MEMORY CHANNEL (Requirements for Currently Installed AlphaServer 8400 systems) (continued)
MEMORY CHANNEL cable
BC12N-10
TruCluster Production Server Software for Tru64 UNIX
QB-3RLAQ-AA
Tru64 UNIX Driver for MEMORY CHANNEL license
QB-4ZCAQ-AA
OpenVMS Cluster license for Alpha systems

CCMHA-AA, MEMORY CHANNEL Hub, includes BN19P-2E line cord for Canada, Japan, and U.S. operation. For
other regions, order power cords listed above.

−Console Terminal −
−−
−Required unless terminal is available onsite.
• VT console terminal with EIA-232 25-pin DSUB connector is required, (even with KFE72 installed) for system
power-up, diagnostics and console display; order unless otherwise available.
• Shielded console cable is included for connection to console terminal.

−Graphics Support for Tru64 UNIX −
−−
− Optional
• Graphics support for GS140 and 8400 running Tru64 UNIX V4.0D or later can be provided through the
combined use of KFE72-EA port option and the SN-PBXGB-TL graphics adapter.
• SN-PBXGB-TL requires 17″ or 21″ Professional Series monitor and keyboard for graphics support unless
available onsite
• Selection of video extension cable and country-specific power cord required for all monitor variants
• EISA or ISA options are not supported on KFE72-EA subsytem
Graphics console subsystem for Tru64 UNIX systems, includes diskette drive and mouse; KFE70-
A
A and KFE72-EA are not supported concurrently on the same system; however, either option
can be used to run RAID Configuration Utility (RCU).

−Tru64 UNIX and OpenVMS Partitions −
−−
−Optional
• A single GS140 can be divided into a maximum of three logical hardware partitions. Each partition is allocated
its own set of hardware resources− CPU, memory, I/O module. Partitioning support requiresTru64 UNIX
V4.0F or later, or OpenVMS V7.2 or later operating system and partitioning licenses.
• System Console Firmware Revision 5.4 or later required
• Each partition requires a minimum of one CPU module, one memory module, one I/O module, and one DWLPB
(PCI and PIU shelf) per partition.
• Each partition must have a dedicated console terminal. The first partition will obtain this support in a standard
manner via the server console panel. The second and third partition requires a KFE72-DA to obtain this
console support. H8571-J adapter is required to connect KFE72-DA to the console terminal;
KFE72-DA does not include a diskette drive, which is required to support RAID Configuration Utility (RCU).
Order KFE72-EA if a floppy or graphic support is required.
• For more information regarding Tru64 UNIX V4.0F partitioning configuration hardware guidelines and console
partition commands, see Tru64 UNIX V4.0F SPD 41.61.22 and Tru64 UNIX V4.0F System Administration
Guide, Appendix E.4.
• For more information regarding OpenVMS Galaxy partitioning guidelines and support, see
http://www.openvms.digital.com/availability/GALAXY.HTML
• Existing AlphaServer 8400 users can upgrade their system to an AlphaServer GS140 level system that
supports hardware partitions with a CPU upgrade (dual Alpha 21264 6/525 or 6/700 MHz CPU modules),
Operating System upgrade (Tru64 UNIX V4.0F), and System Console Firmware Revision 5.4 or later;
additional hardware may be required to support hardware partitions.
