Dell PowerEdge R900 Manuel technique

Information Update

Added Support for 8-GB Memory Modules

Your Dell™ PowerEdge™ R900 system now supports the following 8-GB memory

configurations:

• 32 GB — 4 x 8-GB quad-rank memory modules

• 64 GB — 8 x 8-GB quad-rank memory modules

NOTE: If 64 GB of memory is installed, the system will only recognize and display

63.75 GB during POST.

• 128 GB — 16 x 8-GB quad-rank memory modules

• 256 GB — 32 x 8-GB quad-rank memory modules

NOTE: Prior to upgrading your system, verify that the latest system BIOS version is on

your system. Loading the latest BIOS version from support.dell.com will ensure that

your system is fully supported.

NOTE: Some operating systems cannot support more than 4 GB of physical memory.

For more information on memory support requirements and restrictions, refer to the

operating system documentation that ships with your system.

BMC and DRAC5 Firmware Version Requirements

When upgrading either the BMC or the DRAC5, you must update the firmware

for both components to ensure full functionality and compatibility.

For example, the power reduction feature of the DRAC5 version 1.40 firmware

works only when BMC 2.27 or higher is also installed. If the BMC and DRAC

firmware are incompatible—BMC 2.27 installed with DRAC5 version 1.33 or

BMC 1.79 installed with DRAC5 version 1.40—the power reduction feature may

not function correctly.

September 2008

Back Cooling Fans

Systems manufactured after September 2008 no longer include the four back

cooling fans installed in earlier systems. Therefore, BMC version 2.27 does not

recognize the presence of back fans. The back fans will still run in older systems;

however, from a system perspective, the fans do not exist and are not monitored.

As a result, if the back fans fail, the SEL, server management software, and

remote access card will not log the error. This change does not compromise the

standard hot plug and redundancy features of the front fans.

New LCD Error Codes

The following LCD error codes have been added for your system. For a complete

list of error codes, see "About Your System" in your Hardware Owner’s Manual.

Encrypted Data

On systems using an operating system that supports the Trusted Platform

Module (TPM) and related encryption programs, you can use these features to

secure the contents of the hard drive(s).

If you are using the TPM with an encryption program, you may be prompted to

create a recovery key during system or program setup. Be sure to create and safely

store this recovery key. If you ever need to replace the system board, you must

supply the recovery key when you restart your system or program, before you can

access the encrypted data on your hard drive(s).
