Chapter 1 System Overview ® ® The Dell PowerEdge 4100 systems covered in this manual are high-speed, ® ® upgradable server systems, which use the Intel Pentium Pro family of microprocessors. PowerEdge 4100 systems incorporate the high-performance peripheral component interconnect (PCI) local bus as well as the extended industry-standard architecture (EISA) expansion bus. These buses are built into the system board, which integrates the microprocessor(s) and other elements of the basic comp

System Memory The PowerEdge 4100 systems have a minimum of 64 MB of 72-bit-wide, buff- ered EDO memory. The system memory capacity can be expanded to 1024 MB (1 GB) by using combinations of 32- and 128-MB buffered, EDO dual in-line memory modules (DIMMs) having gold connectors. The system board has eight 168-pin DIMM sockets. The socket population rules for the DIMMs are as follows: • Populate the DIMM sockets in order from DIMM A (upper) to DIMM H (lower). • The DIMMs should be obtained fr

Video Controller The video subsystem is built into the system board and consists of a high-speed, high-resolution, VGA-compatible video subsystem. The video controller is con- nected to the PCI local bus. The standard video subsystem contains 1 MB of DRAM memory (the video memory size is not upgradable). Maximum noninterlaced resolutions are 640 x 480 pixels with 16.7 million col- ors, 800 x 600 pixels with 65,536 colors, and 1024 x 768 pixels with 256 colors. Integrated SCSI Controllers

SCSI ID Numbers Each device attached to the 7860 Ultra/Narrow SCSI host adapter must have a unique SCSI ID number from 0 to 7. For additional SCSI addressing informa- tion, see Chapter 10, “Installing Drives in the Internal Bays,” in the Installation and Troubleshooting Guide. When narrow SCSI devices are shipped from Dell, the default SCSI ID numbers are assigned as follows: • The computer’s built-in Ultra/Narrow SCSI host adapter is configured through the BIOS as SCSI ID 7. • A SCSI CD-

System Unit The following subsections provide service-related information about the system unit. System Power Supply The 500-W system power supply can operate from an AC power source of 90 to 265 VAC at 50 or 60 Hz. When the power-supply paralleling board is installed, the power supplies are hot-pluggable. When the red LED on the power supply is lit (except during power-up), it indicates that the power supply has failed (see Figure 1-5). When the green LED is lit, it indicates t

Pin Assignments for the DC Power Connectors (Nonredun- dant Systems) The power-supply output voltages for nonredundant systems can be measured at the connectors on the back of the power supply (P1, P2, P3, P4, and P5) or at the connectors on the power connector panel (J11, J12, J13, J14, and J15). The following illustrations show both sets of connectors. P2 P1 P5 P4 P3 Figure 1-6. Power Supply Connectors J12 (P2) J11 (P1) J15 (P5) J14 (P4) J13 (P3) Figure 1-7. Power Connect
