The PDSGE is based on Intel’s 955X chipset. See Figure 1-1 for a block diagram
of the chipset. The 955X chipset is made up of two main components:
The Memory Controller Hub (MCH)
The I/O Controller Hub (6300ESB)
Memory Controller Hub (MCH)
The MCH includes the host (CPU) interface, memory interface, I/O controller hub in-
terface, CSA interface and AGP interface. It contains advanced power management
logic and supports dual-channel (interleaved) DDR memory, providing bandwidth of
up to 6.4 GB/s using DDR-400 SDRAM. The MCH supports the following front side
bus/memory bus configurations: 800 MHz FSB with a 400/333 memory interface, a
533 MHz FSB with a 333/266 memory interface and a 400 MHz FSB with a 266 MHz
memory interface. The AGP interface supports 8x data transfers and operates at a
peak bandwidth of 2.1 GB/s. The CSA (Communications Streaming Architecture)
interface connects the MCH to a Gigabit Ethernet controller.
I/O Controller Hub (6300ESB)
The 6300ESB ICH controller hub provides the I/O subsystem with access to the rest
of the system. It integrates two Serial ATA (SATA) host controllers, a dual-channel
Ultra ATA/100 bus master IDE controller, an SMBus 2.0 controller, the LPC/Flash
BIOS interface, the PCI-X (66MHz) 1.0 interface, the PCI 2.2 interface and the System

Chapter 2
System Installation
2-1 Overview
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperWorkstation 5035G-
T up and running. Following the steps in the order given should enable you to
have the system operational within a minimal amount of time. If your system is
not already fully integrated with a motherboard, processor, system memory etc.,
please turn to the chapter or section noted in each step for details on installing
specific components.
2-2 Unpacking the System
You should inspect the box the SuperWorkstation 5035G-T was shipped in and note
if it was damaged in any way. If the server itself shows damage, you should file a
damage claim with the carrier who delivered it.
Decide on a suitable location for setting up and operating the SuperWorkstation
5035G-T. It should be situated in a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated.
Avoid areas where heat, electrical noise and electromagnetic fields are generated.
You will also need it placed near a grounded power outlet.
Once the SuperWorkstation 5035G-T is placed in the appropriate location, slide the
locking tabs on each caster down to keep it stationary.
!!
Warnings and Precautions!
- Ensure that the caster wheels on the workstation are locked.
- Review the electrical and general safety precautions in Chapter 4.
- Use a regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect the server from
power surges, voltage spikes and to keep your system operating in case of a power
failure.
-Allow the power supply units and hot-swap Serial ATA drive to cool before touching
them.
- To maintain proper cooling, always keep all chassis panels closed and all SATA
carriers installed when not being serviced.

SUPERWORKSTATION 5035G-T User's Manual
2-3 Setting Up the System
You should first open the left side panel (when facing the front of the chassis)
to make sure the motherboard is properly installed and all connections have been
made.
Checking the Motherboard Setup
1. Accessing the inside of the System (Figure 2-1)
Begin by removing the two screws from the back lip of the side cover (this is the
left cover when looking at the chassis from the front.) Grab the handle and gently
pull the side cover out to release it from its position. Once the side cover is out of
its position, slide the cover out of the chassis.
2. Check the CPU (processor)
You may have one processor already installed into the system board. The processor
should have its own heatsink attached. See Chapter 5 for instructions on processor
installation.
3. Check the system memory
Your system may have come with system memory already installed. Make sure all
DIMMs are fully seated in their slots. For details on adding system memory, refer
to Chapter 5.
4. Installing add-on cards
If desired, you can install up to seven add-on cards to the system. See Chapter 5
for details on installing PCI-E/PCI-X/PCI add-on cards.
5. Check all cable connections and airflow
Make sure all power and data cables are properly connected and not blocking the
airflow. See Chapter 5 for details on cable connections.

SUPERWORKSTATION 5035G-T User's Manual
Checking the Drive Bay Setup
Next, you should check to make sure the peripheral drives and the Serial ATA drive
and Serial ATA backplane have been properly installed and all essential connec-
tions have been made.
1. Accessing the peripheral drive bays
To install or remove a component in the 3.5" and/or 5.25" drive bay(s), you will
need to remove the side chassis cover. See the installation and removal sec-
tions for the peripheral drives in Chapter 6.
2. Check the Serial ATA disk drives
Depending upon your system's configuration, your system may have up to four
Serial ATA drives already installed. If you need to install or remove an SATA
drive, please refer to the appropriate section in Chapter 6.
3. Check the airflow
Cooling air is provided by a 9-cm internal cooling fan and a 12-cm exhaust fan.
The system component layout was carefully designed to promote sufficient
airflow throughout the chassis. Also note that all power and data cables have
been routed in such a way that they do not block the airflow generated by the
fan. Please keep this in mind when rerouting or adding/removing cables.
4. Supplying power to the system
The last thing you must do is to provide input power to the system. Plug the
power cord from the power supply unit into a high-quality power strip that offers
protection from electrical noise and power surges. It is recommended that you
use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
