• The Silicon Graphics 330 Visual Workstation has three 5.25-inch and four 3.5-inch drive bays, as shown in Figure 1-5. All three 5.25-inch drive bays are externally accessible from the front panel. Two of the 3.25-inch drive bays are located on the front panel—the other two are housed and accessible inside the chassis.

• The Silicon Graphics 330 Visual Workstation is cooled by three fans—one front system fan and two rear system fans (see Figure 1-4). The front fan pulls the cool air into the chassis, while the two rear fans pull the warm air out of the chassis. One rear fan is located on the rear panel; the other rear fan is located in the power supply.

• The power supply is switch-selectable for 110V versus 220V AC power. The power supply converts AC power to DC voltages which are used by the system board, the fans, and the 3.5-inch and 5.25-inch drives. It is located above the system board on the rear panel.

• The system board is mounted parallel to the right side panel using a one-screw mounting system (see Figure 1-2 for the location of the system board screw). For an overview of the system board and its components, see Chapter 3.

Pre-installation Instructions

Before proceeding with theinstallation, select asuitable site that willallow for continued maximum performance of the unit, and for easy access to its components.

Consider the following questions before selecting a site for the system:

• Will the intended location allow for convenient access to areas of routine procedures, such as the power switch, the drive bays, and the rear panel connectors?

• Is the intended location free of dust, spills, or any other condition inappropriate for a high-performance computing system?

• Will the system be stable and free from vibration?

• Is the intended location well-ventilated and away from any source of heat? For the cooling system to perform properly, it is essential that the system be located in an area where airﬂow is unrestricted. See Appendix B for physical environment speciﬁcations.

3. System Board

This chapter describes the system board and all its major components. It contains the system board layout, jumper settings, cache and memory conﬁgurations, and information on other internal devices.

The M25D system board is a PCI bus-based dual-processor system board built on an extended ATX baseboard. It comes with a dual FC-PGA (Flip-Chip Pin Grip Array) processor socket utilizing an Intel Pentium III processor integrated with the VIA Apollo Pro 133A chipset. The system board also integrates the Intel 82559 10/100 Mbps PCI Ethernet chipset that supports WOL (Wake on LAN) and provides for better remote site management.

For expandability, the system board includes one AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port) bus, ﬁve PCI bus slots, and three DIMM sockets that allow memory installation to a maximum of 1.5 GB, using three 512-MB SDRAM (synchronous DRAM) DIMMs.

For connectivity, the system board supports two USB (Universal Serial Bus) connectors, a speaker-out/line-out, audio-in, and microphone-in port, and other standard features such as two UART NS16C550 serial ports, one enhanced parallel port with Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP)/Extended Capabilities Port (ECP) support, a diskette driveinterface, and two embedded hard disk interfaces.

Only Linux, Windows NT 4.0, and Windows 2000 are supported by SGI.

Processor

The Pentium III processor implements dynamic execution performance, a multi-transaction system bus, Intel MMX, and SSE instructions. Also, it offers streaming SIMD (Single Instruction Multiple Data) extensions, which are 70 new instructions

007-4278-001 55

3: System Board

Memory

enabling advanced imaging, 3D, streaming audio and video, and speech recognition applications. The Pentium III processor delivers higher performance than the previous Pentium processor while maintaining binary compatibility with all previous Intel architecture processors.

This system board supports 133-MHz host bus frequencies for single or dual Pentium III processors running at either 733 to 800 MHz, as well as future generation Pentium processors.

The three DIMMsockets on board allow memory upgradeto a maximum of 1.5GB using three 512-MB SDRAM (synchronous DRAM) DIMMs. For data integrity, the default setting of the ECC (error-correction code) function of the memory system in BIOS is enabled. See “Memory/Cache Options” on page 101 for more information on this setting.

Note: The SDRAM works at 3.3 volts only; 5-volt memory devices are not supported.

The system board supports 100-MHz and 133-MHz ECC registered SDRAMs only; 66-MHz SDRAMs are not supported.

Note: Only SGI tested memory is supported. Please visit www.sgi.com for a list of supported memory.

System Chipsets

VIA Apollo Pro 133A Chipset

The VIA Apollo Pro 133A chipset was speciﬁcally designed to meet the needs of high performance systems. It consists of two components: VT82C694X (north bridge) and VT82C686A (south bridge).

• VT82C694X (north bridge) provides the host interface, memory system control interface, PCI interface, and AGP interface to boost graphics performance.

56 007-4278-001

LAN Subsystem

Expansion Slots

AGP Bus

Overview

• VT82C686A (south bridge) integrates the super I/O functions of keyboard and

mouse interface, ﬂoppy disk controller, advanced digital data separator, two compatible serial ports (UARTs), one parallel port, on-chip 12 mA AT bus drivers, one ﬂoppy direct drive support, and Intelligent Power Management support. It also supports the PC99 compliant PCI-to-ISA bridge, SoundBlaster/DirectSound AC97 audio, and SMbus.

Another cost-effective feature for network solutions is the integration of Intel’s 82559 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet controller, which supports Advanced Conﬁguration and Power Interface (ACPI) 1.20A-based power management, wake on Magic Packet, wake on interesting packet, advanced System Management Bus (SMB)-based manageability, Wired for Management (WfM) 2.0 compliance, IP checksum assist, PCI 2.2 compliance, and PC 98, PC 99, and Server 99 compliance.

AGP is solely developed for the purpose of supporting 3D graphic applications. It has a 32-bit wide channel that runs at 66 MHz, which translates into a total bandwidth of 266 MBs. This is twice the bandwidth of PCI buses (133 MBs). AGP also accesses the main memory directly, allowing 3D textures to be stored in main memory as well as video memory. The Silicon Graphics 330 VisualWorkstationhas anAGP ProSlot whichenables users to install both AGP or AGP Pro cards in the system.

PCI Bus

The system board has ﬁve PCI buses that support 32-bit/33-MHz PCI devices. The PCI bus is the key interface that communicates between the north and the south bridge.

Hardware Management Support

The system board supports a power management function that conforms to the power-saving standards ofthe U.S. Environmental Protection Agency(EPA) Energy Star program. It also offers plug and play, which helps prevent conﬁguration problems and makes the system more user-friendly.

As a general rule, if an error message says “Press F1 to continue” it is caused by a conﬁguration problem, which can be easily corrected. An equipment malfunction is more likely to cause a fatal error, i.e., an error that causes complete system failure.

Following are some corrective measures for error conditions:

70 007-4278-001

Error Messages

1. Run Setup. You must know the correct conﬁguration values for your system before you enter Setup, which is why you should write them down when the system is correctly conﬁgured. An incorrect conﬁguration is a major cause of power-on error messages, especially for a new system.

2. Remove the system unit cover. Check that the jumpers on the system board and any expansion boards are set correctly.

3. If you cannot access a new disk, it may be because your disk is not properly formatted. Format the disk ﬁrst using the FDISK and FORMAT commands.

4. Check that all connectors and boards are securely plugged in.

If you go through these corrective steps above and still receive an error message, the cause may be an equipment malfunction. If you are sure that your conﬁguration values are correct and your battery is in good condition, the problem may be a damaged or defective chip. In either case, contact an authorized service center for assistance. The BIOS utility allows you to view your system’s conﬁguration settings. Most systems are already conﬁgured by the manufactureror the dealer. You do not need torun Setupwhen starting the computer unless you receive a Run Setup message.

The Setup program loads conﬁguration values into the battery-backed nonvolatile memory called CMOS RAM. This memory area is not part of the system RAM.

If you repeatedly receive Run Setup messages, the battery may be bad. In this case, the system cannot retain conﬁguration values in CMOS. Ask a qualiﬁed technician for assistance.

007-4278-001 71

When set to Auto, the BIOS utility automatically detects if the installed hard disk supports the function. If supported, it allows for faster data recovery and read/write timing that reduces hard disk activity time. This results in better hard disk performance.

The Ultra DMA and Multi-DMA modes enhance hard disk performance by increasing the transfer rate. However, besides enablingthese featuresin theBIOS Setup, both the Ultra DMA and Multi-DMA modes require the DMA driver to be loaded. By setting this parameter to Auto, BIOS automatically sets the appropriate DMA mode for your hard disk.
