The expansion-card connectors arelocated on the system board (see Figure 1-11).Integrated Server ManagementThe system board contains integrated server management circuitry that moni-tors whether the system cooling fan is running, as well as critical systemvoltages and temperatures. The integrated server management circuitry worksin conjunction with the Intel LANDesk® Server Management suite.Video ControllerThe video subsystem (including the ATI mach64 [264VT] PCI video controller)is built into the system board and consists of a high-speed, high-resolutionVGA-compatible video subsystem. The video controller is connected to the PCIlocal bus. The standard video subsystem contains 1 MB of video memory,which is not upgradable.Maximum noninterlaced resolutions are 640 x 480 pixels (16.7 million colors),800 x 600 pixels (65,536 colors), and 1024 x 768 pixels (256 colors).Integrated SCSI ControllerA single integrated SCSI controller provides an Ultra/Wide (fast-20) SCSIinterface through a 68-pin connector on the system board. The integrated SCSIcontroller attaches to the PCI bus to provide a high-performance SCSI bus.The integrated SCSI controller provides control for the three SCSI hard-diskdrives in the SCSI hard-disk drive cage, the CD-ROM drive in the middleexternally accessible drive bay, and a SCSI drive installed in the lowerexternally accessible drive bay.
