Adding Option Boards - Intergraph InterServe 8000 System Reference Manual

8. When removing jumpers, do not discard them. Attach each jumper to a single pin on the connector
as follows:
Pin
Jumper
9. Close the base unit and restart the system.
10. Install the InterRAID software and configure the drives for RAID use. Refer to the InterRAID
documentation included with the upgrade kit.

Adding Option Boards

This section describes how to install option boards and assign system resources if the option board
requires special assignments. The following paragraphs summarize the design of Peripheral
Component Interconnect (PCI), non-compliant PCI, Industry Standard Architecture (ISA), and Plug-n-
Play (PnP) option boards.
u
PCI boards contain configuration registers that define resource information to the system during
startup. PCI boards do not require manual system configuration when installing the board. The
system BIOS detects the board's presence during startup and reads information from the board's
configuration registers to assign the necessary system resources. The system's PCI slots are
limited to 25 Watts power dissipation per the Peripheral Component Interconnect Specification .
Installed PCI boards must draw less than 25 Watts of power. Also, the total power consumed by
all PCI boards in the system should be less than 180 Watts.
u
Non-compliant PCI boards mechanically comply with the Peripheral Component Interconnect
Specification, but do not contain configuration registers that allow the system to automatically
assign the necessary resources. These boards install in PCI slots, but you assign system resources
manually (using AMIBIOS Setup) before installing the board. In this regard, they are like ISA
boards, as described below.
u
ISA boards do not contain registers that define the resource information to the system during
startup. Therefore, you must run the AMIBIOS Setup to define the board to the system before
installing the ISA board. This reserves system resources for the board and prevents conflicts with
ISA option boards already installed. Refer to "Assigning System Resources for Option Boards" in
the System Setup.
u
PnP boards are ISA boards that contain configuration registers like PCI boards. During startup,
the system BIOS automatically detects the installed board and assigns the necessary system
resources. Since PnP boards are ISA-based boards, they must be installed in the ISA slots.
