Step 3: Configure the I/O Because none of the domains requires many I/O cards,
the most any domain needs is a single IOU board. Domains 3, 4, and 5 will have
one IOU to match the CMU. Domains 1 and 2 are not as simple. Because the
shared board is needed only for memory and CPUs, the shared CMU does not
require that the associated IOU be present.

Domain 1: Needs only IOU#0, which will house the boot disks. Cards should
be placed to get their own PCIe switch, if possible. Place the same type of card
in different IO bays in the IOU. This gives redundancy across the Oberon
ASICs: one for the top four slots, the second for the bottom four slots.

■

PCIe#0: Base I/O card (part SEMY7BSIZ ). This provides control of Disks
0 and 1, and access to the internal DVD. This card also provides two GbE
ports.

■

PCIe#1: Empty.

■

PCIe#2: Dual-port 8 Gb FC Card (part SG-XPCIE2FC-QF8-Z ).

■

PCIe#3: Empty.

■

PCIe#4: Dual-port GbE Card (part 7281A-2 ).

■

PCIe#5: Empty.

■

PCIe#6: Dual-port 8 Gb FC Card (part SG-XPCIE2FC-QF8-Z ).

■

PCIe#7: Empty.

Domain 2: Needs only IOU#2, which will house the boot disks. Cards should
be placed to get their own PCIe switch, if possible. Place the same type of card
