System Features
Your system features the following major components:
! Quad high-performance Intel
®
Itanium
®
2 64-bit 1.3GHz/3MB or 1.5GHz/6MB
processors per CellV Board.
! Up to two CELLV Boards, each supporting the installation of up to 4 CPUs
(Intel Itanium 2 processors) for a total of 8 CPUs in the system.
Each CELLV Board has 16 DIMM sockets and supports from 4 GB (using four
1-GB DIMMs) to 16 GB (using sixteen 1-GB DIMMs) of ECC SDRAM four-
way interleaved memory.
! Core Module that includes:
Interface to connect with the optional PCIX Unit (1.6G interface)
Twelve PCI-X expansion slots for add-in boards. A Basic I/O Board and
VGA card are installed in two of the PCI-X expansion slots. The Core
Module includes eight 64-bit/66-MHz hot-swap PCI-X slots and four
64-bit/133-MHz hot-swap PCI-X slots.
Two USB interface ports, two IDE interface ports, Mouse interface and
Keyboard interface ports.
ATI RAGE XL Video Graphics Array (VGA) controller with 8MB of video
memory (VRAM)
DVD-ROM unit
Bay for an optional DAT drive or optional USB FDD unit
Four hot-swap SCSI hard disk drive bays accessible from the front of the
chassis; each drive bay can contain a 36-GB, 73-GB, or 146-GB SCSI hard
disk drive.
! Intelligent Service Processor-Clock (iSP-C) Board which provides diagnostic
functions and clock distribution.
! Hot-swap SCSI disk drive backplane; a failed drive can be removed and replaced
with a new drive without system power being turned off (if software mirror has
been configured).
! Hardware monitors (temperature, fans, and voltage) and software monitors to
indicate failures.
! The main chassis supports three power supply modules. Only two of the modules
are required to power the system. The additional power supply module provides
hot-swappable redundant power (i.e., the system will continue to operate with a
single power supply failure). With three power modules installed, one power
module can be easily removed or installed from the front of the chassis without
turning the system power off.
