HP AplhaServer DS20L System Support Expertise
Independent HP AplhaServer DS20L System Support Expertise
The AlphaServer DS20L systems have two Alpha 21264B 833 MHz CPU chips. Up to 2 Gbytes of memory can be installed. Second-level cache is 4 Mbytes per processor. The switchbased system interconnect exploits the full potential of the Alpha chip.
The system measures 17.5 x 20.5 x 1.75 inches (1U) and can be rackmounted in a 79- or 67-inch M-series cabinet. In the 79-inch cabinet up to 40 systems can be installed, or if more storage is desired, there can be up to six StorageWorks shelves per cabinet. A rackmount slide kit is mandatory with each system in a cabinet.
Each system has two drive bays. One is for the system disk drive, which can be either IDE (20 or 40 GB disk) or SCSI (18.2, 36.4, or 72.8 GB disk). The other can hold an optional CD-ROM.
Two 10/100 fast Ethernet controllers and an Ultra3 SCSI controller are integrated into the system. For expansion there are two 64-bit, 33 MHz PCI slots (2/3 length). Two serial ports and a bi-directional enhanced parallel port are also available.
Systems can be purchased with the Tru64 UNIX operating system installed, or they can be purchased without any operating system, allowing customers to install Linux.
