 The
HP AlphaStation DS15 workstation has a 1-GHz Alpha chip and
2 Mbytes of second-level cache. Up to 4 Gbytes of main memory
and
435.6-GB of SCSI storage can be configured into this desktop
or deskside enclosure. The switch-based system interconnect
exploits the full potential of the Alpha chip.
The system enclosure measures 5.1 x 17.6 x 19.65 inches
(3U) and can be placed on a desktop, deskside, or rackmounted
in a choice of three rack cabinets (two M-Series and one
10000 Series). 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. OpenVMS and Tru64
UNIX customers can configure up to 4 ATI Radeon 7500 Graphics
cards per system. 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.
