QuickSpecs
The Tru64 UNIX Operating System can execute on valid Alpha systems and must include the following minimum system
configuration:
Tru64 UNIX requires the minimum component of main memory to be 128 MB.
The minimum disk space requirement for installing the Tru64 UNIX Operating System is 1 GB. The 1 GB disk space
requirement does not include the additional space required to update the Worldwide Language Support component of
Tru64 UNIX.
However, HP recommends that systems have at least two 2 GB disk space available to ensure sufficient disk space
for swap, patches, and storage.
The supported load devices include CD-ROM readers (such as RRD44) or a variety of network interfaces.
Tru64 UNIX minimally requires one console terminal connection with ASCII capabilities or one HP graphics display
console for Alpha systems.
Recommended minimum root partition should be 128 MB (single system only).
Recommended minimum usr partition should be 700 MB (single system only).
Hardware Partitioning
Tru64 UNIX provides the enabling technology to support static hardware partitions on the AlphaServer GS series systems.

Use of Tru64 UNIX in hardware partitions requires a Tru64 UNIX Hardware Partitioning License for each additional partition.
For more information, see the Software Licensing section in this document.
Optional Hardware
Additional memory and/or secondary storage may be required depending upon the usage of the Tru64 UNIX Operating
System software and/or optional software products.
Combinations of hardware options are subject to limitations such as bandwidth, physical configuration restraints, thermal
dissipation, electrical loads, and power supply. Please see the following URL:
