Console Terminal

−−−−

Required unless terminal is available onsite.

• VT console terminal with EIA-232 25-pin DSUB connector is required, (even with KFE72 installed) for system

power-up, diagnostics and console display; order unless otherwise available.

• Shielded console cable is included for connection to console terminal.

Graphics Support for Tru64 UNIX

−−−−

Optional

• Graphics support for GS140 and 8400 running Tru64 UNIX V4.0D or later can be provided through the

combined use of KFE72-EA port option and the SN-PBXGB-TL graphics adapter.

• SN-PBXGB-TL requires 17

″

or 21

″

Professional Series monitor and keyboard for graphics support unless

available onsite

• Selection of video extension cable and country-specific power cord required for all monitor variants
• EISA or ISA options are not supported on KFE72-EA subsytem
Graphics console subsystem for Tru64 UNIX systems, includes diskette drive and mouse; KFE70-

AA and KFE72-EA are not supported concurrently on the same system; however, either option

can be used to run RAID Configuration Utility (RCU).

Tru64 UNIX and OpenVMS Partitions

−−−−

Optional

• A single GS140 can be divided into a maximum of three logical hardware partitions. Each partition is allocated

its own set of hardware resources

−

CPU, memory, I/O module. Partitioning support requiresTru64 UNIX

V4.0F or later, or OpenVMS V7.2 or later operating system and partitioning licenses.

• System Console Firmware Revision 5.4 or later required
• Each partition requires a minimum of one CPU module, one memory module, one I/O module, and one DWLPB

(PCI and PIU shelf) per partition.

• Each partition must have a dedicated console terminal. The first partition will obtain this support in a standard

manner via the server console panel. The second and third partition requires a KFE72-DA to obtain this

console support. H8571-J adapter is required to connect KFE72-DA to the console terminal;

KFE72-DA does not include a diskette drive, which is required to support RAID Configuration Utility (RCU).

Order KFE72-EA if a floppy or graphic support is required.

• For more information regarding Tru64 UNIX V4.0F partitioning configuration hardware guidelines and console

partition commands, see Tru64 UNIX V4.0F SPD 41.61.22 and Tru64 UNIX V4.0F System Administration

Guide, Appendix E.4.

• For more information regarding OpenVMS Galaxy partitioning guidelines and support, see

http://www.openvms.digital.com/availability/GALAXY.HTML

• Existing AlphaServer 8400 users can upgrade their system to an AlphaServer GS140 level system that

supports hardware partitions with a CPU upgrade (dual Alpha 21264 6/525 or 6/700 MHz CPU modules),

Operating System upgrade (Tru64 UNIX V4.0F), and System Console Firmware Revision 5.4 or later;

additional hardware may be required to support hardware partitions.
