Introduction
LocalView module (alphanumeric system display)
The LocalView module provides you with the option of displaying system infor-
mation and hardware system faults alphanumerically. This is an intelligent
module with a micro-controller and its own memory, which functions indepen-
dently of the server system.
The LocalView module consists of an LCD display panel and a toggle switch,
both accommodated in a suitable mount. The mechanical mechanism used
allows the LCD display panel to be pulled out and flapped out. Further infor-
mation on operating the display modes are provided in the documentation on
the LocalView module.
Hard disk drives
the installation up to six HDD modules is possible. Each HDD module can
accommodate a SCSI hard disk drive with an SCA (Single Connector
Attachment) interface and a height of at most 1 inch. The connection to the
SCSI backplane is made without cables via the SCA interface. This makes it
simple to plug in or pull out the HDD modules. If the server has a RAID controller
and the corresponding RAID configuration, faulty HDD modules can also be
replaced while the system is operating.
Additional controllers in non-hot-plug PCI slots
The system board offers five PCI slots. Slots 1-3 are non-hot-plug PCI slots with
a PCI bus speed of 100 MHz. If slot 1 and slot 2 are not occupied, slot 3 can
work with the PCI bus speed of 133 MHz (IDoubleOP™).
PCI slots 4 and 5 are hot-plug PCI slots which can be equipped with controllers
that have hot-plug capability (the hot-plug PCI slots are described in the
Operating Manual).
Optional riser card
Optionally you can install a Riser card into slot 5, which can be equipped with 3
controllers. The bus speed is 100 MHz. Two slots (6 and 7) can be equipped with
short standard PCI controllers and slot 8 can be equipped with a full length full
height PCI controller.
