AlphaServer 1000A Pedestal–Rackmount–Cabinet
V96-1.4—20 Sep 96
Digital Systems and Options Catalog
Product Description

The AlphaServer 1000A is an Alpha microprocessor server, available in
266-MHz and 300-MHz versions, with 2 MB ECC cache, available in three
packages, deskside wide-tower Pedestal, Rackmount, and Cabinet systems..
Customers have a choice of three popular operating systems: Digital UNIX
(V3.2.D-2), OpenVMS (V6.2-1H2) and Microsoft Windows NT Server (V3.51).
The AlphaServer 1000A 5/300 offers the following high-reliability features: heat
sensor, fan failure and power supply sensors, dual Fast Narrow/Wide SCSI
backplane and ECC memory.
Advanced server management features are provided with all AlphaServer 1000A
shipments via the bundled ServerWORKS Manager kit. The kit includes Simple
Network Management Protocol (SNMP) agents for Windows NT V3.51 and
Digital UNIX V3.2D. The SNMP agents for OpenVMS will be available with
the next release of TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS. The management console
software runs on a Windows PC and the SNMP agents are installed on the
AlphaServer. The SNMP agents collect critical server information including
system status, I/O information, storage and disk information and network status
information. Thresholds can be set to monitor key server events and alarms are
forwarded to the ServerWORKS console. Additionally, remote management can
be handled via a simple serial link.
•

The AlphaServer 1000A Pedestal System offers up to 10 internal storage
devices including a floppy diskette drive and a CD-ROM, one 5.25-inch bay
for an optional removable media drive, and seven hot swap StorageWorks
wide or narrow disk drives. The system supports up to 1 GB of memory and
over 30 GB of internal storage with seven 4.3 GB disks.

•

The AlphaServer 1000A Rackmount and Cabinet System offers up to 6
internal storage devices including a floppy diskette drive and a CD-ROM,
one 5.25-inch bay for an optional removable media drive, and three wide
and/or narrow disk drives. The system supports up to 1 GB of memory and
over 12.9 GB of internal storage with three 4.3 GB disks.

The following are integrated on the system motherboard: fast wide single-ended
SCSI-2 controller, diskette controller, SVGA controller, two serial ports, one
parallel port, and keyboard and mouse controller.
High reliability features, combined with simple management features, make the
AlphaServer 1000A ideal for organizations with little or no MIS support.
Business-critical applications can run unattended and the management features
provide early indications of potential system failures.
