PCI Configuration Guidelines
  • Modules designed for 5.0V signaling and 33-MHz bus speed can only operate in 5.0V/33-MHz slots
  • Modules designed for 3.3 V signaling and 66-MHz bus speed can only operate in 66-MHz slots
  • Universal PCI modules can operate in all slots (3.3V and 5.0V)
  • Universal PCI modules operating at 33 MHz placed in a 66-MHz slot will reduce the entire hose to operate at 33 MHz
  • Universal PCI modules capable of operating at 66 MHz when placed in a 33-MHz slot will operate at 33 MHz
  • PCI hot-plug ready slots are designed to enable PCI modules to be added or removed while the system is powered and running.

PCI Module Descriptions:

  • PCI modules listed in this document as 33 MHz or 66 MHz refer to the module’s maximum PCI bus speed.
  • Modules that can only operate at 5V are designated as 5V – 33-MHz modules.
  • Universal PCI modules are designated as 3.3/5V and can be installed into 33-MHz or 66-MHz slots.

AlphaServer ES45 systems provide four I/O hoses, each is configured differently as illustrated by the following charts for Models 1B, 2B, and 3B.

Step 2 - Additional CPU Modules - Optional
  • One CPU included, three additional CPUs are supported
SMP upgrade, includes one 68/1000-MHz CPU with 8-MB cache

KN610-DA
  
Step 3 - Memory - Optional
  • Systems include one memory option
  • Maximum four memory options (total of 16 DIMMs) for Model 1B (one per array)
  • Maximum eight memory options (total of 32 DIMMs) for Models 2, 2B, and 3B (two per array)
  • AlphaServer ES45 system includes two memory buses
  • AlphaServer ES45 system includes two arrays per bus
  • For Models 2, 2B, and 3B, memory options within an array must be identical
512-MB memory option (4 x 128-MB DIMMs) MS620-AA
1-GB memory option (4 x 256-MB DIMMs) MS620-BA
2-GB memory option (4 x 512-MB DIMMs) MS620-CA
4-GB memory option (4 x 1024-MB DIMMs); order for Model 2 systems only MS620-DA
4-GB memory option (4 x 1024-MB DIMMs); order for Model 1B, 2B, and 3B systems only MS620-DB
Memory performance considerations:
  • When two or more memory options are installed, both buses are utilized, enhancing system performance
  • Interleaved operations reduce the average latency and increase the memory throughput. When all 4 arrays are populated with the same amount of memory, read-write operations are four-way interleaved, enhancing system performance.

The following examples illustrate different ways of configuring a 4-GB system. Case C yields the best performance and is the recommended method for configuring memory on an AlphaServer ES45 system.
Base System
(one memory option included)		 Memory Options Total Memory Total DIMMs Performance
Case A - DA-68DAJ-DA None 4 GB 4 Good
Case B – DA-68DAJ-CA MS620-CA 4 GB 8 Better
Case C – DA-68DAJ-BA MS620-BA + MS620-BA + MS620-BA 4 GB 16 Best *
NOTE: * = Operating system and application dependent. Up to an 18% performance enhancement has been measured in Case C over Case A.
