     Block Space Requirements (Block Cluster Size = 1):

     Disk space required for      702 blocks
     installation:
                                  (359,000 bytes)

     Disk space required for      620 blocks
     use (permanent):
                                  (317,000 bytes)

     The block space requirements above refer to the disk space
     required on the down-line load host system disk. The sizes are
     approximations; actual sizes may vary depending on the user's
     system environment, configuration, and software options.

     OPTIONAL HARDWARE

     Use the following SHIELDED cables with each of the EIA 232-D
     asynchronous ports on the DECmux 300.

                   modem connections.

     BC22F         Full modem straight-through cable for modem con-
                   nections.

     BC22R         Recommended null modem cable for host systems and
                   other devices, including those that use CTS/RTS
                   flow control.

     BC17D         Null modem cable for host systems and other de-
                   vices that do not use CTS/RTS flow control.

     The MUXserver hardware requires both a transceiver drop cable
     and Ethernet connection, H4000 or DELNI, to connect to the Eth-
     ernet physical channel. The following cabinet kits are available
     and are used to increase the number of physical connections of a
     DECmux 300 option.

     Only one upgrade cabinet kit can be installed in the DM308-AA,
     DM308-AB, DM316-BA, DM316-BB options.

     The DM316-AA, DM316-AB, DM332-BA, DM332-BB, options are fully
     configured and cannot be upgraded.
