Description
===============================================
The enhanced Compaq AlphaServer GS60E system brings computing performance,
memory capabilities, and I/O throughput into perfect balance. You can expand
up to 6 CPUs and 12 GB of memory (or 8 CPUs and 8 GB of memory), while
taking advantage of added bus slots for I/O.
The AlphaServer GS60E supports hardware partitioning, which means you can
run multiple instances of the Tru64 UNIX or OpenVMS operating systems.
Upgrades - AlphaServer 8200/GS60 to AlphaServer GS60E
=====================================================
Upgrades from an AlphaServer GS60 or an 8200 allow you to migrate to the new
cabinet with minimal disruption. Your investment in CPU, memory, and PCI I/O
options is protected.
The GS60E uses the same Alpha 21264 processor module, the same
memory modules, and the same I/O port modules as all AlphaServer 8000
and GS systems.
The GS60E uses the same devices from GS60/8200 StorageWorks
shelves and all the PCI options.
Because the mounting brackets are different (RETMA vs metric),
you cannot install the same StorageWorks shelves and DWLPB PCI card
cages into the GS60E cabinet.
There is also a new variant of the KFE72 option for this
cabinet.
The GS60E upgrade includes the new system cabinet, the seven
system bus slots, one StorageWorks shelf, and one PCI shelf to move over
existing options.
