So the collected information about the HP AlphaServer ES40 system is:
...
| Info |

In some particular situations it is also important to know the exact placement of all the peripheral devices on HP Alpha PCI bus. To get that information issue "show config" command in ">>>" prompt of HP Alpha console, for example: >>>show config

The "show config" command allows to collect the following information of placement of peripheral devices on PCI bus: - Bus number
- Slot number
- Function number
|
...
Using the above info, the following configuration can be created:
...
#
# First RQDX3 controller on address 772150
#
load RQDX3/RQDX3 DUA address=017772150
set DUA container[0]="C:\My disks\rz23.vdisk"

#
# First TQK50 controller on address 774500
#
load TQK50/TQK50 MUA address=017774500
set MUA container[0]="C:\My tapes\tape1.vtape"
#
# Second TQK50 controller on address 760444
#
load TQK50/TQK50 MUB address=017760444
set MUB container[3]="C:\My tapes\tape2.vtape"
#
# First DHQ11 controller on address 760500
#
load DHQ11/DHV11 TXA address=017760500
load virtual_serial_line/chserial TXA0 port=10010
set TXA line[0]=TXA0
#
# Second DHQ11 controller on address 760520
#
load DHQ11/DHV11 TXB address=017760520
load virtual_serial_line/chserial TXB0 port=10011
set TXB line[0]=TXB0
#
# DESQA controller on address 774440
#
load DESQA/DEQNA XQA address=017774440 interface=XQA0
load packet_port/chnetwrk XQA0 interface="connection:Charon"
...

Note the Qbus addresses specification: The number is prefixed with "0", meaning it is an octal value. The number of digits reflects the 22 bit Qbus architecture.
Additional DHQ11 serial lines can be mapped later. For now, only 2 lines are configured. They are mapped to IP ports 10010 and 10011.
