and dynamic resource allocation for all attached peripherals. Most major operating systems provide USB drivers and should require no special procedures for implementation or use.

One RJ-45 Ethernet connector with two LEDs. The green LED shows that the system is communicating with the network and the yellow LED shows that communication is occurring at 100 Mbps.

Processor subsystem

The system board supports as many as two processors (CPUs). The board provides several additional connectors for supporting components, as described in the following paragraphs.

Processors and processor slots

Depending on the model, the system is equipped with one Intel Pentium® II

Xeonprocessor with 512-KB, 1-MB, or 2-MB ECC L2 cache, integrated into a single edge contact (SEC) cartridge.

The system SMP design supports up to two processors and is Intel MP Specification v1.1 and 1.4 compliant.

Processor fan connectors

The processor fan connectors provide power for the fans mounted on the processor heatsinks. These fans cool the processors and prevent overheating. Note that not all processor heatsinks have or need fans. If the processor heatsink includes a fan, connect it to the correct fan connector.

Important!

Processor slot 1 is the boot processor slot. In a single processor configuration, the processor must be installed in processor slot 1 and a terminator card must be installed in processor slot 2.
