The System Unit
The Origin 350 server provides massive processing, storage, and throughput capabilities
to satisfy large production requirements. They are built from a scalable node architecture,
enabling small configurations that can be incrementally upgraded to the larger
configurations. Each Origin server can be configured as a single module or as multiple
modules with a single system image.
The following list provides an overview of the SGI Media Server models:
Model 325 Model 325 consists of a single Origin 350 base compute module and
supports a maximum of two digital video cards.
Model 345 Model 345 consists of an Origin 350 base compute module and a 2U-high
PCI-X expansion module (PX2U). Model 345 supports a maximum of
four digital video cards (four A/V channels).
Model 365 Model 365 consists of an Origin 350 base compute module, a compute
expansion module, and a PCI-X expansion module (PX2U module).
Model 365 supports a maximum of six digital video cards (six A/V
channels).
Model 385 Model 385 consists of an Origin 350 base compute module and a 4U-high
PCI expansion module (PE-brick) and supports a maximum of eight
digital video cards.
Table 1-3 compares the various models.
