System Introduction
1.1 Features
This powerful 64-bit dual-processor system is loaded with a host of new and innovative features. It offers a new standard for flexible productivity ideal for local area networks and multiuser server environments.
1.1.1 Intel Pentium Pro Microprocessor
The Intel Pentium Pro CPU is the heart of the system. Designed to work with the Orion chipset composed of a PCI bridge and memory controller, the Pentium Pro running at up to 200 MHz carries a new generation of power not present in its predecessors.
The system board has two CPU sockets to accommodate up to two Intel Pentium Pro CPUs for a dual-processor configuration. This configuration doubles efficiency and reliability thereby upgrading overall system performance. The Pentium Pro supports a wide range of applications running under operating systems such as DOS, Windows, WindowsNT, OS/2, UNIX, and NetWare.
The CPU also incorporates the first-level (L1) and second-level (L2) caches, the advanced peripheral interrupt controller (APIC), and the system bus controller. Figure 1-1 shows the CPU architecture.
System Introduction 1-1
First-level and Second-level Cache
The Pentium Pro has a 16-KB first-level and 256/512-KB second-level cache. These caches produce a high hit rate that reduces the processor’s external memory bandwidth requirements.
Advanced Peripheral Interrupt Controller (APIC)
The APIC unit inside the CPU along with the I/O APIC unit facilitate multiprocessor interrupt management. The APIC works with multiple I/O subsystems where each subsystem have its own interrupts that help minimize centralized system overhead.
Bus Controller
The bus controller integrated in the Pentium Pro CPU controls the system bus to make it perform its functions efficiently. It ensures that the bus serves as a reliable interconnection between one or two CPUs, I/O bridge, and memory controllers.
Pentium Pro CPU Architecture
Figure 1-1 Pentium Pro CPU Architecture
1-2 System Guide
1.1.2 System Architecture
The system bus, PCI buses, EISA bus, Orion PCI bridge (OPB), Orion memory controller (OMC), PCI/EISA Bridge (PCEB), and EISA system controller (ESC) comprise the basic system architecture.
Figure 1-2 System Architecture
System Introduction 1-3
System Bus
The system bus is the CPU’s major connection to all the system devices, primarily the PCI and EISA bridges, and the memory controllers. It can handle as many as eight outstanding transactions at a time through the transaction pipelining feature in which consecutive tasks from the CPU are queued in and transported to the designated devices on a first-in first-out basis. Pipelining allows for transaction overlapping in different phases as the CPU does not have to wait for each transaction to complete before it issues the next transaction. This produces significant improvement on overall system performance.
The bus architecture supports a number of features that ensure high reliability. It has an 8-bit error correction code (ECC) that protects the data lines and a 2-bit parity code that protects the address lines.
The bus uses the gunning transceiver logic (GTL+), a synchronous latched bus protocol that simplifies timing constraints. This protocol supports higher frequency system designs but requires a low voltage that reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) resulting to a lower power consumption.
PCI and EISA Buses
The system supports two PCI buses created by the two PCI bridge chipsets (OPB). The PCI buses serve as the links between the PCI bridges and the PCI devices onboard.
The EISA bus connects the EISA devices to the other system devices through the PCI/EISA bridge (PCEB) and the EISA system controller (ESC). The use of the PCEB and ESC maintains compatibility with the EISA environment.
1-4 System Guide
Orion PCI Bridge
The Orion PCI bridge (OPB) is a low-cost I/O subsystem solution for high-performance systems. The OPB translates transactions between the system bus and the PCI buses using 32-byte buffers for inbound and outbound postings. The use of two OPBs in the system creates an architecture that allows faster data transfers.
Orion Memory Controller
The Orion memory controller (OMC) acts as an interface between the system bus and the system memory. It consists of the DRAM control (DC) chip and the data path (DP) chip. The OMC relates to the DRAM array through four memory interface controller (MIC) chips. The OMC supports 256-bit 4-way memory interleaving resulting to a more efficient memory traffic management.
1.1.3 SCSI Disk Array
The system supports an array of eight hot-swappable disk drive trays through an 8-slot SCSI backplane board. The trays accommodate wide and narrow SCSI hard disks. With the AIC-7880 SCSI controller onboard, the transfer rate reaches up to 40 MB per second for ultra SCSI and 20 MB per second for wide SCSI.
System Introduction 1-5
1.2 External Configuration
1.2.1 Front Panel
The system front panel is divided into two sections. The upper front panel consists of the diskette/CD-ROM/tape drive bays, power switch, LED indicators, and an embedded reset switch.
The lower part contains the externally accessible hard disk drive bays with eight drive trays for narrow or wide SCSI disk drives. (The basic system may only have a 3.5-inch diskette drive and a CD-ROM drive and no SCSI hard disks installed.)
