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
Upgrades - AlphaServer 8200/GS60 to AlphaServer GS60E
=====================================================
Upgrades from an AlphaServer GS60 or an 8200 allow you to migrate to the new
cabinet with minimal disruption. Your investment in CPU, memory, and PCI I/O
options is protected.
The GS60E uses the same Alpha 21264 processor module, the same
memory modules, and the same I/O port modules as all AlphaServer 8000
and GS systems.
The GS60E uses the same devices from GS60/8200 StorageWorks
shelves and all the PCI options.
Because the mounting brackets are different (RETMA vs metric),
you cannot install the same StorageWorks shelves and DWLPB PCI card
cages into the GS60E cabinet.
There is also a new variant of the KFE72 option for this
cabinet.
The GS60E upgrade includes the new system cabinet, the seven
system bus slots, one StorageWorks shelf, and one PCI shelf to move over
existing options.
