1 Accessing the Components

This chapter describes how to access the internal components of the system so you can service and upgrade an InterServe 800 system. It also describes methods for avoiding electrostatic discharge and closing the base unit.
WARNING Follow all warnings and cautions in the servicing instructions. If you fail to follow
documented, approved procedures, personal injury and damage to equipment can result.
CAUTION Use an antistatic wrist strap for all servicing procedures to avoid the possibility of
electrostatic discharge.
NOTE “Right side” and “left side” are as seen from the front of the unit.

Avoiding Electrostatic Discharge

Sensitive components inside the base unit can be damaged by static electricity. To protect
against this possibility, take the following precautions when working with the system’s internal components.
u
Touch the bare metal of the base unit to ensure the base unit and your body are at the same electric potential.
u
Handle all printed circuit boards as little as possible and by the edges only. Leave new parts in their protective packaging until you install them.
u
Use a disposable or reusable antistatic wrist strap when servicing or upgrading the system. Once a disposable wrist strap is used, it cannot be used again.
u
A reusable antistatic wrist strap can be attached to any bare metal part of the base unit. The metal conductor in the elastic sleeve of reusable antistatic straps must contact bare skin.

Opening the Base Unit

CAUTION The system produces high-leakage current. Flip the circuit breaker (if included) to the OFF
position when servicing or upgrading the base unit.
Tools are not required to remove the side panels because twist locks secure the panels to the unit. The following table shows which panel to remove to access the internal components.
Panel
Components
Right side System board, memory, processors, main cooling fans Left side AC section for redundant power supply only Both CD-ROM drive, floppy disk (or combo) drive, power distributions board
assembly; 5.25-inch option devices, LCD board, RAID section
NOTE The redundant power supplies can be removed without taking off either of the side panels.
Side panel removal is necessary for removal and replacement of the fixed mount power supplies.
CAUTION Use caution to avoid injury when removing side panels and other hardware.
WARNING For units installed in a stand-alone rack, ensure the rack’s front and side stabilizers
are extended at all times. If the rack includes adjustable feet on the stabilizers, they must be in full contact with the floor. If the rack includes locking casters, they should be locked.
To open the base unit:
1. Defeat the system’s intruder alert. See System Setup for more information.
2. Log off and shut down the operating system.
3. If your system contains two 550 Watt power supplies, flip the circuit breaker switch to
the OFF position. If your system contains a 300 Watt power supply, turn the keyswitch to OFF and remove
the AC power cord before performing any service operations. Systems configured with the 300 Watt power supply do not have a circuit breaker.
4. If the base unit is in a rack and uses Intergraph sliding shelves, slide the unit out of the
rack.
Remove the screw (located under the sliding shelf handle) securing the sliding shelf
to the rack.
Disengage the sliding shelf by lifting the release lever.
3
Pull the shelf out until it locks in the extended position. The rback of the base unit
should clear the front of the rack by two inches. You may need to disconnect cables
to fully extend the unit.
The base unit can remain on the shelf during the servicing or upgrade procedures.
WARNING For units installed in a standalone rack, ensure the rack’s front and side stabilizers are
extended at all times. If the rack includes adjustable feet on the stabilizers, they must be in full contact with the floor. If the rack includes locking casters, they should be locked.
5. Locate the twist locks on the back of the base unit. Turn the locks counter-clockwise to
disengage the side panels.
6. Pull the side panels back an inch then lift them off the unit. Figures on the following
page show internal views of the system.
4
Right panel removed
Left panel removed
7. Before performing the service or upgrade procedure, review the section “Avoiding
Electrostatic Discharge.”

Closing the Base Unit

CAUTION After servicing or upgrading the system, always replace the panels that were removed. The
panels ensure the system maintains proper air flow, so internal components do not overheat and fail. The covers also ensure that electromagnetic interference (EMI) emissions remain below the standard requirements. The system will not start unless the panels are properly replaced.
To close the base unit:
1. Disconnect the antistatic wrist strap from the base unit.
2. Replace the side panels and turn the twist locks clockwise to lock the panels into place.
3. If the unit is rack-mounted:
Unlock the sliding shelf by pressing the release tab.
Push the base unit into the rack until it fully retracts and locks into place.
Secure the sliding shelf by installing the screw under the sliding shelf handle.

Preparing to Upgrade the System

Obey all warning and caution labels while replacing parts. The procedures in this chapter assume you have opened the unit to access the internal components. After you have finished
servicing the system, close the unit as described in Chapter 1, “Accessing the Components.”
WARNING Disconnect the system from AC power before servicing internal components! Failure
to remove AC power may result in equipment damage or personal injury.
WARNING Follow all warnings and cautions in servicing instructions. If you fail to follow
documented, approved procedures, personal injury or damage to equipment can result.
CAUTION Use an antistatic wrist strap for all servicing procedures to avoid the possibility of
electrostatic discharge.
CAUTION Do not overtighten screws and other fasteners to avoid damaging threads.
CAUTION The system produces high-leakage current. Flip the circuit breaker (if included) to the OFF
position when servicing or upgrading the base unit.

Adding Memory

You can upgrade memory on the system board in 64 MB, or 128 MB increments. The maximum total memory is 512 MB. Memory upgrade kits from Intergraph Computer Systems contain one DIMM and a disposable antistatic wrist strap.
CAUTION System memory modules from Intergraph Computer Systems are certified for use with
Intergraph computers at extremes of temperature and system load to ensure reliable performance. Memory modules available from other vendors may not function properly or reliably in your Intergraph Computer Systems computer.
To avoid damaging DIMMs and voiding the warranty, take the following precautions:
u
Do not touch the gold-plated finger contacts.
u
Do not install DIMMs that have tin-plated finger contacts.
u
Do not bend, twist, drop, or otherwise handle DIMMs carelessly.
u
Do not expose DIMMs to moisture or extreme temperatures.
u
Do not remove DIMMs from the antistatic bag until installation.
Before you install memory, do the following:
u
Inspect DIMM keying. The finger contacts on the DIMM must match the socket configuration. This ensures that you have the correct voltage and type of DIMM.
u
Inspect DIMM contacts. The DIMM must have gold-plated fingers that match the gold­plated socket contacts.
The following table shows possible memory configurations. Each bank contains one socket. NP designates the bank is not populated.

3. Remove all installed DIMMS (memory modules). Ensure the release tabs on both ends of the socket are open.
4. Install DIMMs one bank at a time in sequence from socket 0 to socket 3, beginning with the first open socket.
5. Grasp the DIMM so that the notch positions match the keys in the socket. See the
illustration in the section, “DIMMs,” in Chapter 2, “Replacing System Components.”
6. Insert the DIMM at a 90-degree angle into the socket.
7. Press the DIMM straight down into the socket. Do not rock the DIMM; apply even pressure along the top edge of the DIMM until the release tabs snap into place.
8. Swing the power supply back into the chassis and secure it with the plungers.
9. Restart the computer after adding or replacing DIMMs. The computer detects the new memory automatically.

Adding a Processor

Systems with a single processor are upgradeable to a dual processor capability. You can install a processor module with heat sinks (Intergraph Computer Systems standard part) or a boxed processor module with integral fan (non-Intergraph Computer Systems part). Single­to-dual processor upgrade kits include a CPU with attached heat sink and a separate voltage regulator module (VRM). Intergraph Computer Systems offers two processor speeds, 300 MHz and 333 MHz; see Chapter 4, “System Hardware,” for more details.
Processors are mounted in a dual processor retention module (DPRM), which surrounds the processor slots. See the system board diagrams in Chapter 5, “System Board,” for the location of processor slots and related connectors.
NOTE You do not have to change any jumper settings when installing a second processor.
NOTE Both processors in a multi-processor system MUST be the same speed.
To install a single-to-dual processor upgrade:
1. Remove the right side panel to expose the processor slots. See Chapter 1, “Accessing the Components,” for details.
2. Remove the bus termination card from J8, the secondary processor slot. Place the card in an antistatic package.
3. Orient the processor module so that the heat sink fins point to the bottom of the chassis and insert the module into the open socket on the DPRM.
4. Press straight down and apply even pressure at both ends of the CPU module until it seats. The DPRM is keyed to ensure proper insertion.
5. Press the processor module locking tabs outward until they click into the locked position.
6. Find J10, the secondary voltage regulator module (VRM) socket. It is immediately above J8.
7. Remove the new VRM from its antistatic package and slide the VRM into its socket.
8. Press straight down and apply even pressure at both ends of the VRM until it snaps into place. The socket is keyed to ensure proper insertion.
9. If you installed a boxed processor with integral fan into the secondary processor slot, connect the fan cable to J1, located near the bottom left corner of the system board. The fan cable for a boxed processor installed in the primary processor slot connects to J4, located near the bottom right of the system board. (Note that your InterServe 800 is not equipped with a boxed processor fan when shipped from Intergraph Computer Systems.)
10. Reinstall the ride side panel and restart the system. The number of installed prrocessors displays at the blue Windows NT boot screen.
31

Adding Expansion Cards

You can install Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI), non-compliant PCI, Industry Standard Architecture (ISA), and Plug-n-Play (PnP) expansion cards in the system. See below for a general description of the types of cards.
u
PCI cards contain configuration registers that define resource information to the system during startup. PCI cards do not require manual system configuration when installing
the card. The system BIOS detects the board’s presence during startup and reads information from the board’s configuration registers to assign the necessary system resources.
NOTE All PCI expansion cards sold by Intergraph Computer Systems fully comply with the
Peripheral Component Interconnect Specification, 2.1.
u
Non-compliant PCI cards mechanically comply with the Peripheral Component Interconnect Specification 2.1, but do not contain configuration registers that allow the
system to automatically assign the necessary resources. These cards install in PCI slots, but you must configure the BIOS to assign system resources before installing the card. In this regard, they are like ISA cards, as described below.
u
ISA cards do not contain registers that define the resource information to the system during startup. Therefore, you must configure the BIOS to define the card to the system before installing the ISA card. This reserves system resources for the card.
32
u
PnP cards are ISA cards that contain configuration registers like PCI cards. During startup, the system BIOS automatically detects the installed card and assigns the necessary system resources. Since a PnP card is ISA-based, you install it in the ISA slot.
NOTE Assign system resources for an ISA card and any non-compliant PCI cards before
installation. See “Assigning System Resources” later in this chapter.
Each installed PCI card must draw less than 25 watts of power. The total allowable maximum wattage for PCI cards is 175 watts. The PCI slots are limited to 25 watts power dissipation per the Peripheral Component Interconnect Specification, 2.1 .

Slot Locations

The expansion slots are located at the bottom left section of the system board, as shown below. Slots 1 through 4 are primary slots and slots 5 through 7 are secondary. Slot 7 is a shared PCI/ISA slot. You can install a card in the number 7 PCI slot or the ISA slot, but not both.
Slot 7 - ISA (shared)
Slot 0 - AGP

Upgrading Graphics Cards

The following graphics cards are used in InterServe 800 systems:
u
Intergraph G76 (standard)
Slot 7 - PCI (Shared)
Slot 6 - PCI Slot 5 - PCI Slot 4 - PCI Slot 3 - PCI Slot 2 - PCI Slot 1 - PCI
u
Intergraph Intense 3D 100
u
Matrox Millennium II
Intergraph Computer Systems installs the graphics card into PCI slot 2 by default. If necessary you can move the card to PCI slots 1, 3, or 4. Do not install graphics cards in PCI slots 5, 6, or 7. See the following procedure for steps to install a graphics card.

Installing Expansion Cards

For internal modem cards, SCSI adapter cards, and so forth, see the documentation that came with the card for additional details on configuration, cable connections, and operation.
To install an expansion card:
1. Remove the right side panel as described in Chapter 1, “Accessing the Components.”
2. Locate an open slot. If you are installing an Intergraph Computer Systems graphics card, see the discussion above for required slot assignments.
3. Remove the blanking plate for the slot. Keep the retaining screw.
4. Remove the expansion card from its antistatic packaging.
33
5. Slide the expansion card carefully into the card guides. Ensure that the gold-fingered connectors on the board’s edge are aligned properly with the slot connector.
6. Push the card into the slot firmly and evenly until it is fully seated in the slot connector.
7. Inspect the connection. If it does not appear to be correct, remove and reinstall the card.
8. Install the retaining screw.
9. Attach any required cables to the internal or external connectors.
10. Install the right side panel and restart the system. If necessary, assign system resources to the new card.

Assigning System Resources

Some expansion cards include a configuration diskette that you can use to reserve the system resources required for the card. Other expansion cards do not include a diskette, but require that you manually program the BIOS with the configuration information.
See the “Configuring the BIOS” chapter in the InterServe 800 System Setup for details on assigning system resources and configuring the BIOS for expansion cards.
NOTE Treat non-compliant PCI cards and PCMCIA cards as ISA cards for assigning system
resources.
34

Adding Peripherals

The system provides dual-channel Wide Ultra SCSI-3 support for internal and external mass storage devices.
The system features the following peripheral bays:
u
One 3.5-inch x 1-inch external bay for floppy or combo drive.
u
One 5.25-inch x 1.6-inch external bay for CD-ROM drive.
u
Two 5.25-inch x 1.6-inch external bays for disk drives or other devices.
u
JBOD systems provide either 4 or 8 (depending on configuration ordered) 3.5-inch x
1.6-inch internal bays for system or optional disks.
u
RAID systems provide 8 each 3.5-inch x 1.6-inch internal bays.
See the following chapters for related information and important details:
u
Chapter 4, “System Hardware,” for details on power supply cable connectors and pinouts.
u
Chapter 5, “System Board,” for details on SCSI connector locations and pinouts.
u
Chapter 6, “Peripherals,” for details on internal drive locations, configurations, jumpers, and cables.
Remember the following when installing devices in the system’s drive bays:
u
If you are installing a SCSI drive, have the vendor’s documentation available to follow instructions for setting the SCSI ID, disabling termination, installing device drivers when required, and configuring other drive attributes.
u
If you are installing a drive that connects to an adapter card, see the vendor’s documentation for installing the adapter card and required cables. See “Adding Expansion Cards” for details.
u
If you are installing a device with an EIDE interface, it must be mounted in one of the external drive bays only. You must also install a new EIDE control cable for your device.
NOTE The internal SCSI cable provides termination for the SCSI bus. When installing internal SCSI
drives, be sure to disable SCSI termination on the drives.

Peripheral Device Locations

You can add optional mass storage devices to the internal and external drive bays. The following shows peripheral device locations 1 through 12. Devices are installed in all locations for illustration.

Slide the Kingston removable disk drive module into the chassis, align the mounting holes, and install the mounting screws on the left and right sides of the chassis
9. Connect the proper interface cable (either SCSI or EIDE) and the power cable to the disk drive. Power cables for drives added to the external drive bays are clipped in the bottom of the chassis on the left side.
To install a drive in an internal bay (JBOD only):
1. Remove the right and left panels. See Chapter 1, “Accessing the Components,” for details.
2. Open the disk area door.
3. Remove the screws that secure the drive bay blanking plate to the front of the chassis.
4. Do all of the following:
Set the SCSI ID on the new drive to an unused ID number
Disable termination on the new drive
See Chapter 6, “Peripherals,” for details on these tasks.
5. Slide the drive into the JBOD housing in the next available opening from the bottom of the drive bay.
6. Install 4 screws to secure the drive to the JBOD housing.
7. Connect power and SCSI controller cable to the new drive.
8. Replace the drive bay blanking plate.
9. Close the disk area door and install the side panels.

Adding External SCSI Drives

You can add single-ended external SCSI drives to the system by connecting them to the Ultra SCSI port on the back of the system. A Wide Ultra SCSI external port is optional on RAID systems only. See “External Ports” in Chapter 5, “System Board,” for an illustration of port locations.
You can also install additional SCSI expansion cards (adapters) to support external SCSI
drives. See “Adding Expansion Cards” for details.
NOTE Most SCSI adapters do not recognize a hard disk drive that was formatted using a different
brand of adapter. For example, a hard disk drive formatted with an Adaptec SCSI adapter will not work with a Symbios SCSI adapter. You must use only Symbios-formatted hard disk drives with a Symbios SCSI adapter.

SCSI Cable Length Guidelines

The number of drives and length of the cables used to connect the drives is a factor when using SCSI-1, Fast SCSI (SCSI-2), Ultra SCSI, and Wide Ultra SCSI drives. Fast SCSI, Ultra SCSI, and Wide Ultra SCSI impose shorter cable restrictions than SCSI-1. The total length of the SCSI cabling must not exceed the following:
39
Drives
One to Four 19.8 ft
Five to Seven 9.9 ft
NOTE The SCSI controller (on the system board or an adapter card) counts as one device.
SCSI-1 Fast SCSI-2 Ultra SCSI Wide Ultra SCSI
(6 meters)
(3 meters)
9.9 ft (3 meters)
9.9 ft (3 meters)
9.9 ft (3 meters)
4.5 ft (1.5 meters)
9.9 ft (3 meters)
4.5 ft (1.5 meters)
The total length of the SCSI cabling is the sum of the following:
u
Wide Ultra SCSI cable inside the system - 52 inches (132 cm)
u
Ultra SCSI cable inside the system - 14 inches (35.5 cm)
u
SCSI cable inside each device - typically 8 inches (20 cm)
u
SCSI cable between the system and the first device
u
SCSI cable between each device

SCSI Cable Quality Guidelines

To ensure data integrity and optimum performance, do the following:
u
Use only Intergraph Computer Systems SCSI cables. Cables from other vendors may not provide adequate shielding.
u
Use the shortest cables possible to connect SCSI devices to the system and to each other.
40

SCSI ID Guidelines

By default, specific devices use the following SCSI IDs:
u
System disk drive (standard for boot device) uses ID 0
u
SCSI bus always uses ID 7
u
Read/write CD-ROM (optional) drive uses ID 4
u
4 mm DAT drive (optional) uses ID 6
u
Iomega Jaz drive (optional) uses ID 6
NOTE To easily determine the ID of each SCSI device on the system, restart the system. When the
BIOS screen displays, look for the list of SCSI devices and write down the ID for each device.
Some SCSI devices feature push switches to set the ID, while others have DIP switches or jumpers. See the vendor documentation for details on setting the ID.

SCSI Termination Guidelines for External Devices

Follow the guidelines below for terminating SCSI devices:
u
Enable termination on the last external drive on the SCSI cable chain. This is not true for devices installed on the Wide Ultra SCSI bus inside the chassis, that SCSI cable has an active terminator installed when shipped from Intergraph Computer Systems.
u
Disable termination on all other external drives on the SCSI cable chain.
u
Use only an active terminator on externally-terminated devices.

Connecting the External SCSI Drive

To add an external SCSI drive:
1. Connect one end of the external SCSI cable to one of the following external ports:
The standard Ultra SCSI port, located to the left of the I/O panel
The optional Wide Ultra SCSI port, located on the left side of the I/O panel on RAID system only and is available only when ordered as an option at the time the system is originally purchased.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the SCSI device.
3. Set the SCSI ID of the device to an unused number. See “SCSI ID Guidelines” above
for details.
4. Do one of the following:
If the device is the last or only device on the SCSI chain, enable SCSI termination
If the device is the first device or is between the first and last device on the SCSI chain, disable SCSI termination
5. Ensure that the power switch on the device is in the off position, and then connect the power cord to the device and then to an AC receptacle.
6. Turn on the power to the device and any other devices on the SCSI chain.
7. Start the system. If necessary, install the software drivers and configure the drive
according to the vendor’s instructions.

Changing SCSI Host Adapter or Device Settings

Depending on system configuration, or the capabilities of SCSI devices connected to the system, you may need to use the SCSI Configuration Utility to change host adapter or device settings. See the System Setup delivered with the system for details.

Use the following instructions if you need to disable the SCSI sync negotiation, which forces the controller to transfer data at a specified rate (slower than its capability) for the target devices.
To disable sync negotiation:
1. Power off the system and reboot into DOS using the SYSUTIL diskette.
2. From the SYSUTIL main menu, select SCSI Select Utility.
3. From the Options box, select Configure/View Host Adapter Settings.
4. Select the SCSI Device Configuration option.
5. Change the Initiate Sync Negotiation values for all the attached SCSI devices (represented by their SCSI ID number) to no.
6. Set the Maximum Sync Transfer Rate values for the devices to the desired settings. If changing these settings to extend cable lengths or add more devices, set Ultra SCSI devices to 10.0 or less.
NOTE The Advanced Configuration Option allows you to disable the Ultra SCSI controller. When
Ultra SCSI is enabled, the available sync rates are 20, 16, 13.4, 10. When Ultra SCSI is disabled then 10, 8, 6.7, 5 are available.
7. Press ESC until the Exit Utility dialog displays. Select Yes and press ENTER.
8. Press any key to restart the system.

LCD Board (MSMT344)

The LCD board consists of a four-line display screen, soft-touch buttons, and status LEDs that allow you to monitor the chassis (and the disk section, if RAID). The screen reports various status and events in a software-independent manner. The InterServe 800 power supplies feature a +5V output -- which is always on -- to report the system status even if the system is powered off.
The LCD board functions as a central resource through which system power and status signals are routed. The system monitor accepts status inputs from the dual 550 Watt power supplies, internal RAID disk section, temperature sensors, safety interlocks, and fans, and generates the appropriate alarms and alerts.
NOTE If the microcontroller of the LCD board fails, it will not issue a command to the power
supplies to turn-on when the keyswitch is moved to the on (|) position. The LCD board will not display any text on the LCD screen, and should be replaced.
The following diagram illustrates the routing of signals used to collect and report status through the microcontroller.

Channel Module

The disk section uses the dual-channel module (MSMT456) to enable two channels for the RAID disk section.

SAF-TE Card

The SAF-TE card (MSMT460) is the primary component that makes the disk section a RAID-capable subsystem.

Jumper Settings

NOTE RAID systems, which use the AMI RAID controller, do not use any jumpers on these headers.
The delay and SCSI ID setttings are controlled by the RAID controller.

Power Supplies

Two power supply options are available, as follows:
u
Single 300 Watt power supply (MPWS175)
u
Dual 550 Watt power supplies (MPWS139)

300 Watt Power Supply (MPWS175)

MPWS175 is a 300 Watt autoranging supply, that switches between 90-132 VAC or 180-264 VAC, depending on the location. The input frequency is 47-63 Hz, single phase. At full load, the power supply has a minimum efficiency of 65 percent.
The power supply is enclosed in a case that includes a fan to provide additional airflow
through the system. Refer to “Cooling Fans and Temperature Sensors” later in this chapter for more information.

2. These outputs are measured differentially at the Elcon connector terminated with 0.1 µf
ceramic capacitor.
3. The sum of the Initial Setting Tolerance and Line/Load Regulation does not exceed 3%
for the +3.3 V, +5.1 V, and +5.0 V outputs, 5% for the +12.0 V output, and 10% for the negative output voltages.
4. Any combination of +3.3 V or +5.1 V do not exceed their maximum power or 450 Watts
of total power.
5. Any combination of +3.3 V, +5.1 V, or +12 V do not exceed their maximum power or
550 Watts of total power.
6. This output is always on.

Operating Characteristics

The power supplies operate in the following manner.
u
Over-Current Protection is provided on +3.3 VDC and +5.0 VDC outputs. The Over­Current Protection disables the DC outputs (except the +5.0 V) and keeps them disabled until AC is cycled.
61
u
Over-Voltage Protection is provided on +3.3 VDC and +5.0 VDC. The Over-Voltage Protection disables the DC outputs (except the +5.0 V) when the output reaches 5.5-6.8 VDC for +5.0 V DC or 3.7-4.4 VDC for +3.3 VDC. The DC outputs remain disabled until AC is cycled.
u
Once the +5.0 V output is turned on by the power supply, it reaches its nominal output (see the table above) within 750 ms at all line and load conditions.
u
The current is equally shared (within +10%) by the two power supplies at maximum load. If one power supply fails, the remaining power supply takes over. +3.3 V, +5.0 V, +12 V, -5 V, and -12V power outputs have series-connected blocking diodes to prevent an output fault in one power supply from pulling down the outputs of the other power supply.
u
If one of the power supplies fails, the DC LED on the back of the power supply goes out, and the power supply status LED changes from green to amber. Look at the back of the base unit to see which power supply failed.
u
If a power supply is not supplying all of its DC voltage output levels correctly, an audible alarm sounds.
62

Connector Pinout

The power supply has two connectors that attach to J16 and J17 on the power distribution board. Both connectors have the same pinout, as follows.
Name Pin Name Pin Signal

NOTE The AC OK signal is a TTL-compatible signal. It monotonically (without wavering) transitions
to a high level to indicate that the AC input power is within 90-132 VAC or 180-264 VAC. The signal provides the 3 mA sink/source current as well as any current required for the LEDs. Provided that there is an AC input, this signal must be available to report whether or not the outputs are functional. Overshoot should be kept to less than 1 V above a maximum steady­state high-level output of 5 V. Undershoot should be kept to less than -1 V below a minimum steady-state low-level output of 0 V.
NOTE The DC OK signal is a TTL-compatible signal, and its purpose is to initiate an orderly start-up
procedure under normal operating conditions. During power up, this signal should remain low (less than 0.8 V) for at least 100 ms after all of the +5.1 V, +3.3 V, and +12 V outputs have reached their minimum sense levels of 4.75 V, 3.14 V and 11.4 V, respectively. The signal then monotonically (without wavering) transitions to a high level (greater than 2.4 V) to indicate that the power source is stable. The signal provides the 3 mA sink/source current as well as any current required for the LEDs. Overshoot should be kept to less than 1 V above a maximum steady-state high-level output of 5 V. Undershoot should be kept to less than -1 V below a minimum steady-state low-level output of 0 V.

Cooling Fans and Temperature Sensors

The server uses four main fans (CFAN123) to provide air flow through the system. The power supplies (MPWS175 and MPWS139) also each contain fans. The system fans are RPM-reporting so their status is available on the LCD screen. The fans for the 550 Watt power supply are enclosed in the power supply housing and are also RPM-reporting. The fan for the 300 Watt power supply is enclosed in the power supply housing.
There is an ambient temperature sensor located on the LCD board.

Configuration Data

DMA Ch annels

The system board uses Direct Memory Address (DMA) channels to exchange data without accessing the CPU. Some channels are assigned for specific use by the system, as defined below. Each DMA channel appropriates full 32-bit processing. For an ISA bus, channels 0 through 3 are 8-bit and channels 4 through 7 are 16-bit channels.

PCI to ISA Bus In terrupt Mapping

The ISA bridge provides the sixteen conventional ISA interrupts, plus four interrupt request pins for PCI peripheral interrupts (PIRQ0 through PIRQ3). For PC-AT architecture compatibility reasons, the PCI interrupts are routed to the ISA interrupts within the ISA bridge. The assertion of a PCI interrupt concludes in an ISA interrupt being asserted.
Bit 7 of each PIRQ registers enable (Low) or disable (High) for the routing of the PIRQ to an ISA interrupt. The lowest four bits (3:0) of each PIRQ register determines to which ISA interrupt the PIRQ is routed. You can map the PIRQs to the following ISA interrupts IRQ 5, 10, 11, 15. You can also map to IRQ 3, 4, 7, 12, and 14, but other devices are disabled if you do so.
Each PCI slot has four available interrupt lines: INTA, INTB, INTC, and INTD. These are connected to the PCI interrupts, PIRQ0 through PIRQ3, as shown below:
Interrupt Line
INTA PIRQ0 PIRQ1 PIRQ2 PIRQ3 PIRQ0 PIRQ1 PIRQ2 INTB PIRQ1 PIRQ2 PIRQ3 PIRQ0 PIRQ1 PIRQ2 PIRQ3 INTC PIRQ2 PIRQ3 PIRQ0 PIRQ1 PIRQ2 PIRQ3 PIRQ0 INTD PIRQ3 PIRQ0 PIRQ1 PIRQ2 PIRQ3 PIRQ0 PIRQ1

You can assign the spare interrupt listed above to an ISA device. When you add a PCI device to the system, the system BIOS automatically assigns the interrupt. However, at least one interrupt must be available for the PCI bus.
When you add an ISA board, you must reserve the interrupt using the AMIBIOS Setup utility and jumpers on the option board. See the System Setup delivered with the system for details on using AMIBIOS Setup. See also the vendor documentation for the option board for jumper and related information.

Peripheral Cables

This section provides information on peripheral cables and associated connections. See the
section, “Cable Routing and Pinouts,” in Chapter 5, “System Board,” for additional details. Cable illustrations are not to scale. You can identify the cables and connectors using their spacing as reference. Connectors for SCSI devices are spaced approximately 8 inches (20 cm) apart.
CAUTION You must disable termination on any SCSI device you install internally. If you do not disable
termination, the system may fail to start or may behave erratically.
See “Device Locations” in Chapter 3, “Upgrading the System,” for details on standard peripheral locations.
