Figures 2–2 and 2–3 show an example of an AlphaServer GS140 system with
nine modules. Three CPU modules, three memory modules, and three I/O mod-
ules would allow either 3 or 2 logical partitions, each running an instance of the
operating system.
The KFE72-DAs needed to support logical partitions are present. Two CD-ROM
drives are shown. Note that these CD-ROM drives protrude from the front of
the shelf, and can only be installed in the rightmost shelf position in the front of
either cabinet. In any other position, the drives will contact the crossbar sup-
port on the inside of the cabinet door and make it impossible to close.
