Processor Restrictions A TK50 Tape Drive is required for standalone MicroVAX 2000 and VAXstation 2000 systems. Other Hardware Required One of the following controller interfaces is required: DEUNA Ethernet to UNIBUS controller. DELUA Ethernet to UNIBUS controller. The minimum revision level required is F1. DEBNI Ethernet to VAXBI communication controller. DEMNA High performance network adapter that connects XMI systems to both Ethernet and IEEE 802.3 local area networks. 2 VMS/ULTRIX Connection, Version 1.3 SSA 25.A4.03-A DESVA Ethernet controller interface. DEBNA Ethernet to VAXBI communication controller. DEQNA Ethernet controller to Q-bus. The minimum revision required is K3. DELQA Ethernet controller to Q-bus. This is the replacement for DEQNA. The minimum revision level required is C3. DESQA Ethernet controller to Q-bus for S-BOX configurations. SGEC Ethernet adapter for VAX 4000 Model 300. The VMS/ULTRIX Connection can share an Ethernet Interface with other Digital networking products, such as DECnet. 3 VMS/ULTRIX Connection, Version 1.3 SSA 25.A4.03-A Block Space Requirements (Block Cluster Size = 1): Global Pages 1800 Global Sections 27 Disk space required for 5400 blocks installation: (2700K bytes) Disk space required for 4400 blocks use (permanent): (2200K bytes) Block Space Requirements for RPC: Global Pages 160 Global Sections 3 Disk space required for 2900 blocks installation: (1450K bytes) Block space required for 2770 blocks installation: (1385K bytes) These counts refer to the disk space required on the system disk.
