AlphaServer 8400
Alpha Servers 3.209
Step 1a—5/300 System Building Blocks
System Building Blocks are an alternative to standard Base Servers, or Expanded Base Servers. They provide flexibility in
configuring the AlphaServer 8400 with a choice of memory and I/O options.
System Building Block Requirements:
Minimum of one Memory module
Minimum of one I/O module
CD-ROM Drive
Systems require DIGITAL UNIX V3.2B or later, and OpenVMS V6.2 or later.
Console terminal required unless available on site.
System consists of 9 slot backplane—three slots used by CPU, memory, and system I/O modules.
- Six slots available for additional CPU, memory, or system I/O module(s).
If KFTHA-AA I/O module is selected the following PCI or XMI options must be ordered to provide the interface to
CD-ROM drive.
Required for PCI systems
DWLPB-AA
PCI plug-in unit. See Step 5 for details.
KZPAA-AA
PCI single-ended SCSI controller for CD-ROM connection only; KZPAA is restricted as CD-ROM
connection only, no other disk or tape connections are supported—maximum one per system.
BN21H-02
SCSI cable
Required for XMI systems
DWLMA-AA
XMI plug-in unit. See Step 6 for details.
KZMSA-AB
XMI single-ended SCSI controller
BN21H-02
SCSI cable
CD-ROM, 600 MB 5.25” in cabinet drive (RRDCD-CA) is required and must be ordered separately.
If Factory Installed Software is required, BA660-AB, appropriate disk drive, and controller must be ordered separately.
Redundant power supply (N+1) can be added if required.
