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
