processing system. It offers access to multiple high-bandwidth I/O buses, very large memory capacities, up to eight high-performance CPUs, and many other features normally associated with mainframe systems. This chapter introduces the AlphaServer GS60E system. Sections in this chapter include: • System Overview • TLSB System Bus • Proce ...

1.1 System Overview The Compaq AlphaServer GS60E system is the latest offering in the GS60/GS140 family. It uses the same system bus, the TLSB, with seven slots. It provides the reliability and availability features normally associated with mainframe systems. The GS60E has redundant, hot- swappable N+1 power supplies.

The AlphaServer GS60E system main cabinet contains the seven-slot TLSB card cage, power supplies, and space for PCI I/O shelves and StorageWorks shelves. The GS60E system can have up to two expander cabinets (see Figure 1-1), containing additional PCI I/O shelves and StorageWorks shelves. Chapter 2 describes how to use LEDs and other indicators to troubleshoot the system. Chapter 3 describes the console displa ...

1.2 TLSB System Bus The TLSB card cage is a 7-slot card cage that contains slots for up to four CPU modules, up to five memory array modules, and up to three I/O modules. The TLSB bus interconnects the CPU, memory, and I/O modules.

TLSB card cage contains seven module slots (slots 3 and 4 are not used). The slots are numbered 0 through 2 from right to left in the front of the cabinet and slots 5 through 8 right to left in the rear of the cabinet (see Figure 1-2). The minimum configuration is a processor module in slot 0, an I/O module in slot 8, a memory module in slot 7, and terminator ...

1.3 Processor Module Up to four processor modules can be used in an AlphaServer GS60E system. Each processor module contains two CPU chips. Figure 1–3 Processor Module SM13-99 6 2 3 4 5 1 5 Side 1 Side 2 ...

525 MHz. The KN7CH processor module has two 21264A chips, with a clock speed of 700 MHz. If one of the CPUs on the processor module is malfunctioning, you replace the entire module. The chip is not a field- replaceable unit (FRU). The console display (see Section 3.1) shows each processor on a module. Figure 1-3 shows the processor module. The raised blocks ...

1.4 MS7CC Memory Module The GS60E uses three variants of the MS7CC memory module, 1 Gbyte, 2 Gbytes, and 4 Gbytes. Up to 20 Gbytes of memory can be configured using combinations of the three module variants. Figure 1–4 MS7CC Memory Module SM14-99 1 1 2 2 3 4 ...
