Using Wake on LAN, LANClient Control Manager, or Client Services for Netfinity , administration and management of a network can be accomplished from a remote administration location. This reduces the number of on-site calls needed to administer a network. From its elegant exterior design to its uncluttered interior the system has been designed for easy upgrade and power. A powerful 330 W power supply provides power to spare for the most robust configurations. All models use one of the six slots for an AGP graphics adapter. Also, a SCSI adapter uses one slot in SCSI models. For expansion this leaves five open slots in all models except four open slots in SCSI models. The models with Intense3D Wildcat 4110 graphics adapter have one less slot due to width of the adapter. All models have two open RIMM slots for additional memory upgrades.
