Section Chapter Overview and Specifications Overview The RES-32XEL SMP Server/Workstation (see Figure 1-1 and Figure 1-2, page 1-2) is a rack-mounted ruggedized system designed specifically for above-average shock environments. The RES-32XEL supports single or dual Intel® 604/603 Xeon processors (up to 3.06 GHz), and contains a combination of compute- and graphics-intensive and diverse-I/O capabilities, ideal for a variety of military/aero- space and commercial telecommunications applications.

Figure 1-2. RES-32XEL System Block Diagram The RES-32XEL is designed within a 3RU (5.25”) form-factor that is 20” deep and fits into a 19” rack (with mounting brackets). I/O expansion includes one 64-bit/133- MHz PCI-X slot, two 64-bit/100-MHz PCI-X slots (one that supports Ultra320- SCSI RAID), two 32-bit/33-MHz PCI slots, and a single Pro8x/4x AGP graphics slot to support a high-speed graphics card.
Overview and Specifications Overview The RES-32XEL front panel provides access to two removable Ultra320 SCSI hard- disk drives, one fixed Ultra320 SCSI hard-disk drive or 1.44-MB 3.5” floppy-disk drive (mounts in the same location) a combination CD-RW/DVD-ROM slimline drive, the system power switch and LEDs, and a reset switch (see Figure 1-3; rack- mounting brackets are not shown).

1.1.1.4 Fan Status Monitor The RES-32XEL has ten cooling fans, four at the front of the motherboard, one on each CPU, and two in the power supply. The PC health-monitor utility can be used to check the RPM status of cooling fans with certain fans controlled by power-manage- ment functions and overheat detection logic.
In addition to providing operating-system power management, ACPI offers a generic system event mechanism for Plug and Play and an operating-system-independent interface for configuration control. Plug-and-Play BIOS data structures are lever- aged, while the implementation is processor-architecture-independent and compati- ble with both Windows 2000 and Windows NT 5.0. Themis Computer...

0.5G 1.2.3.3 Electrostatic Discharge The RES-32XEL has the provision to ground the chassis to minimize the effects of ESD on equipment operation. It is designed to tolerate electrostatic pulses up to 15 kilovolts (KV) with no impact on system operation.
• How to install a memory module, PCI or AGP graphics card, lithium battery, removable SCSI hard-disk drive, dual-fan housing, and power supply • Rack-mount brackets and slide-hole dimensions • How to turn the RES-32XEL SMP Server/Workstation on and off Installation Procedures Caution: Use industry-standard ESD grounding techniques when handling all components.
1. Loosen the two captive Phillips screws holding the protective top access cover to the rear of the RES-32XEL chassis (see A, Figure 2-1). 2. Both front and sides of the cover have flat hooks or tabs underneath that fit under slots on the chassis top edges (see B, Figure 2-1).
(page 2-13). 2.1.2 Memory Modules The RES-32XEL supports up to six ECC registered DDR-266/200 (PC2100/1600) SDRAM memory modules of different sizes, for a total of up to 12 GB installed in 184-pin DIMM sockets (see Table 2-1). Caution: Exercise extreme caution when installing or removing SDRAM memory modules to prevent any possible damage.
