PCI Configuration Guidelines
  • Modules designed for 5.0 V signaling and 33-MHz bus speed can only operate in 5.0 V/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 (3.3 V and 5.0 V)
  • 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 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 5 V are designated as 5 V – 33-MHz modules.
  • Universal PCI modules are designated as 3.3/5 V 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 in 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 and Tru64 UNIX SMP license KN610-DB
  SMP upgrade, includes one 68/1000-MHz CPU with 8-MB cache and OpenVMS SMP license KN610-DC
  SMP upgrade, includes one 68/1250-MHz CPU with 16-MB cache and Tru64 UNIX SMP license KN610-EB
  SMP upgrade, includes one 68/1250-MHz CPU with 16-MB cache and OpenVMS SMP license KN610-EC
  NOTE: Minimum firmware for 1.25-GHz systems is V6.2-8, minimum SROM firmware is V2.22-F. Firmware files are available at: http://ftp.digital.com/pub/Digital/Alpha/firmware/interim/es45/v6.2C/  
  NOTE: Existing AlphaServer ES45 1-GHz Model 2 (xx-68DAA-xx) customers who upgrade to 1.25-GHz CPUs should continue to follow Model 2 configuration guidelines. The following options are required: H7906-A9 power supply and MS620-AA, MS620-BA, and MS620-CA memory options. Do not order 3X-H7514-AA power supplies or MS5620-DB memory options.  

Step 3 - Memory - Optional
  • Base systems do not include memory; select a minimum of 1-GB memory; this is a mandatory selection. All other 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 Model 2B and Model 3B (two per array)
  • AlphaServer ES45 system includes two memory buses
  • AlphaServer ES45 system includes two arrays per bus
  • For Model 2B and Model 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) MS620-DB
  NOTE: Do not order MS620-DB memory option for installation in ES45 1-GHz Model 2 (xx-68DAA-xx) system. MS620-DB memory option can only be installed in (xx-6xDBA-xx) and (xx-6xEBA-xx) systems.  

Memory performance considerations:

  • The AlphaServer ES45 system has two memory buses. When two or more memory options are installed, both buses are utilized, enhancing system performance.
  • The AlphaServer ES45 system has two arrays per bus. Interleaved operations reduce the average latency and increase the memory throughput. When all four 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.
ES45 System
(one memory option included)		 Add-on Memory Options Total Memory Total DIMMs Performance
Case A - DA-68EBA-DA (MS620-DB) None 4-GB 4 Good
Case B - DA-68EBA-CA (MS620-CA) MS620-CA 4-GB 8 Better
Case C - DA-68EBA-BA (MS620-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.
