Step 10 MEMORY CHANNEL Optional

MEMORY CHANNEL options are supported on GS140 with Console Firmware V5.3-12 or later and 8400 systems with Console Firmware V5.4-10 or later; Console Firmware is available on CD-ROM (AG-RFCBB- BE) and the following Web site: http://ftp.digital.com/pub/Digital/Alpha/firmware/interim/gs60gs140

Two PCI System Area Network controllers supported per system

Tru64 UNIX Systems

MEMORY CHANNEL options require Tru64 UNIX V4.0F with TruCluster V1.6 or later

Each system node in a MEMORY CHANNEL cluster requires a TruCuster Production Server (QB-3RLAQ-KA) or TruCluster MEMORY CHANNEL (QB-4ZCAQ-AA) software license

TruCluster MEMORY CHANNEL license (QB-4ZCAQ-AA), normally used for high- performance technical computing applications, is not required if systems include a TruCluster Production Server license (QB- 3RLAQ-KA)

The following options are not currently supported with MEMORY CHANNEL: DJ-ML200, CIPCA

OpenVMS Systems

MEMORY CHANNEL options require OpenVMS V7.1-2 or later and OpenVMS Cluster license (QL-MUZAQ- AA)

Two-node clusters can be configured by ordering a CCMAB-AA for each system and 1 BN39B-04 or BN39B-10 cable, cable connects directly to CCMAB-AA in each system

For three or four system clusters, order one CCMAB-AA adapter and one BN39B-04 or BN39B-10 cable for each system and one CCMHB-AA hub for the cluster

CCMHB-AA includes four CCMLB-AA line cards and supports up to four nodes; expansion up to eight system nodes can be achieved by adding up to four additional CCMLB-AA line cards

If two or more CCMAB-AA controllers are configured in each system, a second CCMHB-AA hub is required for clusters with more than two nodes; in two-node clusters the CCMAB-AA may be directly connected.
