Product Description

The Model 748 Ruggedized Workstation

The Model 748 ruggedized workstation provides a VMEbus card cage for a wide variety of VME and PCI or EISA cards. In combi nation with the Model 743 or Model 744 board computer as the system contr oller , the Model 748 is

exceptionally flexible and responsive, being based on Hewlett-Packard’s PA-RISC technology. Figure 1-1, Figure 1-2, and Figure 1-3 show a front view of the Model 748, a rear view, and the front panel of the board computer.

• Width: 425.45 mm (16.75 in.)

• Depth: 419.1 mm (16.5 in.)

• Power: fully loaded, 90 A @120V ac

NOTE: Power requirements depend on the RAM, graphics, and SCSI hardware.

VME cards, and PCI/EISA card configuration as well as the software being run. For example, each additional RAM card on the Model 743 board computer adds .2 amps to the +5 Vdc requirement. For additional power required by your VME and PCI/EISA card configuration, please see the hardware specifications in your board computer service manuals.

Power Budget

This chapter discusses the power budgeting for the Model 748 workstation.

Power Budget

Power Budgeting

If your workstation’s application requires several accessory cards and mass storage devices, power budgeting may be requ ired. Power bu dgeting e nsures that the power nee d ed for the following in ter n a l d evices does not exceed the power available:

• Mass storage devices

• Model 743 and Model 744 VMEbus Board Computer(s)

• Standard internal printed ci rcuit boards

• VME, PCI, and EISA accessory cards The Model 748 ruggedized workstation uses two power supplies. Each

power supply provides voltages to the workstation's modules and accessory card slots as listed in Table 2-6 and Table 2-7.

These tables are also worksheets to use in determining your power budget. You may photocopy these tables as needed.

To determine the workstation’s power needs, follow these instructions: 1 Determine the board computer’s cu rrent requirem ents from the Co mputer

Current Requirements Worksheet (Table 2-3 or Table 2-4).

2 To determine the maximum current usage of the Model 744 memory

cards, either use Fi gure 2-1 and Table 2 -1 (for Model 744/132 L) or Tabl e 2-2 (for Model 744/165L). You must work with the worst case power draw to correctly determine power usage. Determine worst case power draw by examining active memor y bank confi guration s, using the following steps:

a Examine your memory card configuration, not ing which size card is i n

each memory slot.

b The worst case active memory bank configuration depends on the slot position of the

memory cards, and the size of the cards. The 32 MB memory card has two banks per card, and th e 16, 64,1 28, and 25 6 MB cards e ach have o nly one memory ba nk per car d.

• When 32 MB cards are used as a pair in memory slots 2 and 3 they can use three memory banks concurrently.

• When used as a pair in slots 0, 1, or 2, the 32 MB cards can have two active mem-

ory banks.

• The 16, 64, 128, and 256 MB cards each have only one memory bank that is active at any one time.

The worst case power draw is when your system has two 32MB cards in slots 2 and 3 (these banks would be considered active, all other memory cards/banks would be considered inactive). The next worst case is a 256 MB card in any sl ot (all other memory cards in the system would be inactive), followed by a 64 MB card in any slot (all other memory cards in the system would be inactive), followed by two 32 MB cards in slots 0, 1, or 2 (all other memory cards in the system would be inactive), followed by a 128 MB card in any slot, and finally a 16 MB card in any slot (all other memory cards in the system would be in active).

c Inactive memory banks are those ba nks on cards in your conf iguration

in addition to the worst case a ctive memory banks . They must a lso be added to the calculation.

d Fill in the information in Table 2-1 or Table 2-2.
