SN-PBXNP-

AC PCI Token Ring Adapter is

not supported in same system

with ATM 155 (DAPBA) adapter;

if ATMworks 351 (DGLPA) NIC

card is installed, follow that

adapter’s configuration rules;

only one ATM adapter can be

installed on same bus as

ATMworks 351 network interface

card

Local and Wide Area Communications

Servers/Network Connectivity Products

Each communications server requires 802.3/Ethernet

connection. Depending on server selected, either

ThinWire BNC type connection (e.g., BC16M

cable) or thick wire 15-pin AUI transceiver cable

(e.g., BNE3x) is required. Additional items also

required—see the Network Products Guide.

MEMORY CHANNEL

Up to two PCI System Area Network controllers are

supported on GS60E with Console Firmware V5.5-

x or later.

Tru64 UNIX Systems
Requires Tru64 UNIX V4.0F with TruCluster V1.6 or

later

Each system node in a MEMORY CHANNEL cluster

requires a TruCuster Production Server

(QB-3RLAG-KA) or TruCluster MEMORY

CHANNEL (QB-4ZCAG-AA) software license.

TruCluster MEMORY CHANNEL license

(QB-4ZCAG-AA), normally used for high-

performance technical computing applications, is

not required if systems include a TruCluster

Production Server license (QB-3RLAG-KA).

The following options are currently not supported with

MEMORY CHANNEL: DJ-ML200, CIPCA.

OpenVMS Systems
Requires OpenVMS V7.1-2 or later and OpenVMS

Cluster license (QL-MUZAG-AA)

2-node clusters can be configured by ordering a

CCMAB-AA for each system and one BN29B-04

or BN29B-10 cable; cable connects directly to

CCMAB-AA in each system.

For three or four system clusters, order one CCMAB-

AA adapter and one BN29B-04 or BN29B-10

cable for each system and one CCMHB-AA hub

for the cluster.

CCMHB-AA includes four CCMLB-AA line cards and

supports up to four nodes; expansion up to eight

system nodes can be achieved by adding up to

four additional CCMLB-AA line cards

If two or more CCMAB-AA controllers are configured

in each system, a second CCMHB-AA hub is

required for clusters with more than two nodes; in

2-node clusters the CCMAB-AA may be directly

connected.
