     Digital Cartridge Server Component                SSA 33.59.00-A
     for VMS, Version 1.0



     VAXstation: VAXstation family of processors

     VAXserver:  VAXserver family of processors

     The VAX processor used must be sufficiently capable of han-
     dling both the installation and daily operations of the Digital
     Cartridge Server Component (DCSC) as well as any customized
     applications and the VMS/ULTRIX Connection software.

     The VAX processor must be physically connected to either an
     HSC40 or HSC70 to provide a data path through the TC44-AA/BA
     controller boards for tape cartridge read and write functions.

     Processor Restrictions:

     A TK50 or 9-track 1600 BPI Magtape (PE) Tape Drive is required
     for DCSC installation.

     A connection to a HSC40 or HSC70 is required for cartridge
     read/write operations.

     An Ethernet connection is required for each processor that
     uses the DCSC. That processor must support the Ethernet boards
     supported by Version 1.3 of the VMS/ULTRIX Connection software.

     Other Hardware Required:

     TC44-AA/BA

     Digital Equipment Corporation VT220, VT240, VT320, or VT340
     terminal to use the DCSC utilities and user interface.

     StorageTek[R] 4400 Automated Cartridge System and associated
     software.

     Disk Space Requirements (Block Cluster Size = 1):

     for VMS, Version 1.0


     The following counts refer to the disk space required on the
     system disk. The sizes are approximate; actual sizes may vary
     depending on the user's system environment, configuration, and
     software options.

     Disk space required for      9,000 blocks
     installation:
                                  (4.61 Mbytes)

     Disk space required for      8,000 blocks
     use (permanent):
                                  (4.10 Mbytes)

     The minimum memory supported is 32 Mbytes. However, increasing
     the memory capability improves the performance of this software.
     The memory size suggested for most typical hardware configura-
     tions is at least 32 Mbytes.

     CLUSTER ENVIRONMENT

     This layered product is fully supported when installed on any
     valid and licensed VAXcluster* configuration without restric-
