The RVP902 main chassis is available in a variety of forms, depending on
the customer requirements. A standard RVP900 system is packaged in a
SuperMicro SuperChassis 825MTQ-R700UB which contains at least the
following:
- Dual Intel Xeon Quad Core CPU
- Two 500 GB Hard Drives
- 8 GB RAM
- 1 PCI Expansion Slot (used with RCP8 combination)
- DVD/CDROM Drive
- 2 USB, and 1 DB9 Serial on the front panel
- 2 USB, and 1 DB9 Serial on the back panel
- PS/2 KB and Mouse ports on the back panel
- 4 Full-height Expansion Slots
- 3 Low-profile Expansion Slots

There is an LED display panel on the front of the chassis that is used to
report system status.
3.3.2 Power Requirements, Size, and
Physical Mounting
The standard RVP902 chassis is a 19 in, EIA, 2U rackmount unit, 18 in
(45 cm) deep. The chassis is usually mounted in a nearby equipment rack
on rack slides (provided as standard). A shielded Ethernet cable is provided
to connect the IFDR to the main chassis.
The power requirements are 100 VAC to 240 VAC, 50 Hz to 60 Hz, 10–4
Amps. There are dual-redundant power supplies, with two line cords.
3.3.3 Power-Up Details
When the RVP902 is powered-up or reset, the host Linux PC goes through
an automated boot process that ultimately starts the RVP902 application.
The RVP902 then runs extensive internal diagnostics. In most cases, there
is no display connected to the RVP902 to monitor the boot sequence. For
troubleshooting, it is useful to connect a display to view any error
messages, or you can view the startup log in /usr/iris_data/log/rvp9.log.
