IBM eServer 325 servers are intended for use as rack-drawer servers and are tested and designed to operate in a horizontal position. Standards These systems support or comply with the following standards: Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) specification 2.2 Hardware-enabled to meet the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 9241, Part 3 Equipment approvals and safety FCC - Verified to comply with Part 15 of the FCC Rules, Class A Canada ICES-003, issue 3, Class A UL 1950(12) CSA C22.2 No. 950 NOM-018(12) Note: (12) These servers are certified by the respective UL and NOM agencies. Operating Environment Temperature: 10.0 to 35.0 degrees C (50 to 95 degrees F) at 0 to 914 m (0 to 3,000 ft) 10.0 to 32.0 degrees C (50 to 90 degrees F) at 914 to 2,133 m (3,000 to 7,000 ft) Relative humidity: 8% to 80% Maximum altitude: 2,133 m (7,000 ft) Limitations The IBM eServer 325 server contains a single, configurable serial port. It can be configured to be operating-system controlled, service-processor controlled, or shared between the two. You can set the configuration by changing the header location to which the internal serial cable is plugged. The default location from the factory is in the shared position. In the shared position, the service processor controls the port until the operating system is running, then the operating system takes control. The service processor can regain control of the port for user-configured dial-out situations or if the operating system is not available, but operating system control cannot be reestablished without resetting the server. The IBM eServer 325 servers can address a maximum of 12 GB of system memory. All supported system memory is addressable through direct memory access. The IBM eServer 325 server supports 512 MB, 1 GB, and 2 GB PC2700 ECC DDR SDRAM RDIMM. All supported DIMMs can coexist in the same system. Memory must be populated in pairs. Note: Memory capacity is based on 2 GB PC2700 ECC DDR SDRAM RDIMM memory. Only dual-processor systems support 12 GB of memory. Single processors only support 8 GB. To ensure proper air flow for cooling, the IBM eServer 325 server requires a rack with a perforated door, such as the NetBAY42 SR or NetBAY25 SR. An alternative is to remove the front door of rack cabinets where the door panel is of solid construction. Microprocessor SMP upgrades must be of the same type and clock speed.
