Preface
Intended Audience
This manual is for service providers of HP AlphaServer ES47s who are upgrading the
system from a single tower system to a two or four 2P-drawer cabinet system in a 29” deep
rack.
Document Structure
This manual uses a structured documentation design. Topics are organized into small
sections, usually consisting of two facing pages. Most topics begin with an abstract that
provides an overview of the section, followed by an illustration or example. The facing
page contains descriptions, procedures, and syntax definitions.
This manual has 5 chapters.
• Chapter 1, Overview, introduces you to the ES47 system, its upgrade kits and
contents, and the basic steps of the upgrade procedure.
• Chapter 2,
upgrade, including powering down, removing the panels and frame, and removing the
side panel on the rack cabinet.
• Chapter 3, Install and cable the drawers, guides you through installing cagenuts,
brackets, and the 2P drawers for both M2 and M4. It details placement and order of IP
(interprocessor), SM LAN, and power cables, and ground wires for connecting the
newly installed drawer to the initial system.
• Chapter 4, Configure and Troubleshoot, completes the installation. IP addresses are
assigned to the newly installed components. Firmware checks that all newly installed
components are seen and operating appropriately.
• Chapter 5, Q-Vet, covers installing, running, and removing procedures for Q-Vet, to
verify the system upgrade.

Chapter 1
Overview
The AlphaServer ES47 system is a member of the family of high-performance
ES47/ES80/GS1280 server platforms designed for enterprise-level applications. The
ES47 system is built with 2P drawers; a maximum of two 2P drawers can be
connected to create a 4P system with up to 16 Gbytes of memory.
ES47 model numbers are based on the number of CPUs in a system.
A Model 2 is a one-drawer system (with 2 CPUs), and a Model 4 is a two-drawer
system (with 4 CPUs).
The ES47 system can be a tower system, or contained in a single rack mount cabinet.
Two upgrades are available: changing from a tower system to a 29”deep rack mount
cabinet, and upgrading from a Model 2 to a Model 4.
This chapter provides an overview of these ES47 upgrades.
Sections include:
• System components
• Upgrades steps
• Check upgrades kits
• Upgrade firmware
• Shut down system power
CPU Speeds
AlphaServer ES47 Systems can use two different CPUs:
CPU Speed Part Number
1000 MHz 3X-KN73A-xx
1150 MHz 3X-KN73C-xx
CAUTION: Only one type of CPU may run within a given hard partition. A system
may run CPUs of different speeds in different partitions, as long as all the CPUs
within each partition are the same.
Overview 1-1
1.1 System Components
Two upgrades are available: 1) from an ES47 Model 2 standalone tower system
to a rack mount cabinet Model, and 2) upgrading from an ES47 Model 2 to Model
4 (in the 29” deep rack mount cabinet).
Figure 1–1 ES47 System (Tower and Cabinet)
Note that it is possible to install up to four 2P drawers in a cabinet. For ES47
systems, only two 2P drawers can be connected to create an M4 system. If
you install additional drawers, an additional NAT box is required for each
independent ES47 system (M2 or M4) residing in the same cabinet.
Installation and configuration information ships with the NAT box.

1.3 Check Upgrades Kits
Check the contents of your upgrades kits. The Tower-to-Cabinet kit provides the
hardware to upgrades your tower system to a cabinet-based system (you must
order your cabinet separately). The 3X-BA60B-AH upgrades kit includes
hardware to upgrade from a 2- to a 4-processor system.
NOTE that when ordering your ES47 Tower to Cabinet Upgrades, you were prompted
to order the cabinet and power distribution unit separately. The rack kit rails are
designed for the H9A45-ZD or H9A40-ZA 29” deep rack cabinets.
Also, when ordering your ES47 Model 2 to 4 Upgrade, you were prompted to order
CPU and Memory separately. The CPU and memory have been installed into your 2P
drawer at the factory. For more information, see the QuickSpecs or the
ES47/ES80/GS1280 Memory Upgrade card.

1.4 Update Firmware
NOTE: If you are upgrading from a Model 2 to a Model 4, you must update your
system to the latest firmware levels before you power down.
Firmware downloads are available online, through an ftp site and a web address. Two
sites are available, to address any firewall problems.
Download the latest firmware from one of these two sites:
ftp://ftp.digital.com/pub/Digital/Alpha/firmware/index.html
http://ftp.digital.com/pub/Digital/Alpha/firmware/index.html
If you are adding an additional 2P drawer (upgrading from a Model 2 to a Model 4),
then you MUST upgrade your firmware before you power down your system and
begin the hardware upgrades. You cannot successfully upgrade the hardware without
upgrading the firmware on your original system.
If you are just upgrading from a tower to a cabinet, upgrading your firmware is
recommended but not required.
Please save all console environmental variables before powering down (use show *
or show mbm commands).
1.5 Shut Down System Power
Perform an orderly shutdown of the operating system.
