Intel SR1500AL doesn't see 4 GB

Hi,
I'm attempting to install FreeBSD 6.2 on Intel Server System SR1500AL
with 4 gigs ram and CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU 5130 @ 2.00GHz
(2002.99-MHz 686-class CPU). The install goes OK, but FreeBSD doesn't
recognize that there's 4 gigs of ram unless I rebuild the kernel with
PAE enabled; it sees only ~2.5 gb otherwise. And there's a suspicious
white line emmited during boot: like "1.5 gigs above 4 were ignored".
What's up with that? As I'm new to high-end hardware, am I using the
right FreeBSD build of i386? Why can't it see 4 gigs without PAE?
Thanks a lot.
