2: System Setup

A Four-Channel Model 345 System or a Six-Channel Model 365 System

For both Model 345 and Model 365, Table 2-9 shows the internal PCI slot layout for the

Origin 350 base compute module. The base compute module houses two video cards.

For a four-channel Model 345 system, place the two additional video cards on bus 1 of

the PCI expansion module (PX2U).

For a six-channel Model 365 system, place the additional four video cards on bus 1 and

bus 2 of the compute expansion module.

A Maximum Eight-Channel System (Model 385)

Table 2-10 shows the recommended layout for the PE brick on SGI Media Server

conﬁgurations for the Origin 350 base unit.

The bus and slot information is printed on back of the PE brick just above each slot. The

xtalk/slot numbers are available by using the command vtrhwinfo. Each

PCI-VIDAUD-MSB-B board will report its xtalk/slot number and the table in this section

can be used to ﬁnd the appropriate bus/slot number. This applies for all other cards as

well.
