− Memory −
−−
− Optional
• Systems include one memory option
• Maximum four memory options (total of 16 DIMMs) for Model 1B (one per array)
• Maximum eight memory options (total of 32 DIMMs) for Models 2, 2B, and 3B (two per array)
• AlphaServer ES45 system includes two memory buses
• AlphaServer ES45 system includes two arrays per bus
• For Models 2, 2B, and 3B, memory options within an array must be identical
512-MB memory option (4 x 128-MB DIMMs)
MS620-AA
1-GB memory option (4 x 256-MB DIMMs)
MS620-BA
2-GB memory option (4 x 512-MB DIMMs)
MS620-CA
4-GB memory option (4 x 1024-MB DIMMs); order for Model 2 systems only
MS620-DA
4-GB memory option (4 x 1024-MB DIMMs); order for Model 1B, 2B, and 3B systems
only
MS620-DB
Memory performance considerations:
• When two or more memory options are installed, both buses are utilized, enhancing system performance
• Interleaved operations reduce the average latency and increase the memory throughput. When all four arrays are populated
with the same amount of memory, read-write operations are four-way interleaved, enhancing system performance.
The following examples illustrate different ways of configuring a 4-GB system. Case C yields the best performance and is the
recommended method for configuring memory on an AlphaServer ES45 system.

− Additional Power Supply − Optional
One Power Supply Standard with Model 1B, 2B, and 3B systems, provides system support for:
• Two CPUs
• One disk drive cage (up to six disk drives)
• Four memory options (up to 16 DIMMs)
Two Power Supplies Standard with Model 2 system, provides system support for:
