1.2 Extensions and conversions
Second processor
The system board can be upgraded with a second processor. Only processors
of the same type may be used on the system board. The second processor
must have the same clock frequency as the first processor.
Extension of the main memory
The eight slots for the main memory are suitable for FBD533/PC2-4200F or
FBD667/PC2-5300F memory modules. Their organization in four memory
banks allows fast memory access with four-way interleaving.
Memory modules must always be installed in pairs. A memory bank must
always be fully equipped and with the same type of memory modules. For
further details see chapter “Main Memory” on page 21.
CD/DVD drive (option)
The PRIMERGY RX200 S3 Server is equipped with a slimline bay intended for
a CD/DVD drive (5.25 x 0.5 inch). For further details see chapter “CD/DVD
Drive” on page 33.
Additional controllers in non-hot-plug PCI slots
The system board has one PCI-X and one PCIe x8 slot. Because of the server’s
installation height, these can only be used via a riser card. Two different types
of riser card are available here:
● Type A: Two slots for PCI-X controller
Slot #1: 64 bit/100 MHz, low profile, max. length 175 mm
Slot #2: 64 bit/133 MHz, max. length 175 mm
● Type B: One slot each for a PCI-X and a PCIe controller
Slot #1: 64 bit/100 MHz, low profile, max. length 175 mm
Slot #2: PCIe x8, max. length 315 mm
I Both slots are not hot-pluggable.
For further details see chapter “Controllers in Non-Hot-Plug PCI Slots” on
page 37.
