All memory and I/O components are located on a single system board that
contains a memory subsystem, PCI bus, ISA bus, integrated SCSI
fast/wide/Ultra I/O controllers, and option slots for PCI-based and ISA-based
option modules.
Processor Module
The system supports up to two processor modules that can be installed on the
system board. Each processor module contains a 21264 microprocessor. The
21264 microprocessor is a superscalar chip with out-of-order execution and
speculative execution to maximize speed and performance. It contains four
integer execution units and dedicated execution units for floating-point add,
multiply, and divide. The chip also has an integrated instruction cache and a
data cache. Each cache consists of a 64 KB two-way set associative, virtually
addressed cache divided into 64-byte blocks. The data cache is a physically
tagged, write-back cache.
The EV6 (500 MHz) processor module contains 4 MB secondary
B-cache (backup cache) consisting of late-write synchronous DRAMs (dynamic
random access memory) that provide low latency and high bandwidth. The
EV67 (667 MHz) processor module has an 8 MB DDR (dual data rate). See the
documentation that accompanies a processor upgrade for instructions on
installing additional processors.
Memory
The system supports up to four banks of memory on the system board. Each
bank contains four slots for a total of 16 slots. The system uses 200-pin buffered
synchronous dual in-line memory module (DIMMs). See Chapter 5 for
instructions on installing DIMMs.

N+1 Fan Configuration
The SFM supports and monitors the two system fans. For optimal cooling, both
fans are always running. If one of the fans fails or is hot-swapped for servicing,
the system continues to function with the other fan running at full speed.
The fan thermostat is set to drive the fans at their minimum speed in
environments below 26ºC to keep noise levels low. As system temperature rises,
the fan speed increases to increase cooling. If the system temperature rises
above 55ºC (due to high system loads or high ambient temperature), the system
software receives an I/O interrupt and the system shuts down within 30
seconds.
Cover Interlock
The SFM has a side cover interlock connector that prevents the system from
operating with the system cover open. System power cannot be turned on until
the cover is closed. If the cover is opened while the system is running, power
shuts off immediately.

1.7 PCI Slots
The system board has six, 64-bit PCI slots, one of which is a
combination PCI/ISA slot. The callouts in Figure 1–7 show the PCI slot
locations on the system board. Slot 1
only. Slots 2 through 6 support a full-length card. Slot 6

The system uses a Cypress South Bridge chip (CY82C698), which is a highly
integrated peripheral solution for PCI-based motherboards. It provides a bridge
between the PCI bus, ISA bus, and the IDE peripherals. See Chapter 5 for
information on installing PCI options.
System Overview 1-15
Page 32
1.8 Power Supplies
The system comes with two 375-watt power supplies that are connected
in parallel. A third power supply can be added for redundancy. Power
supply 0 (PS0) is the leftmost supply in a pedestal system and the
topmost supply in a rackmount system.
Figure 1–8 Power Supplies (Pedestal Orientation)
NOTE: On a system with two power supplies, a power supply blank is installed
to maintain the proper airflow.
DS20E Reference Guide
1-16
CAT0043
Page 33
A power backplane integrates the supplies for power distribution, monitoring,
and control. The power supplies can be accessed and removed through the front
of the enclosure. See Chapter 5 for instructions on adding or replacing a power
supply.
The following voltages are provided: +3.3, +5.0, +12.0, –12.0, +5.0 Aux (+5.0 Aux
always powered). Two internal fans cool the power supply. The fans are
temperature controlled and speed up as the power supply temperature
increases.
N+1 Power Supply Configuration
Two power supplies must be installed and working for the system to operate.
The system shuts down if the number of working power supplies ever falls
below two. In a three-power-supply configuration, a power supply may be
removed for servicing without interrupting system operation. An I/O interrupt
is generated whenever the number of power supplies in operation changes.

Booting and Installing
an Operating System
This chapter gives instructions for booting the Tru64 UNIX, OpenVMS, and
Linux operating systems and for starting an operating system installation. It
also describes how to switch from one operating system to another. Refer to
your operating system documentation for complete instructions on booting or
starting an installation.
The following topics are included:
• Setting boot options
• Booting Tru64 UNIX
• Starting a Tru64 UNIX installation
• Booting Linux
• Booting OpenVMS
• Starting an OpenVMS installation
NOTE: Your system may have been delivered to you with factory-installed
software (FIS); that is, with a version of the operating system already
installed. If so, refer to the FIS documentation included with your
system to boot your operating system for the first time. Linux-ready
systems do not come with factory-installed software.
Booting and Installing an Operating System 4-1

4.1Setting Boot Options
v
X
from a RIS server.
You can set a default boot device, boot flags, and network boot
protocols for Tru64 UNIX or OpenVMS using the SRM set command
with environment variables. Once these environment variables are set,
the boot command defaults to the stored values. You can override the
stored values for the current boot session by entering parameters on
the boot command line.
The SRM boot-related environment variables are listed below and described in
the following sections.
auto_actionDetermines the default action the system takes when the
system is power cycled, reset, or experiences a failure.
bootdef_dev
boot_file
boot_osflags
ei*0_inet_init or
ew*0_inet_init
ei*0_protocols or
ew*0_protocols
Device or device list from which booting is to be attempted
when no path is specified on the command line.
Specifies a default file name to be used for booting when
no file name is specified by the boot command.
Defines parameters (boot flags) used by the operating
system to determine some aspects of a system bootstrap.
Determines whether the interface’s internal Internet
database is initialized from nvram or from a network
server (through the bootp protocol). Set this environment
ariable if you are booting Tru64 UNI
Defines a default network boot protocol (bootp or mop).
4-2 DS20E Reference Guide
Page 81
4.1.1 auto_action
The auto_action environment variable specifies the action the console
takes any time the system powers up, fails, or resets. The value of
auto_action takes effect only after you reset the system by pressing the
Reset button or by issuing the init command.
The default setting for auto_action is halt. With this setting, the system stops
in the SRM console after being initialized. To cause the operating system to
boot automatically after initialization, set the auto_action environment
variable to boot or restart.
• When auto_action is set to boot, the system boots from the default boot
device specified by the value of the bootdef_dev environment variable.
• When auto_action is set to restart, the system boots from whatever device
it booted from before the shutdown/reset or failure.
NOTE: After you set the auto_action environment variable, it is recommended
that you set the boot device and operating system flags as well, using
the set bootdef_dev and set boot_osflags commands.
The syntax is:
set auto_actionvalue
The options for value are:
halt
The system remains in console mode after power-up or a system
crash.
bootThe operating system boots automatically after the SRM init
command is issued or the Reset button is pressed.
restart
The operating system boots automatically after the SRM init
command is issued or the Reset button is pressed, and it also
reboots after an operating system crash.
Booting and Installing an Operating System 4-3
Page 82
Examples
In the following example, the operator sets the auto_action environment
variable to restart. The device specified with the bootdef_dev environment
variable is dka0. When Tru64 UNIX is shut down and rebooted, the system will
reboot from dka0.
P00>>> show auto_action
auto_action halt
P00>>> set auto_action restart
P00>>> init

In the following example, auto_action is set to restart, but Tru64 UNIX is
booted from a device other than the device set with bootdef_dev. When Tru64UNIX is shut down and rebooted, the system reboots from the specified device.
P00>>> boot dka100

4-4 DS20E Reference Guide
Page 83
4.1.2 bootdef_dev
The bootdef_dev environment variable specifies one or more devices
from which to boot the operating system. When more than one device is
specified, the system searches in the order listed and boots from the
first device with operating system software.
Enter the show bootdef_dev command to display the current default boot
device. Enter the show device command for a list of all devices in the system.
The syntax is:
set bootdef_dev boot_device
boot_device
The name of the device on which the system software has been
loaded. To specify more than one device, separate the names
with commas.
Example
In this example, two boot devices are specified. The system will try booting
from dkb0 and if unsuccessful, will boot from dka0.
P00>>> set bootdef_dev dkb0, dka0
NOTE: When you set the bootdef_dev environment variable, it is
recommended that you set the operating system boot parameters as well,
using the set boot_osflags command.

Page 84
4.1.3 boot_file
The boot_file environment variable specifies the default file name to be
used for booting when no file name is specified by the boot command.
The factory default value is null.
The syntax is:
set boot_filefilename
Example
In this example, the system is set to boot from dka0.
P00>>> set boot_file dka0
4-6 DS20E Reference Guide
Page 85
4.1.4 boot_osflags
The boot_osflags environment variable sets the default boot flags and,
for OpenVMS, a root number.
Boot flags contain information used by the operating system to determine some
aspects of a system bootstrap. Under normal circumstances, you can use the
default boot flag settings.
To change the boot flags for the current boot only, use the flags_value argument
with the boot command.
The syntax is:
set boot_osflagsflags_value
The flags_value argument is specific to the operating system.
Tru64 UNIX Systems
Tru64 UNIX systems take a single ASCII character as the flags_value
argument.
Load operating system software from the specified boot device
a
(autoboot). Boot to multiuser mode.
Prompt for the name of a file to load and other options (boot
i
interactively). Boot to single-user mode.
Stop in single-user mode. Boots /vmunix to single-user mode and stops
s
at the # (root) prompt.
DFull dump; implies “s” as well. By default, if Tru64 UNIX crashes, it
completes a partial memory dump. Specifying “D” forces a full dump at
system crash.
Example
The following setting will autoboot Tru64 UNIX to multiuser mode when you
enter the boot command.
P00>>> set boot_osflags a

Linux Systems
The flags_value argument for Linux is 0 (zero).
Flags_value Arguments for Red Hat Distribution
0Halt. (Do not set init default to this value.)
1Single-user mode.
2Multiuser, without NFS (same as 3, if you do not have networking)
3Full multiuser mode (Default)
4Unused

SSingle-user mode. (Default)
1Multiuser without network
2Multiuser with network
3Multiuser with network and xdm
6Reboot. (Do not set init default to this value.)
Single-user mode is typically used for troubleshooting. To make system changes
at this run level, you must have read/write privileges. The command to boot
Linux into single-user mode is similar to the following example, where “/” root is
in partition 2 of DKA0, and the kernel is in /boot/compaq.gz.
This following command sets the boot_osflags environment variable for Linux:
P00>>> set boot_osflags 0
4-8 DS20E Reference Guide
Page 87
OpenVMS Systems
OpenVMS systems require an ordered pair as the flags_value argument:
root_number and boot_flags.
root_numberDirectory number of the system disk on which OpenVMS files
are located. For example:
root_number
Root Directory
0 (default)[SYS0.SYSEXE]
1[SYS1.SYSEXE]
2[SYS2.SYSEXE]
3[SYS3.SYSEXE]
boot_flags
The hexadecimal value of the bit number or numbers set. To
specify multiple boot flags, add the flag values (logical OR).
For example, the flag value 10080 executes both the 80 and
10000 flag settings. See Table 4–1.

Examples
In the following OpenVMS example, root_number is set to 2 and boot_flags is set
to 1. With this setting, the system will boot from root directory SYS2.SYSEXE
to the SYSBOOT prompt when you enter the boot command.
P00>>> set boot_osflags 2,1
In the following OpenVMS example, root_number is set to 0 and boot_flags is set
to 80. With this setting, you are prompted for the name of the secondary
bootstrap file when you enter the boot command.
P00>>> set boot_osflags 0,80
4-10 DS20E Reference Guide
Page 89
4.1.5 ei*0_inet_init or ew*0_inet_init
The ei*0_inet_init or ew*0_inet_init environment variable determines
whether the interface’s internal Internet database is initialized from
nvram or from a network server (through the bootp protocol). Legal
values are nvram and bootp. The default value is bootp. Set this
environment variable if you are booting Tru64 UNIX from a RIS server.
To list the network devices on your system, enter the show device command.
The Ethernet controllers start with the letters “ei” or “ew,” for example, ewa0.
The third letter is the adapter ID for the specific Ethernet controller. Replace
the asterisk (*) with the adapter ID letter when using this command.
The syntax is:
set ei*0_inet_init value or
set ew*0_inet_init value
The value is one of the following:
nvram
bootp
Initializes the internal Internet database from nvram.
Initializes the internal Internet database from a network server
through the bootp protocol.
Example
P00>>> set ewa0_inet_init bootp
Booting and Installing an Operating System 4-11
Page 90
4.1.6 ei*0_protocols or ew*0_protocols
The ei*0_protocols or ew*0_protocols environment variable sets
network protocols for booting and other functions.
To list the network devices on your system, enter the show device command.
The Ethernet controllers start with the letters “ei” or “ew,” for example, ewa0.
The third letter is the adapter ID for the specific Ethernet controller. Replace
the asterisk (*) with the adapter ID letter when entering the command.
The syntax is:
set ei*0_protocols protocol_value or
set ew*0_protocols protocol_value
The options for protocol_value are:
mop (default)
Sets the network protocol to mop (Maintenance Operations
Protocol), the setting typically used with the OpenVMS
operating system.
bootp
Sets the network protocol to bootp, the setting typically used
with the Tru64 UNIX operating system.
bootp,mop
When both are listed, the system attempts to use the mop
protocol first, regardless of which is listed first. If not
successful, it then attempts the bootp protocol.
Tru64 UNIX can be booted from a CD-ROM on a local drive (a CD-ROM
drive connected to the system), from a local SCSI disk, or from a UNIX
RIS server. Example 4–1 shows a boot from a local SCSI disk drive.
The example is abbreviated. For complete instructions on booting
Tru64 UNIX, see the Tru64 UNIX Installation Guide.
