...not related to this article, but so cooooool   :-)
a nice Beowulf cluster with a few 3000 of these nice barebones
follow this link: space-simulator.lanl.gov

     



inside views:


the drive rack:
- one internal 3"1/2 for a first harddrive
- one external 3"1/2 for a floppy drive or internal 3"1/2 for a second harddrive
- one external 5"1/4 for a DVD/CDROM drive


the motherboard:



- motherboard: Shuttle FS51 (see above) - for Pentium 4 (or Celeron) 478 pins
- processor: P4B 2.4GHz (Northwood, 0.13µ, 1.5V, L2 cache 512KB, FSB 533MHz, MMX, SSE, SSE2)
- RAM: DDR 512 MB - PC 2700

- floppy: nope but free slot
- hardrive 1: IBM 9 GB IDE
- hardrive 2: Maxtor 60 GB IDE
- DVD drive: Pioneer 16X/40X IDE

- sound: SiS7012 / Realtek ALC650 - AC'97, 5.1
- graphic: SiS315 / SiS651 - 32MB RAM shared memory (chipset weak in 3D... think AGP slot)
- USB 1.1/2.0: 6 ports, but 4 connectors "only"
- USB 1.1: SiS7001 - OHCI, 1.5 and 12Mbit/s
- USB 2.0: SiS7002 - EHCI, 480Mbit/s
- Firewire: VIA VT6306 - IEEE1394, 400Mbit/s
- network: Realtek RTL8139 - Fast Ethernet, 100Mbit/s
- parallel: 1 slot, no connector but available apart
- serial: 2 connectors
- SPDIF: 2 ports




The chipset:
SiS651 = Northbridge
SiS962L = Southbridge
note: "L" as "Light" maybe, SiS962L does not have the Firewire nor the network controllers




we will see later when Linux is installed:

BIOS configuration

1) Standard CMOS features


2) Advanced BIOS features

  - First Boot Device = Floppy
  - Second Boot Device = CDROM
  - Third Boot Device = HDD-0
  - Typematic Rate Setting = Enabled
  - Typematic Rate (Chars/Sec) = 30
  - Typematic Delay (Msec) = 250
  - APIC Mode = Disabled   (heard that it causes problem with Network chipset...)

3) Advanced Chipset features


4) Integrated peripherals

> SIS OnChip PCI Device
  - USB Port Number = 4 ports   (because 2 are not connected)

> Onboard SuperIO Device
  - Onboard Serial Port2 = Disabled   (no need for now...)
  - Onboard Parallel Port = Disabled   (no need for now...)

5) Power Management Setup


6) PnP/PCI Configuration


7) PC Health Status


8) Frequency/Voltage Control

  - CPU:DRAM Clock Ratio = 1:1
  - CPU Clock = 133   (because P4B 2.4 GHz, FSB 533MHz, clock 133MHz)
  - DRAM Frequency = 2 x 133   (DDR-RAM PC2700)
