Step 1 - Requirements

Step 1a - System Requirements

Mandatory Purchases: The system cannot function without these options or services - the option or service must be ordered with the system. Base System (Step 2) Dual CPU Building Block Module (Step 3) Memory (Step 4) ES47 Tower Enclosure Power Cord (Step 7) Optional Purchases: System disk (Step 5) External I/O Building Block Drawer (Step 6) Rack Enclosures (Step 8) Other (see ES/GS Common Options) Recommended Purchases: System performance or function will be enhanced if this option or service is ordered. HP Care Pack Service Package (ES/GS Common Options - Step 12)

Step 1b - Requirements for Partitions

A single AlphaServer ES47/ES80 can be divided into logical hardware partitions as small as two processors, each running an instance of Tru64 UNIX or an instance of OpenVMS. Each partition is allocated its own dedicated "shared-nothing" set of hardware resources: 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.

Minimum Hardware and Software Required per Hardware Partition

One Dual CPU Building Block Module (Step 3)
Memory (Step 4)
One local disk (Step 5) or external storage for the system software. Network boot can be used in place of the disk storage.
User access via the USB port in a Master I/O Drawer, a network connection (requires a LAN or WAN I/O adapter), or local terminal (requires an async I/O adapter)
All systems require the following minimum firmware and software revisions to run hard partitions:
1. Minimum Firmware console rev: V6.5-8
2. Tru64 UNIX: V5.1B + Patch kit - T64V51BB22AS0002-20030415.tar
3. OpenVMS: V7.3-1 + TIMA Kits (available at http://h18003.www1.hp.com/alphaserver/gs1280/gs1280_tech.html):
  1. DEC-AVPVMS-VMS731_PARTITIONING-V0100-4.PCSI
  2. AVPVMS-VMS731_PARTITIONING-V0100_cVRLET
  3. AVPVMS-VMS731_PARTITIONING-V0100_SUBFORM

Configuration Guidelines

The two processors on a Dual Processor CPU Module cannot be split between hard partitions.
The set of processors assigned to a partition must form a continuous rectangle on the system interconnect mesh network.
Base systems include an operating system license (Tru64 UNIX or OpenVMS) that licenses all hardware partitions of the system.
The license for an hp software product, the license(s) and license key(s) that represent those licenses, may be applied to any partition (OpenVMS Galaxy instance or hardware partition) within that system. Different versions of the operating system or layered products may be used on different partitions. In this case, the customer must be licensed for the latest version in use. Software products from other suppliers may have different licensing requirements for partitions.

Step 1c - Licensing Systems for Both OpenVMS and Tru64 UNIX

A System requires licenses for both OpenVMS and Tru64 UNIX operating systems, either for dual O/S boot of the entire system or for different operating systems in separate hard partitions. To use a second operating system, order the appropriate base system upgrade license and as many dual CPU SMP licenses as needed.
	OpenVMS software base system upgrade for ES47	QB-63PAE-AK
	Tru64 UNIX software base system upgrade for ES47	QB-595AK-AB
	OpenVMS software base system upgrade for ES80	QB-63PAG-AC
	Tru64 UNIX software base system upgrade for ES80	QB-595AM-AB
	OpenVMS Alpha dual CPU SMP license for ES47/ES80	QL-MT1A9-6S
	Tru64 UNIX Alpha dual CPU SMP license for ES47/ES80	QL-MT4A9-6S

Step 1d - System Management Hardware/Software Requirements

Each AlphaServer ES47, ES80, and GS1280 system includes System Management software that can significantly enhance and simplify monitoring and control of the system. Use of the System Management software is optional. The software, which runs on a separate Intel or Alpha system, consists of two major components: Alpha Management Station (AMS) - for monitoring and control of multiple ES47, ES80, and GS1280 Alpha Systems. AMS offers the highest level of server management functionality for a single or multi-platform environment. The AMS software requires the following hardware in order to operate: Tru64 UNIX platform with 512-MB memory, 4-GB disk space, and two network interface cards running Tru64 UNIX V5.1B or later. Intel IA-32 platform running Linux, 500-MHz CPU or faster, 256-MB memory, 4-GB disk space, and one network interface card. Alpha Management Utility (AMU) - for monitoring and control of a single ES47, ES80, or GS1280 Alpha System. The AMU is a GUI based application that provides a sophisticated, yet user-friendly graphics interface. The AMU is a Web-based utility, which allows a user local and remote access from a browser. The AMU software requires one of the following hardware platforms in order to operate: Intel IA-32 platform running Windows 2000 or later, 500-MHz CPU or faster, 256-MB memory, 4-GB disk space, and one network interface card. Intel IA-32 platform running Linux, 500-MHz CPU or faster, 256-GB memory, 4-GB disk space, and one network interface card. Tru64 UNIX platform running V5.1B or later, 512-MB memory, 4-GB disk space, and one network interface card. OpenVMS platform running V7.3-1 or later, 512-MB memory, 4-GB disk space, and one network interface card. Both the AMS and AMU software require Internet Explorer 5.5 or later or Netscape 4.76 or later. AMS/AMU software kits and instructions may be downloaded from: http://ftp.digital.com/pub/Digital/Alpha/firmware/interim/ams/index.html

Configuration and Use of instant Capacity (iCAP) CPUs

The instant Capacity (iCAP) program gives HP customers the option to purchase add-on CPU modules at a reduced price and install those modules in systems ready to activate instantly when needed for extra computational capacity. To use the iCAP program for AlphaServers:

Order and install iCAP CPU modules along with Full Use CPUs. The total number of Full Use CPU Building Block Modules plus iCAP CPU Building Bock Modules must adhere to the limits outlined above for ES47/80 systems.
Use the iCAP software (supplied with the iCAP CPU Module) to set iCAP CPUs inactive. As long as the total number of active CPUs does not exceed the number of licensed CPUs owned for the system, the owner may choose which CPUs to designate as iCAP.
Inactive iCAP CPUs cannot include the primary CPU, CPUs responsible for hardware interrupts, CPUs being used by an application when configuring iCAP, a CPU connected to the I/O slots in the 2P Building Block Drawer, or a CPU connected to an I/O Building Block Drawer.
Activate the iCAP CPUs for First Use when extra capacity is needed, and then promptly purchase the iCAP Enablement (Right-to-Use).

iCAP CPU Building Block Module + iCAP Enablement = Full Use CPU Building Block Module

TERMS and DEFINITIONS
iCAP CPU MODULE	AlphaServer CPU add-on module including the OpenVMS SMP or Tru64 Unix SMP extension license, end user product warranty, iCAP software, plus limited Rights-to-Access the CPU module and leave inactive until First Use.
FIRST USE	First Use takes place when one or more processors on the iCAP CPU Module are activated for permanent use. Temporary replacement of a failed CPU with an iCAP CPU does not constitute First Use. Activation of an iCAP CPU after deactivation of a full use CPU does not constitute First Use. For example, owners are permitted to deactivate a Full Use CPU in one hard partition of the system and activate an iCAP CPU in another hard partition without First Use of the iCAP CPU. First Use of an iCAP CPU Module is considered to have taken place only when the number of active CPUs in the system is greater than the number of purchased full use CPUs.
iCAP ENABLEMENT	Grants full Right-to-Use for a previously purchased iCAP CPU Module.
PROGRAM PERIOD	There is no time limit to activate an iCAP CPU.

ES Options

Step 4 - Memory Options — Mandatory

Configuration Guidelines
Mandatory selection of at least one memory option per Dual CPU Building Block Module. Each CPU supports one or two memory options. Both options must be the same size and speed for a CPU, but different size options can be used on different CPUs. If an I/O Expansion Drawer is ordered (Step 6), both CPUs in the CPU Building Block Module connected to the I/O Drawer must have at least one memory option. Each memory option consists of four RDRAM Inline Memory Modules (RIMMs). An optional fifth RIMM (RAID option) may be selected for redundancy that will allow uninterrupted operation in case of the loss of an entire RIMM. RAID options must be selected and matched for each memory option on one CPU, but RAID options do not have to be selected for all CPUs. NOTE: Memory must be ordered for iCAP CPU Modules as well as Full Use CPU Modules. The system will use memory installed on the iCAP CPU Module even when the iCAP CPU is inactive.

Memory Application Examples The following examples illustrate different ways of configuring an ES47/ES80 Model 4 system with a total of 8 GB (2 GB per CPU).

		CPU Building Block Module 1				CPU Building Block Module 2
Case	Memory Option	CPU 1		CPU 2		CPU 3		CPU 4
Case	Memory Option	Controller 1	Controller 2	Controller 1	Controller 2	Controller 1	Controller 2	Controller 1	Controller 2
A	3X-MS7AB-BA (4x256MB)	1	1	1	1	1	1	1	1
B	3X-MS7AB-CA (4x512MB)	1	-	1	-	1	-	1	-


Memory Application Examples
Configuring memory is a compromise between cost, total memory capacity, and memory bandwidth requirements. 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 option per CPU. (Case B) 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 memory options to the number of CPUs. (Case B) Data mining can benefit from additional memory bandwidth. In these cases, configure two memory options per CPU. (Case A) The most demanding high-performance technical applications achieve a performance level that is directly proportional to memory bandwidth. In these cases, configure two memory options per CPU. (Case A)

Step 5 - System Disk and Load Devices – Optional

Each 2P System Building Block Drawer supports up to two, optional, hard disk drives or one, optional, internal HP StorageWorks DAT Tape Drive. See the Disks or Tape Drives steps of the ES/GS Common Options section of this QuickSpec for the selection of supported disks and DAT tape drives. NOTE: The 2P System Building Block Drawer has an integrated Ultra3 SCSI controller and cabling for the internal disk drives or tape. The Drawer's mechanical design does not permit connection to the disk drives or tape from other storage adapters, such as a RAID adapter, that might be installed in the I/O slots in the System Drawer.

Optional selection of additional load device (one included with Base System)
DVD/CD-RW Combo Drive	Optional DVD/CD-RW combo drive for AlphaServer ES47/ES80 Systems; one per 2P System Building Block Drawer, minus included load device.	3X-PBXRD-AA


Step 6 - External I/O Building Block Drawers for System Expansion (Optional)

Configuration Rules
Each 2 Processor System Building Block Drawer in an ES47/ES80 system (not an ES47 Tower) can provide one I/O connection to an external I/O Drawer. Either a Standard I/O Drawer (Expansion or Master) or High Performance (Expansion or Master) I/O Drawer can be used for optional, external I/O expansion. Any combination of drawers is supported up to the I/O connection limit. The Standard I/O Drawer requires one I/O connection. The High Performance I/O Drawer requires one and optionally up to four connections.
	Example - AlphaServer ES47/ES80 Model 8
	Four 2 Processor System Building Block Drawers, one I/O connection each	= 4 I/O connections available
	Two Standard I/O Drawers, one I/O connection each	= 2 I/O connections
	One High Performance I/O Drawer with two I/O connections	= 2 I/O connections
	Total I/O Drawer Connections	= 4 I/O connections used
One I/O connection cable is required for each connection between a 2 Processor System Building Block Drawer and I/O Drawer.

	I/O Module for Connection to CPU in a System Building Block Drawer	I/O Buses	I/O Slots	Dual Redundant Power Supplies	USB/Ultra3 SCSI Adapter Card	DVD/ CD-RW Drive	Universal Slot for Disks	Part Number
Standard I/O Drawer, Expansion	1	3 PCI-X 1 AGP 4X	8 PCI-X 1 PCI, 3.3V; 2 PCI, 5V 1 AGP 4X	Yes	No	No	None	3X-BA70A-BA
Standard I/O Drawer, Master	1	3 PCI-X 1 AGP 4X	8 PCI-X 1 PCI, 3.3V; 2 PCI, 5V 1 AGP 4X	Yes	1 in PCI 3.3V Slot	1	2⁴	3X-BA70A-AA
High Performance I/O Drawer, Expansion	1 standard 3 additional, optional¹	2 to 8 PCI-X	2 to 8 PCI-X	Yes	No	No	None	3X-BA70B- BA
High Performance I/O Drawer, Master	1 standard 3 additional, optional¹	2 to 8 PCI-X	2 to 8 PCI-X	Yes	1 in PCI-X Slot	1	2⁴	3X-BA70B-AA

	Add-in I/O Module for High Performance I/O Drawers. Each module supports two PCI-X slots. Up to three modules may be added to the base High Performance I/O Drawer.	3X-KFMHA-AA
	I/O cable for connection between ES47/ES80 System Building Block Drawer and I/O Building Block Drawer; select one cable for each drawer ordered and one cable per Add-in I/O Module (3X-KFMHA-AA) if ordered.	3X-BNPCB-02
NOTES One High Performance I/O Drawer can be used by up to four separate hard partitions. Each of the four I/O Connections (and two associated PCI-X slots) in the High Performance I/O Drawer can be independently controlled (e.g. power on/off) in conjunction with a separate partition. A Master I/O Drawer consists of a Standard or High Performance I/O Drawer plus a Combination Adapter in one slot. The Combination Adapter provides an Ultra3 SCSI connection for two disks and a DVD/CD-RW drive in the drawer; plus a USB connection for keyboard, mouse, and monitor. The two disks in the Master I/O Drawer can only be connected to the system via the Combination Adapter's Ultra3 SCSI connection. The I/O Drawer design does not permit connection from other storage adapters, such as a RAID adapter, that might be installed in the I/O Drawer. Each Master I/O Drawer supports up to two, optional, hard disk drives. See the Disks step of the ES/GS Common Options section of this QuickSpec for the selection of supported disk drives.

Step 7 - Packaging and Power — Mandatory Choice

Step 7a - H9A40/H9A45 Racks

The H9A40/H9A45 Racks are designed for the AlphaServer ES47/ES80/GS1280 product family. Large cable egresses have been built into the rack roof to allow for cabling out the top of the rack. These racks are 19-inch RETMA standard and accept HP StorageWorks, HP ProLiant, DS and other ES models of HP AlphaServers, plus third-party equipment.
See HP H9A40/H9A45 Racks QuickSpecs for details:
http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/11636_div/11636_div.html

Configuration Guidelines

All ES47/ES80 Base Systems include all necessary hardware to mount the systems in an H9A40/H9A45 Rack.
All ES47/ES80 Base Systems include all required internal IEC/IEC power cords.
Each 3X-H9A45-ZD/3X-H9A40-ZA Rack includes one Cable/DSL Hub for platform management. The Hub included with the rack supports the first system mounted in the rack. Each ES47/ES80 system must have a SEPARATE, private platform management LAN to operate. An additional Hub is therefore required for each additional system to allow the platform management components of each system to communicate. The one exception to the mandatory Hub is the case of an ES47/ES80 Model 2 system without an external I/O drawer that may be managed via a console connection.

Step 7b - HP Rack 10000 G2 Series

The HP Rack 10000 Series were designed to the19-inch RETMA standard. The Racks accommodate all HP equipment (ProLiant, Alpha Systems, StorageWorks, UPS, and PDUs) in addition to select third-party equipment. See HP Rack 10000 G2 Series QuickSpecs for details: http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/12402_div/12402_div.html Configuration Guidelines All ES47/ES80 Base Systems require a rack kit to mount ES47/ES80 systems in a 10000 G2 Series Rack (see below). All ES47/ES80 Base Systems include all required internal IEC/IEC power cords. The 10000 G2 Series Rack does not include a Cable/DSL Hub for platform management. Each ES47/ES80 system must have a SEPARATE, private platform management LAN to operate. A Hub is therefore required for each system to allow the platform management components of each system to communicate. The one exception to the mandatory Hub is the case of an ES47/ES80 Model 2 system without an external I/O drawer that may be managed via a console. NOTE: The ES47/80 system and Rack 10000 G2 Series will ship separately. Installation and integration of the ES47/80 into the rack by HP requires purchase of field Installation Service.
