FAQ

What is the maximum number of internal devices supported by the onboard UltraSCSI adapter?

The onboard UltraSCSI adapter supports a maximum of seven internal devices, including two hard disk drives and three removable media devices.

How many PCI-based RAID controllers are supported?

Up to four PCI-based RAID controllers are supported, and the RCU Raid Configuration Utility must be executed with Fault Management disabled when using the KZPAC-xx controller.

Where can I find the minimum operating system level support for DIGITAL UNIX with MEMORY CHANNEL V4.0B?

You can find the minimum operating system level support for DIGITAL UNIX with MEMORY CHANNEL V4.0B in the Supported Options List at http://www.digital.com/alphaserver/tech_docs/alphasrv800/docs/supported_options.html
