System Board
System Board 1-1
1.1 Features
The system board consists of the I/O subsystem for the M9L system.
It contains an exclusive connector for the CPU board that comprise the
host subsystem.
This high-performance 64-bit system board utilizes both the ISA and
the PCI local bus architecture. Two ISA and five PCI bus slots reside
on the board to allow installation of either master or slave devices.
A 50-pin Fast SCSI-II interface and two 68-pin Wide SCSI interfaces
come with the system board to connect SCSI devices. External I/O
interfaces include a parallel port and a video port, RJ-45 and two USB
connectors, and keyboard and mouse ports.
The system board supports two optional features, the ASM Pro and
the remote diagnostic management (RDM), that allow better server
management. The ASM Pro detects problems in CPU thermal
condition, CPU working voltage detection (±12V/±5V/3.3V/1.5V), and
PCI bus utilization calculation. It also detects if the CPU fan or the
chassis fan malfunctions. The RDM allows execution of the RDM
diagnostic program from a remote RDM station to fix detected
problems or to reboot the system.

1.5 ESD Precautions
Always observe the following electrostatic discharge (ESD)
precautions before installing a system component:
1. Do not remove a component from its antistatic packaging until
you are ready to install it.
2. Wear a wrist grounding strap before handling electronic
components. Wrist grounding straps are available at most
electronic component stores.
Do not attempt the procedures described in
the following sections unless you are a
qualified technician.

1.6 Video Memory Upgrade
Larger video memory allows you to display higher resolutions and
more colors. The system board comes with a 1-MB video memory
onboard upgradable to 2 MB.
Follow these steps to upgrade the video memory:
1. Locate the video DRAM upgrade sockets labeled U36 and U37
on the system board. See Figure 1-1.
2. Gently insert a video chip into each of the upgrade sockets.
Make sure that the pin 1 indicator on the chip
matches the notched corner of the socket.

1.7 ASM Pro
The ASM Pro is a server management tool based on the Simple
Network Management Protocol (SNMP). It detects server problems
related to the CPU thermal condition, 5V/3.3V/1.5V detection, or PCI
bus utilization calculation.
This feature is designed primarily for server supervisors and
management information system (MIS) personnel to help them detect
errors or potential trouble spots in their network servers through a
single management station.
The ASM Pro consists of two major parts:
•ASM-Station - a Windows-based monitoring station that
communicates with the ASM-Agents.
•ASM-Agent(s) - the individual servers managed by the
ASM-Station.
Refer to the ASM Pro user’s manual for more information.

1.8 Remote Diagnostic Management
The Remote Diagnostic Management (RDM) is a network
management tool that utilizes modems and telephone lines to control a
host of servers from a remote station. It monitors and analyzes the
server condition, updates the BIOS settings if necessary, or reboots
the server in the event of failure and quickly return it to normal
operation. This capability to execute the RDM program from a remote
site bridges the distance barrier in fixing server problems and reduces
wasted time due to system failure.
1.8.1 Installing the RDM Module
The system board comes with connectors CN6 and CN7 to
accommodate the RDM module.
Follow these steps to install the RDM module and connect the cable:
1. See Figure 1-1 for the location of the RDM connectors.
2. Gently insert the RDM module into CN6 and CN7. The module
fits only in one direction. Do not force it into to the connectors.
Figure 1-4 Installing the RDM Module
Refer to the RDM User’s Guide for detailed instructions on RDM
installation.
