PoP - Syracuse University Physics Computational Cluster

Installation photo-log - inside a node

Inside looks pretty much like any other PC box. There are a set of drive bays at the from (right of photo), some expansion cards in slots at the back (lower left of photo, video and network cards), and two large Pentium II processor modules (top left of photo, see below).

The two processor modules, each with a large heatsink and fan, are the guts of each node (and a large fraction of the cost!). The memory (two 64MB SDRAM DIMMs) can be seen just right of the two processor modules.
Back to the main photo-log.
