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 supports symmetrical
multiprocessing (SMP) and a variety of operating systems. The bus interface is capable of handling multiple
processors with multiple ca

Interrupt and Control ASIC Onboard Interrupt and Control ASIC (INCA) provides PCI (INCA) 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 drives the front panel interface and LCD display for security and server management functions. A System Management Interrupt (SMI) component monito

SCSI-2 Single Connector Provides a continuous fast/wide SCSI bus for access to all Attachment (SCA) hot-swap drive bays. Allows SCSI-1 Compatible Backplane (5 MB/sec), fast/narrow SCSI-2 (10 MB/sec), or fast/wide SCSI-2 (20 MB/sec) data transfers to the hard drives. 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 automatical

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 change the system configuration with the SCU. The secure boot mode allows the system to boot and run the operating system (OS). However, you cann

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 maximum current The power supply has three DC peripheral connectors for the accessible drive bays, two mini-output connectors for use with the 3 1/2-inch

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 slots. If you use these PCI slots, you cannot use the EISA slots. The 32-bit PCI bus is a two-segment PCI PeerBus that provides: 32- and 64-bit mem

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 system board includes two PCI-based Adaptec AIC-7870 fast/wide SCSI-2 controllers (channels A and B) integrated as 32-bit PCI bus masters. The cont

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 inch; taller SIMMs will interfere with an adjacent CPU module or ECC memory module. The ECC memory module detects and corrects single-bit errors fr

You can also monitor server physical parameters (temperature, power supply voltage) and receive information about server status, even when the server or network is down. If you add a PCMCIA modem to the serial port of the server monitor module, you can monitor, configure, and set up the server from a remote site. The Server Monitor Module works in conjunction with the Interrupt Controll
