Description
===========
The Compaq AlphaServer Global Solutions (GS) series of servers are the first
to be powered by Alpha 21264 microprocessors. They build on the success of
AlphaServer 8200 and 8400 servers, but offer up to twice the power and
application performance of previous generations.
Every Compaq AlphaServer GS60 and GS140 system has built-in features for
reliability and availability, including:
Ability to configure fully redundant I/O channels with multiple
paths to I/O devices
Internal error checking and correcting code
Hot swap disks
Auto re-boot
N+1 power redundancy
System monitoring that is visible through LED's and readable by
system software
Test-directed diagnostics and symptom-directed diagnostics
Modular field replaceable units
Back-door access to failed subsystems for ease of repair
For high availability and easy system management, cluster
hardware and software creates redundant system nodes and paths to data
with automatic failover
