Introduction: Dell™ PowerEdge™
6300 Installation and Troubleshooting Guide
Dell PowerEdge 6300 computer systems are
high-speed servers that offer significant service and upgrade features.
The Dell PowerEdge 6300 systems include
the following service features to make troubleshooting easy and effective:
- Dell Diagnostics checks for hardware problems (if the system can boot)
- Embedded server management hardware that monitors
temperatures and voltages throughout the system and notifies you if the system overheats
or if a system cooling fan malfunctions
The Dell PowerEdge 6300 system chassis
simplifies removing and replacing computer components. The sliding system board tray
allows easy access to the system board for performing processor and memory upgrades. 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 plastic drive rails attached to devices mounted in the external drive
bays allow you to remove these devices without removing a single screw.
Many upgrade options are offered for the
Dell PowerEdge 6300 systems, including the following:
- Additional microprocessors
- Additional memory
- A variety of expansion-card options (including redundant array of
inexpensive disks [RAID] controller host adapter cards)
- Additional SCSI CD-ROM, tape, and hard-disk drives
- A Dell Remote Assistant Card for system management
