Genesis MP Configurations
The Genesis MP comes in several configurations, allowing flexibili-
ty to meet any production need. Genesis MP configurations are
distinguished by the number of PCI slots (initial models have three
or six slots), and the aggregate clock speed of the processors on
the nPOWER processor card (for example, the Genesis MP 528
has 4-132 MHz processors; 4 x 132 = 528).
DIMM sockets provide for RAM expansion, and with PCI expan-
sion card slots, users can create their own “ultimate workstation”
using the latest technology such as SCSI-3, Fast Ethernet, even
professional quality audio/video capability.
The number of PCI slots, number of DIMM expansion slots/maxi-
mum RAM expansion, processor speed, storage configuration and
other features vary by unit. Consult the Genesis MP User Guide
for information on specific features.
