 Systems Service Manual
SMART Support
The system has SMART-compliant hard-disk drives and SMART support in the 
system BIOS, which warns you at system start-up if a hard-disk drive has 
become unreliable.

ystem Unit
The following subsections provide service-related information about the system 
unit.
System Power Supply 
The 230-W system power supply can operate from an AC power source of 
115 VAC at 60 Hz or 230 VAC at 50 Hz. The system power supply provides the 
DC operating voltages and currents listed in Table 1-1.
NOTE: The power supply produces DC voltages only under its loaded condi-
tion. Therefore, when you measure these voltages, the DC power connectors 
must be connected to their corresponding power input connectors on the system 
board or drives.

Pin Assignments for the DC Power Connectors 
The power-supply output voltages can be measured at the back (wire side) of 
the connectors without disconnecting them. The following illustrations show 
the wire side of the connectors.
