Step 5—Storage
Internal Disk Storage Assembly
•

•

Included storage assembly supports eight 3.5-inch disk
drives.
One additional storage assembly in system enclosure
supports an additional eight 3.5-inch disk drives.
Additional storage assembly requires an additional power
supply (see Step 7).
Internal storage assemblies are normally configured for
split-bus (two buses), four drives per bus. By reversing
the positions of the terminator and jumper plugs, internal
storage assemblies can be reconfigured for single-bus
operation with a maximum of seven disk drives per
storage assembly.
Manufacturing normally configures internal storage
assemblies in split-bus mode. If there are not enough
storage controllers to support the number of internal disk
drives ordered, manufacturing will configure the internal
storage assemblies for single-bus mode.
Internal storage assembly drive slots are physically
interleaved with electrically contiguous drives in every
other slot.

•

Internal storage assemblies support 8-bit (narrow) and
16-bit (wide) modes of operation.
- For Wide mode, select controllers and disk from
Step 5a.
- For Narrow mode, select controllers and disks from
Step 5b.
- Internal storage assemblies can be configured for splitbus mode to support wide mode on first bus and
narrow mode on second bus.
Integral Fast SCSI-2 controller supports maximum of
seven devices in system enclosure (three 5.25-inch
removable media devices and four 3.5-inch disk drives).
All disk drives connected to this controller will operate
in narrow mode.
Note: Wide disk drives configured on a narrow bus will
operate in narrow mode. Narrow disk drives configured
on a wide bus will operate in narrow mode. Wide and
narrow devices can be mixed on a single bus.

Step 6aPCI to Memory Channel Interconnect (continued)
Note: Since systems with Memory Channel typically employ robust disk storage arrays that benefit from multiple highperformance controllers, new customers should order AlphaServer 2100A systems which include eight PCI slots. Existing
AlphaServer 2100 customers are strongly encouraged to upgrade their I/O system to increase the number of available PCI
slots. The following I/O upgrades are available:
KFPEA-AA
KFPEN-AA
KFPEY-AA

Digital UNIX I/O Upgrade
Windows NT I/O Upgrade
OpenVMS I/O Upgrade

Check installed AlphaServer 2100 for Memory Channel readiness:
•
P00>>> examine -b econfig:20008
- At the console prompt, enter examine -b econfig:20008
•
econfig:20008 04
- If a hexidecimal value, 04 or greater is returned, I/O module supports Memory Channel.
- If a hexidecimal value less than 04 is returned, order the following
Standard I/O module, Revision L
H3096-AA
Note: New AlphaServer 2100 systems shipped from the factory are Memory Channel ready.
•
For two-system nodes, order one CCMAA-AA per system and one BC12N-10 cable to connect them.
•
For three or more system nodes, order CCMHA-AA (Memory Channel Hub) one CCMAA-AA and one BC12N-10
cable per system node.
•
CCMHA-AA (Memory Channel Hub) is configured with four CCMLA-AA Line Cards and supports up to four nodes.

Configuration Rules and Information
•

•

EISA Bus IRQ address assignments are for Digital UNIX
and OpenVMS systems only
Video Graphics Adapter is included in all systems listed
in Step 1. It occupies one EISA bus slot, leaving seven
physical slots for all other EISA-based controllers.
In some cases, the maximum each [device] supported is
less than the number of EISA bus addresses available;
this is due to other limitations.
Only one device can occupy any given IRQ address; if
multiples of a device are configured, each device
occupies a separate address.

•

Match each device to be configured to ONE available
address. (Note: With the table as a worksheet, use a
pencil to fill in an “0” for each device; fill in only one
“0” per column.)
The actual IRQ address assignment will be made by the
EISA Configuration Utility (ECU) which is run during
system manufacture, or in the installed system if the
EISA bus is re-configured.
Prestoserve option (PB2SX) does not require an IRQ
address. Supported on Digital UNIX systems only.
