 The
HP AlphaServer DS15A systems are available with a 1-GHz Alpha
chip, the 21264C. Memory starts at 512 Mbytes and can be
increased to 4 Gbytes. Second-level cache is 2 Mbytes. The
switch-based system interconnect exploits the full potential
of the Alpha chip.
The system measures 5.1 x 17.6 x 19.65
inches (3U) and can be placed on a desktop, desk side, or
rackmounted in a choice of three rack cabinets (two M-Series
and one 10000 Series), along with additional disks. In the
largest cabinet (79 inches) up to 13 systems can be installed,
or if more storage is desired, there can be up to six StorageWorks
shelves and up to four systems.
A maximum of four drive bays
are available when ordering the Front Access Storage Cage;
three drives bays are available when ordering the Internal
Storage Cage. Each storage cage includes a DVD/CD-RW drive.
A 5.25-inch removable media device can be added to either
storage cage, consuming one storage bay in the Internal Storage
Cage and utilizing two storage bays in the Front Access Storage
Cage. Up to 435.6-GB SCSI storage is available in systems
with the Front Access Storage Cage and 218.2 GB in systems
with the Internal Storage Cage.
There are four full-length
PCI slots, four 64-bit slots @ 33 MHz or two 64-bit slots
@ 66 MHz. Integrated on the system board are two 10/100 Mbit
fast Ethernet controllers, two serial ports, two-port Ultra160
SCSI controller – one port supports internal devices,
one port supports external devices, and keyboard and mouse
ports.
Systems can be purchased with the Tru64 UNIX or OpenVMS
operating systems installed.
