FT4200 'Discovery' Motherboard Layout (Rev 1.13.1)

 



Memory

Server memory is located in two memory banks on the motherboard. Fully loaded, these banks provide 2 Gbytes of common high-speed memory for the server. Each bank can hold 1, 2, or 4 ECC Dual In-line Memory modules (DIMMs). All DIMMs in a bank must be the same. There are advantages in fitting two or four DIMMs into a bank as two way and four way interleave become available.

Note FAST & WIDE SCSI
SCSI was originally developed as a bus that transferred up to 5 Mbytes per second: this bus was 8 bits wide. The transfer rate was doubled to 10 Mbytes per second and the term FAST was introduced. The 8 bit bus was then developed into a 16 bit bus which doubled the transfer rate to 20 Mbytes per second and this development was called WIDE. Hence the term FAST & WIDE SCSI on Shogun.
80 Pin SCSI Drive Technology
The Shogun uses an SCA connector ( Single Connector Attachment ) on the SCSI disk drive interface. This 80 pin SCA connector includes the 16 bit wide SCSI bus plus the DC power and ID addressing, allowing optimum engineering access for the Shogun HOT PLUG technology.
