Q2.
What is ECC memory?
A2.
ECC memory, or Error checking and Correcting memory, helps protect your server from failure due to errors in the transfer of data to and from the memory. Unlike standard memory, ECC memory can actually detect and correct single-bit errors. With standard memory if even a single-bit memory error occurs, your server stops functioning.
Q3.
Does the DL120 G5 support PCI-X cards?
A3.
Yes. Although the standard configuration of the DL320 G5p includes 2 PCI-Express connectors, the optional PCI-X Riser option kit can be used to convert the full-length, full-height PCI-Express slot into a 64-bit, 133MHz PCI-X connector.
Q4.
Does the DL120 G5 support hot-plug hard disk drives?
A4.
