Opening the Base Unit
The system contains safety interlock switches that turn the system power off when you remove a side
panel (in systems with 550 Watt power supplies) or the power supply cover (in systems with 539 Watt
power supply). You do not have to manually power off the system before servicing, but you must log
off and shut down the operating system to preserve data on the disk drives.
The side panels are secured using twist locks on the back of the unit, so you need no tools to remove
them. The following table shows which panel to remove to access the internal components. The right
side and left side are as viewed from the front of the system.

CAUTIONUse an antistatic wrist strap for all servicing procedures to avoid the possibility of electrostatic
discharge (ESD). ESD can damage components inside the system.
33
Adding Memory
The following memory kits are available for adding memory to the system. Each memory kit contains
four SIMMs and a disposable antistatic wrist strap.
NOTEBase memory uses four SIMMs. The first upgrade adds four SIMMs, and subsequent upgrades add
eight SIMMs (two upgrade kits).
CAUTIONSystem memory modules available from Intergraph have been certified for use with Intergraph
computers at extremes of temperature and system load to ensure reliable performance. System
memory modules available from other vendors may not function properly or reliably in your Intergraph
computer.

All SIMMs must be the same size and the banks must be filled sequentially. The following figure
shows the bank layout. Individual sockets are labeled J21 through J52 from left to right. Base memory
for InterServe 8000 systems is installed in sockets J35, J36, J39 and J40 of Bank 0.

To avoid damaging the SIMMs, take the following precautions.
u
Do not bend, twist, drop, or otherwise handle the SIMMs carelessly.
u
Do not expose the SIMMs to moisture or extreme temperatures.
u
Do not remove the SIMMs from the antistatic bag until installation.
To install memory:
1. Remove the left side panel. The following figure shows the memory sockets on the processor
board.

2. Examine the sockets and become familiar with the layout as shown in the figure above.
3. Remove all installed SIMMs (memory modules).
4. Starting from the outer socket of the last bank to be populated, install a SIMM at an angle (leaning
towards the center of the board) and push the SIMM up. Ensure the metal socket tabs engage the
SIMM. Repeat for every SIMM, installing the next SIMM into the socket closer to the center of
the board.
For example, if your InterServe system has minimum memory (four SIMMs), and you are adding
three Intergraph memory kits (12 SIMMs total), install the first two SIMMs in sockets J29 and J44
of Bank 1, then work towards the center of the board.
5. Close the base unit and restart the system. The total installed memory displays during Windows
NT boot up.
NOTEIf the total expected memory does not display, ensure all the SIMMs are installed in the correct sockets
and fully seated in the sockets. If the SIMMs are properly installed, then one or more SIMMs are faulty.
Obtain replacement SIMMs.
36
Adding Processors
The system supports up to four processors on the processor board. All four sockets are Zero Insertion
Force (ZIF) type that meet Overdrive Socket 8 specification.
Each processor upgrade kit from Intergraph includes two processors (with heat sink attached to each),
two Voltage Regulator Modules (VRMs), two metal clips, and a disposable antistatic wrist strap.
Follow these instructions to install the upgrade.
To upgrade the processors:
1. Remove the left side panel. Examine the existing processors and VRMs to see how they fit into
their sockets. Note the metal clip securing the processor heat sinks.

2. Raise the levers on the two empty processor sockets.
3. Install the processors into the sockets. The pins on the bottom of the processors are arranged to
ensure proper insertion into the socket.
4. Attach the metal clip to each processor and heat sink. Both ends of the clip must engage the socket
tabs.
5. Install the VRMs into their sockets. Press the VRM evenly and firmly. When properly installed,
the socket tabs will hook over the notches inside of the VRM.
6. Close the base unit and restart the system. The number of installed processors displays at the blue
Windows NT boot screen.
NOTEIf the new processors do not display, ensure the VRMs and processors are fully seated in their sockets.
Converting a Non-RAID System to RAID
If your system uses non-RAID disk drives, you can convert it to use RAID drives by swapping the nonRAID components with their RAID counterparts.
To convert a non-RAID system to RAID:
1. Remove the right side panel.
2. Disconnect the two SCSI cables from the UW SCSI controller.

9. Close the base unit and restart the system.
10. Install the InterRAID software and configure the drives for RAID use. Refer to the InterRAID
documentation included with the upgrade kit.
Adding Option Boards
This section describes how to install option boards and assign system resources if the option board
requires special assignments. The following paragraphs summarize the design of Peripheral
Component Interconnect (PCI), non-compliant PCI, Industry Standard Architecture (ISA), and Plug-nPlay (PnP) option boards.
39
Jumpers OffJumpers On
u
PCI boards contain configuration registers that define resource information to the system during
startup. PCI boards do not require manual system configuration when installing the board. 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. The system’s PCI slots are
limited to 25 Watts power dissipation per the Peripheral Component Interconnect Specification.
Installed PCI boards must draw less than 25 Watts of power. Also, the total power consumed by
all PCI boards in the system should be less than 180 Watts.
u
Non-compliant PCI boards mechanically comply with the Peripheral Component Interconnect
Specification, but do not contain configuration registers that allow the system to automatically
assign the necessary resources. These boards install in PCI slots, but you assign system resources
manually (using AMIBIOS Setup) before installing the board. In this regard, they are like ISA
boards, as described below.
u
ISA boards do not contain registers that define the resource information to the system during
startup. Therefore, you must run the AMIBIOS Setup to define the board to the system before
installing the ISA board. This reserves system resources for the board and prevents conflicts with
ISA option boards already installed. Refer to “Assigning System Resources for Option Boards” in
the System Setup.
u
PnP boards are ISA boards that contain configuration registers like PCI boards. During startup,
the system BIOS automatically detects the installed board and assigns the necessary system
resources. Since PnP boards are ISA-based boards, they must be installed in the ISA slots.
40
The following table shows the required and recommended slots for installing Intergraph option boards.
All PCI option boards sold by Intergraph fully comply with the Peripheral Component Interconnect
NOTEThe RAID controller is included in the kits for InterRAID-8e expansion disk array cabinets.
To install option boards:
NOTEAssign system resources for ISA and non-compliant PCI boards before installation. Refer to th e
section, “Assigning System Resources for Option Boards” in the System Setup.
1. Remove the right side panel as described in Chapter 1.
2. Using a quarter-inch nutdriver, remove the screw and blanking plate from an available slot.
3. Install the option board. Press firmly to ensure the board seats completely into the slot.
4. Connect the required external cables to the option board.
5. Secure the board to the chassis using the screw removed in step 2.
6. Close the base unit.
7. Restart the system, and note the special information about ISA boards, PnP boards, and the
InterSite Server Monitor card.
−
For ISA boards, refer to the System Setup document delivered with the system for information
about BIOS parameters that should be set.
− For PnP boards, notice when the following message displays: Hit DEL if you want to
run SETUP. Press
DELETE to run AMIBIOS Setup, and enable the “Boot to PnP Operating
System” parameter under PCI/PnP Setup menu. Exit AMIBIOS Setup and restart the system.
Refer to the System Setup document delivered with the system for instructions to use
AMIBIOS Setup.
−
For the InterSite Server Monitor card, the BIOS automatically assigns resources, which may
conflict with other ISA boards already installed in your system. If so, the message Static
Resource Conflict displays during bootup. Use AMIBIOS Setup to modify the “Server
Monitor” parameters in Chipset Setup menu so they do not conflict with other boards. Refer
to the System Setup document delivered with the system for instructions to use AMIBIOS
Setup.
Adding External SCSI Drives
You can add single-ended external SCSI devices to the system by connecting them to the SCSI port on
the back of the base unit. Additional SCSI option boards (adapters) can be installed to support external
SCSI devices as well. Refer to the “Adding Option Boards” section earlier in this chapter to install
new boards.
Cable Length Requirements
InterServe 8000 systems are equipped with an Ultra SCSI controller (AIC 7860) for all internal and
external SCSI devices. By default, the controller arbitrates with each device (that is, initiates sync
negotiation) to determine the data rate the device will use to transfer data (5, 10, or 20 MHz). If the
target device complies with the 20 MHz SCSI specification, then the data transfer rate will be 20 MHz.
If another device complies with 10 MHz, then date transfer will be at 10 MHz without changing any
settings for the controller or the target device.
41
The number of devices and length of the cables used to connect the devices becomes a factor when
using Fast SCSI-2 or Ultra SCSI devices. Ultra-SCSI devices impose shorter cable restrictions than
Fast SCSI-2 or SCSI-1. The total length of the SCSI cabling must not exceed the following:
SCSI cable between the base unit and the first device
u
SCSI cable between each device
Connecting the Device
To add an external SCSI device:
1. Connect the SCSI cable to the SCSI port on the base unit and to the device.
2. Set the device’s SCSI ID to an unused number (1, 2, 3, 5, or 6). By default, the following devices
use pre-defined SCSI IDs:
−
System disk drive uses ID 0.
−
CD-ROM drive uses ID 4.
−
SCSI bus uses ID 7.
3. Disable or enable the device’s SCSI termination according to the vendor’s instructions. The last
external device on the SCSI cable chain must have SCSI termination enabled. All other external
devices must have SCSI termination disabled.
4. If necessary, install the device drivers and configure the device according to the vendor’s
instructions.
Disabling SCSI Sync Negotiation
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.
NOTEThe 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.

Memory Subsystem
Components
The components that make up the memory subsystem include the Orion data path (OMC-DP), Orion
data controller (OMC-DC), four memory interface chips (MICs), sockets, and memory modules.
The OMC-DP provides a consolidated memory data path between the P6 bus and the memory interface
chips (MICs). The MICs provide the interface between the P6 bus (via the OMC-DP) and the installed
memory modules. Each MIC handles ¼ of the memory data path, and is optimized for interleaved
performance using read-around writes and data buffering. The OMC-DC is an addressing and control
device for the DRAM array that interfaces to the OMC-DP, MICs and the installed memory modules.
The sockets on the processor board accept 60 ns, fast page mode, 72 pin (parity pinout) single inline
memory modules (SIMMs). The board has 32 SIMM sockets. There are four banks in the memory
subsystem, each banks containing eight sockets. Three SIMM sizes are supported: 4Mx36 (16 MB),
8Mx36 (32 MB), and 16Mx36 (64 MB). Systems with base memory can be expanded as follows:
u
64 MB (four 4Mx36 SIMMs) -- expanded with 4Mx36 SIMMs up to 512 MB maximum memory.
u
128 MB (four 8Mx36 SIMMs) -- expanded with 8Mx36 SIMMs up to 1 GB maximum memory.
u
256 MB (four 16Mx36 SIMMs) -- expanded with 16Mx36 SIMMs up to 2 GB maximum memory.
Bank 0 is half-populated (four SIMMs) for base memory configurations (64 MB, 128 MB, or 256
MB). The first upgrade must fill the second half of Bank 0, and subsequent upgrades must completely
fill each bank sequentially from Bank 1 to 3. All SIMMs in the memory subsystem must be the same
size.
Memory Data
Memory data is organized into words, interleaves, and rows.
u
Each SIMM generates either the low word (bits 35 to 0) or the high word (bits 71 to 36) of a
72-bit doubleword (8 bits of which are ECC bits) depending on installed location. The low word
and high word sections are split on each side of the board as shown in the following figure. The
high word is called word 1 or W1, and the low word is called word 0 or W0. Due to the design, if
a row in W0 is populated, the same row in W1 (and vice versa) must also be populated for proper
operation. The same memory density SIMM must be used in the row.
u
Rows are numbered 0 through 7. Starting at the center of the board and moving out, the first 4
SIMMs on both sides are on row 0 (rows 0 and 1 if the SIMMs are double-sided). The next four
SIMMs are on row 2 (and 3 if double-sided), and so on, through the last (outermost) four SIMMs
on each side of the board, which are on row 6 (and 7 if double-sided).
u
Within each row there are four interleaves, designated i0 through i3. Base InterServe
configurations populate i0 and i1 of Row 0/1 for two-way interleave. When upgrades are installed,
all four interleaves of the adjacent rows are populated, yielding four-way interleave for all installed
memory. The correlation between banks and rows is:
Bank 0 = Rows 0/1Bank 2 = Rows 4/5
Bank 1 = Rows 2/3Bank 3 = Rows 6/7
Rows 6/7Rows 4/5Rows 2/3
i0
i1
i2
i3
50
The following table shows the correlation between interleaves (ix), words (Wx), rows and the socket J
numbers. The ECC Monitoring Utility, used to detect and diagnose memory problems, specifies SIMM
locations by interleave and row, but does not distinguish which word the error occurred in. Refer to the
ECC Monitoring Utility help for additional information.
NOTESince ECC Memory driver does not distinguish whether an error occurred in word 0 or word 1 of a
given interleave, both words (i.e. both SIMMs) have to be changed to correct a single-bit problem. For
example, correcting single-bit errors that are occuring in interleave 0, row 0, requires replacing SIMMs
in J36 and J40.

Memory Address Map
The following table lists the memory address map assignments.
Two PCI bridge chips (Intel OPB 0 82454) provide high-bandwidth PCI compatibility for the system.
One bridge chip supports PCI bus 0 (Primary Compatibility bus), and is the path by which processors
have access to all PC compatibility devices such as the ISA bus, BIOS PROM, and graphics controller.
PCI bus 0 supports slots 1 through 3. PCI bus 1 (Primary Auxiliary bus) is also bridged directly off the
P6 bus by the second 82454 and supports PCI slots 4 through 7. For best system performance, highbandwidth devices that efficiently use PCI burst protocols to transfer data as bus masters should reside
on PCI bus 0 or 1 (slots 1 through 7).
NOTEThe remaining PCI slots (8 through 10) are supported by the DEC 21050 on the I/O expansion board.
Lithium Battery
The Lithium battery on the processor board provides power to the Real Time Clock, which the
MSMT332 board uses to display the current time on the LCD screen. As long as the system is running,
the batteries are not used to sustain the information. If the battery fails, the LCD screen will not display
the date and time.

Graphics Accelerator
The graphics accelerator (Matrox MGA-2064W) interfaces to the system board through the PCI bus.
This accelerator supports all of the standard VGA graphics modes in addition to native modes capable
of resolutions up to 1600 x 1200. The frame buffer interface is 64 bits wide and is clocked at 100
MHz. Color depths of 4, 8, 16, 24, and 32 bits are supported, allowing a resolution of 1280 x 1024 (24
bit color depth) in only 4 MB of frame buffer memory. Features such as bit block transfer (BitBlt),
Line Draws, and Fills provide hardware acceleration for Windows. Video playback is accelerated
through scaling and YUV to RGB color space conversion.
Palette DAC
The palette DAC operates up to 175 MHz and converts the digital RGB data in the frame buffer to
analog signals for the monitor. The device includes two fully programmable phase-locked loop clock
sources for both the memory clock and the pixel clock.
Window RAM
Window RAM (WRAM) is the video memory used by the MGA-2064W. The graphics frame buffer
consists of two 256K x 32 WRAM components for 2 MB of video memory. WRAM is a dual-ported
video memory specially designed to accommodate common drawing functions, offering higher graphics
performance at a lower cost than standard Video RAM.
58
Starting with 2 MB WRAM, a 2 MB or 6 MB WRAM mezzanine module can be added for improved
video performance. 8 MB of WRAM is the maximum amount configurable. Memory above 2 MB
increases the number of colors available at each resolution, enabling you to work in true color mode at
higher resolutions. Increased WRAM also improves color acceleration by providing extra caching
memory for storing off-screen fonts and images.
SCSI Controller
The SCSI controller is the Adaptec Ultra SCSI Adapter (AIC-7860), which provides a single-ended bus
for SCSI-1, Fast SCSI-2, and Ultra SCSI devices. The SCSI bus is dedicated to the hard disk drives
and CD-ROM drive. The SCSI bus actively terminates on the system board and at the end of the
internal SCSI cable. The AIC-7860 supports low-speed devices to allow legacy SCSI devices to be
used with the system. By default, the controller functions in Fast SCSI-2 mode rather than Ultra mode.
Super I/O Controller
The I/O expansion board utilizes a Standard Microsystems Corporation (SMC) Super I/O Controller
(FDC37C932) to integrate mouse, keyboard, serial, parallel (multi-mode), floppy (2.88 MB), and RealTime Clock (RTC) functions into one chip.
The FDC37C932 supports four serial ports via two external port connectors (COM 1 and COM 2).
COM1 can be configured as COM1 or COM3; COM2 can be configured as COM2 or COM4. The
serial ports use the system I/O addresses shown below.
The addresses for each serial port can be configured in AMIBIOS Setup, as described in the SystemSetup. Do not assign more than one device to the same COM port number. Serial port problems occur
because a serial port and another device are assigned to the same COM number. The system and the
connected serial device must be set to the same communications parameters (baud rate, parity, number
of data bits, and number of stop bits). Refer to the serial device documentation for information about
setting these parameters.
The parallel port functionality of the FDC37C932 include the following modes:
u
Normal mode (or Compatibility mode) - an industry-standard parallel interface mode. Normal
mode provides an asynchronous, byte-wide forward channel (host to peripheral), and is the base
mode common to all compliant interfaces.
u
SPP mode (or Byte or Bi-Dir mode) - compatible with IBM PS/2 hosts. SPP is an asynchronous,
byte-wide reverse channel (peripheral to host) mode using the eight data lines of the interface for
data, and the control/status lines for handshaking. Transfer direction is controlled by the host
when the peripheral and the host both support bi-directional use of data lines.
u
EPP mode - provides an asynchronous, byte-wide, bi-directional channel controlled by the host
device. This mode also provides separate address and data cycles over the eight data lines of the
interface. EPP increases the data transfer performance to 2 MB per second while retaining
backward compatibility with existing AT and PS/2 compatible interfaces.
u
ECP mode - similar to EPP, providing an asynchronous, byte-wide, bi-directional channel
controlled by the host device. Additionally, ECP implements a control line to distinguish between
command and data transfers. A command may optionally be used to indicate single byte data
compression or channel address. Other ECP mode features include:
−
Supports 2 MB per second data transfer rate
−
High performance, half duplex, forward and reverse channel
−
Interlocked handshake for fast, reliable data transfer
−
Channel addressing for low-cost peripherals
−
Link and data layer separation
−
Active output drivers and adaptive signal timing
−
Peer-to-peer capability
The addresses and interrupts used by the external parallel port can be assigned in AMIBIOS Setup.
Refer to the System Setup for information to configure the ports. The parallel port addresses and
interrupts are shown in the following table.

PCI-to-ISA Bridge
The Intel 82379AB System I/O-APIC (Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller) bridges the ISA
bus off the Primary Compatibility PCI bus (PCI bus 0). The 82379AB supports all four ISA expansion
slots.
PCI-to-PCI Bridge
The DEC 21050 PCI-to-PCI bridge supports the PCI bus 2 (also known as Secondary Auxiliary),
which is bridged off PCI bus 1. PCI bus 2 includes the expansion slot 8 through 12. Refer to “PCI
Bridge” on page 51 for a description of PCI bus 0 and PCI bus 1.
Lithium Battery
The Lithium battery on the I/O expansion board provides power to the CMOS chip (which stores the
BIOS and the AMIBIOS Setup program) and Real Time Clock. If the battery fails or if the voltage is
low, the message “Battery voltage low” displays during system startup, or the system date and time
information will not display. The battery on the MSMT451 board is not replaceable. If the battery
fails, the board must be replaced.
Flash EPROM (BIOS Chip)
The flash EPROM chip (MYPG833) contains the system’s Basic/Input Output System (BIOS) and the
AMIBIOS Setup program, used to modify BIOS settings. The System Setup contains information
about using AMIBIOS Setup and reprogramming the flash EPROM with a new BIOS when necessary.

Keyboard port, mouse port
The keyboard and mouse ports are PS/2 style, 6-pin ports. They are not interchangeable.
Refer to page 58 for information about the mouse and keyboard functions of the FDC37C932
controller.
The serial ports (also referred to as RS-232 asynchronous communications ports, or COM
ports) can connect modems, printers, peripherals and other computers to the system. The serial ports
(labeled 1 and 2) are 9-pin, male DB9 connectors. If connecting a serial device with a 25-pin DB25
connector, use a 25-pin to 9-pin adapter cable to mate with the serial port on the system. Only shielded
cables should be used with the serial ports. Refer to page 58 for information about the serial port
functionality of the FDC37C932.
The parallel port is used almost exclusively for printers, but is compatible with any peripheral
device designed to interface with a standard Centronics-type parallel port. The FDC37C932 includes
the system’s parallel bus controller. Only shielded cables should be used with the parallel port
(DB-25). Refer to page 58 for information about the FDC37C932 and its parallel port functionality.

LCD Board (MSMT344)
The LCD board consists of a four-line display screen, soft-touch buttons and status LEDs that allow
users to monitor system and disk section status (RAID systems only). The display screen reports
various system status and events in a software-independent manner. The 550 Watt power supplies
feature an always on +5V output. System status information is available if the system is powered off,
as long as the system is plugged in and the circuit breaker switch is in the ON position. If the system
uses the 539 Watt power supply, status information is only available when the system is powered on.
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 power supply, internal disk section,
temperature sensors, safety interlocks, and fans, and generates the appropriate alarms and alerts.
63
The LCD board is the collection point for system status information reported over the I2C serial bus.
This bus initiates at the I
2
C chip on the I/O expansion board. An 80C51-derivative microcontroller on
the LCD monitors the status of various system components and displays the status to the LCD screen.
Refer to the System Setup, delivered with the system, for a detailed description of the status items
detected by the microcontroller and the menus available on the LCD screen. The microcontroller
contains the password code for intruder alert. By default, the password is null, it has not been set. Use
the fail-safe password, 44234423, in case the user password is forgotten.
NOTEIf 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. Holding the keyswitch in the reset (//) position
for at least four seconds will bypass the microcontroller and directly turn on the power supplies. 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.
The following diagram shows the AC wiring for systems with dual 550 Watt power supplies. Systems
with single 539 Watt power supply do not use this wiring.

Channel Module
The disk section uses the dual-channel module (MSMT456) to enable two channels for the disk section.
This module is used in all systems, RAID and non-RAID.
SAF-TE Card
The SAF-TE card (MSMT460) is the primary component that makes the disk section a RAID-capable
subsystem. This card is only installed in systems that include the AMI RAID controller (MSMT489).
If the UW SCSI controller (CINFD80) is used, then the card is not present. Non-RAID system can be
upgraded to RAID by swapping the UW SCSI controller and adding the SAF-TE card. Refer to
Chapter 3, “Upgrading the System” for details.
Jumper Settings
The disk section backplane has two jumper headers, spin-up delay (JP2) and SCSI ID (JP3), that are
used with the Ultra Wide SCSI controller in non-RAID systems. Non-RAID systems must have the
delay and SCSI ID jumpers installed.
NOTERAID 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.
Spin-up Delay
The jumpers on JP2 (4 position, dual-row header) are used to set the delay time between drive power
on and spin up. This ensures all the drives power on properly. If all the drives power on
simultaneously, failures could occur. The following table shows he jumper settings which define the
spin-up delays.

SCSI ID
The jumpers on JP3 (eight-position, dual-row header) are used to set the SCSI IDs for all of the disk
drive slots in a non-RAID system. The following table shows the correlation between the JP3 pins and
the disk drive slots.

Power Supplies
Two power supply options are available, as follows:
u
Single 539 Watt power supply (MPWS131)
u
Dual 550 Watt power supplies (MPWS139)
539 Watt Power Supply (MPWS131)
MPWS131 is a 539 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 two fans to provide additional airflow through the
system. Refer to “Cooling Fans and Temperature Sensors” later in this chapter for more information.
DC Output Specifications
The following table details the DC output specifications for the power supply.
The system is equipped with two 550 Watt power supplies (MPWS139). These are hot-swappable and
offer 1+1 redundancy. Each power supply has six outputs and is autoranging between 90-132 VAC
and 180-264 VAC. The input frequency range for each power supply is 47-63 Hz, single phase.
DC Output Specifications
The power supply has the following DC output specifications.
Nominal Output Voltages
1, 3
Continuous Load (Maximum.)
Continuous Load (Minimum.)
Noise and Ripple (PARD)
(DC to 30 MHz)
Initial Setting Tolerance

Overshoot (Turn on/off)
The footnotes in the previous table are defined as follows.
1. The power supply meets or exceeds these specifications.
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
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 +5.1 VDC outputs. The Over-Current
Protection disables the DC outputs (except the +5.0 V) and keeps them disabled until AC is
cycled.
u
Over-Voltage Protection is provided on +3.3 VDC and +5.1 VDC. The Over-Voltage Protection
disables the DC outputs (except the +5.0 V) when the output reaches 5.5-6.8 VDC for +5.1 V DC
or 3.7-4.4 VDC for +3.3 VDC. The DC outputs remain disabled until AC is cycled.
u
Once the +5.1 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, +5.1 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.
77
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.
Connector Pinout
The power supply has two connectors that attach to J18 and J19 on the power distribution board. Both
connectors have the same pinout, as follows.

NOTEThe 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 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.
NOTEThe 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 three main fans (MCBL207A) to provide air flow through the middle and upper areas
of the system. The power supplies (MPWS131 and MPWS139) each contain two fans that provide
airflow for the lower area of the system. These 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.
The fans for the 539 Watt power supply are separate from the power supply; their part number is
MCBL243A.
Four temperature sensors are located in strategic locations to report internal temperatures to the system
monitor. The following table shows the sensor locations and the temperatures at which the system
monitor firmware reports warm and hot. Additional information about the LCD screen is in the SystemSetup.
