Firmware CD-ROM.
The following DMCC configuration has been qualified by Compaq for
running eight-headed graphics under Tru64 UNIX Version 4.0E:
• Alpha 21164/366 MHz SBC with 2 MB cache and Tru64 UNIX license
(EBM21-AZ)
• 512 MB main memory (2 x EBXMA-HC, for a total of four 128MB
DIMMs)
• Desktop enclosure with 14-slot PICMG backplane: 10 PCI, 3 ISA, 1 SBC
(ETM33-BD)
• Eight PowerStorm 3D30 graphics cards (8 x SN-PBXGB-AA)
• PCI Ethernet card (DE450-CA)
• PCI fast/narrow SCSI controller (KZPAA-AA)
• Mandatory or associated options such as floppy, hard, and CD–ROM
drives, cable kit for PICMG enclosure, and power cord

3.6.4.2 Hardware Setup
When you configure the DMCC 15-slot platform for eight-headed graphics,
placement of the graphics cards is critical.
The configuration described in the Hardware and Software Requirements
section, and qualified by Compaq, uses an ETM33-BD desktop enclosure
with 14-slot backplane. Within that enclosure, the PCI option cards must be
placed into PCI slots in top to bottom order as follows:
• Secondary 32-bit PCI bus connectors
– KZPAA SCSI card
– PowerStorm graphics card: SCREEN 2
– PowerStorm graphics card: SCREEN 3
– PowerStorm graphics card: SCREEN 4
– DE450 Ethernet card
– PowerStorm graphics card: SCREEN 5
– PowerStorm graphics card: SCREEN 6
– PowerStorm graphics card: SCREEN 7
• Primary 64-bit PCI bus connectors
– PowerStorm graphics card: SCREEN 0 (VGA ENABLED)
