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:

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.
