Dell PowerEdge R900 Manual técnico
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

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).
