2.2 Core Competences
2.2.1 Engineering
TAG’s engineering methodology is built upon Multi-Disciplinary Optimization (MDO) and
rigorous design reviews. Although PMs drive the schedule at TAG, Engineering leverages
Computer-Aided Design (CAD) tools, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modeling, rapid
prototyping processes, and diverse test equipment and facilities to ensure requirements are being
met at every step of the design. TAG Engineering follows a proven design-review process,
ensuring all entrance and exit criteria are met at each stage. Rigorous documentation is compiled
to demonstrate requirement compliance, risks are mitigated, and decisions are prudent
throughout the design process.
TAG prides itself on its engineering laboratories
and facilities. Over the past three years, TAG has
invested in several pieces of equipment that allow
TAG to test and certify products directly onsite to
the harshest environmental requirements of
military standards including the MIL-STD-810F
and DO 160D.
TAG’s onsite test equipment currently includes a
Highly Accelerated Lifecycle Testing (HALT)
Chamber, an Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)
test chamber, and a high-/low-temperature
thermal test chamber. TAG’s facility also provides:
A floor plan designed to support a cellular manufacturing model with modular assembly
lines
A dedicated 24-hour system burn-in room
A modern production status tracking and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system
with external web collaboration capabilities
Dedicated Quality Assurance workstations for system compliance and validation
inspection
2.2.2 Manufacturing and Integration
TAG implements Cellular Manufacturing processes through our compartmentalized, state-of-the-
art production facility to minimize waste byproducts and maximize production efficiency.
TAG’s manufacturing facility is physically partitioned to model the major philosophies of Lean
Manufacturing. Consistent with the model, each of TAG’s production cells are capable of
operating in isolation; however personnel and tools are shared across all cells to streamline
manufacturing operations, costs, and the production/integration scheduling. TAG’s floor

Version 1.0. 08/25/2010
technicians are cross-trained in multiple disciplines so they can be redistributed to any cell that
encounters production bottlenecks, which ensures optimal efficiency.
2.2.3 Lifecycle Management
TAG’s world-class Program Management discipline models the renowned methodologies of the
Project Management Institute (PMI) to ensure successful completion of the task at hand. Our
Program Managers (PMs) serve as the voice of the customer driving requirements to which the
rest of TAG’s organization answers. As an explicit tenet of TAG’s corporate mission statement,
the PMs not only track cost, schedule, and technical compliance throughout a project’s period of
performance, but also ensure the customer is supported well beyond it.

3 About This Manual
3.1 Scope and Audience
This manual provides information on the Model
SV-2000-IX server. The Model SV-2000-IX
Server/Workstation allows for up to 2 cores in a
2U chassis as well as up to 4GB of RAM. SV-
2000-IX server features Core 2 Duo processor
to maximize processing performance, while
reducing power dissipation.
The Model SV-2000-IX is ideal for transit case
and deployable situations where such high
density computing minimizes size, weight, and
power.
3.1.1 Organization:
This manual is divided into the following
chapters and appendix:
Chapter 1 Cautions and Warnings when
handling the SV-2000-IX Server/Workstation.
Chapter 2 provides detailed information on the
external and internal server components.
Chapter 3 provides procedures for replacing
hot-swappable and LRU components, as well
as for replacing or adding system memory.

5.3 Server Components
This section provides an overview of the most
common components installed in TAG tactical
servers. Information is also provided on how to
identify specific components within your server.
For detailed information on the specific
components installed in your server, refer the
manufactures website.
5.3.1 Motherboard Model and Type
The version of an Intel server motherboard can
be determined by decoding the last three digits
of the board part number.
For example: For the product C44686-703, the
number following the "-" is as follows:
7 = Fabrication (FAB) Number
03 = Revision 3.
The board part number can be found on the
motherboard. The board part number can also
be determined by using Intel Server
Management software.
