AGP 4x mode transfers data at twice the speed of AGP 2x mode, which is itself twice the speed of the basic AGP 1x mode. This is achieved by multiplying the 66 MHz AGP clock frequency, so that four packets of data are transferred on each cycle (transfers on both rising and falling edges of the clock speed).
Page 32 2 System Board Accessory Card Slots If an AGP Pro card ( 25 W and 50 W) is installed, then the PCI slot 1 is made inaccessible as defined in the AGP Pro specification (PCI slot must be left unoccupied to provide its sources, in terms of cooling and electrical power, to the AGP Pro card.

Page 39: Main Memory Controller
AGP PCI Bus Implementation Universal Connector Main Memory Controller The main memory controller is integrated in the MCH supporting two primary rambus channels (A and B). DRAM Interface The MCH provides optional Host bus error checking for data, address, request and response signals. Only 300 MHz and 400 MHz Direct Rambus devices are supported in any of 64, 128 or 256 Mb technology.
Page 40 2 System Board Memory Controller Hub (8240) The following table shows the number of Rambus devices and memory technology available on a memory module. Number of devices 64 Mbits per RIMM 128 MB module MCH also provides optional data integrity features including ECC in the memory array.
Page 41 The actual memory array is on a Memory Expansion Card installed in a Memory Expansion Card Connector (MECC) located on the system board. On the HP Kayak XU800 PC Workstation there are two types of Memory Expansion Cards supporting the following configurations:...
Page 42 2 System Board Memory Controller Hub (8240) Four-DIMM Memory Four DIMM sockets support SDRAM 100 MHz unbuffered ECC memory Expansion Card modules installed in pairs. Unused DIMM sockets can be left free. The MCH supports one Rambus Memory Hub for SDRAM (MRH-S) per connected channel.
Page 43 Read/Write Buffers The MCH defines a data buffering scheme to support the required level of concurrent operations and provide adequate sustained bandwidth between the DRAM subsystem and all other system interfaces (CPU, AGP and PCI). System Clocking The MCH operates the host interface at 100 MHz or 133 MHz, PCI at 33 MHz and AGP at 66/133 MHz.

Page 107: Tests And Error Messages
Tests and Error Messages This chapter describes the MaxiLife firmware test sequences and error messages, the Power-On-Self-Test (POST) routines, which are contained in the computer’s ROM BIOS, the error messages which can result, and the suggestions for corrective action. MaxiLife Test Sequence and Error Messages When the PC Workstation is turned on (pressing the ON/OFF button), the system initiates the normal startup sequence which is composed of the following steps:...
Page 108: Basic Pre-Boot Diagnostics
6 Tests and Error Messages MaxiLife Test Sequence and Error Messages Basic Pre-boot Diagnostics The first diagnostic (called basic pre-boot diagnostics) is run to check the presence of the processor(s) or terminators, VRMs, power supply, CPU Board PLL and memory. The pre-boot diagnostic tests are run in order of priority with respect to their importance to computer functions.
Page 109: Post Test Sequence And Post Error
The following table shows the test sequence carried out, the type of error message, and the action to take. Test Presence of either a processor or processor terminator Control of some voltages: VRMs, 12V, 3.3V, 1.8V, 2.5V Check the system board clock generators (PLL). Post Test Sequence and Post Error In this phase, MaxiLife waits for any error messages that the BIOS may issue.

Page 123: Error Message Summary
Error Message Summary The Error Message Utility or EMU (.COM application written in C language) is to provide full screen online help messages (localized) on most common POST errors. In the event of an error generated in POST (Power-On-Self- Test) during the boot process, there are two beeps, then the Error Setup Manager gives access to one or more detected errors.
