Motherboard
The Hypercomputer expansion board is installed in a high-end Intel based workstation, with a Tyan motherboard, model S2721-533, described as follows:

Dual 2.4 GHz Xeon chipset
4 GB Registered DDR200 system memory
Two 64-bit 133/100/66 MHz (3.3-volt) PCI-X expansion slots
One 64-bit 100/66 MHz (3.3-volt) PCI-X slot
One 32-bit 33 MHz (5-volt) PCI slot
          (The HC-62 board assembly is installed in slot number 2. This allows only one 64-bit PCI-X slot
          and one 32-bit slot for expansion.)
Integrated I/O (serial, parallel, PS/2 keyboard and mouse, 2 USB ports)
Two 70 GB hard drives
DVD/CD
Integrated LAN controllers
          (Three RJ-45 LAN connectors with LEDs)
Intel 82546EB dual-channel Gigabit Ethernet controller with LEDs
Two RJ-45 LAN connectors
Connected to independent 133 MHz PCI-X bus
Intel 82551QM Fast Ethernet 100 Mbits/sec controller
One RJ-45 LAN connector with LED

Chassis Dimensions: 4U 19" rack mount chassis: 19" by 26.5" by 7"

System Power Supply

Power Supply Specifications (MR3-6460P)

Output Voltage	Output Current Max	Special Notes
3.3 V	28 A	3.3 V & 5 V not to exceed 50 A
5 V	50 A	3.3 V & 5 V not to exceed 50 A
12 V	32 A	3.3 V, 5 V & 12 V power not to exceed 460 W

The input air temperature of the power supply cannot exceed 40 degrees Celsius. AC inrush current is specified at 35 Amps/70 Amps for 115 VAC/230 VAC, respectively.

Power Supply Summary
Total power available – 460 Watts
5- and 3.3-Volt Power Used – 200 Watts
12-Volt Power Used – 156 Watts
Power Available using 12 Volts – 100 Watts

If HC power for auxiliary devices is required, 8 Amps at 12 Volts is available for external use. A cable extender is available to provide connection to the 12-Volt supply. This is typically done with a “Y” cable commonly used in PCs to connect the power supply to the hard drives/floppy drives/CD drives.
