Local and Wide Area Communications
Servers/Network Connectivity Products
Each communications server requires 802.3/Ethernet
connection. Depending on server selected, either
ThinWire BNC type connection (e.g., BC16M
cable) or thick wire 15-pin AUI transceiver cable
(e.g., BNE3x) is required. Additional items also
required—see the Network Products Guide.

MEMORY CHANNEL

Up to two PCI System Area Network controllers are
supported on GS60E with Console Firmware V5.5-
x or later.
Tru64 UNIX Systems
Requires Tru64 UNIX V4.0F with TruCluster V1.6 or
later
3X-DAPCA-FA
Each system node in a MEMORY CHANNEL cluster
requires a TruCuster Production Server
(QB-3RLAG-KA) or TruCluster MEMORY
CHANNEL (QB-4ZCAG-AA) software license.
TruCluster MEMORY CHANNEL license
(QB-4ZCAG-AA), normally used for high-
performance technical computing applications, is
not required if systems include a TruCluster
Production Server license (QB-3RLAG-KA).
The following options are currently not supported with
MEMORY CHANNEL: DJ-ML200, CIPCA.
OpenVMS Systems
Requires OpenVMS V7.1-2 or later and OpenVMS
Cluster license (QL-MUZAG-AA)
2-node clusters can be configured by ordering a
CCMAB-AA for each system and one BN29B-04
or BN29B-10 cable; cable connects directly to
3X-DAPBA-UA
CCMAB-AA in each system.
SN-PBXNP-AC
For three or four system clusters, order one CCMAB-
AA adapter and one BN29B-04 or BN29B-10
cable for each system and one CCMHB-AA hub
for the cluster.
CCMHB-AA includes four CCMLB-AA line cards and
supports up to four nodes; expansion up to eight
system nodes can be achieved by adding up to
PBXDA-AA
four additional CCMLB-AA line cards
If two or more CCMAB-AA controllers are configured
in each system, a second CCMHB-AA hub is
required for clusters with more than two nodes; in
PBXDA-AB
2-node clusters the CCMAB-AA may be directly
connected.
