NEC PROSERVA PH133 manual

Return to ProServa PH Page 1 Server Description The NEC ProServa ™ PH133 series of high performance Pentium ® 133 MHz servers incorporate a modular scaleable architecture that integrates a 64 - bit bus interface with a Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) PeerBus and an Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA) bus. The architecture supp[...]

Interrupt and Control ASIC (INCA) Onboard Interrupt and Control ASIC (INCA) provides PCI interrupt control. An integrated automatic APIC sensor is capable of full dual-Pentium and quad-Pentium processor symmetric multi-processing support. An INCA component provides support for PCI arbitration, interrupt steering, and a second I/O APIC. It also driv[...]

Additional details are given in Appendix C, "Technical Reference." Chassis The server system ’ s electro - galvanized metal chassis minimizes EMI/RFI. The chassis contains: auto - ranging 525 watt power supply/fan unit that automatically switches between 110 Vac and 220 Vac two variable - speed hot - swap fans for interior cooling, with[...]

disable writing to the diskette drive. If you set the user password, but not the administrative password, the BIOS requires you to enter the user password before you can boot the server or run the SCU. If you set both passwords, entering either one lets you boot the server or enable the keyboard and mouse. Only the administrative password lets you [...]

Power Supply The auto - ranging 525 watt power supply, designed to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), provides sufficient power for the system. The power supply automatically switches between these input voltage ranges: 100 - 120 VAC at 50/60 Hz; 12 A maximum current 200 - 240 VAC at 50/60 Hz; 7 A ma[...]

add-in boards and software in your server. PCI Expansion Slots The four PCI bus slots on the system board provide for expansion and performance enhancement. One slot is in line with a processor module slot; if you install a processor module in this slot, you cannot use the PCI slot. Two slots share a common chassis I/O expansion slot with two EISA [...]

By increasing the buffer size of the onboard video memory from 512 KB to 1 MB (with one, 40-pin 256 K x 16, 70 ns fast-page DRAM), the controller can support 132- column text modes and high resolution graphics with a maximum of 1024 x 768 x 64 K colors. It also provides hardware accelerated bit block transfers (BitBLT) of data. SCSI Controller The [...]

memory module. The two modules provide up to 768 MB of high-speed memory. Each module has three memory banks. Each bank consists of four SIMM sockets. Each socket can hold an 8, 16, or 32 MB approved fast-page parity SIMM. You can install any size SIMM in any bank but all four SIMMs in a bank must be the same size . SIMM height must not exceed one [...]
