I know what is in mine, I don't know what was optional and
what was standard.

It is the 80 pin SCSI that includes power and data in one

SIMMS go in sets of four for servers, and pairs for workstations,
according to the internal label.  There are three sets of
four SIMMs, so 4GB, 2GB, 4GB, so individual SIMMs are either
1GB or 0.5GB.  All slots full.

Hmm.  I am not sure, and the label (put on by the seller) seems
to have faded.  Fast enough for me.
