Page 25 About This Guide This guide describes how to set up and operate the Silicon Graphics Origin200 server and Origin Vault expansion option. Both chassis have two formats: a standalone tower and an enclosure that can be mounted in the Origin Rack or other Silicon Graphics rack.
Page 26 (FRUs) in both the Origin200 server and Origin Vault expansion chassis. • Appendix A, “Connector Pinout Assignments,” documents the pin assignments of the connectors on the back panels of both the Origin200 server and Origin Vault expansion chassis. • Appendix B, “Cable Descriptions,” describes the pin-to-pin wiring of the serial and AUX port cables that can be used with the Origin200 server.
Page 27 • IRIX Admin: Backup, Security, and Accounting Describes how to back up and restore ﬁles, how to protect your system’s and network’s security, and how to track system usage on a per-user basis. • IRIX Admin: Peripheral Devices Describes how to set up and maintain the software for peripheral devices such as terminals, modems, printers, and CD-ROM and tape drives.
Page 29 Chapter 1 Origin200: Overview and Theory of Operations The Origin200 server is a multiprocessor server that consists of one or two chassis or modules. Figure 1-1 shows a two-module system. Figure 1-1 Two-module Origin200 System, Front View Figure 1-2 shows a rear view of a two-module Origin200 system.
Page 30 Figure 1-2 Two-module Origin200 System, Rear View The Origin200 server can also be mounted in a 21-inch Silicon Graphics rack or a standard 19-inch rack. Figure 1-3 shows an example. Origin200: Overview and Theory of Operations...
Page 31 If you need to change an Origin200 server or Origin Vault from a tower conﬁguration to a rack-mountable conﬁguration, use the conversion kit P-S-RM-KIT.
Page 32 19-inch equipment racks. Multimodule Grounding and Site Preparation Like other members of the Origin family, the Origin200 server is extremely sensitive to differences in ground potential between modules. Multimodule systems are linked not only by a CrayLink Interconnect cable, but also by a grounding cable that ensures both modules are at the same potential.

Page 37 Memory Each Origin200 module can have between 32 MB and 2 GB of memory, depending upon the type of dual in-line memory module (DIMM) that you install. DIMMs are installed in sockets that are grouped into two banks of four sockets each. Figure 1-7 shows the layout of the DIMM sockets on the main system board.
Page 38 Maximum interleaving is achieved with a single bank. Internal Drive Options and SCSI Channels The Origin200 server provides bays for two sizes of internal drive options: 5.25-inch drives and 3.5-inch drives. 1-10 Origin200: Overview and Theory of Operations...

Page 41 The serial port connectors are DB-9, male, and are designed to be IBM-compatible. Because of this, they do not use the same pinouts as prior Silicon Graphics DB-9 serial ports. For a description of the serial port pinouts, see Appendix A, “Connector Pinout Assignments.”...
Page 42 1.11 External Interrupt Ports The Origin200 server has two connectors for use with the external interrupt interface. This interface allows separate machines to send and receive interrupts over a dedicated wire for purposes of inter-machine synchronization. Using this device, a user process may generate outgoing interrupts to other machines, or receive interrupts from other machines in a variety of ways.
Page 43 1.13 Air Flow and Fans Air ﬂow through Origin200 is from the front of the system to the rear, and is drawn by three DC fans located just behind the internal drive bays. The maximum ﬂow rate is 100 cfm (0.047 m...
Page 44 Air is drawn up from PCI plenum duct, over PCI cards towards the fan plenum Figure 1-10 Air Flow Through Origin200 Air is drawn through the system in the following way: • Fan 1, directly behind the 5.25-inch peripheral carrier, draws air from the front of the system through the 5.25-inch peripheral carrier.
Page 45 (MSC) operates the fans at one of two speeds: low and high. Table 1-5 describes the relationship of the air temperature to fan speed. Table 1-5 Relationship of Air Temperature to Fan Speed in an Origin200 Server Air Temperature Action Less than 83.3°...

Page 49 The Origin Vault expansion option is a drive enclosure that holds up to six 3.5-inch drives and either one full-height 5.25-inch drive or two half-height 5.25-inch drives. It provides expansion capacity for Silicon Graphics Origin2000, Origin200, and Onyx2 deskside and rackmount servers and workstations.
Page 50 The Origin Vault drive enclosure version can be mounted in the Origin2000 Rack (Origin Rack) or other 19-inch Silicon Graphics rack, the Origin SCSI expansion rack (P-S-RACK, 21 inches wide), or in an industry-standard 19-inch rack. The rackmountable version has a front bezel (different from that for the tower), as well as mounting hardware.
Page 51 Example Rackmounted Origin Vault Enclosure Figure 2-2 Early versions of the rackmountable Origin200 server and Origin Vault shipped Note: with mounting rails that attached to the inside of the equipment rack. The rails are no longer used and have been replaced by a mounting shelf that is easier to install in a wider variety of third-party 19-inch equipment racks.

Page 57 Use an uninterruptable power supply when possible. • If the standalone tower is connected to an Origin200 system, both systems must be plugged into the same grounded power circuit; otherwise, damage can result to components on the Origin200 system main system board.

Page 66 3.1.1 Providing Correct Electrical Grounding (Earthing) Proper electrical grounding is critical. With a two-module system, both modules must be on the same, grounded power supply. Otherwise, the Origin200 system board will be damaged. Modules may be connected to different electrical circuits, but those circuits must originate at the same power supply (electrical service entrance or breaker box).
Page 67 40 pounds (18 kg) per module. Be aware that a fully-conﬁgured Origin200 module can weigh up to 75 pounds (34 kg) per module. Rackmounted Origin200 servers ship with a mounting shelf that can support the weight of a fully loaded system.
Page 68 The rackmounting shelf does not isolate the server from mechanical shock and Note: vibration. If you plan to use a rackmount Origin200 server in an environment that will subject the system to excess vibration, you should obtain a mounting system capable of dampening the vibration.

Figure 3-5 provides an overview of the various connectors that are available.
Page 71 When working on an Origin200 server, follow these safety precautions: • Place the chassis on a surface capable of supporting a minimum of 40 lbs (about 18 kg) per module. A fully-conﬁgured Origin200 module can weigh up to 75 lbs (34 kg). •...
Page 72 Do not install additional or overpacked disk drives yet. These make the modules heavier and more difﬁcult to move as you continue to set up the system. 4. If you are installing the Origin200 modules in an equipment rack, turn now to Chapter 5, “Installing an Origin200 System in a Rack.”...

Page 158 6.5.1.2 Setting Up and Starting the Terminal Emulator To communicate with the Origin200 server, you need a terminal emulator for your IBM compatible or Macintosh computer. Many operating systems, such as Microsoft Windows, ship with a terminal emulator package (also known as modem or communications software.) Some examples of terminal emulator software include.
Page 159 • Note which terminal type (such as VT100 or ANSI) you choose to emulate. You will need this information when you log in to the Origin200 server. • Other settings, such as upload and download protocol, initialization strings, and ﬁle transfer settings do not matter for this procedure.
Page 160 < >, make sure the cables are correctly attached. The DB9 connector on Enter the long serial cable (shipped with the Origin200 server) must be in port 1 of the server. • Make sure you have conﬁgured the terminal emulator to use the correct serial port on your computer.

Page 235 9.5.2 Attaching Serial (ASCII) Terminals You can connect an optional ASCII terminal to your Origin200 by using the serial cable shipped with your server. It has a DB-9 connector on one end and a 25-pin serial connector on the other. See Appendix B, “Cable Descriptions” for information on this cable.
Page 236 Use the following steps to properly connect a terminal: 1. Attach the keyboard (if applicable) and power connectors to the terminal. Caution: Before plugging the terminal into either a 110-VAC or 220-VAC outlet, be sure that the electrical rating on the UL-CSA label is in either the 100–120 VAC or 200–240 VAC range, whichever applies.
