The supported options list includes all options that have been successfully
tested and qualified on the AlphaServer system. The list contains the option
part number, description, restrictions (RST) and operating system support.
The entries in the RST column have the following meanings:
-
YES
= restrictions exist and are available through the part number hot-link.
-
NO = restrictions do not exist.
The entries in the operating system columns have the following meanings:
-
YES
= Supported by the operating system; no minimum operating system version
required.
-
SPT
= Indicates support for Linux. Use hyperlink for version details
-
N/S
= Not currently supported by the operating system.
-
N/A
= Not applicable.
-
CD
= Configuration Dependent
-
Max
= Indicates maximum number supported on each operating system. Differences by
operating system are noted.
-
Version number
= Supported by the operating system; minimum operating system version required
for that support.
-
The operating system names are abbreviated as follows:
-
An asterisk beside the operating system version indicates cluster support.
The supported options list is not intended to include complete ordering
information, configuration information, currently shipping revisions or
recommended choices. Refer to the HP Systems and
Options Catalog or QuickSpecs ordering menus for detailed ordering
information.
Refer to the system Owner's Guide for an illustration of the PCI slot locations.
For external access to software patches go to
HP Software Patch Access.
Please note that not all software patches are present in this directory as some
may be affected by business or export agreements that do not allow their
distribution at-large. Other patches listed in the Option Restrictions may have
been superseded by more current versions.
For questions regarding patches contact the HP account manager or the Customer
Support Center.

Minimum SRM system firmware version 6.3-3.
PCI Configuration Guidelines:
o Modules designed for 5.0V signaling and 33-MHz bus speed can only operate in 5.0V/33- MHz slots (slots 5 and 6).
o A maximum total of two 5V modules can be installed in the system.
o Modules designed for 3.3 V signaling and 66-MHz bus speed can only operate in 66-MHz slots (slot 1, 2, 3,4).
o Universal PCI modules can operate in all slots (3.3V and 5.0V).
o Universal PCI modules can operate at a maximum bus speed of 33 MHz or 66 MHz.
o Universal PCI modules operating at 33 MHz placed in a 66-MHz slot will reduce the entire hose to operate at 33 MHz.
o Universal PCI modules capable of operating at 66 MHz when placed in a 33-MHz slot will operate at 33 MHz.
o For 5V full size PCI module (such as PBXGD-AD, PBXGD-AE and CCMAB-AA), only one supported per system. PCI FAN holder must be ECO'd to support two.
PCI Module Descriptions:
PCI modules listed in this document as 33 MHz or 66 MHz refers to the module’s maximum PCI bus speed.
o Modules that can only operate at 5V are designated as 5V – 33-MHz modules.
o Universal PCI modules are designated as 3.3/5V and can be installed into 33-MHz or 66-MHz slots.
The AlphaServer DS25 provides three PCI buses (hoses) that drive the 6 slots. A fourth hose drives the on-board Gbit Ethernet and dual channel Ultra3SCSI adapter.
o Hose 0 : 33 MHz driving slots 5 and 6 (slot 6 is half-length)
o Hose 1 : 66 MHz driving slots 1 and 2
o Hose 3 : 66 MHz driving slots 3 and 4
Fibre Channel - Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL) not supported.
Configurations higher than 8GB memory require 3 power supplies. (N+1) redundancy is not possible in this situation.
- For Linux:
- Minimum Operating System version for Linux is RH7.1.
- Minimum Kernel Required: 2.2.17
- For VMS:
- Minimum Operating System version for OpenVMS is v7.3-1.
- Minimum FIS: BP-RT6N0-01 rev A01 - FISK VMS 7.31 R01 CDKIT AUG02
- OpenVMS clusters assumed supported unless otherwise noted.
Reference the OpenVMS Cluster Software (SPD.78.14) for details regarding SCSI OpenVMS Cluster system support.
- MOP boot support on on-board gigabit Ethernet devices not supported.
- v7.3-1:
