Compaq AlphaServer ES40 Systems The Compaq AlphaServer ES40 system is a high perform- Tru64 UNIX, OpenVMS, and Linux operating systems. The ance, scalable enterprise server for business, technical, AlphaServer ES40 system integrates into your current and scientific applications. With its flexible design, it can operating environment and anticipates future needs with go in an office environment or computer room.
ES40 Workstation For more information about the chip, see: The system is also offered as a workstation and is called the http://www.compaq.com/alphaserver/download/ev6chip.pdf. AlphaStation ES40. Alpha 21264 Features Third-Generation Alpha Chip Out-of-order instruction execution...
Model Variants Chassis, Tower View AlphaServer ES40 systems are offered in two models. The In the tower enclosure, the chassis is rotated 90 degrees, with entry-level model provides connectors for four DIMMs on the control panel and removable media bays keeping their each of the memory motherboards (MMBs) and connectors for same horizontal position as in the pedestal/rack system.
Architecture C-chip. Provides the command interface from the CPUs This system is designed to maximize the potential of the and main memory. Although there is only one C-chip in Alpha 21264 chip. The traditional bus interconnect has been the system, it allows each CPU to do transactions replaced by a switch-based interconnect system.
System Board The interconnect switch is implemented on the system board One corner of the board holds logic for the remote by the chipset consisting of one C-chip, two P-chips, and eight management console (RMC). D-chips. This complex chipset provides the data and address path between the CPUs, memory, and the I/O subsystem.
Processor Configuration Rules Processor Module The first CPU module is installed in CPU slot 0. An AlphaServer ES40 can have up to four CPU modules. Additional CPUs are installed in the next available slot. In addition to the Alpha chip, the CPU module has an 8-Mbyte CPUs must be identical in speed and cache size.
Memory Options Memory Configuration Each memory option consists of four 200-pin industry- A memory option (or set) consists of four DIMMs, and all standard DIMMs. The DIMMs are synchronous DRAMs. four DIMMs must be the same size. The Model 1 system supports up to four memory options (16 Fill sets in numerical order.
The PCI bus implementation has the following characteristics: System I/O Fully compliant with the PCI Version 2.1 Specification Two industry-standard PCI I/O buses allow you to use Operates at 33 MHz, delivering a peak bandwidth of 500 inexpensive, widely available I/O options. Both 32-bit and MB/sec;...
Operational Management installed. Each cage requires its own SCSI adapter. Server/Network Management. Compaq Insight Manager is included with every system. This software tool allows you to Storage shelves can be either BA36R StorageWorks shelves or monitor and control Alpha based servers.
Disk hot swap. Error Reporting Compaq Analyze, a diagnostic service tool used to determine System Features the cause of hardware failures, is installed with the operating Auto reboot. On systems running Tru64 UNIX or OpenVMS, a systems.
Error handling. Parity and other error conditions are detected PCI to Memory Channel Interconnect on the PCI buses. The memory checking scheme corrects Under Tru64 UNIX and OpenVMS, you can build high-avail- single-bit errors and detects double-bit errors. Multiple ECC ability clusters using the PCI to Memory Channel intercon- corrections to single-bit errors detected by the operating nect.
