The core I/O card's primary functions are:
Partitions (console support) including USB and RS 232 connections
10/100Base T LAN (general purpose)
Other common functions, such as Ultra320 SCSI, Fibre Channel, and Gigabit Ethernet, are not included
on the core I/O card. These functions are supported as normal PCI X add in cards.
The I/O expansion functionality is physically partitioned into four rack-mounted chassis—the I/O
expansion utilities chassis (XUC), the I/O expansion rear display module (RDM), the I/O expansion
power chassis (XPC) and the I/O chassis enclosure (ICE). Each ICE supports up to two 12-slot PCI-X
chassis.
The only field rackable I/O expansion components are the ICE and the 12-slot I/O chassis. Either
component would be field installed when the customer has ordered additional I/O capability for a
previously installed I/O expansion cabinet.
No I/O expansion cabinet components will be delivered to be field installed in a customer's existing rack
other than a previously installed I/O expansion cabinet. The I/O expansion components were not
designed to be installed in racks other than Rack System E or the new Universal 10K G2 rack. In other
words, they are not designed for Rosebowl I, pre merger Compaq, Rittal, or other third party racks.
The I/O expansion cabinet is based on a modified HP Rack System E and the new Universal 10K G2
and all expansion components mount in the rack. Each component is designed to install independently
in the rack. The Rack System E and the Universal 10K G2 cabinet have been modified to allow I/O
interface cables to route between the ICE and cell boards in the Superdome cabinet. I/O expansion
components are not designed for installation behind a rack front door. The components are designed for
use with the standard Rack System E and the Universal 10K G2 perforated rear door.
The I/O chassis enclosure (ICE) provides expanded I/O capability for Superdome. Each ICE supports up
to 24 PCI-X slots by using two 12-slot Superdome I/O chassis. The I/O chassis installation in the ICE
puts the PCI-X cards in a horizontal position. An ICE supports one or two 12-slot I/O chassis. The I/O
chassis enclosure (ICE) is designed to mount in a Rack System E rack and consumes 9U of vertical rack
space.
To provide online addition/replacement/deletion access to PCI or PCI-X cards and hot-swap access for
I/O fans, all I/O chassis are mounted on a sliding shelf inside the ICE.
Four (N+1) I/O fans mounted in the rear of the ICE provide cooling for the chassis. Air is pulled through
the front as well as the I/O chassis lid (on the side of the ICE) and exhausted out the rear. The I/O fan
assembly is hot swappable. An LED on each I/O fan assembly indicates that the fan is operating.
Although the individual I/O expansion cabinet components are designed for installation in any Rack
System E cabinet, rack size limitations have been agreed upon. IOX Cabinets will ship in either the 1.6
meter (33U) , 1.96 meter (41U) or the 2.0-meter (Universal 10K G2)(42U) cabinet. In order to allay
service access concerns, the factory will not install IOX components higher than 1.6 meters from the
floor. Open space in an IOX cabinet will be available for peripheral installation.
