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 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. • 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) and one 731-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: • Priority Service Plan • 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.

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, 6/731-MHz with 4-MB on-board cache, Tru64 UNIX 3X-KN8AA-AD GS160/320 SMP upgrade CPU, 6/731-MHz with 4-MB on-board cache, OpenVMS 3X-KN8AA-AE Compaq Capacity on Demand (CCoD) CPUs AlphaServer GS160 base systems can be configured with optional Compaq Capacity on Demand (CCoD) 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 CCoD CPUs – must adhere to the limits shown in the above table. Refer to the Compaq Capacity on Demand Program described in the “Upgrades” section. GS160/320 CCoD SMP CPU, includes one 6/731-MHz CPU module with 4-MB on-board cache, 3X-KN8CA-AD Tru64 UNIX SMP license, and CCoD program license GS160/320 CCoD SMP CPU, includes one 6/731-MHz CPU module with 4-MB on-board cache, 3X-KN8CA-AE OpenVMS SMP license, and CCoD program license DA-10642-01-006 — 12.11.2000 QUICKSPECS Compaq AlphaServer GS160 Options .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. 5 Step 4 − Select Memory Options • Memory options are engineered specifically for use with this series and include additional components that 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. 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 2-GB GS80/160/320 memory DIMM upgrade 4-GB GS80/160/320 base memory module 4-GB GS80/160/320 memory DIMM upgrade 3X-MS8AA-CB 3X-MS8AA-CU 3X-MS8AA-DB 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 Applications 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.

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 GS160 can be divided into logical hardware partitions, each running an instance of Tru64 UNIX V4.0G or Tru64 UNIX V5.1, or an instance of OpenVMS V7.2-1H1. Each partition is allocated its own dedicated “sharednothing” set of hardware resources: QBB(s), CPU module(s), memory module(s), and I/O. • 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) and one console hub (3X-DS8AA-AA) are required per system. • Supported option rules apply for maximum configurations of each 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 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 6/731-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 an H9A20-AA/AB/AC 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 V4.0G, Tru64 UNIX V5.1, or OpenVMS V7.2-1H1). 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.

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 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 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-160CC-Ax and 15 3X-KN8AA-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-160CC-Ax and 15 3X-KN8AA-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.

In all other cases, the H9A20-AC is preferred because of the ability to support dual AC input. • H9A20-AA/AB/AC cabinets may be joined to GS160 systems. PCI drawers placed in these cabinets require 7-m I/O cables. • H9A20-AA/AB/AC 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 endpanel trim kit (CK-H9A20-AA). • PCI drawers placed in remote cabinets require 10-m I/O cables. End-panel trim kit for remote H9A20-AA/AB/AC cabinets CK-H9A20-AA I/O module cables for connection between I/O module and master or expansion PCI drawers mounted BN39B-07 in H9A20-AA/AB/AC expansion cabinet adjacent to the system; two cables (BN39B-07 or BN39B10) are mandatory per PCI drawer. I/O module cables for connection between I/O module and master or expansion PCI drawers mounted BN39B-10 in a second expansion cabinet or in remote H9A20-AA/AB/AC expansion cabinets; two cables (BN39B-07 or BN39B-10) are mandatory per PCI drawer. Step 7 − Internal Storage PCI UltraSCSI Controllers • Tru64 UNIX 4.0G or Tru64 UNIX V5.1 supports a maximum of 64 total SCSI controllers per operating system instance (hardware partition). Support for these controller quantities will be phased-in. OpenVMS 7.2-1H1 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-ROM connected to the STD-IO), which is included in the overall count of SCSI controllers configured in the system (or partition). Tru64 UNIX counts FIS disk and CDROM 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, DS-KGPSA-CA Fibre Channel, and two embedded master PCI components per master PCI drawer. OpenVMS includes the following devices in this count: KZPBA-CA, KZPBA-CB, 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.

Tru64 UNIX Systems (V5.1 and later) • Each system in the cluster requires a TruCluster Server software license (QL-6BRAQ-AA) Tru64 UNIX Systems (V4.0G) • Requires Tru64 UNIX V4.0G with TruCluster V1.6 • Each system node in a MEMORY CHANNEL cluster requires a TruCluster Production Server (QB-3RLAQ-AA) or TruCluster MEMORY CHANNEL (QB-4ZCAQ-AA) software license • TruCluster MEMORY CHANNEL license (QB-4ZCAQ-AA), normally used for high performance technical computing applications, not required if systems include a TruCluster Production Server license (QB-3RLAQ-AA) OpenVMS Systems • 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 an H9A20-AA expansion cabinet by utilizing a 2T-MAVRK-AA rackmounting kit for each hub. Each CCMHB-AA hub mounted in an expansion cabinet replaces the space that is available for one PCI drawer.

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-AA/AB). 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-AA/AB cabinet. • AlphaServer G160 Model 8 systems require the 3X-H7512-AA/AB, only. • AlphaServer GS160 Model 16 systems require both the 3X-H7512-AA/AB and the 3X-H7512-BA/BB. Note: H9A20-AB/AC expansion cabinets include N+1 power on separate power controllers and may be directly connected to two different AC feeds.

Compaq Capacity on Demand (CCoD) 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 Compaq Capacity on Demand Program, outlined below, is a two-part process. Part 1 Customer purchases a system with Tru64 UNIX or OpenVMS CCoD SMP CPU(s) (3X-KN8CA-AD or 3X-KN8CAAE), or customer purchases Tru64 UNIX or OpenVMS CCoD SMP CPU(s) for field installation within an installed AlphaServer GS160 system. When purchasing the CCoD CPU(s), the customer signs a CCoD program agreement to purchase the CPU module(s) within 12 months or upon "first use" of the module(s) A blank copy of the agreement is available at http://www.compaq.com/alphaserver/cod 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 12-month period. Notes: CCoD CPUs are field installed.
