The Sales Manual is updated periodically as new features and options are announced that support these servers. Limitations The eserver 326 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 eserver 326 servers can address a maximum of 16 GB of system memory by adding a 2 GB PC2700 CL2.5 ECC DDR SDRAM RDIMM in each of the eight DIMM slots. All supported system memory is addressable through direct memory access. The eserver 326 server supports 512 MB, 1 GB, and 2 GB PC3200 CL3 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 CL2.5 ECC DDR SDRAM RDIMM memory. Only dual-processor systems support 16 GB of memory. Single processors only support 8 GB. Maximum memory capacity using PC3200 CL3 ECC DDR SDRAM RDIMM memory would be 8 GB in a dual processor system. Refer to the Planning information for supported memory options. To ensure proper air flow for cooling, the eserver 326 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. Mixing microprocessors of different speeds or cache size is not supported. SATA HDDs are not supported on the following operating systems: SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 8 for AMD64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (V2.1 for x86) Use the latest version of ServerGuide that is available on the Web. Earlier versions of ServerGuide may not be compatible with the server. Refer to the Software requirements section for operating system limitations.

This power supply is capable of providing sufficient power to run the server fully configured with supported devices. Cable orders: The dual 10/100/1000 Mbps, full-duplex, Ethernet PCI controllers, standard with the eserver 326 server, are connected directly to independent RJ-45 connectors. The RJ-45 connectors provide a 10/100/1000 Base-T interface (either at half- or full-duplex) for connecting twisted-pair cable to the Ethernet network. Cabling is not included with the server. To connect the Ethernet controller to a repeater or switch, use an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable with RJ-45 connectors at both ends. For 100 Mbps or higher operation, Category 5 cabling must be used. For 10 Mbps operation, Category 3, or better, cabling must be used. There are no additional cabling requirements, other than for system power, keyboard, mouse, and monitor connections. Installability: The eserver 326 server requires about 30 minutes for installation. Installation includes unpacking, setting up, and powering on the system. Additional time is required to install an operating system, additional adapters, or features.
