This First A prerequisite for using this manual to service Dell computer systems is a basic knowledge of IBM troubleshooting techniques. In addition to information provided in this manual and the User’s Guide that came with the system, Dell provides the Diagnostics and Troubleshooting Guide for troubleshooting procedures and instructions on using the Dell diagnostics to test the computer system.
The systems have been designed for better serviceability, increased reliability, SCSI hard-disk drives, thermal and power supply monitoring, and extended- data out (EDO) DIMMs that support ECC. The PowerEdge 2200 systems are freestanding or can be rackmounted for integrating your servers. The micro- processor(s) are mounted in modules on the system board, which allows for greater heat dissipation.
All of these features are briefly described in this chapter. For a complete list of system features, see “Technical Specifications” found later in this chapter. For information about installing the PowerEdge 2200 systems in a rack, see the Dell PowerEdge 2200 Systems Rack Kit Installation Guide (P/N 87743).

ID 0. You can configure any additional hard-disk drives to any of the still- available SCSI ID numbers. If Dell installs additional SCSI hard-disk drives in the system, they will be configured as SCSI ID 1 and SCSI ID 2.
The power-supply output voltages can be measured at the back (wire side) of the connectors without disconnecting them. Figures 1-6, 1-7, and 1-8 show the wire sides of the connectors. 1-10 Dell PowerEdge 2200 Systems Service Manual Table 1-1. DC Voltage Ranges Range +3.15 to +3.45 VDC +4.75 to +5.25 VDC...
