Major Components Of A Numalink Configuration - Silicon Graphics Origin 350 User Manual

Major Components of a NUMAlink Configuration
007-4566-001
• One or more power components (for example, power distribution unit [PDU],
power strip, and power bay module).
Note: The power bay is required when the system contains a PCI expansion module.
• One or more TP900 storage modules (optional). (The maximum number of TP900s
is dependent on the number of SCSI connections in the system; each TP900 requires
one SCSI connection.)
• 2Gb SGI TP9100 storage system, SGI TP9400 storage system, or SGI TP9500 storage
system (optional).
The NUMAlink configuration can contain the following major components (see
Figure 2-8):
• 17U or 39U rack with power distribution unit.
• Base compute module.
• NUMAlink module.
• A combination of the following modules:
Note: The total number of compute modules, MPX modules, and PCI expansion
devices cannot exceed eight. For example, a system can contain six compute
modules, one MPX module, and one PCI expansion module.
– One to seven expansion compute modules (only one expansion compute
module is required).
– Zero to four MPX modules.
– Zero to four PCI expansion modules.
• L2 controller.
