Introduction: Dell PowerEdge 2400 Systems Installation and Troubleshooting
Guide
Dell PowerEdge 2400 computer systems are 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, if a system cooling fan malfunctions,
or a power supply fails
- Optional redundant, hot-plug power supplies
The Dell PowerEdge 2400 system chassis simplifies removing and replacing computer
components. You can perform processor and memory upgrades without removing the system
board. 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 the Dell PowerEdge 2400 systems:
Additional memory
An integrated redundant arrays of independent disks (RAID) controller
A 1 x 6 or 1 x 4 SCSI backplane
A variety of expansion-card
options
Dual redundant, hot-plug power supplies
A Dell OpenManage Remote Assistant Card 2 (DRAC 2) for advanced
server management
