The SGI Origin 300 system with NUMAlink module is a distributed shared memory (DSM) and distributed I/O system. As a DSM system, each Origin 300 base module (2 or 4 processors) has local memory that it shares with the other base modules in the system.
The Origin 300 system has many of the same features that are available in the Origin 3000 product line to increase the reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS) of the system.
System control network for system maintenance and monitoring is supported. • LED values are readable via the system controller network. Figure 1-2 shows the Origin 300 system with NUMAlink module. Figure 1-2 SGI Origin 300 System with NUMAlink Module 007-4498-002...

Base System Components Rack The SGI Origin 300 system with NUMAlink module supports two rack types: a short rack and a tall rack. The racks are measured in standard units (U); one unit is equal to 1.75 in. (4.45 cm). The short rack is a 17U rack and the tall rack is a 39U rack (refer to Figure 1-4).
1: Introduction Both rack types have the following characteristics: • 19-in. mounting rails to support the components within the rack. • Front and rear doors. • Cable management hardware in the rear of the rack. • Four castors, two of which are swivel castors. •...
1: Introduction SGI Origin 300 Base Modules The SGI Origin 300 system with NUMAlink module consists of two to eight Origin 300 base modules that provide the compute functionality for the system. These base modules, or servers, communicate with each other via the NUMAlink 3 interconnect.
Origin 300 base modules via the NUMAlink 3 interconnect. The NUMAlink module consists of eight ports; four ports can connect to four Origin 300 base modules. The other four ports, which carry USB signals, can connect to Origin 300 base modules or PCI expansion modules.
USB Hub The USB hub, shown in Figure 1-9, routes information between the L2 controller and the four Origin 300 base modules that connect to NUMAlink module ports 1, 6, 7, and 8 (the ports that do not carry USB signals).
1: Introduction L2 Controller The L2 controller, shown in Figure 1-10, is a rack-level controller that performs the following functions: • Controls resource sharing. • Controls L1 controllers. • Maintains controller configuration and topology information. • Enables remote maintenance. • Routes data between upstream and downstream devices, as follows: Upstream devices (for example, the system console) provide control for the system, initiate commands for the downstream devices, and act on the messages that they...

5: Troubleshooting SGI Electronic Support SGI Electronic Support provides system support and problem-solving services that function automatically, which helps resolve problems before they can affect system availability or develop into actual failures. SGI Electronic Support integrates several services so they work together to monitor your system, notify you if a problem exists, and search for solutions to the problem.
SGI Electronic Support The sequence of events can be described as follows: Embedded Support Partner (ESP) monitors your system 24 hours a day. 2. When a specified system event is detected, ESP notifies SGI via e-mail (plain text or encrypted). 3.
