The Interior - Left and Right Sides
The left side of the interior is where you'll find space for an AGP graphics card and a single 32-bit, 33MHz PCI device. As you can see, the ZMAXdp isn't shy about taking NVIDIA's newest toys.
Supplied with a dual-DVI GeForce 6800 GT on AGP, it's the upper limit of what the ZMAXdp, in this preview form at least, can handle, unless you sacrifice the optical power connector and use a Y-splitter to provide, unoptimally, the second Molex connector for a 6800 Ultra. There's simply not the cable length, and possibly PSU power provision, to support an Ultra, at least in the preview unit you see here.
The board itself is easy to fit to a new ZMAXdp, even with the drive cage packed full and screwed in place. The yellow jumper you can see on the bottom left of the photograph, excellently placed by IWill, is the CMOS clear jumper. It's the only thing you need to be careful of when fitting a graphics card to the unit, if you're sliding the card in from the side with the drive cage in place. Otherwise there's no issue if you're coming in from the top, with the drive cage swung out.
The card is retained to the chassis by a screw you'll need a driver to operate. It's one of the only driven screws you'll come across in the chassis, almost everything else using thumbscrews where possible.
Round the right-hand side you'll see the memory modules, along with the data and power connectors for the disk drives the ZMAXdp can support.
You can also see the beginnings of the copper coolers for the Opteron processors. Looking closer, you can see the disk drives hang just above the memory modules, taking up the interior space at the front-bottom of the chassis, their connector-laden sides accessible by the user with the lid off.
To get access to the cooler assembly and mainboard headers, from a fully-built ZMAXdp, you need to swing out the drive cage and separate the disk sub-cage from that.
