SP 5200XS Series Board Layout & End Bracket


Switch Settings

S1, Switch 1 and 2 - Supervisory Interrupt

The IES (Intelligent Environmental Sensor) module in the Density System communicates with the SP processors in the system via a hardware interrupt which is configurable as either IRQ 10 or IRQ 15. The interrupt is set with switch 1.

Note: The SP Series includes a secondary IDE controller for the Density System CD-ROM Drive. If this controller is enabled in the BIOS, it will use IRQ 15. If using the IES Supervisory System, its Interrupt must then be set to IRQ 10.

S1, Switch 3 - PS/2 Mouse IRQ

A PS/2 style mouse port is included on each SP processor. The mouse is connected to the SP board via the Density System multiplexer. If a mouse is not used, the port can be disabled to release the interrupt.

Jumper Settings

The figure above shows the connector, switch and jumper locations on the board. Table 2-2 defines the  jumper settings.

JP5 - Ethernet

The on-board DEC 21140 PCI Fast Ethernet (10/100 Mbps) controller can be disabled in the system BIOS and via hardware with jumper JP5.

JP3 - SCSI

The on-board Symbios 895 Ultra Fast/Wide SCSI controller can be enabled or disabled in the system BIOS and via hardware with jumper JP3.

Memory Configuration & Management

All SP Series memory is provided in 168 pin, 72 bit standard 60ns buffered DIMMs. DIMMs do not need to be installed in pairs, and different sizes may be mixed on a SP. Table 4-1 shows the Memory map for the SP processor. Table 4-2 defines the boards I/O configuration.

System Interrupts

The 16 system hardware interrupts on the SP are represented in Table 4 - 4. Interrupts are managed by two standard 8259A Programmable Interrupt Controllers (PICs). Interrupts at IRQ 0 through 7 are located on the main PIC; IRQ 8 through 15 are on the SLAVE PIC.
