1.2 System Features
The system provides a number of features that enhance its reliability and
improve its expansion capabilities, as well as facilitate hardware management
and improve security.
Reliability
•
64-bit Alpha architecture Provides significantly better performance
than 32-bit architecture.
•
Error correction code (ECC)
on memory and CPU cache
Allows recovery from most cache and
memory errors.
•
Variable fan speed
Adjusts fan speed according to system
temperature.
•
Integral Remote Console
Management (RCM) function
Enables remote access to system.
•
Internal sensors
Monitor and detect internal system
temperature, fan failure, power supply
temperature.
System Expansion
•
Flexible memory architecture
Provides a 128-bit data path with ECC
protection. System memory can be
upgraded from 64 MB to 2 GB using
memory options.
•
Six PCI expansion slots and one
PCI/EISA expansion slot
Accommodates industry-standard option
cards such as Ethernet, FDDI, SCSI, and
modems.
•
Integrated UltraSCSI controller
Supports tape and CD-ROM without use of
an expansion slot.
•
Capacity for 10 internal storage
devices
Accommodates one StorageWorks modular
storage system, which supports up to seven
3½-inch UltraSCSI drives. Also supports up
to two 5½-inch, half-height drives (CD-
ROM or tape), and one 3½-inch diskette.
•
External ports
Two serial ports and one parallel port
support external options such as a printer,
modem, or local terminal.
