PCI-Based I/O Hardware<br />

The PCI cards can consume a maximum of 25 watts each, drawing power from either<br />

the 3.3 volt or the 5 volt rails, or both, as long as the sum of both does not exceed<br />

25 watts for each card.<br />

1.1.3. <strong>Dorado</strong> <strong>800</strong> Series<br />

The <strong>Dorado</strong> <strong>800</strong> series has the following configuration:<br />

• Cells ranging from a single cell with 4 IPs to 8 cells with 32 IPs<br />

• Maximum memory of 256 GB<br />

• Support for internal I/O and external I/O using PCIOP-M cards (SIOP, CIOP, XIOP)<br />

<strong>Dorado</strong> <strong>800</strong> Series I/O Configuration<br />

<strong>Dorado</strong> <strong>800</strong> utilizes the I/O Manager Module PCIOP-Ms for the storage (SIOP-M) and<br />

communication IOPs (CIOP-M), and the PCIOP-E for the initial delivery of the XIIP (also<br />

called XIOP). The PCIOP-E cannot be used for storage or communication IOPs.<br />

The I/O Manager is a 4U module that consists of two PCIOP-Ms. Each of the PCIOP-<br />

Ms can be a storage IOP (SIOP-M) or communications IOP (CIOP-M) or future XIOP-M.<br />

The PCIOP-M consists of the I/O processing engine and slots for up to six PCIe add-in<br />

cards (NICs or HBAs). The PCIOP-M connects to the rest of the <strong>Dorado</strong> <strong>800</strong> system<br />

through the Host Card installed in the Internal or Remote I/O Module. The Host Bridge<br />

card is simply a PCI-X to PCIe bridge, with no processing logic.<br />
