PCI, PCI Express interrupts

Each device connected to a PCI bus or PCI Express can use up to four interrupt
signals depending on the functionality.

18 Technical Manual D2559 (TX150 S6)

Features PCI bus

PCI and PCI-X buses use four lines named INTA to INTD, typically connected
to all devices on the bus in order to periodically balance interrupt load. An
interrupt signal may thereby be used simultaneously by multiple devices
(interrupt sharing).

PCI Express devices send their interrupts through messages. This avoids
restrictions in wiring.

The following interrupt signals are used in the system:

Slot/device Property Interrupt signal

VGA iRMC graphic Int B

LAN BCM5755T Int A

Slot 6 PCIe x8 Int A, B, C, D

Slot 5 PCIe x8 Int A, B, C, D

Slot 3 PCI (33 MHz) Int C, D, F, G

Slot 2 PCI (33 MHz) Int F, G, C, D

Slot 1 PCI (33 MHz) Int G, F, D, C

Assignment of the PCI interrupts

If you select Auto in the BIOS setup, the interrupts are assigned automatically
and no further settings are required.

D2559 (TX150 S6) Technical Manual 19

Screen resolution Features

3.4 Screen resolution

Depending on the operating system used the screen resolutions in the following
table refer to the graphic controller on the system board. The MATROX G200
graphic controller is integrated in the iRMC (integrated Remote Management
Controller).

1152 x 864 Hz 24 Bit 60 Hz

1280 x 1024 Hz 24 Bit 60 Hz

1600 x 1200 Hz 16 Bit 60 Hz

If you are using an external graphic controller, you will find details of supported
screen resolutions in the operating manual or technical manual supplied with
the graphic controller.

3.5 Temperature / system monitoring

Temperature and system monitoring aim to reliably protect the computer
hardware against damage caused by overheating. In addition, any unnecessary
noise is also prevented by reducing the fan speed, and information is provided
about the system status.

The temperature and system monitoring are controlled by an onboard controller.

The following functions are supported:

Temperature monitoring

Measurement of the processor and the system internal temperature by an
onboard temperature sensor, measurement of the ambient temperature by a

2

C temperature sensor.

I

20 Technical Manual D2559 (TX150 S6)

Features Temperature / system monitoring

Fan monitoring

The CPU, power supply unit and system fans are monitored. Fans that are no
longer available, blocked or sticky fans are detected.

Fan control

The fans are regulated according to temperature.

Sensor monitoring

The removal of, or a fault in, a temperature sensor is detected. Should this
happen all fans monitored by this sensor run at maximum speed, to achieve the
greatest possible protection of the hardware.

Voltage monitoring

When voltage exceeds warning level high or falls below warning level low an
alert will be generated.

Cover monitoring

Unauthorized opening of the cover is detected, even when the system is
switched off. However, this will only be indicated when the system is switched
on again.

System Event Log (SEL)

All monitored events of the system board are signalized via the Global Error
LED and recorded in the System Event Log. They could be retrieved in the BIOS
Setup or via ServerView.
