Compaq AlphaServer Brand Name
This document applies to the Compaq AlphaServer GS60 and GS140 systems as well as the
AlphaServer 8200 and 8400 systems. The AlphaServer 8200 and 8400 systems were
introduced by Digital Equipment Corporation in 1995. Now Compaq Computer Corporation,
with the introduction of the Alpha 21264 chip, is calling the latest offering Compaq
AlphaServer Global Solutions (GS) systems.
The Compaq AlphaServer GS60 and GS140 systems offer all the robust features of the
current 8200/8400 product plus the fastest processors in the industry, the Alpha 21264
(EV6) and Alpha 21264A (EV67), a new blue enclosure, and a Compaq AlphaServer brand
name. The GS60 offers the same five-slot system bus with support for up to six CPUs, up to
12 Gbytes memory, and the same I/O options supported by the AlphaServer 8200. The
GS140 has the same nine-slot system bus with support for up to 14 CPUs, up to 28 Gbytes
memory, and the same I/O options as the AlphaServer 8400.
The hardware manuals were originally written to describe the DIGITAL AlphaServer 8200
and 8400 systems. Although the console displays show an 8200 or 8400 system, the same
examples and descriptions apply to the GS60 and GS140 systems. Only the identification
line at the bottom of the display is different. A sample GS140 console display is shown in
Example 1.
AlphaServer 8200 and 8400 systems can be upgraded to the new GS60 and GS140 systems,
respectively, with simple to install CPU module upgrades and minimal operating system
updates.
