Dell™ PowerEdge™ 2550 Systems Installation and Troubleshooting Guide
Dell™ PowerEdge™ 2550 systems are compact, high-speed servers that offer significant service and upgrade features. These systems include the following service features to make troubleshooting and repair easy and effective:
Dell Diagnostics, which checks for hardware problems (if the system can boot)
Embedded server management hardware, which monitors temperatures and voltages throughout the system and notifies you if the system overheats, a system cooling fan malfunctions, or a power supply fails
The chassis simplifies removing and replacing system components. The Dell-designed small computer system interface (SCSI) backplane board and hard-disk drive carriers eliminate the extensive cabling and drive configuration usually required for a SCSI subsystem.
The following upgrade options are offered for your PowerEdge system:
An additional microprocessor
Additional memory
An optional redundant power supply
An integrated redundant array of independent disks (RAID) controller that supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, and 10
An optional SCSI backplane daughter card for split SCSI backplane support
A SCSI backplane extender board to support a fifth SCSI hard-disk drive in the peripheral bay
A variety of expansion-card options
A Dell OpenManage™ Remote Assistant Card for system management
