PCI Configuration Guidelines
  • Modules designed for 5.0 V signaling and 33-MHz bus speed can only operate in 5.0 V/33-MHz slots
  • Modules designed for 3.3 V signaling and 66-MHz bus speed can only operate in 66-MHz slots
  • Universal PCI modules can operate in all slots (3.3 V and 5.0 V)
  • Universal PCI modules operating at 33 MHz placed in a 66-MHz slot will reduce the entire hose to operate at 33 MHz
  • Universal PCI modules capable of operating at 66 MHz when placed in a 33-MHz slot will operate at 33 MHz
  PCI Module Descriptions:
  • PCI modules listed in this document as 33 MHz or 66 MHz refer to the module's maximum PCI bus speed.
  • Modules that can only operate at 5 V are designated as 5 V – 33-MHz modules.
  • Universal PCI modules are designated as 3.3/5 V and can be installed into 33-MHz or 66-MHz slots.

 

AlphaServer ES45 systems provide four I/O hoses, each is configured differently as illustrated in the following charts for Models 1B, 2B, and 3B.

Step 2 - Additional CPU Modules - Optional

  • One CPU included, three additional CPUs are supported
  SMP upgrade, includes one 68/1000-MHz CPU with 8-MB cache and Tru64 UNIX SMP license KN610-DB
  SMP upgrade, includes one 68/1000-MHz CPU with 8-MB cache and OpenVMS SMP license KN610-DC
  SMP upgrade, includes one 68/1250-MHz CPU with 16-MB cache and Tru64 UNIX SMP license KN610-EB
  SMP upgrade, includes one 68/1250-MHz CPU with 16-MB cache and OpenVMS SMP license KN610-EC
  NOTE: Minimum firmware for 1.25-GHz systems is V6.2-8, minimum SROM firmware is V2.22-F. Firmware files are available at: http://ftp.digital.com/pub/Digital/Alpha/firmware/interim/es45/v6.2C/  
  NOTE: Existing AlphaServer ES45 1-GHz Model 2 (xx-68DAA-xx) customers who upgrade to 1.25-GHz CPUs should continue to follow Model 2 configuration guidelines. The following options are required: H7906-A9 power supply and MS620-AA, MS620-BA, and MS620-CA memory options. Do not order 3X-H7514-AA power supplies or MS5620-DB memory options.  


Step 3 - Memory - Optional

  • Base systems do not include memory; select a minimum of 1-GB memory; this is a mandatory selection. All other systems include one memory option.
  • Maximum four memory options (total of 16 DIMMs) for Model 1B (one per array)
  • Maximum eight memory options (total of 32 DIMMs) for Model 2B and Model 3B (two per array)
  • AlphaServer ES45 system includes two memory buses
  • AlphaServer ES45 system includes two arrays per bus
  • For Model 2B and Model 3B, memory options within an array must be identical
  512-MB memory option (4 x 128-MB DIMMs) MS620-AA
  1-GB memory option (4 x 256-MB DIMMs) MS620-BA
  2-GB memory option (4 x 512-MB DIMMs) MS620-CA
  4-GB memory option (4 x 1024-MB DIMMs) MS620-DB
  NOTE: Do not order MS620-DB memory option for installation in ES45 1-GHz Model 2 (xx-68DAA-xx) system. MS620-DB memory option can only be installed in (xx-6xDBA-xx) and (xx-6xEBA-xx) systems.  

Memory performance considerations:

  • The AlphaServer ES45 system has two memory buses. When two or more memory options are installed, both buses are utilized, enhancing system performance.
  • The AlphaServer ES45 system has two arrays per bus. Interleaved operations reduce the average latency and increase the memory throughput. When all four arrays are populated with the same amount of memory, read-write operations are four-way interleaved, enhancing system performance.
The following examples illustrate different ways of configuring a 4-GB system. Case C yields the best performance and is the recommended method for configuring memory on an AlphaServer ES45 system.

ES45 System
(one memory option included)
Add-on Memory Options Total Memory Total DIMMs Performance
Case A - DA-68EBA-DA (MS620-DB) None 4-GB 4 Good
Case B - DA-68EBA-CA (MS620-CA) MS620-CA 4-GB 8 Better
Case C - DA-68EBA-BA (MS620-BA) MS620-BA + MS620-BA + MS620-BA 4-GB 16 Best*
* NOTE: Operating system and application dependent. Up to an 18% performance enhancement has been measured in Case C over Case A.

Step 9 - Memory Channel - Optional

Tru64 UNIX Systems (V5.1A) Each system node in the cluster requires a TruCluster software license
(QL-6BRAE-AA) or TruCluster Plus Software Package (QP-6R9AE-AA)
 

OpenVMS Systems OpenVMS V7.3 and OpenVMS Cluster license (QL-MUZAE-AA) are required  

Configuring Information
  • Memory Channel adapters (CCMAB-BA) must be configured in 5-volt PCI slots.
  • Up to two PCI-to-System Area Network adapters (CCMAB-BA) are supported in a single system.
  • Two-node clusters can be configured by ordering a CCMAB-BA for each node and one BN39B-04 or BN39B-10 cable; cable connects directly to CCMAB-BA in each node.
  • Two-node clusters can also be configured by ordering two CCMAB-BA adapters for each node and two BN39B-04 or BN39B-10 cables; cables connect directly to CCMAB-BA in each node.
  • For a two-node cluster that will not need to be rebooted when adding additional members, order one CCMAB-BA adapter and one BN39B-04 or BN39B-10 cable for each node, and one CCMHB-AA hub for the cluster.
  • For three- or four- node clusters, order one CCMAB-BA adapter and one BN39B-04 or BN39B-10 cable for each node, and one CCMHB-AA hub for the cluster. If two CCMAB-BAs are configured in each system, a second CCMHB-AA is required.
  • 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 four CCMLB-AA line cards.
  • If nodes must be separated by a distance longer than standard copper cables allow the CCMFB option converts the output of the standard CCMAB controller or CCMLB line card to single-mode fiber optic cable. The fiber optic connection may be up to 2,000 meters long between two CCMAB controllers connected in virtual hub mode, or 3,000 meters between a CCMAB controller and a CCMHB hub. (The connection from the CCMHB hub to a second system may also be 3,000 meters.) The CCMFB option requires a second PCI slot in the system from which it draws power only. It is normally connected to the corresponding CCMAB controller with the short BN39B-01 cable. The CCMFB is also used in the CCMHB hub where it occupies a slot normally used by the CCMLB line card, limiting expansion to four radial fiber optic connections.
  • CCMHB-BA hub expansion box provides additional slots for up to eight fiber optic connections. Two standard length single-mode fiber optic cables are available (BN34R-10 and BN34R-31); however, users normally provide this fiber optic connection. Fiber optic connectivity is completely transparent to the systems using it and has no performance impact.
NOTE: When configuring Model 1B or Model 2B with two Memory Channel Controllers (CCMAB-BA) installed in hose 0 only, all nodes in a Memory Channel cluster must have the window size jumper set to the same size, specifically 128. When configuring Model 3B with two Memory Channel Controllers (CCMAB-BA), all nodes in a Memory Channel cluster must have the window size jumper set to the same size, specifically 128; Memory Channel Hub must be installed on a different hose (hose 0, 1, or 2). Refer to the TruCluster QuickSpecs for Memory Channel details.

HVD to LVD Converters

HVD (High Voltage Differential) adapters and LVD (Low Voltage Differential) devices are normally incompatible due to their different signaling voltage levels. This incompatibility does not allow direct communication between the different technologies. The HVD to LVD converter allows connectivity between legacy HVD Host Bus Adapters and today's LVD devices. The converter provides:

  • Connectivity in direct attach or shared configurations of all currently available LVD devices, including disks, tapes, libraries, and shelves (4314 or 4354) when used with the KZPBA-CB and 3X-KZPBA-CC HVD adapters. With the retirement of StorageWorks 1 disks and HVD shelves (BA36R), converters are desirable where upgrades to LVD HBAs, or upgrades to current operating system versions are not possible.
  • Shared and direct attach configurations are interconnected much the same as those previously configured with homogeneous HVD solutions, except that the HVD output is now passed through the converter before proceeding to the LVD device. Where required, Y cables (BN21W-0B), terminators (H879-AA), cables (BN38C-10, BN37A-20), one or two HVD/LVD converters (one-port, two-port), Memory Channel adapters (CCMAB), one Memory Channel cable (BN39B-10), are used in conjunction with the LVD device of choice.
