Systems

Step 1 - Assess Application Requirements

Selection of system components must be made in the context of total application requirements. Although the configuration of system components must be done in steps (for example, base packages, CPUs, memories, etc.), these steps cannot be done in isolation.
The order in which requirements are assessed is also important, since one requirement may impact others. Before proceeding, it would be useful to assess the total application requirements in the following order:
What level of availability is required?
If no single points of failure are allowed, then the solution should be configured as a multi-system cluster.
If access to specific devices must be assured, consider redundant adapters - RAID, N+1 power, redundant PCI drawers, and redundant consoles.
If software redundancy is required, consider clusters and/or hardware partitioning. The choice of hardware partitioning will generate a need for multiple master PCI drawers, multiple consoles, and I/O adapters.
If the "CPU On-Line Add and Remove" feature is required, refer to document EK-GSHPG-RM for configuration and operational requirements.
What level of hardware partitioning is required for optimal system management?
What overall capacities are required in terms of processor performance, memory capacity, and disk storage?
How should the system be configured to optimize performance?
In most cases, optimum performance is achieved if the system resources (CPUs, memory, and I/O adapters) are balanced across the quad building blocks in the system.
Memory should be configured according to application guidelines listed in Step 4.
What are the near-term system expansion needs?
How will system cabinets be physically arranged? This will determine if expansion cabinets are required and what cable lengths are required.

NOTE: Most configuration steps require that these data be considered in whole or in part. Be sure to execute each step in the context of the total application requirements.

System Ordering Requirements:

Certain system components or services are either required for normal operation or are recommended for best system performance and/or operation. This document uses the following definitions to specify these options:

Mandatory purchase: The system cannot function without this option or service - the option or service must be ordered with the system.
Required to function: This option or service is needed to support a working system - the option or service must be ordered with the system or be available onsite.
Recommended: System performance or function will be enhanced if this option or service is ordered.

Step 2 - Select base system

AlphaServer GS160 systems require selection of the following items:

Mandatory Purchases: Base system with operating system license (either OpenVMS or Tru64 UNIX), which includes one 1224-MHz CPU module Minimum of one memory module

Required Options and Services: Software media and documentation for first system onsite Installation and/or startup services System management console or device and software with equivalent functionality

Recommended Services: HP Care Pack Service Package VIS Services
NOTE: The base system should be selected in the context of the number of hardware partitions required, the total capacity required, and the anticipated near-term system growth.

Model 16	OpenVMS	2 / 4	16	380-415V	DY-160CG-AB

Step 3 - Additional SMP CPUs

AlphaServer GS160 base systems contain one CPU module. Additional SMP CPUs may be added, up to the limits shown in above table. SMP CPU options include an operating system SMP license.
	GS160/320 SMP upgrade CPU, 6/1224-MHz with 16-MB on-board cache, Tru64 UNIX	3X-KN8AC-AD
	GS160/320 SMP upgrade CPU, 6/1224-MHz with 16-MB on-board cache, OpenVMS	3X-KN8AC-AE

HP Capacity on Demand (CoD) CPUs	AlphaServer GS160 base systems can be configured with optional HP Capacity on Demand (CoD) CPUs for non-disruptive future capacity expansion. The CPUs will be field installed as part of the system installation. The total number of CPUs – base CPU, SMP CPUs, and CoD CPUs – must adhere to the limits shown in the above table. Refer to the HP Capacity on Demand Program described in the "Upgrades" section.
	GS160/320 CoD SMP CPU, includes one 6/1224-MHz CPU module with 16-MB on-board cache, Tru64 UNIX SMP license, and CoD program license	3X-KN8CC-AD
	GS160/320 CoD SMP CPU, includes one 6/1224-MHz CPU module with 16-MB on-board cache, OpenVMS SMP license, and CoD program license	3X-KN8CC-AE

Options

Step 4 - Select Memory Options

Memory options are engineered specifically for use with this series and include additional components, which are integral to the system architecture. Memory options consist of a series of base modules that contain one memory array. A second array (called "upgrades" in the table) may be added to a base module in the factory or in the field.
	0.5-GB GS80/160/320 base memory module	3X-MS8AA-AB
	0.5-GB GS80/160/320 memory DIMM upgrade	3X-MS8AA-AU
	1-GB GS80/160/320 base memory module	3X-MS8AA-BB
	1-GB GS80/160/320 memory DIMM upgrade	3X-MS8AA-BU
	2-GB GS80/160/320 base memory module	3X-MS8AA-CB
	2-GB GS80/160/320 memory DIMM upgrade	3X-MS8AA-CU
	4-GB GS80/160/320 base memory module	3X-MS8AA-DB
	4-GB GS80/160/320 memory DIMM upgrade	3X-MS8AA-DU

Memory Configuration Guidelines
Memory options should be selected in the context of the application's sensitivity to memory bandwidth and memory capacity, and the number of hardware partitions. This will determine the number of memory base modules and upgrades needed. The total capacity required will determine the size of the arrays to be chosen. The configuration of memory may influence the performance of applications, and there are numerous ways to configure the choices of memory base modules and upgrade DIMMs. The following general guidelines can lead to several configuration choices. Application-specific guidelines will help narrow down the choices.

Configuring for capacity: The highest capacity is achieved when the 3X-MS8AA-DB/DU combination is used. Configuring for performance: Interleaved operations reduce the average latency and increase the memory throughput over non-interleaved operations. Each memory base module is capable of 4-way interleaving with one array (no upgrades added) or 8-way interleaving with two arrays (base module plus one upgrade). A QBB configured with eight arrays (four base modules plus four array upgrades) provides 32-way interleaving and has the maximum potential memory bandwidth. Refer to "Memory Application Examples" below to determine which applications gain the most benefit from this bandwidth. Memory modules should be configured in powers of 2: That is, 0, 1, 2, or 4 base modules in a QBB. Upgrades should also be installed in powers of 2: 0, 1, 2, or 4 base modules in a QBB. Although mixed-capacity memory modules may be configured, the highest bandwidth is achieved when a QBB is populated with eight identical arrays: four base modules, and four upgrades. The next-highest bandwidth would be four base modules (four arrays). If it is not possible to match the capacities of all the arrays, the next best choice is to configure pairs of identical base modules, or base module/upgrade combinations. For example, a configuration of two 2-GB base modules (3X-MS8AA-CB), each with a 1-GB upgrade (3X-MS8AA-BU), is a better choice than a configuration of three 2-GB modules (3X-MS8AA-CB).

Memory Application Examples
Configuring memory is a compromise between cost, total memory capacity, and memory bandwidth requirements. The behavior of the application must be used to define the most-desired configuration. Some applications are sensitive to memory capacity, some are sensitive to memory bandwidth, some are sensitive to neither. If actual application measurements are not available, the following may be used as guidelines:

Large memory (VLM) applications, in which large amounts of memory can substantially reduce I/O, may be optimized for total memory capacity and future capacity growth. In VLM applications, the right balance might be one memory base module, with upgrade, for every two CPUs. This would result in one memory array per CPU. Typical commercial applications, such as transaction processing (OLTP) and multi-user timesharing, usually operate efficiently from cache and may not be materially affected by memory bandwidth. Memory configuration is a balance between memory bandwidth and future capacity growth. It is advisable to match the number of arrays to the number of CPUs. Data mining can benefit from additional memory bandwidth. It is best to match the number of memory base modules to the number of CPUs. The most demanding high-performance technical applications (HPTC) achieve a performance level that is directly proportional to memory bandwidth. In these cases, configure one memory base module with upgrade per CPU. This results in two memory arrays per CPU.

The following table represents how 8 GB could be configured in a 4-CPU QBB in each of the four referenced applications. The numbers under each application represent how many of each memory option would be ordered.

Memory Configuration Examples – Configuring a system drawer with a total of 8 GB for specific applications
		Application
		VLM	OLTP, Timesharing	Data Mining	HPTC
1-GB base module	(3X-MS8AA-BB)	-	-	-	4
1-GB upgrade	(3X-MS8AA-BU)	-	-	-	4
2-GB base module	(3X-MS8AA-CB)	2	2	4	-
2-GB upgrade	(3X-MS8AA-CU)	2	2	-	-

The following additional configuration options utilizing the 4-GB base module are available:
4-GB base module	(3X-MS8AA-DB)	2	2	N/R	N/R
4-GB upgrade	(3X-MS8AA-DU)	-	-
NOTE: N/R = Not recommended - For these applications, configure either four or eight like-sized memory options rather than one or two.

Step 5 - Evaluate Configuration Requirements to Support Optional Partitioning

Configuration Requirements for Partitions
Configuring partitions requires some attention to detail with respect to minimum requirements for option selection, population, and option placement. A single AlphaServer GS160 can be divided into logical hardware partitions, each running an instance of Tru64 UNIX or an instance of OpenVMS. Each partition is allocated its own dedicated "shared-nothing" set of hardware resources: QBB(s), CPU module(s), memory module(s), and I/O. Multiple-QBB hard partitions within a GS server do not provide complete hardware failure isolation across hard partitions. Single hard partitioned QBBs within the server do provide hardware failure isolation. Each hardware partition is viewed as a unique node, from a system point-of-view, with its own instance of Tru64 UNIX or OpenVMS operating system and application software, independent system console, and error log. Hardware partitions are defined on QBB boundaries; each partition is an integer multiple of QBBs. Up to two hardware partitions are supported on GS160 Model 8 systems; up to four hardware partitions are supported on Model 16 systems. One system management console (3X-DS8BA-xx or 3X-DS8DA-xx) and one console hub (3X-DS8AA-AA) are recommended per system. Supported option rules apply for maximum configurations of each AlphaServer GS160 system partition. Care must be exercised to ensure that any planned reconfiguration of hardware partitions will not violate option support rules.

Minimum Hardware Required per AlphaServer GS160 Hardware Partition
Each hardware partition requires a minimum of one QBB, however, multiple QBBs are allowed within a single hardware partition. The first QBB in a hardware partition must be configured with the minimum hardware listed below. This, and other QBBs in the partition, can be configured with additional hardware once this minimum requirement is met.
One Alpha 21264 6/1224-MHz CPU module One 3X-MS8AA-BB/CB/DB memory module (1 GB, 2 GB, 4 GB) One 3X-KFWHA-AA system I/O module and one 3X-DWWPA-AA master PCI drawer. Depending upon the configuration, this may require the use of a 3X-H9A20-AD/AE/AF expansion cabinet. AlphaServer GS160 systems are normally configured according to standard module placement rules, and are shipped with one copy of the operating system installed at the factory (Tru64 UNIX or OpenVMS). However, systems with hardware partitions offer hardware and software configuration flexibility. Factory integration services (VIS) are recommended to enable custom module configuration and factory installation of multiple copies of the operating system on hardware- partitioned systems.

Optimizing System Resources
The following configuration guidelines can be used to improve performance in systems or in each partition of a hardware-partitioned system.
Balance the resources in the system (or hardware partition) based upon the available backplane space and the proposed option populations: Sparsely configured systems, those using half or less than half of their available capacity for CPUs, memory, and PCI drawers, should be configured with the options concentrated in as few QBBs as possible. For example, a GS160 Model 16 with eight CPUs, eight memory modules, and four PCI drawers would usually be configured in the first two QBBs. The first two QBBs would be "active" and the 3rd and 4th QBBs would be available for expansion. Densely populated systems, those using more than half of their available capacity for CPUs, memory, and PCI drawers, should be configured with the options spread out across all QBBs. Configure active QBBs symmetrically, each with CPUs, memory, and PCI drawers. Configure the I/O adapters so that each active QBB has direct access to the most frequently accessed data.

System Software Required for AlphaServer GS160 Hardware Partition Support
Software Licensing for Hardware Partitions
Base systems include operating system license (Tru64 UNIX or OpenVMS) that licenses hardware partitions up to the physical limit of the base system package: two hardware partitions for Model 8 systems, four partitions for Model 16 systems.
User and capacity-based licensing is unaffected by hardware partitions. Examples:
If a product is licensed for 200 concurrent users, these users can be split among the partitions, but cannot exceed 200 total users. If users have an enterprise capacity license for a product, that license can be loaded into the license databases on each of the hardware partitions.

Licensing Partitioned AlphaServer GS160 Systems for Both OpenVMS and Tru64 UNIX
If the system requires both OpenVMS and Tru64 UNIX operating systems be licensed, one operating system license is included in the base system and the second is added as a line item. The second operating system license upgrade, which includes the license for only one CPU, would be added to the order using the following part numbers. Order appropriate media and documentation kits from Step 13.
	OpenVMS software upgrade for GS160/GS320	QB-63PAQ-AG
	Tru64 UNIX software upgrade for GS160/GS320	QB-595AN-AA

Only those SMP processors intended for use with the second operating system must be similarly licensed. Use the following license-only part numbers to add an SMP license for any CPUs intended for use with the second operating system:
	OpenVMS Alpha SMP license for GS160/GS320	QL-MT1A9-6R
	Tru64 UNIX Alpha SMP license for GS160/GS320	QL-MT4A9-6R

The order of licensing is not important, but the following examples are similarly constructed for clarity. The configuration starts with a Tru64 UNIX base system part number and the addition of OpenVMS licenses.

Example 1: 16-CPU GS160 system in which all processors are licensed for both OpenVMS and Tru64 UNIX:
Base system order would include a DA-160CE-Ax and 15 3X-KN8BA-AD SMP upgrade CPUs Add one QB-63PAQ-AG OpenVMS Software Upgrade and 15 QL-MT1A9-6R OpenVMS Alpha SMP licenses

Example 2: 16-CPU GS160 system in which all the processors are licensed for Tru64 UNIX and eight processors are also licensed for OpenVMS:
Base system order would include a DA-160CE-Ax and 15 3X-KN8BA-AD SMP upgrade CPUs Add one QB-63PAQ-AG OpenVMS software upgrade and seven QL-MT1A9-6R OpenVMS Alpha SMP licenses User and capacity-based licenses would be added for the second operating system environment as though it were a standalone system.

Step 6 - Configure Packaging Options

Step 6a - Redundant (N+1) Power Supplies

Power supplies included with Model 8 and Model 16 systems can support all combinations of CPUs, memory, and I/O that can be configured within the system boxes. Additional 48V power regulators can be ordered to provide N+ 1 power redundancy. For Model 8 systems, order one power supply to achieve N+ 1 capability; for Model 16 systems, order two power supplies to achieve N+ 1 capability.
	2000W 48V power supply	H7506-BA

Step 6b - Internal System Expansion

AlphaServer GS160 Model 8 and Model 16 systems support two additional shelves in the power cabinet.
Available choices are: One additional PCI drawer (master or expansion) One additional PCI drawer (master or expansion) and one DS-SL13R-xx StorageWorks shelf, or One or two StorageWorks DS-SL13R-xx shelves Mixed configurations of BA36R and DS-SL13R-xx shelves are supported

Internal StorageWorks Expansion	System power cabinet provides space for up to two forward facing storage shelves. Up to two DS-SL13R-xx Ultra3 SCSI (LVD) shelves; each shelf supports a maximum of 14 Ultra3 disk drives

Configuring DS-SL13R-xx Ultra3 (LVD) Shelves	Each single-bus Ultra3 shelf requires a 3X-KZPCA-AA Ultra2 (LVD) SCSI adapter or DS-KZPCC-xx RAID controller and a SCSI cable to connect controller to shelf Each split-bus Ultra3 shelf requires two 3X-KZPCA-AA Ultra2 (LVD) SCSI adapters, at least one dual-channel 3X-KZPEA-DB Ultra3 (LVD) SCSI adapter, or DS-KZPCC-xx RAID controllers and SCSI cables to connect controller to shelf Ultra3 shelves connected to 3X-KZPCA-AA adapters in the power cabinet require BN38C-02 2-meter cables; DS-KZPCC-xx RAID controllers require BN37A-02 2-meter cables. Ultra3 shelves connected to 3X-KZPCA-AA adapters in an attached expander cabinet require BN38C-10 10-meter cables; DS-KZPCC-xx RAID controllers require BN37A-10 10-meter cables. Ultra3 shelves connected to 3X-KZPCA-AA adapters in a remote expander cabinet require 10 20-meter BN38C-xx cables, depending upon physical cabinet location; DS-KZPCC-xx RAID controllers require BN37A-xx cables. Ultra3 Universal drives are listed in a subsequent section

Power Option for DS-SL13R-xx Shelves	Additional power supply provides N+ 1 power for 4314R Ultra3 (LVD) StorageWorks shelves; power supply uses a dedicated location in the shelf. Not required for 4354R shelves.
	Redundant power supply for 4314R Ultra3 (LVD) StorageWorks shelf, North America	DS-SE2UP-BA
	Redundant power supply for 4314R Ultra3 (LVD) StorageWorks shelf, International	DS-SE2UP-BI

System I/O Expansion	Model 8 systems support up to four PCI drawers; Model 16 systems support up to eight PCI drawers. One PCI drawer included in Model 8 and Model 16 base systems. Model 8 and Model 16 power cabinets provide space for one additional PCI drawer if no more than one internal storage shelf is configured. Additional PCI drawers and storage shelves can be configured in 3X-H9A20-AD/AE/AF I/O expansion cabinet, described in a subsequent section. All PCI drawers contain 14 PCI slots configured into four PCI buses; two of the buses have four slots each, the other two buses have three slots each. There are two types of PCI drawers: expansion drawers and master drawers. Base system configurations include one PCI master drawer with 12 configurable PCI slots. Expansion drawers contain 14 PCI slots and N+1 redundant power system; expansion drawers are used for most PCI expansion applications. Optional master drawers contain 13 configurable PCI slots, N+1 redundant power system, plus the console ports and storage devices required for use as a system console. (These devices are listed on page 2. Note that the Fast Ethernet adapter is not included in optional master PCI drawers.) Optional master drawers have two applications: As redundant console sub-systems As consoles for individual partitions in hardware partitioned systems PCI drawers are connected to a QBB utilizing a 3X-KFWHA-AA system I/O module that connects to the PCI drawer using two BN39B cables.

PCI Drawer Expansion	PCI drawers are connected to a QBB utilizing a 3X-KFWHA-AA system I/O module that connects to the PCI drawer using two BN39B cables. Maximum one additional drawer in the system power cabinet; see "External Expansion Cabinets" for more details. PCI drawers can be split between multiple QBBs as long as all QBBs are contained within the same hardware partition. PCI drawers mounted in a common H9A20 Expansion Cabinet can server multiple systems.
	Master PCI shelf mount box for system and I/O expansion cabinets with standard I/O PCI module and 13 PCI expansion slots. (The 1st master is standard with all systems and includes a standard Ethernet network card and the system module and cable pair for connection to the QBB.)	3X-DWWPA-AA

Step 6c - External Expansion Cabinets

Additional PCI drawers and storage shelves can be installed in optional 3X-H9A20-AD/AE/AF expansion cabinets. Up to four 3X-H9A20-AD/AE/AF cabinets are supported. 3X-H9A20-AD/AE/AF I/O expansion cabinet can be configured to hold all disk BA36R StorageWorks shelves or DS-SL13x-xx Ultra3 StorageWorks shelves or combination of StorageWorks shelves and PCI drawers. If no PCI drawers are configured, cabinet supports up to eight BA36R or five DS-SL13R-xx StorageWorks shelves. If one PCI drawer is configured, cabinet supports up to five BA36R or four DS-SL13R-xx StorageWorks shelves. If two PCI drawers are configured, cabinet supports up to four BA36R or three DS-SL13R-xx StorageWorks shelves. If three PCI drawers are configured, cabinet supports up to two BA36R or two DS-SL13R-xx StorageWorks shelves. If four PCI drawers are configured, the cabinet supports one BA36R or DS-SL13R-xx StorageWorks shelf. BA36R and DS-SL13R-xx StorageWorks shelves can be combined in the same expansion cabinet.

	Black I/O expansion cabinet for use with GS160 systems, includes two 120V single-phase power controllers and cords for use in US and Canada - Does not support dual AC input configurations	3X-H9A20-AD
	Black I/O expansion cabinet for use with GS160 systems, includes two 220-240V single phase power controllers and cords for use in Europe – Supports dual AC input configurations	3X-H9A20-AE
	Black I/O expansion cabinet for use with GS160 systems, includes two 200-240V single phase power controllers and cords for use in US, Canada, and Japan – Supports dual AC input configurations	3X-H9A20-AF

If large quantities of disks are required, the use of StorageWorks Storage Array cabinets and components is highly recommended. Systems installed in the US and Canada may use the 3X-H9A20-AD when 120V input power is required. In all other cases, the 3X-H9A20-AF is preferred because of the ability to support dual AC input. 3X-H9A20-AD/AE/AF cabinets may be joined to GS160 systems. PCI drawers placed in these cabinets require 7-meter I/O cables. 3X-H9A20-AD/AE/AF cabinets may be placed up to 6 meters from the system cabinet. Multiple expander cabinets may be connected to one another or placed separately. Each group of free-standing H9A20 cabinets requires an end-panel trim kit (CK-H9A20-AB). PCI drawers placed in remote cabinets require 10-meter I/O cables.

	Black end-panel trim kit for remote 3X-H9A20-AD/AE/AF cabinets	CK-H9A20-AB
	I/O module cables for connection between I/O module and master or expansion PCI drawers mounted in 3X-H9A20-AD/AE/AF expansion cabinet adjacent to the system; two cables (BN39B-07 or BN39B-10) are mandatory per PCI drawer.	BN39B-07
	I/O module cables for connection between I/O module and master or expansion PCI drawers mounted in a second expansion cabinet or in remote 3X-H9A20-AD/AE/AF expansion cabinets; two cables (BN39B-07 or BN39B-10) are mandatory per PCI drawer.	BN39B-10

Step 7 - Storage

Step 7a - Storage Adapters and Controllers

Tru64 UNIX supports a maximum of 64 total SCSI controllers per operating system instance (hardware partition). OpenVMS supports a maximum of 26 total SCSI controllers per operating system instance. Total SCSI controllers (all types) in the system must be within these limits regardless of the maximum per system I/O adapter limitations. Refer to the "Supported Options List" for specific configuration rules.
Each master PCI drawer contains embedded SCSI controllers (a FIS disk and a CD), which is included in the overall count of SCSI controllers configured in the system (or partition). Tru64 UNIX counts FIS disk and CD-ROM as an embedded SCSI device. OpenVMS counts the FIS disk only as an embedded SCSI device. Therefore, one (OpenVMS) or two (Tru64 UNIX) SCSI controllers per master PCI drawer must be included in the total count of SCSI devices in the system.
Calculating the total number of SCSI controllers in the system (or partition) is done by adding all the devices in the system that the operating system categorizes as a SCSI device. Tru64 UNIX includes the following devices in this count: KZPBA-CA, KZPBA-CB, 3X-KZPBA-CC, 3X-KZPCA-AA, DS-KZPCC-CE, DS-KGPSA-CA., DS-KGPSA-DA Fibre Channel, and two embedded master PCI components per master PCI drawer. OpenVMS includes the following devices in this count: KZPBA-CA, KZPBA-CB, 3X-KZPBA-CC, 3X-KZPCA-AA, 3X-KZPEA-DB, DS-KZPCC-AC, and one embedded master PCI component per master PCI drawer.
For cluster configurations, use Y cable (BN39A-0G).
Manufacturing may substitute correct cable lengths depending on configuration.

NOTE: "Per System" quantities apply to systems or to each hardware partition. The SCSI adapters included in the base system or in 3x-DWWPA-AA master PCI drawers must be included in this calculation.

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.

Step 9 - MEMORY CHANNEL

Up to two PCI System Area Network controllers supported on a GS160 partition 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-AABA in each node. For a two-node cluster that will not 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 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 additional CCMLB-AA line cards If two or more CCMAB-BA controllers are configured in each node (dual rail), a second CCMHB-AA hub is required If using a MEMORY CHANNEL adapter module (54-24962-01) prior to revision D02, up to two MEMORY CHANNEL adapters can be placed on a PCI bus, however, no additional PCI devices can be placed on the same PCI bus, and the remaining slots must be left empty

Tru64 UNIX Systems (V5.1 and later) in Clusters using MEMORY CHANNEL Interconnect	Each system in the cluster requires a TruCluster Server software license (QL-6BRAQ-AA) Alternately a TruCluster Plus Software package including licenses for: TruCluster Server, Logical Storage Manager, and AdvFS Utilities can be ordered (QP-6R9AQ-AA)

OpenVMS Systems in Clusters using MEMORY CHANNEL Interconnect	Requires OpenVMS V7.2-1H1 or later and OpenVMS Cluster license (QL-MUZAQ-AA)

MEMORY CHANNEL Fiber Optic Cable Option	In cases where nodes must be separated by a longer distance 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. The 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 connection. Customers should reference the TIA/EIA 568-A Commercial Building Telecommunications Cabling Standard, Section 12.3.4. Fiber optic connectivity is completely transparent to the systems using it and has no performance impact. Up to two CCMHB-AA hubs may be mounted in a 3X-H9A20-AD expansion cabinet by utilizing a 2T-MAVRK-AA rack-mounting kit for each hub. A second MEMORY CHANNEL Hub (CCMHB-AA or CCMHM-BA) mounted in an expansion cabinet reduces the amount of StorageWorks shelves by one.

	NOTE: MEMORY CHANNEL hubs mounted in 3X-H9A20-AD cabinets do not require additional power cords.

Step 10 - System Console Support

System Management Console	AlphaServer GS160 systems require the ability to log console messages, provide remote access for service and support, and, in some cases, manage multiple hardware partitions. The system management console is mandatory if the customer has no other means to provide these capabilities. PC-based system management console is required for system power-up, diagnostics, console partitioning, and console display and logging for use with AlphaServer GS80/160/320 systems. Includes network interface cards, universal modem, console software, 101-key keyboard, mouse, and console documentation kit A monitor is required for use with the system management console. Choose monitor listed in Step 12. Systems configured with redundant consoles or employing hardware partitioning require the ability to connect multiple consoles. A console hub is mandatory if the customer has no other means to provide these capabilities. A console printer is recommended, but not required.

Step 15 - Recommended Online Power Protection Solution for AlphaServer GS160

A dual-AC power option provides the capability to connect to two separate synchronized AC feeds: a primary AC feed and a secondary AC feed. The feeds can be direct from the power utility, or they can be a combination of utility feeds and UPS or generator feeds. The preferred (primary) feed is chosen and set by the user. In the event of failure of the primary feed, the switch will automatically transfer the load to the secondary feed without power interruption. The selected AC feed can also be switched manually. The option cabinet must be positioned adjacent to the system power cabinet and it is bolted to it. Power requirements for the dual AC power option are identical to the system to which it is connected. The dual-AC switch option can be factory configured or installed as a field upgrade. The primary and secondary 3-phase AC sources must be nominally of the same level, frequency and phase rotation. To ensure virtually uninterrupted transfers between the two AC sources, the two input sources must be synchronized, typically within 5 to 15 electrical degrees. Questions regarding the dual-AC option can be answered by an environmental specialist at 1-800-354-9000. The primary and secondary 3-phase AC sources must have a THD of less than 10%.

The dual-AC power option consists of two component types:

One AC switch configured within an H9A20 cabinet (3X-H7512-AC/AD). The cabinet has dedicated mounting space for a second AC switch that is not included. A second electronic AC switch (3X-H7512-BA/BB) that mounts within the 3X-H7512-AC/AD cabinet. AlphaServer G160 Model 8 systems require the 3X-H7512-AC/AD, only. AlphaServer GS160 Model 16 systems require both the 3X-H7512-AC/AD and the 3X-H7512-BA/BB.

NOTE: 3X-H9A20-AE/AF expansion cabinets include N+1 power on separate power controllers and may be directly connected to two different AC feeds.

HP Capacity on Demand (CoD) Program

AlphaServer GS160 customers can add additional CPU capacity on demand without waiting to purchase the resource when it is required and without re-booting their system. The HP Capacity on Demand Program, outlined below, is a two-part process.

Part 1	Customer purchases a system with Tru64 UNIX or OpenVMS CoD SMP CPU(s) (3X-KN8CA-AD or 3X-KN8CA-AE), or customer purchases Tru64 UNIX or OpenVMS CoD SMP CPU(s) for field installation within an installed AlphaServer GS160 system. When purchasing the CoD CPU(s), the customer signs a CoD program agreement to purchase the CPU module(s) within 18 months or upon "first use" of the module(s) A blank copy of the agreement is available through your local HP representative or call 1-800-282-6672 -- Full program terms are outlined in this agreement.

Part 2

The customer will be invoiced for the CPU module(s) upon notification by the customer of "first use" or expiration of the 18-month period.

NOTE: CoD CPUs are field installed. Field installation on existing systems is not included in the CPU option price.

GS160/320 CoD SMP CPU, includes one 6/1224-MHz CPU module with 16-MB on-board cache and Tru64 UNIX SMP license for use under the CoD program terms

3X-KN8CC-AD
