10. Restart the system. The new memory is recognized automatically.
A dding Processors to MSMT353 or MSMT359
You cannot add processors to the MSMT353 system board, since it ships with quad processors. The
MSMT359 system board allows you to upgrade a single processor to dual processors and dual
processors to quad processors. For the MSMT378 system board, you can upgrade a single processor
to dual processors and Pentium Pro to Pentium II.
Single to Dual Upgrade
Single to dual processor upgrade kits include a CPU with attached heat sink, a voltage regulator
module (VRM), and a metal clip.
To upgrade a single processor system:
1. Open the base unit and remove the necessary parts as described in Chapter 1.
NOTEIf full-length ISA option boards are installed, they must be removed to access the CPU sockets.
2. Find the empty processor socket (adjacent to the existing CPU) on the system board. Raise the
lever on the empty socket to open the socket.
3. Install the new CPU into the socket. The CPU socket is keyed to ensure proper insertion.
4. Lower the lever to lock the CPU in the socket.

Adding Processors to MSMT378
The MSMT378 system board allows you to upgrade the system from single to dual processors, and
from Pentium Pro processors to Pentium II processors.
Single to Dual Upgrade
To install a new processor module:
1. Open the base unit and remove the ISA cards.
2. Set the frequency, if necessary, for the new processor by adjusting jumpers J47 through J50.
Refer to Chapter 6, “System Board MSMT378,” for more information.
3. Align the new processor module over the S1 slot and firmly press it down into the slot.
4. If necessary, replace the top section of the heat sink support. Gently push the plastic support bar
toward the four posts on the heat sink support assembly, until the bar snaps into place.
5. Reinstall the ISA cards and close the base unit.
Pentium Pro to Pentium II Upgrade
The Pentium Pro and Pentium II processors for the MSMT378 system board are housed in plastic
processor modules, which have heat sinks attached to one side. When a Pentium II module is
installed into an S1 slot, the heat sinks are supported at the bottom by a black plastic bar, which runs
between the two bottom-most rows of heat sink fins. The support bar is connected to a support
assembly via four posts.
WARNING Setting processor voltage incorrectly may destroy the processor! Refer to Chapter 6, “System
Board MSMT378,” for details.
To upgrade Pentium Pro module with Pentium II module:
1. Open the base unit and remove ISA cards if installed.
2. Remove the top section of the heat sink support, if necessary. The plastic support bar has a tab
on each end. Press both tabs inward, towards each other, while using a pulling motion to pull the
bar away from the heat sink fins. The support assembly is permanently connected to the system
board, and need not be removed.
3. Remove the Pentium Pro processor module. Grasp both tabs on the top corners of the processor
module and press them inward, towards each other. Then pull the entire module upward,
keeping the tabs pressed inward. Heat sinks are permanently connected to the module, and need
not be removed.
4. Remove the voltage jumper from J19, and place it on jumper J39. Refer to the following figure.
Also refer to Chapter 6, “System Board MSMT378,” for details on jumper settings.

Adding Option Boards
Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI), non-compliant PCI, Industry Standard Architecture (ISA),
and Plug-n-Play (PnP) option boards may be installed in the system. A general description of the
types of boards is provided below.
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,
2.1. 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.
NOTEAll PCI option boards sold by Intergraph fully comply with the
Specification, 2.1.
u
Non-compliant PCI boards mechanically comply with the Peripheral Component Interconnect
Peripheral Component Interconnect
Specification 2.1, 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 the System Configuration Utility (SCU) 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 SCU 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 the section, “Assigning System Resources” later in this
chapter.
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.
PCI slots are on Side One of the riser card; ISA slots are on Side Two.
NOTEAssign system resources for ISA and non-compliant PCI boards before installation. Refer to the
section, “Assigning System Resources” later in this chapter.
Installing an Option Board
To install option boards:
1. Open the base unit as described in Chapter 1. If installing an ISA card, the internal disk drive
bay must be removed to access ISA slots. Refer to “Internal Bay Disk Drives” in Chapter 2 for
instructions on removing the internal disk drive bay.
2. Using a quarter-inch nutdriver, remove the blanking plate from an available slot. If installing a
PCI card, loosen the two screws securing the board clip to the PCI card guide (just behind the
power supply), and slide the board clip forward.
3. Install the option board. Press firmly to ensure the board seats completely into the slot.
4. Secure the board to the chassis using the screw removed previously. If installing a PCI card,
slide the board clip back and tighten the two screws.
5. Connect any cables to the board as required by the manufacturer.
6. Close the base unit and restart the system.
NOTEFor 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 PnP Setup menu. Exit AMIBIOS Setup and restart the system.
Assigning System Resources
Some option boards include a configuration diskette that you can use to reserve the system resources
required for the board. Other option boards do not include a diskette, but require that you manually
enter the configuration information. The next two sections describe how to reserve the resources for
both types.
The System Configuration Utility (SCU) is an MS-DOS utility that will not run in the Windows NT
environment. Use the System Utilities (SYSUTIL) diskette delivered with your system to boot the
system into MS-DOS. The system must be set to boot from the floppy disk drive (normally drive A)
to use the SCU. If necessary, refer to “Changing the System Boot Sequence” in the System Setup.
NOTEFor a list of available system address resources (DMA, I/O, memory) refer to Chapter 5 or 6.
NOTETreat non-compliant PCI boards and PC Cards as ISA boards for assigning system resources.
Option Boards with a Configuration File
29
Some ISA boards are shipped with a diskette containing a configuration file. The configuration file
can be loaded to the system so that the BIOS reads this file to assign resources during startup. If you
install ISA boards that are shipped with a configuration diskette, follow this procedure.
NOTEIf a configuration diskette is not delivered with the option board, refer to “Option Boards without a
Configuration File.”
To configure option boards with a configuration file:
1. Shut down and power off the system.
2. Insert the SYSUTIL diskette into the floppy diskette slot of the combo drive; then restart the
system.
3. When the MS-DOS Startup menu displays, select option 1 to run the SCU.
4. Use the arrow keys or the mouse to select Step 2 from the SCU Main Menu. Then press

Adding Internal SCSI Drives
The front of the system allows four 5.25-inch drives to be installed—two drives in the horizontal bay
and two in the vertical bay. There is also an internal bay that accepts two 3.5-inch drives.
u
In StudioZ RenderRAX workstations and InterServe 615R and 625R servers, one disk drive is
installed in the left slot of the vertical bay. A CD-ROM is installed in the lower slot of the
horizontal bay. The two internal drive bays are empty. The disk drive uses SCSI ID 0 and the
CD-ROM drive uses SCSI ID 4.
u
In the TDZ-425 RAX and TDZ-612 RAX, one removable disk drive module is installed in the
left vertical bay. A CD-ROM drive is installed in the lower horizontal bay. The two internal
drive bays are empty. The disk drive uses SCSI ID 0, the SCSI CD-ROM drive in the TDZ-612
RAX drive uses ID 4, and the EIDE CD-ROM in the TDZ-425 RAX uses the primary EIDE bus
and the mode select header is set to “Master.”
The Adaptec AIC-7880 controller on the riser card provides Ultra Wide SCSI for internal drives in all
rack-mounted systems.
When installing a SCSI drive, have the vendor’s documentation available to follow instructions for
setting SCSI IDs for SCSI drives, installing device drivers when required, and configuring other drive
attributes necessary for operation.
If installing a drive that connects to an adapter card (such as an EIDE drive), refer to the vendor’s
documentation for installing the adapter card and required cables. The previous section, “Adding
Option Boards,” provides information about PCI and ISA slot locations in the system.
If installing a Kingston removable disk drive module, refer to the vendor’s documentation for
installing the module, removing terminators, and setting the SCSI ID.
If installing a Fast SCSI (Narrow) drive, use the 68 pin to 50 pin adapter (CCON401B), provided
with the system. If you install a non-Wide SCSI device, the data transfer rate is limited to that
device's speed.
Refer to Chapter 9, “Peripherals,” for details on drive configurations, jumpers, and cables.
NOTEInternal SCSI drives are not terminated. The internal SCSI cable provides termination. You must
remove termination from any drive that you install in the system.
32
SCSI IDs should be set for the drives using the following guidelines:
Slot Location
Left VerticalSystem disk drive0
Right VerticalAdd-on disk drive1
Left InternalAdd-on disk drive2

Adding External SCSI Drives
You can add single-ended external SCSI drives 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 drives as well. The section “Adding Option Boards” earlier in this chapter describes
installing new boards.
The Adaptec AIC-7860 SCSI controller (on MSMT353, MSMT359 and MSMT378 system boards)
provides the Ultra SCSI bus for external devices.
Screws (Two
each side)
SCSI Cable Guidelines
If you are using a SCSI adapter card, this information also applies.
The number of drives and length of the cables used to connect the drives becomes a factor when using
SCSI-1, Fast SCSI (SCSI-2), Ultra SCSI, and Ultra Wide SCSI drives. Fast SCSI, Ultra SCSI, and
Ultra Wide SCSI impose shorter cable restrictions than SCSI-1. The total length of the SCSI cabling
must not exceed the following:
NOTEThe SCSI controller (on the system board or an adapter card) counts as one device.
The total length of the SCSI cabling is the sum of the following:
u
SCSI cable inside the base unit - 6.0 inches (15 cm)
u
SCSI cable inside each device - average 8 inches, (20 cm)
u
SCSI cable between the base unit and the first device
u
SCSI cable between each device
Connecting the Drive
To add an external SCSI drive:
1. Connect the SCSI cable to the SCSI port on the base unit and to the device.
2. Set the drives SCSI ID to an unused number (1, 2, 3, 5, or 6). By default, the following devices
use these SCSI IDs:
−
System disk drive uses ID 0.
−
CD-ROM drive uses ID 4.
−
SCSI bus uses ID 7.
3. Disable or enable the drive’s SCSI termination according to the vendor’s instructions. The last
external drive on the SCSI cable chain must have SCSI termination enabled. All other external
drives must have SCSI termination disabled.
4. If necessary, install the software drivers and configure the drive according to the vendor’s
instructions.
Disabling Sync Negotiation
Use the following instructions if you need to disable the sync negotiation, which forces the controller
to transfer data at a specified rate (slower than its capability) for the target drives.
To disable sync negotiation:
1. Power off the system and reboot into DOS using the SYSUTIL diskette.
2. From the SYSUTIL main menu, select SCSISelect Utility.
3. From the Options box, select Configure/View Host Adapter Settings.
36
4. Select the SCSI Device Configuration option.
5. Change the Initiate Sync Negotiation values for all the attached SCSI drives
(represented by their SCSI ID number) to no.
6. Set the Maximum Sync Transfer Rate values for the drives to the desired settings. If
changing these settings to extend cable lengths or add more devices, set Fast SCSI-2 drives to
8.0. (or less if available).
7. Press
ESC until the Exit Utility dialog displays. Select Yes and press ENTER.
8. Press any key to restart the system.

The Vibra 16C sound controller is configured entirely through I/O port accesses. When the system is
powered up, the hardware forces the Vibra 16C to respond to default I/O port addresses, interrupt
request (IRQ) level, and direct memory access (DMA) request and acknowledge. The following table
shows the default sound controller configurations and available programmable settings.
The settings above may be changed in AMIBIOS Setup (see “Chipset Setup” in the Setup and
Maintenance Guide, delivered with the system) so the Vibra 16C internal registers respond to custom

PCI to ISA Bus Interrupt Mapping
The ISA bridge (Intel 82379AB) or MSMT359 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.
The 8-bit PIRQ Route Control Registers in the ISA bridge determine to which ISA interrupt a PIRQ
or MSMT359 is routed. Four PIRQ Route Control Registers are used for the PCI interrupts, located
at the ISA bridge address offsets defined below.

Bit 7 of each PIRQ registers enable (Low) or disable (High) 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 will be routed, as defined below.
The table below lists the configuration space used for the primary PCI bus. The PCI bus uses type 1
configuration access, which specifies two 32-bit I/O ports used as the index register (0CF8h) and the
data register (0CFCh).
Each PCI slot on the riser card has four available or MSMT359 interrupt lines: INTA, INTB, INTC,
and INTD. These are connected to the PCI interrupts, PIRQ0 through PIRQ3, as shown below:
The ISA slots on the riser card MSMT463 accommodate ISA based option boards and a 16-bit wide
expansion bus. The ISA bus or MSMT359 interrupt (IRQ) assignments are defined below.

The spare interrupts listed above may be assigned to PCI and ISA devices. When you add a PCI
device to the system, the interrupt will be automatically assigned by the system BIOS. However, at
least one interrupt must be available for the PCI bus. For increased performance, one interrupt should
be left available for each PCI based controller used in the system. When you add a ISA board, you
must assign the interrupt using the System Configuration Utility and jumpers on the option board.
