This document is a quick reference card for the Compaq AlphaServer DS10, outlining essential operational and technical details.

Key information includes:

• Safety Warnings: Important precautions against electrical shock (grounding, accessible outlets), thermal hazards (waiting after power-off), and static discharge, emphasizing access by technically trained personnel only.
• Specifications: Detailed environmental specifications (temperature, humidity, altitude, non-operating shock), mechanical specifications (dimensions, weight, and ventilation requirements), and basic electrical guidelines (power supply setting, power cord securing).
• System Indicators & Diagnostics: Explanations for front panel buttons and LEDs (e.g., Halt, Environmental, Temperature, Fan, Disk Activity, Power), Ethernet LEDs (link, speed, activity), and a list of beep codes for diagnosing common errors (firmware, ROM, memory).
• Configuration & Management: Guidance on checking PCI slot and memory configurations using SRM console commands (show config, show memory), along with DIMM installation rules.
• Console Commands: Comprehensive lists of SRM (System Reference Manual) console commands and Remote Management Console (RMC) commands, enabling users to control system operation, display configuration and status, perform diagnostics, manage passwords, handle firmware updates, and manage the system remotely (e.g., power control, alerts).
• Acoustics: Preliminary data on acoustic noise levels (LwAd and LpAm) for different hardware configurations in idle and operating states.
• Further Resources: Directions to other AlphaServer documentation and a Compaq website for more detailed information.
