Overview, Continued

Onboard I/O The MegaRUM motherboard includes:

an onboard ATI Rage II PCI VGA controller with 2 MB of synchronous graphics memory,

two onboard Symbios Logic 53C875 SCSI controllers that provide 2 40 MBs ultra wide SCSI channels and one ultra wide/narrow SCSI channel,

two 40-pin IDE connectors for 1 – 4 IDE drives,

a 34-pin floppy drive connector,

two serial port connectors,

a 25-pin parallel port connector,

a keyboard DIN connector,

two 4-pin USB ports, and

a9-pinbergmouseconnector.

Server Management Software The American Megatrends SystemGuru server management software is included with the MegaRUM motherboard. SystemGuru uses the I2C interface to constantly monitor and report the CPU temperature, fan speed, ECC memory errors, ambient temperature, CPU voltage, system voltage and other user-specified system status information to any remote client computer. See the American Megatrends SystemGuru User’s Guide for additional information.

Onboard PCI VGA The PCI VGA on the MegaRUM motherboard is supported by the ATI 3D RAGE II 264GT PCI Graphics Controller chip. The PCI VGA features are:

2 MB SGRAM (not upgradable),
