Re: VRM for SGI 320
|
|
|
To follow up on my own message, I bought a Celestica 073-20770-45 Rev A
VRM off of ebay for $8. This VRM works in 5v or 12v systems and has a
spec of 8.4. I installed it in my SGI 320 and it works great.

It
looks like the 320 takes a VRM with a 12v input. There are VRMs that
are 12v and 5v/12v. There is an incomplete table at:
http://www.frontlinemedia.de/sgi320/vrm.html that I interpret to say

There are various VRMs for sale on e-bay. Will the following
VXI/Celestica work in a SGI 320 with 1 GHz processors?
073-20742-30 various Revs.
073-20742-45 Rev. E or Rev G.

Is the "SGI rescue disks (1-4 processor version)" different than the SGI
recovery disks?
If so, how do I get one of these?
I'm having trouble with a fresh drive in a 540.

upgrade to Win2kPro and install hangs at 14%. I might install Norton
System Works and do a disc analysis to see what that shows. BTW is NT
on the 320 able to support twin 1Gb processors or does Win2kPro have to
be installed first before changing the processors out? Prom is 1.1005.

Your install problem sounds like what this machine was doing
when I had a bad sector on a disk
NT had found and marked it, but it hung the install of 2000
I used the onboard low-level fomatting to no avail still hung on
install. I finally changed to another drive, bingo, I still use the
defective drive, I just created 2 partitions surrounding the bad
area.
hope this helps

Tom,
The VRM I got from VRM sales a couple years ago is: Celestia
073-20772-01 Rev A. Only problem is I never have been able to get a
stable Win 2K Pro installed. I have had dual 450's, 500's. First
had
NT then upgraded to Win2KPro running a couple times but not very
stable
at all. I even installed all the SGI upgrades needed. Now when I
try
and install Win2KPro it either hangs on install (usually at 12% as
it
is now again for the second time today!!) or gives me that s**t blue
screen stop error physical memory dump, blah, blah, blah. Not at
the
same time in install either. I have had nothing but problems with
it.
I am using 007 B motherboard now as my 117 B motherboard died. I
even
have 1 gig processors to install and just get one problem after
another. Richard

I've had similar install problems in the past, but as I had slipstreamed
service packs into the installer discs I had SP2 and SP3 discs as well.
I put one of the other discs in and off it went. If you have access to
another install disc give it a try

Richard, |
I think this has been discussed already a few times on newsgroups, but
if all you want is run Windows 2000 on your 320, there is no need for
WinNT in the first place, just start from the Win2K CD right away... |

Well, a quick rummage through my 320 spare parts box says none of
the above. The correct Celestica number is 073-20772-01, label also has
"8.2/.3/.4 - 12 Volt" on it. I also remember paying $61.00 US for it
from vrmsales.com not that long ago. That URL may have changed but I
think the old one quoted here still links to it. As for fleabay, hehe,
spend $150.00 on some other used VRM's and let us know which ones work
for the 1 GHz duallies, OK?
Just kidding, and I think if you get that Celestica number that the
rev. levels don't mean doodly-squat. This one I'm looking at is an "A",
but I think any rev. of the right number should work.
