System Memory The PowerEdge 4100 systems have a minimum of 64 MB of 72-bit-wide, buffered EDO memory. The system memory capacity can be expanded to 1024 MB (1 GB) by using combinations of 32- and 128-MB buffered, EDO dual in-line memory modules (DIMMs) having gold connectors. The system board has eight 168-pin DIMM sockets. The socket population rules for the DIMMs are as follows: • Populate the DIMM sockets in order from DIMM A (upper) to DIMM H (lower).
Video Controller The video subsystem is built into the system board and consists of a high-speed, high-resolution, VGA-compatible video subsystem. The video controller is connected to the PCI local bus. The standard video subsystem contains 1 MB of DRAM memory (the video memory size is not upgradable). Maximum noninterlaced resolutions are 640 x 480 pixels with 16.7 million colors, 800 x 600 pixels with 65,536 colors, and 1024 x 768 pixels with 256 colors.
SCSI ID Numbers Each device attached to the 7860 Ultra/Narrow SCSI host adapter must have a unique SCSI ID number from 0 to 7. For additional SCSI addressing information, see Chapter 10, “Installing Drives in the Internal Bays,” in the Installation and Troubleshooting Guide. When narrow SCSI devices are shipped from Dell, the default SCSI ID numbers are assigned as follows: • The computer’s built-in Ultra/Narrow SCSI host adapter is configured through the BIOS as SCSI ID 7.
System Unit The following subsections provide service-related information about the system unit. System Power Supply The 500-W system power supply can operate from an AC power source of 90 to 265 VAC at 50 or 60 Hz. When the power-supply paralleling board is installed, the power supplies are hot-pluggable. When the red LED on the power supply is lit (except during power-up), it indicates that the power supply has failed (see Figure 1-5). When the green LED is lit, it indicates that +5 VDC is on.
Pin Assignments for the DC Power Connectors (Nonredundant Systems) The power-supply output voltages for nonredundant systems can be measured at the connectors on the back of the power supply (P1, P2, P3, P4, and P5) or at the connectors on the power connector panel (J11, J12, J13, J14, and J15). The following illustrations show both sets of connectors. P2 P1 P5 P4 P3 Figure 1-6. Power Supply Connectors J12 (P2) J11 (P1) J15 (P5) J14 (P4) J13 (P3) Figure 1-7.

Chapter 2 Basic Troubleshooting This chapter describes basic troubleshooting procedures that can help you diagnose a computer system problem. These procedures can often reveal the source of a problem or indicate the correct starting point for troubleshooting the system. (A brief explanation of how to load and start the system diagnostics is located near the end of this chapter.) Dell recommends that you perform the following procedures in the order they are presented in this manual.
External Visual Inspection The external visual inspection consists of a quick inspection of the exterior of the computer, the monitor, the keyboard, any peripherals, and cables. While performing the visual inspection, make any necessary corrections. To perform the external visual inspection, follow these steps: 1. Turn off the computer, the monitor, and all peripherals. 2. Verify that all power cables are properly connected to the computer, the monitor and peripherals, and their power sources. 3.
Observing the Boot Routine After you have performed an external visual inspection as described in the previous section, you should boot the system and, while the boot routine is running, observe the system for any indications of problems. NOTE: Most of the steps in this procedure require observation of system functions and indications, some of which can occur simultaneously. It may be necessary to reboot the system several times in order to complete all of these steps.
5. Observe the monitor screen for the Dell Server Assistant Menu. Does the menu appear? Yes. See “Running the System Diagnostics” found later in this chapter. No. Proceed to the next section, “Internal Visual Inspection.” Internal Visual Inspection CAUTION: Before you proceed with the internal visual inspection described in this section, ensure that the user has saved all open files and exited all open application programs if possible.
4. Verify that all jumpers are set correctly. For information about these jumpers, see “System Board Jumpers” in Chapter 1. 5. Check all cable connectors inside the computer to verify that they are firmly attached to their appropriate connectors. 6. Reinstall the computer cover. 7. Reconnect the computer and any attached peripherals to their power sources, and turn them on. Does the problem appear to be resolved? Yes. No further steps are necessary. Terminate the procedure. No.
