Additional Features
A high-speed bus architecture between the memory controller and device
I/O. For more information, see “HyperTransport Technology” (page 25).
Hyper Transport
64-bit processor interface bus running at half the speed of the system
microprocessor. See “Processor Bus” (page 24).
Processor system bus
Internal 512 KB level 2 cache per processor. See “Cache Memory” (page
23).
Memory caches
ROM-in-RAM implementation with 2 MB of boot ROM. For information
about the ROM, see “Boot ROM” (page 27). For information about the
ROM-in-RAM implementation, see the references listed in “ROM-in-RAM
Architecture” (page 46).
ROM
Up to three drive bays for serial ATA (SATA) drives with independent
buses and support for hot-pluggable drives using Apple Drive Modules.
See “Hard Disk Drives” (page 38).
Hard disk drive bays
Two USB 2.0 ports. See “USB Ports” (page 31).
USB 2.0 ports
Dual Ethernet ports for 10Base-T, 100Base-T, or 1000Base-T operation. See
“Ethernet Ports” (page 35).
Ethernet
Two FireWire 800 ports on back panel and one FireWire 400 on front. See
“FireWire Ports” (page 32).
FireWire por ts
Two PCI-X expansion slots for PCI or PCI-X cards. See “PCI or PCI-X
Expansion Slots” (page 25).
PCI-X card expansion
slots
The system monitors the fan speeds and reports if speeds are outside
acceptable range, indicating that a fan needs service.
