Chapter 1 Introduction The Compaq AlphaServer GS160/320 and GS80 systems are high-performance server platforms designed for enterprise-level applications. They offer a high degree of scalability and expandability. The GS160/320 system uses up to four Alpha microprocessors in each quad building block (QBB). Two QBBs are paired back-to-back and rotated 180 degrees with reference to each other and then enclosed in a system box. A system cabinet can hold up to two system boxes. The GS80 rack sys

1.1 AlphaServer GS160/320 and GS80 Systems The AlphaServer GS160/320 system and GS80 rack system are separate, but related, in that they use the same switch technology. The CPU modules, memory modules, and power modules are also the same. In the GS160/320 system, the modules are in a system box in a cabinet. In the GS80 rack system, the modules are in a drawer.

AlphaServer GS160/320 System The AlphaServer GS160 system cabinet contains up to two system boxes supporting a maximum of 16 CPU modules. In an AlphaServer GS320 system, a second system cabinet is used to expand the system (up to four system boxes containing a maximum of 32 CPU modules). A power cabinet contains the power components, I/O boxes, and storage. Additional I/O and storage can be housed in expander cabinets. AlphaServer GS80 System The AlphaServer GS80 rack system contains up to two s

1.2 Firmware and Utilities Overview Firmware residing in ROM on CPU and other modules in the system provides commands for booting the operating system, testing devices and I/O adapters, and other tasks useful in operating and maintaining a running system. You type commands at the console device. SRM Console Systems running the Tru64 UNIX or OpenVMS operating systems are configured from the SRM console, a command-line interface (CLI). From the CLI you can enter commands to configure the system,

1.3 System Architecture Each QBB in a GS160/320 system and each QBB (system drawer) in a GS80 system has a backplane and a switch supporting the CPU modules, memory modules, and I/O riser modules. Figure 1–2 shows two QBBs in a single-box system.

Chapter 2 GS160/320 System Overview Each system cabinet contains one or two system boxes. The system box houses two quad building blocks, or QBBs. CPU modules, memory modules, power modules, and I/O riser modules plug into the QBB backplane. The power cabinet contains power components, PCI boxes, and storage shelves. This chapter provides an overview of the system in these sections: • System Characteristics • System Box Architecture • Quad Building Block (QBB) Components • Power System • PCI I

2.2 System Box Architecture The system box houses two quad building blocks (QBBs). Each QBB has a backplane with a switch interconnect that supports up to four CPU modules, four memory modules, two power modules, two I/O riser modules, and a global port. Figure 2–2 shows two system boxes connected by the hierarchical switch. Figure 2–3 shows one system box and the distribution board.
