TARGA 3000 Configuration Cookbook

1 General Information

1.1 Introduction

There are a lot of talented computer techies in the non-linear editing industry, and for them, Jacques Pepin (popular chef extraordinaire) summed it up nicely: "For people like us who love to cook, it is easier, more fun, more exciting, and more rewarding to cook without any recipes." We hope they never waver their quest for the perfect NLE, and we actually stand to learn quite a lot from them. However, for those who would rather cook by the book, this "cookbook" provides information which will help the computer technician understand how to tailor a system around the TARGA 3000 family of products. For those who would rather edit than cook computers, Pinnacle Systems Certified or Recommended Workstations are listed here.

The individual using this document must be technically capable to understand and interpret this information. Neither this document nor Pinnacle Systems Technical Support will educate the computing novice or casual integrator about the details needed to construct a reliable, high performance editing workstation. Experience has proved that a better use of time and money is to rely on a Pinnacle Systems Authorized VAR (Value Added Reseller) to configure and support a fully integrated TARGA 3000 editing workstation. For a list of Authorized VARS, visit Pinnacle System's website at www.pinnaclesys.com.

This is a working document, periodically updated as new information or knowledge is acquired. Regardless of the advice given here, Pinnacle Systems does not warrant or guarantee the performance of the systems or components recommended.

1.2 Related Documents

Specifics of TARGA 3000 installation can be found in the TARGA 3000 installation guide that comes with the product. Usage is covered in the TARGA 3000 User Guide.

There is a troubleshooting guide and frequently asked questions page on the TARGA 3000 support site. Please consult these to avoid common problems.

TARGA 3000 Configuration Cookbook

2 Certified Workstations and Motherboards

2.1 What Does Certified Mean?

A computer workstation or peripheral that has been certified by Pinnacle Systems means that the certified equipment meets or exceeds our requirements for a particular product, and that the same model(s) from this manufacturer will perform at a predictable level of compliance. Certified status also means that the workstation or equipment vendor will continue to work with Pinnacle Systems to resolve issues that may arise from the recommendations of this or other Pinnacle support documents. Please note that we cannot guarantee performance or compatibility with systems that are configured outside of our recommendations.

2.2 System Requirements

All TARGA 3000 workstations need the following components. This is a minimum requirements list for reference purposes only, the actual end-product should be customized to the format you will be working with (i.e. uncompressed YUV, MPEG2, or DV). Consult the following section "Choosing the Right Ingredients" for more specific requirements:

- PC Workstation based on i440BX,i815, i840 or Serverworks chipsets

- 256 MB / 512MB RAM (SDRAM or RIMM)

- Ultra3 (160m) SCSI Controller for AV drives or array

- AV Capable Drives or Arrays. 2 striped drives are required for MPEG2/DV, 4 for dual stream uncompressed, 8 for 3 stream

- Certified Graphics Adapter

- 9 GB or Larger System Disk (EIDE or SCSI)

- Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 Workstation (NT Server not recommended) with Service Pack 5, Windows 2000 Service Pack 2, WindowsXP Professional

-Direct X 8.0a (You can obtain this version of DirectX at

http://www.microsoft.com/directx/homeuser/downloads/default.asp

- Supported Editing Application (i.e. Adobe Premiere, in-sync Speed Razor, discreet edit 6.5)

2.3 Choosing the Right Ingredients

The TARGA 3000 Family of software and hardware is scaleable, meaning that better performance will be realized with faster systems. System requirements will vary, depending on the format being used. For example, if DV25 is used for acquisition and editing, the requirements are not as high as YUV. The following codec choices will help define the "strength" of the system needed:

DV25. This is an "industrial" quality (4:1:1 / 4:2:0) codec. It is conservative on disk usage (12 GB/hour), data rates up to 3.6 MBps per stream and has less chroma bandwidth than the other codecs. If planning on effects work, consider one of the higher-quality codecs.

MPEG2. This is the closest equivalent to the MJPEG format that users are accustomed to in other highperformance editing systems. Disk usage at the highest quality setting is 24 GB/hour. The data rate can be set between 10 Mbits/sec (1.2 MBps., offline quality) and 50 Mbits/sec (6.25 MBps., online quality) per stream. The MPEG2 codec in TARGA 3000 is I-frame only, and can be edited with frame accuracy. If image quality and disk usage are important, MPEG2 is recommended.

11/25/2002

TARGA 3000 Configuration Cookbook

YUV. This is uncompressed D1(4:2:2) quality. Disk usage is high, about 72 GB/hour, and the data rate is about 20 MBps per stream. Recommended for high quality or multi-layer work and compositing.

RGBA. This is uncompressed D1(4:4:4:4) quality with no sacrifice in chroma bandwidth. Disk usage is about 144 GB/hour, or data rate of 40 MBps per stream. This is only useful if clips are imported directly into Adobe After Effects or other compositing desktop applications that work with this format.

3 System Considerations

3.1 Which PCI Chipset is Best?

The i840 is the recommended chipset for high performance TARGA 3000 systems since it offers full support for 64 bit PCI. In addition the ServerWorks chipsets have been certified, although they have the disadvantage that only PCI graphics cards can be used with this chipset. There are problems performing DMA transfers to AGP with the ServerWorks chipset, and so overlay cannot work in such configurations. In addition the Intel 440BX, 850, 845 and i815 chipsets have been certified. These do not offer the same performance as the 64 bit i840 (no more than 2 streams of uncompressed can be played), but are much better value. More recently we have also certified the AMD-760MP chipset for use with the Athlon processors. It is wise to follow the instructions in this cookbook to ensure that you will get the best performance and compatibility out of your system.

3.2 What BIOS Will Work?

No known issues exist with the major BIOS vendors (American Megatrends or AMI), Phoenix, or Award at this time. The BIOS is responsible for configuring the resources used by components in a system. After a system boots, BIOS hands over a list of detected devices and I/O addresses to the Windows NT HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer). From here, Windows NT manages the allocation of system resources to all supported devices. BIOSes are revised routinely by motherboard manufacturers, and can affect a system configuration.

3.3 TARGA 3000, IRQs & DMA

The TARGA 3000 uses DMA (Direct Memory Access) channels to quickly transfer large amounts of data to system memory and back, not IRQ (Interrupt Request). DMA transfers are more efficient than IRQ channel requests, as they are not "interrupted" by time-share requests used by IRQ cycles. When a device requires service from the processor, it flags the system by asserting a hardware interrupt request (IRQ) . Interrupt requests have higher priority than normal operating code, so the processor has to stop what it was executing and service the request before resuming.

That said, IRQ allocation at the BIOS level must still be managed. (Pinnacle's certification reports for both systems and motherboards will show the preferred PCI slot and associated IRQ positions for typical TARGA installations.) For instance, if two devices (such as network adapters or SCSI controllers and TARGA) are assigned the same IRQ at the BIOS level, BIOS will happily report to NT's HAL that both devices can share the same IRQ space. HAL may then continue the shared relationship, and performance may degrade for one or both devices when both are used at peak levels. A quick check in NT's Diagnostics Resources applet is a good place to start.

All interrupts have a priority:

(Highest Priority) NMI, IRQ 0, 1, 2, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 (Lowest Priority)

Most of the interrupts are pre-assigned, leaving only three or four available for TARGA, SCSI controller(s), sound cards and network adapters. BIOS usually shows IRQ 9, 10, and 11 available and possibly IRQ 5 and 15 to assign to any additional device. This is how IRQs are typically assigned:

NMI - Non-maskable interrupt used to signal serious failures. IRQ 0 - System Timer IRQ 08 - Real-time Clock IRQ 1 - Keyboard IRQ 09 - Available IRQ 2 - Cascade Interrupt IRQ 10 - Available

11/25/2002

TARGA 3000 Configuration Cookbook

IRQ 3 - COM2 IRQ 11 - Available IRQ 4 - COM1 IRQ 12 - Bus Mouse IRQ 5 - Available or LPT2 IRQ 13 - FPU IRQ 6 - Floppy Drive IRQ 14 - Primary IDE Interface IRQ 7 - LPT1 IRQ 15 - Secondary IDE Interface

BIOS Tip: TARGA must not share an interrupt assignment with another device in the system, and TARGA should be assigned an interrupt of 9, 10 or 11.

3.4 How Much RAM is Necessary?

TARGA 3000 will barely function with a minimum 128MB of system memory but performance increases dramatically when more RAM is added. 256MB of RAM is recommended (and 512MB will boost performance further). Under Targa 3000 version 1.5 software, in order to take advantage of the new features, we strongly recommend 512MB of memory or higher. TARGA is competing with the operating system and any other applications that may be running in the background. Whenever an application is launched (i.e. TitleDeko) physical RAM must be allocated to the new process. When the physical RAM amount is exceeded, the operating system must page out portions of the existing physical RAM to a page or swap file on the hard drive. Since a hard drive is much slower than memory the paging process slows down system performance.

3.5 Overclocking

Increasing the bus speed of the motherboard is not supported. The common practice of increasing the multiplier of bus speed frequency has been shown to lower the overall reliability and predictability of most systems, and therefore is not recommended on a TARGA 3000 workstation

3.6 Operating System

TARGA 3000 v 1.0 / 1.0.1 / 1.0.2 requires Windows NT 4.0 Workstation (build 1381, Service Pack 5 or above). TARGA 3000 v 1.1/1.5/1.5.1 supports Windows 2000 in addition to Windows NT 4.0

As of 11/11/02, Windows XP Professional is supported only in certain configurations using the latest TARGA 3K v1.5.1 drivers. T3K v1.5.1 does not support the Windows XP Home version.

Use Windows NT Service Pack 5/ Windows 2000 SP 2 or newer for TARGA 3000. If issues arise because of a service pack update, we will issue a public statement via our web site at www.pinnaclesys.com.

3.7 Processors

The TARGA 3000 has been certified with the following processors :

- PIII 500 MHz and higher

- PIII Xeon 500MHz and higher

- P4 1Ghz and higher

- P4 Xeon 1.8GHz and Higher [Systems like the Compaq EVO W8000 uses Xeon processors)

- AMD Athlon, Athlon XP, Athlon MP 1.0GHz and higher Dual processor workstations are highly recommended if TitleDeko titles, multiple audio and graphics layers will be used. By design Windows NT, 2000 and XP supports a symmetrical multiprocessing (SMP) environment. Adobe Premiere can also take advantage of SMP for specific functions. TARGA 3000 takes advantage of multithreading but does not benefit from SMP environments.

11/25/2002

TARGA 3000 Configuration Cookbook

TARGA 3000 is fully compatible with Intel processors that employ SIMD technology. However, TARGA 3000 does not currently take advantage of the SIMD instruction set.

AMD Athlon processors : These processors are fully x86 compliant so they should present no compatibility problems to TARGA 3000.

Xeon Processors : This enhanced version of the Pentium II and III series allows faster L2 cache performance, as it operates at the same speed (measured in MHz) as the core processor. The cache on a regular Pentium II or III operates at half the core speed. Though this sounds exciting, tests in the trade publications have not shown substantial increase of performance in non-linear editing systems.

3.8 Virtual Memory

Virtual memory should be fixed in size and should neither be smaller nor more than 25MB larger than the physical memory in the machine. Furthermore the virtual memory should be set up on a partition other than the operating system and applications (pagefile.sys). This prevents excessive fragmentation of the disk which impacts performance. Virtual memory should not be put on the video drive for the same reason. Ideally, it should have its own partition on the system drive and the system drive should be chosen to be fast.

3.9 TSRs

Software such as Scheduler, Task Reminder, Microsoft Outlook, Real Player and Screen Savers can interrupt a T3K session causing drop frames and other performance problems. All TSRs should be disabled and the workstation should ideally be disconnected from the network during an edit session.

3.10 Bus Mastering

Make sure that Bus Mastering is enabled in the BIOS for all PCI slots. This is a requirement.

3.11 Slot Assignments

Slot assignments in this document are extremely important to follow. The Pinnacle Hardware Certification team tests all slots and decides on the best option for your card configuration. Typically, this document describes and counts the slot order by starting with the AGP slot (closest to the PC fan), and counting upwards from lowest to highest (ex. AGP, slot 1, slot 2, slot 3, slot 4, slot 5, slot 6). While each workstation varies in the number of slots as well as the actual speed of the slots, below is a typical description we will use the following diagram on the next page as an example for this document:

3.16 Compaq SP750 Professional Workstation

Compaq Product Information

Compaq's top workstation, based on dual Pentium Xeon and i840 chipset (64-bit PCI) technology

Tested Configuration

- BIOS version 02.13

- Two Pentium III Xeon 866MHz "Coppermine" 133 MHz FSB

- 512 MB RDRAM 133 MHz

- Matrox Millenium G400 Single and Dual Head 32MB display adapter + [also tested with 3DLabs Oxygen GVX1 display adapter] + Adaptec 29160 or 39160 SCSI host adapter BIOS v2.55.0 + 7 Quantum Atlas 10K 9WLS Ultra160m 9 GB

Performance Rating

3 streams YUV uncompressed

Slot Positions

AGP: Matrox G400 or 3DLabs GVX1 PCI 1: empty PCI 2: empty PCI 3: empty PCI 4: empty PCI 64 1: TARGA 3000 PCI 64 2: SCSI host adapter

Technical Advisories

1. Apply system BIOS version 02.13. TARGA will not operate correctly without this version.

2. Disable Power Management in BIOS.

3. PCILOCK Boot Option

4. For optimal performance, connect the external AV disk array to an additional Adaptec 29160 or 39160 Ultra160m SCSI host adapter installed in PCI 64 slot 2, with TARGA 3000 in PCI 64 slot 1. Compaq's onboard Ultra160m SCSI controller may be used for the AV disk array, but TARGA must then be installed in a 32-bit PCI slot (slots 1-4), and doing so will decrease TARGA's overall playback performance to the next lowest level

11/25/2002

The TARGA will not operate properly if installed in a 64-bit PCI slot (PCI 64 slots 1 or 2) in combination with an AV array connected via Compaq's onboard Ultra160m SCSI controller. These two devices are on different 64-bit PCI busses, and may not allow maximum datarate transfers.

Disable BIOS on the SCSI adapter to allow the SP750 to start properly. The desired setting would disable BIOS, but retain the scan-on-boot function. Consult the adapter's documentation for instructions.

Technical Advisories

1. PCILOCK Boot Option

2. Installation notes - If the NIC is installed and configured prior to TARGA3K installation, the TARGA3K installation will cause the BIOS to remap the NIC to a different PCI bus. This remapping causes the NIC driver to fail since it can no longer find the adapter at the PCI address it expects. Reinstallation of the NIC driver software will resolve this remapping issue.

The internal AIC-7899 dual channel ultra160 SCSI3 controller was not used for video-data storage in this testing due to it being attached to the 32-bit PCI bus.

With the TARGA3000 in a 64-bit PCI slot, the available video-data bandwidth would be severely limited by this data having to go through a PCI bridge before reaching the ultra160 SCSI3 controller on the 32-bit PCI bus.

In order to pass the 90-minute Adobe Premiere playback portion of the certification process without any dropped frames, the following services should be disabled in the "Services" control panel:

1. Altiris Client Service

2. Compaq DMI Web Alerter

3. Compaq Local Alerter

5. Insight Manager LC Remote Management

With these services enabled, Our 90-minute playback test was consistently dropping 4 - 7 frames.

Technical Advisories

1. PCILOCK Boot Option

Specifications and Features

The SUPER P6DBE, running at a bus speed of 100 MHz, supports dual Pentium III/II 233 ~ 700 MHz processors. The P6DBE is based on Intel's 440BX chipset, which enables AGP, 100 MHz SDRAM, concurrent PCI, Ultra DMA with a 33 MB/s burst data transfer rate and Wake-on-Lan.

The SUPER P6DBE (board rev 2.x, 3.x) comes with 5 PCI and 2 ISA slots and an AGP connector. AGP reduces contention between the CPU and I/O devices by broadening the bandwidth of graphics to memory. It delivers a maximum 532 MB/s 2x transfer mode, which is quadruple the PCI speed.

Technical Advisories

1. Consult Certified Memory Vendors memory chips that have passed Tyan Engineering tests. Note: Silicon Tech memory can be obtained by contacting Simple Technology, Inc.

2. DMA between PCI and AGP is unresolved on this board. A PCI graphics adapter is required.

3. Install both SCSI host adapter and TARGA in either +3.3V or +5.0V slots. Operating across these two busses will severely impact performance. PCI slots 1,2,3 and 6 are 64-bit 5.0V 33MHz slots. Slots 4 and 5 are 64-bit 3.3V 66MHz PCI slots.

mouse ports, Audio ports (line-in, line-out, microphone-in), Four Universal Serial Bus (USB) ports

network interface - CNR slot for add-in NIC additional integrated peripherals – Dual channel UltraDMA , on-board audio (AC'97 2.1 compliant link for audio and telephony CODECs) BIOS settings – Change default BIOS option for Primary Video Device to “External AGP”. Change Internal

Graphics Mode Select to “Disable”. installation notes – There were problems with having the SCSI Host Adapter BIOS enabled on the Adaptec 39160 card. The adapter BIOS was causing a BSOD at Windows logon. The resolution is to enter the SCSI BIOS, go to the Advanced section, and disable the Host Adapter BIOS. This is not needed, except in the case of booting from a SCSI disk, and video array performance is not affected in any way by disabling the Host Adapter BIOS.

5 TARGA 3000 Technical Advisories

5.1 PCILOCK Boot Option

THIS ADVISORY APPLIES TO ALL CERTIFIED WORKSTATIONS WORKING UNDER NT4

Summary: Adding /PCILOCK switch to BOOT.INI allows Adobe Premiere to launch properly. Note that this is required for Windows NT but should not be used under Windows 2000.

Procedure:

1. Log onto NT with administrative privileges

2. Locate BOOT.INI. Create a copy in another location for backup

3. Disable Read-Only file attribute

4. Open or edit file in Notepad or Edit.

5. Copy the line for default OS (normally first option)Insert and paste copy in first position and append with /PCILOCK switch.

After the procedure, the file should look similar to this:

[boot loader]

timeout=0 default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT

[operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Windows NT Workstation Version 4.00 TARGA 3000" /PCILOCK multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Windows NT Workstation Version 4.00" multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Windows NT Workstation Version 4.00 [VGA mode]" /basevideo /sos

6. Save BOOT.INI and close

7. Enable Read-Only file attribute

8. Reboot system

5.2 QuickTime Settings Option

THIS ADVISORY APPLIES TO ALL CERTIFIED WORKSTATIONS WORKING UNDER WINDOWS 2000

Summary: By default, Windows 2000 automatically sets the QuickTime video settings to Direct Draw mode. The majority of certified video cards support Direct Draw mode, and this is why this setting is selected by default. By contrast, the TARGA 3000 video overlay drivers (which enable video preview for playback and capture) has a known conflict with QuickTime settings set to Direct Draw mode. We recommend that prior to launching Premiere, Speed Razor or edit, please check these settings first.

Symptoms that QuickTime is set improperly:

• Capture hangs consistently

• Overall instability in Premiere

How to access the QuickTime settings:

1. Exit all open applications

2. Open up the control panels (Start->settings->control panels)

3. Open up the QuickTime settings

11/25/2002

TARGA 3000 Configuration Cookbook

4. Navigate to the About QuickTime sub-menu

5. Scroll down to the bottom of the menu and select Video Settings

6. If the radio button is enabled for Other Settings (Direct Draw), please click on the Safe Mode (GDI Only)

7. Click ok and reboot your system

8. Relaunch Premiere, Speed Razor or edit and continue

QuickTime Video Settings Dialog Image for Safe Mode (GDI Only)

5.3 Limitation Using the Onboard SCSI Channel with TARGA 3000 and the Compaq EVO W8000

THIS ADVISORY APPLIES TO ALL COMPAQ EVO W8000 WORKSTATIONS USING THE ONBOARD SCSI CHANNEL

Failure to comply with the suggested configuration settings (using the onboard SCSI channel instead of an Adaptec 39160 U160 SCSI Controller) for the Compaq EVO W8000 Workstation will result in pink or green garbage frames on the video output. In most configurations where the TARGA 3000 board is being used in the 64-bit slot, the available video-data bandwidth is severely limited by this data having to go through a PCI bridge before reaching the ultra160 SCSI3 controller on the 32-bit PCI bus.

By the time the video-date reaches your onboard SCSI controller on the 32-bit bus, the video playback or output will either drop frames or exhibit pink or green stripes on your video output. Please refer to the TARGA 3K FAQ Section for additional information.

6.1 Overlay Explained

The TARGA 3000 transfers a video sample directly to the memory of the display adapter via the AGP bus. Always use a video monitor to determine the quality of your final video output, not the overlay image. Overlay software transfers the video sample into an invisible part of the display adapter's memory. The display adapter will then scale and convert the image and transfer it to the right place in the visible part of display memory. Not all display adapters have this feature and thus may not draw or display a correct overlay. Occasionally, we have seen cases where the display adapter reports to TARGA that it can do an overlay, but then either does not do so or corrupts the graphic interface. If compatibility of the display adapter is in question, use one of the TARGA 3000 certified display adapters.

7.1 Image Quality and Data Rates

Preserving image quality is probably the most important feature TARGA 3000. By processing all video in uncompressed mode, there is no loss of visual information. If that wasn't enough, the 3000 can capture and process RGBA (4:4:4:4), creating video streams over 40 MBps in bandwidth, which can in this case exceed 144 MBps during real-time transitions. All this is supported by the system's audio-video hard drive subsystem, and it's ability to provide data at a predictable pace. Consequently, we recommend the latest technology in data-delivery, whose advances will no doubt outpace the frequency which this cookbook will be updated.

7.3 SCSI Bus types and potential bandwidth:

SCSI UltraWide transfers up to 40 MBps (from controller cache to drive cache), with a 16-bit wide data path. Also referred to as "Fast Wide SCSI-2". Not recommended for data rates above DV or MPEG, as real-world memory-to-disk transfer rates average 12 MBps for each drive.

SCSI Ultra2 transfers up to 80 MBps (from controller cache to drive cache), with a 16-bit wide data path. Also referred to as "Fast Wide SCSI-3", "LVD or Low-Voltage Differential". Often available in dual channel models, possibly increasing throughput capacity (pending tests will report the effectiveness of multi-channel configurations). Recommended for most data rates, with perhaps the exception of RGB. Real-world memory-to-disk transfer rates can average 18 MBps for each drive.

SCSI Ultra3 transfers up to 160 MBps (from controller cache to drive cache), with a 16-bit wide data path. Also referred to as "160m", "SCSI-3 LVD or Low-Voltage Differential". These are often available in 64-bit PCI bus slot configurations, which allows over 264 MBps transfer rates over the 64-bit portion of the PCI bus. Like the Ultra2 controllers, these are available in dual channel models, increasing throughput capacity. The maximum data rate over a 32-bit PCI bus is 132 MBps (this is a peak, or burst rate. Sustained rates are lower, partly because of the traffic from other devices on the bus). Recommended for most data rates, including the RGB codec. Real-world memory-to-disk transfer rate gains increase less dramatically over Ultra2 LVD, and can average 25 MBps for each drive.

7.4 SCSI Cables and Terminators

Resist the temptation to use the longer SCSI cables. The best results can be achieved by using the shorter, 3-foot or shorter lengths. We always use high quality internal and external SCSI cables from trusted vendors. This is especially true when using LVD (Ultra2 or Ultra3 SCSI), as most do are not marked with any indication of compatibility. This is important, as LVD-compatible cables use twisted-pair wires for each pin connection, allowing differential-voltage interference canceling. Unfortunately, they look nearly identical to UltraWide SCSI cables, which do not use twisted-pairs. At best, the result will be inconsistent communication over the cable.

The internal ribbon cables are easier to work with - the twisted wires are visible, usually terminate with an active LVD terminator (LVD drives do not supply their own termination). The Ultra2 LVD ribbon cables are usually blue and white, while Ultra3 LVD are white and pinkish-salmon. Adaptec notes that signal reflection can occur in lengths of less than 10" between drive connectors in the Ultra2 or Ultra3 LVD ribbon cables, degrading performance.

Sources of high quality SCSI cables and terminators:

Granite Digital 510-471-6442 www.scsipro.com

CS Electronics 714-475-9100 www.scsi-cables.com

7.5 Certified Disk Arrays

Fully integrated certified disk arrays are recommended since they provide the best guarantee of service and performance on what can often be the weakest link in the system. A poor drive array or cables can compromise the performance of the whole system.

- As data transmission rates get faster and faster, bus impedance matters. Rorke Data's SCA backplane design reduces impedance on the data bus resulting in increased signal integrity and better performance at these higher speeds. Where it makes sense, we have taken the time to match impedance characteristics to limit the amount of signal reflections causing unwanted noise on the bus which can further degrade signal integrity. In addition, SCA backplane reduces the number of internal connection points which significantly improves long-term reliability

7.7 System Boot Drives

Use the fastest system drive you can install in your system, from SCSI Ultra3 to ATA UDMA 66 (UltraDMA) EIDE drives. We recommend drives sizes of 9 GB or higher. Generally, the SCSI drive alternative will provide faster performance due to command queuing, but 66MHz UltraDMA drives are adequate. Be sure to apply the latest UltraDMA driver from the motherboard manufacturer, as Windows NT 4.0 does not natively support UltraDMA.

11/25/2002

TARGA 3000 Configuration Cookbook

7.8 Striping

We recommend that you use NT or W2K striping to configure the AV disk array. RAID controllers are not required. It is important that all the drives in the stripe are the same make, model and firmware revision (note this latter, problems can arise with apparently similar disks that have different firmware revisions).

7.9 Defragmentation

File fragmentation cannot be avoided. When files are written, deleted, and re-written to a disk drive, the drive is writing the data in the form of blocks as defined by the file system allocation size. If there is not enough contiguous space on the disk to accommodate the file, the file system breaks up the file into pieces, writing as many contiguous blocks as it can in one spot then jumping to another location on the disk to complete the write. As a disk becomes severely fragmented, performance can degrade severely.

There are two ways to eliminate or minimize fragmentation: periodically use defragmentation utilities such as Executive Software's Diskeeper or temporarily move media files to another drive or array, clean or re-format the AV drives, and move the files back. This will force files to be written in a contiguous manner.

7.10 EIDE and Ultra/DMA-66, 100 Drives

Not normally used for AV drives unless controlled by an EIDE array controller. Most motherboards incorporate two Integrated Drive Electronics (IDE) controllers as standard equipment. The EIDE or Ultra/DMA-66 (also referred to as ATA) is a newer version of the IDE interface, and can return respectable performance in systems where SCSI boot drives are not used. Be sure to apply the latest UltraDMA driver from the motherboard manufacturer or Intel (...), as Windows NT 4.0 does not natively support UltraDMA.

8 Addendum

8.1 TARGA 3108 Update

As of June 2002, new TARGA 3000 cards that leave manufacturing are labeled “TARGA 3108”. This hardware revision contained minimal component updates, and offers no functional enhancements. Over extended periods of shelf life, hardware is subject to minor revisions, and this was a necessary manufacturing change.

8.1.1 How do I determine which revision of TARGA card that I have?

If you have ordered a TARGA 3000 system in the past few months, you most likely have a TARGA 3108 card. In order to determine the hardware revision, close all applications on your desktop, and follow these steps:

a. Click on the Windows start button b. Select Programs->TARGA 3000-> Board Monitor c. Once the Board Monitor is open, view the third line of text. It should read TARGA 3100,

3105, or 3108.

In the event of any incompatibility with your system using this card revision and the TARGA 3000 v1.5 drivers, please refer to the Pinnacle T3K Download section and follow the steps to download an updated .inf file. If you are using the TARGA 3000 v1.5.1 drivers, this issue has been addressed in this release.
