complete information about safety precautions, working inside the computer, and protecting against electrostatic

discharge.

4Information Update

Reconfiguring the System for Regional Power Requirements

CAUTION: If you relocate a system operating in the 120–127 VAC or 200–240 VAC range to a different geographic

area, ensure that jumper CB_TYPE matches the AC line voltage range of your new location.

If the new power source is less than 120 VAC and you do not reconfigure jumper CB_TYPE for the lower voltage

power source, damage to the system power cable or the system itself may occur.

Table 1-1

lists countries where the AC line voltage may be less than 120 V. Confirm the power source in your

particular location and reconfigure the CB_TYPE jumper if necessary.

Table 1-2 and Figure 1-1 show the settings and location of the CB_TYPE jumper.

Table 1-1. Areas Where AC Line Voltage May Be Less Than 120 V

Processor Upgrades

If you add one or more processors to your system, ensure that all processors have the same stepping value

and the same cache size and technology. If you install processors with different speeds, they will operate

at the speed of the slowest processor.

You must install all voltage regulator modules (VRMs) included in the upgrade kit, in addition to the

processors. See "Processors" in your

Installation and Troubleshooting Guide

for details on installing processors

and VRMs.

Adaptec SCSI Card 39160 Expansion-Card Slot Restrictions

If you add an Adaptec SCSI Card 39160 to a system running the Microsoft Windows 2000 Server operating

system, and a Dell™ Remote Access Controller 4/P (DRAC 4/P) card is installed in expansion-card slot 7,

the Adaptec 39160 card must be installed in expansion-card slot 2.

Memory Test at System Start-Up

The

System Memory Testing

option in the System Setup program is disabled by default. If the option is

enabled, the system memory is tested at each system startup. Systems with large memory configurations

may take more time to complete the memory test. See your

User’s Guide

for information on the System

Setup program.

6Information Update

System Start-Up Behavior

The following system behaviors during system start-up are normal and do not indicate a problem with the

system:

• When AC power is applied to the system, if the System Setup program’s

AC Power Recovery

option is

not set to allow the system to power up when AC power is applied, the cooling fans will spin-up briefly

and then stop. (See your

User’s Guide

for information on the System Setup program.)

• It may take 30 seconds or longer for video to display after the system is powered on.

Integrated NIC IPMI Port Functionality

If you configure the integrated NIC for Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) pass-through

traffic, and you also configure the system to boot from the network using the same IPMI port, the NIC

will not be available for management traffic during system boot. After system boot is completed, IPMI

functionality is automatically restored.

In addition, if you configure the NIC to support IPMI management traffic, the NIC driver’s Large-Send

Offload (LSO) feature will be disabled on that port.

Remote Access Controller Card Interaction With Integrated Video

If you install an optional remote access controller card for remote systems management, the system’s front

and back panel video ports will be disabled.

System Messages

Table 1-3 provides an updated list of system

status messages that the system’s front panel

LCD may

display at system start-up, if a memory error occurs. See "System Messages" in your

Installation and

Troubleshooting Guide

for additional information about system messages.
