How do I get a DS10's onboard NIC into 100 mbps mode?

by hvlems＠zonnet.nl

Fast translates as 100 Mb/s half duplex and you wouldn't want that. Auto is not always sufficient. There are two auto modes, auto negotiate and auto sensing. IMHO the latter is better avoided. ------Origineel bericht------ Van: Oleg Safiullin Afzender: owner-hecnet at Update.UU.SE Aan: hecnet at Update.UU.SE Beantwoorden: hecnet at Update.UU.SE Onderwerp: Re: [HECnet] How do I get a DS10's onboard NIC into 100 mbps mode?

Yes, I can confirm this - I recently install a DA500 network card in an AlphaServer 300 and I had to explicitly set fastfd mode on the network card device at the SRM console to get it to work at full speed once booted into VMS.

The DS20(E) also uses 200 pin memory. I must have been looking at the wrong webpage, can't imagine that the Toshiiba datasheet is wrong.

DS10 memory

by mark＠wickensonline.co.uk

I have a DS10L, so can check for anything you need to know. I ran my DS10L with an IDE disk for ages and didn't really notice much in the way of performance issues, but then I rarely use computers to the point where it starts becoming an issue. Since then I've installed a SCSI card (and consequently removed the ATI7500 PCI graphics card) and a 68-pin 146GB drive. I could do with that drive in a SBB in SLAVE, but as it's 68 pin and not SCA I'm out of luck. Will have to pick one up off ebay (I noticed that what I thought was the complete DECUS archive on SLAVE:: is in fact only a subset. The full archive is 70GB, so I need to increase capacity from the current 36GB drive) I've been having my own fun today - pulled the ZX6000 out of the basement to have a go at installing Debian 6.0.2.1. The previous problem (not recognising the DVD-ROM drive after boot, somewhat serious) has been replaced with a different problem at the end of installation where the tool to install the EFI boot files won't find the EFI boot partition, which is a small FAT partition created at the start of the disk. The partition is there - a google search shows one other person with a similar issue. The OpenVMS installation also needs attention - it wouldn't start up CDE. I had a play with HP/UX and did manage to configure that to start CDE at the end of booting, and indeed have just configured it up to use the ACER 24" 1920x1080 panel. Sometime before I last went to sleep I must have installed a load of software - including Firefox. Weird running firefox on the ZX6000. Seems to work OK however (using it now to access gmail). I plugged my area router, SLAVE (4.254) into a switch hanging off which was my laptop with 3G dongle and Johnnys bridge, it connected up with my wrapped bridge on my ADSL connection. The wrapper successfully detected an IP address change at the 3G end and SIGHUP'ed the bridge program, which pulled in the new IP address. A delay of about 5 minutes is to be expected, but it worked very nicely! The ZX6000 initially reported an unrecoverable problem with DRAM slots 2A/2B - I couldn't get it to boot so was forced to pull the RAM, taking it from 16GB to 12GB. I cleaned the contacts and tried reseating the RAM to noavail. I ran the box for a while (the ZX6000 always gets toasy warm, good as a room heater in winter) then swapped the RAM in slots 0A/0B into 2A/2B and inserted the two pulled RAM modules into 0A/0B. Booted fine no problems. I have fun with the memory in this machine before - apparently they are very picky about modules and configuration. Presumably also temperature, time of day, season of year etc. Not exactly confidence inspiring in an 'enterprise' system. Anyway, at least for the moment, no harm done. Mark.

DS10 memory

by healyzh＠aracnet.com

How close do you really need to be on the DS10? I've used some fairly out of spec RAM in my PWS 433au, and I believe even the RAM in my XP1000's is out of spec. Though the best is probably the old AlphaStation 200 4/233, in spite of what what the DEC spec's say, you can use 128MB 72-pin SIMM's (if you can find them). Zane At 5:54 PM +0200 9/24/11, H Vlems wrote: The memory in a DS20E follows the same specs as the memory that fits in a DS10. The DS10 won't accept higher density modules. The DS20E has 16 memory slots and supports memory boards up to 256 MB. The DEC supplied memory boards offer very little information but my DS20E also has a few Toshiba boards: PC100-222-620R 32M x 72 SDRAM 100 MHz CL2 ECC The (128 MB) Micron board partno is: MT9LSDT1672AG-10Eb1 This is 100 MHz, synchronous, unbuffered, error correcting memory. It operates at 3.3 V. The CL 2 latency spec is important. Hans -- | Zane H.

Noob questions #42: RAM for DS10

by johnhreinhardt＠yahoo.com

An update: The Micron part number is correct also. For a 512MB DIMM you want a MT18LSDT6472JG-10Exx. The JG indicates the 200-pin DIMM so that's significant as is the -10Exx which specifies the 2CL CAS latency. John H. Reinhardt On 9/24/11 11:52 AM, John H. Reinhardt wrote: You have a DS10 so you don't have to be quite as picky. The DS10L needs a shorter DIMM board. The old DEC/Compaq part number for memory was MS310-xA where A=64MB, B=128MB, C=256MB, D=512MB, E=1GB. This is total size. Each kit is 2 DIMM boards so the largest is a set of 2 512MB DIMMS. The trick about the DS10/DS10/DS20/ES40 memory is that it's on 200-pin DIMMs. And if you Google or search in Ebay you'll get a ton of hits because it's a common notebook memory size for SO-DIMMs. These will not fit. Be wary. IIRC the basic spec is 200-pin, PC100, ECC but I can't remember if they're buffered or un-buffered (registered or not). Okay, I pulled a DIMM out of my DS10L and it's DEC part # 20-01ESA-08 and specifically a Samsung M378S6450ATQ-C1H Googling this tells me it's a 200-pin, PC100, Synchronous, CL2, ECC DIMM. I found one hit on the US Ebay for memory fitting this specification, however, the picture they have with the listing is for a Micron DIMM board and the part number decodes to a 186-pin DIMM. So either the picture is wrong, or generic or the listing is incorrect. In either case, beware. Alpha Memory 256MB 200pin Synch DIMM100MHz CL2 ECC Your best bet is going to be searching on MS310-EA or 20-01ESA-08 and on the US EBay it looks like the best deal is 1GB (2x512MB) PC100 ECC Registered ECC 200pin Memory for $59.95 US. It's an oddball memory and tough to find in the generic market. Good luck. Cheers, John H.
