  • Page 10: Processor

    Processor The SCB2 accommodates one or two Intel Pentium III processors with 512k cache in the FC-PGA2 package. This processor uses the .13 micron technology and offers advanced performance. The processor external interface operates at a maximum of 133 MHz. For a complete list of supported processors see: http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/scb2...
  • Page 11: Video

    Video The SCB2 uses an ATI RAGE XL PCI graphics accelerator with 8 MB of video SDRAM that † supports all standard IBM VGA modes. The embedded SVGA video subsystem supports: Pixel resolutions up to 1600 x 1200 under 2D and 1024 x 768 under 3D CRT and LCD monitors up to 100 Hz vertical refresh rate The server board supports disabling of the onboard video through the BIOS setup menu or when a plug in video card is installed in any of the PCI slots.

    RJ45 serial port. The 8 pins of the RJ45 connector can be configured to match either of two pin-out standards used by serial port concentrators. To accommodate either standard, the J6A2 jumper block located directly behind the rear RJ45 serial port must be jumpered appropriately according to which standard is desired. Intel Server Board SCB2 Product Guide...
  • Page 15: J6A2 Jumper Block For Dcd Signal

    NOTE By default, as configured in the factory, the SCB2 baseboard will have the rear RJ45 serial port configured to support a DSR signal. For serial concentrators that require a DCD signal, the J6A2 jumper block must be configured as follows: The DCD jumper in position 2 and 3 and the DSR jumper in position 2 and 3.

  • Page 101: Current Usage

    Current Usage NOTE Both processors pull power from +12V. This may limit the number of drives and/or add-in cards you may install. The average power usage should not exceed 15 watts per PCI slot. The cooling efficiency varies per slot; therefore, ensure that adequate cooling is available in the target slot—especially in an expansion slot dissipating more than 10 Watts.
