(1) Switch pannel

(1)-1 AC switch

Main chasis AC power switch

(2) Main chasis

(2)-1 CELLV board

The CELLV board consists of a maximum of four Itanium2, one CPU Node

Controller (CNC), and a maximum of two Main Memory Controller

(MMC).Up to one CELLV board and two CELLV boards can be installed in

the 4Way main cabinet and 8Way main cabinet, respectively.

(2)-2 iSP-C card

iSP-C (service processor) card has an I/O interface (except for 1.6G interface)

in the basic processing device of the Express server as a standard. This iSP-C

card is installed in the main chasis of the main cabinet.

The following standard I/O interfaces are provided by an iSP-C card. The

interfaces from 1 to 3 are dedicated interfaces used to implement the system

control function and the RAS function.

1. 10/100BASE-TX Ethernet interface x1 for SP console

2. ICMB port x1 for IO cabinet control

3. Serial (RS-232C) interface x1 for SP console

(2)-3 Core module

Up to 12 PCI cards can be installed in the core module. Additionally, a BaseIO

card, which is used to support standard optional I/O interface, can be installed

in the core module.

(2)-4 DVD-ROM Drive

DVD-ROM and CD-ROM media can be used as DVD-ROM Device.

(2)-5 Floppy Disk Drive

Floppy Disk Medium can be used as Floppy Disk Drive.

(2)-6 Magnetic Disk Drive

Up to four 36.3 GB-73.2 GB Magnetic Disk Drives can be installed.

(2)-7 Power module

(2)-8 FANBOX (Core module)

FANBOX can be maintained online without aborting the system or turning off

the power.

(2)-9 FANBOX (Main chasis)

FANBOX can be maintained online without aborting the system or turning off

the power.

(3) Full-size PCIF unit

A full-size PCIF unit can be installed in an 8Way chassis as an option. Up to 14 PCI

cards can be installed in a full-size PCIF unit. Also, one BaseIO card and one VGA

card can be installed in a full-size PCIF unit to support a standard option I/O interface.

Installed PCI cards can be inserted/ejected (hot-swapped) online except for some types

of PCI cards (BaselO card/VGA card). That means it is not necessary to shut down or

reboot the basic processing device at the time of adding/exchanging PCI cards, which

leverages a high availability (a corresponding OS is required). A DVD-ROM device is

installed as default in the full-size PCIF unit. Up to six magnetic disks can be installed

as optional auxiliary memory devices.

(3)-1 DVD-ROM Drive (Optional)

DVD-ROM and CD-ROM media can be used as DVD-ROM Device.

(3)-2 Floppy Disk Drive

Floppy Disk Medium can be used as Floppy Disk Drive (which can be

connected to a full-size PCIX unit installed with a BaseIO card).

(3)-3 Magnetic Disk Drive (Optional)

Up to six 36.3GB-73.2GB Magnetic Disk Drives can be installed.

(3)-4 Slot for expanded PCI card (14 slots)

(4) Power Bay Unit

This unit supply DC power to the optional Full-size PCIX unit.

This server has a different power-up procedure for AC and DC. When activating from the

AC power, follow the steps below.

1. Turn on the distribution board.

2. Turn on the power of the control PC (applicable only in Japan).

3. Turn on the AC breaker in the power receptacle box in the main chasis.

4. Turn on the power of the uncontrollable external peripheral devices from the main

cabinet and confirm they have been booted without errors.

5. When a full-size PCIX unit is attached, turn on the AC power breaker of PowerBay on

the bottom of the back of the main cabinet.

6. Turn on the AC switch in the switch box located at the top in the front panel of the

cabinet.

At this moment, the DC power remains off. The DC power should be turned on the SP

console.
