Step 11 Console Terminal Required unless terminal is available onsite.
. .
. .
• VT console terminal with EIA-232 25-pin DSUB connector is required, (even with KFE72 installed) for system
. .
. .
power-up, diagnostics and console display; order unless otherwise available.

Step 12 Graphics Support for Tru64 UNIX
. .
. .
. . • Graphics support for GS140 and 8400 running Tru64 UNIX V4.0D or later can be provided through the
. .
combined use of KFE72-EA port option and the SN-PBXGB-TL graphics adapter.
. .
. .
• SN-PBXGB-TL requires 17 or 21 Professional Series monitor and keyboard for graphics support unless
. .
. .
available onsite
. .
. .
• Selection of video extension cable and country-specific power cord required for all monitor variants
. .
. .
• EISA or ISA options are not supported on KFE72-EA subsytem
. .
. .
Graphics console subsystem for Tru64 UNIX systems, includes diskette drive and mouse; KFE70-
. .
. . AA and KFE72-EA are not supported concurrently on the same system; however, either option
. .
can be used to run RAID Configuration Utility (RCU).

. .
. .
. .
. . Step 13 Tru64 UNIX and OpenVMS Partitions Optional
. .
. .
• A single GS140 can be divided into a maximum of three logical hardware partitions. Each partition is allocated
. .
. . its own set of hardware resources CPU, memory, I/O module. Partitioning support requiresTru64 UNIX
. .
V4.0F or later, or OpenVMS V7.2 or later operating system and partitioning licenses.
. .
. .
• System Console Firmware Revision 5.4 or later required
. .
. .
• Each partition requires a minimum of one CPU module, one memory module, one I/O module, and one DWLPB
. .
. .
(PCI and PIU shelf) per partition.
. .
. .
• Each partition must have a dedicated console terminal. The first partition will obtain this support in a standard
. .
. . manner via the server console panel. The second and third partition requires a KFE72-DA to obtain this
. .
console support. H8571-J adapter is required to connect KFE72-DA to the console terminal;
. .
. .
KFE72-DA does not include a diskette drive, which is required to support RAID Configuration Utility (RCU).
. .
. . Order KFE72-EA if a floppy or graphic support is required.
. .
. . • For more information regarding Tru64 UNIX V4.0F partitioning configuration hardware guidelines and console
. .
partition commands, see Tru64 UNIX V4.0F SPD 41.61.22 and Tru64 UNIX V4.0F System Administration

. .
. . • Existing AlphaServer 8400 users can upgrade their system to an AlphaServer GS140 level system that
. .
supports hardware partitions with a CPU upgrade (dual Alpha 21264 6/525 or 6/700 MHz CPU modules),
. .
. .
Operating System upgrade (Tru64 UNIX V4.0F), and System Console Firmware Revision 5.4 or later;
. .
. . additional hardware may be required to support hardware partitions.
