          PRODUCT NAME:  VAX Remote Environmental Monitoring Software,
          Version 1.2                                         SPD 29.73.02
                         (VAX REMS)

          DESCRIPTION

          VAX REMS supports Digital's HA3000 Uninterruptible Power Sys-
          tem, H7317 Power Distribution System PLUS (PDS+) and H7318 Power
          Conditioning System Plus (PCS+) microprocessor based environmen-
          tal and power distribution systems, and the H7310 Environmen-
          tal Monitoring System. With the PDS+/PCS+ and/or EMS systems,
          complemented by the VAX REMS software, complete environmental
          surveillance of a computer site and supporting equipment is ac-
          complished. In addition, VAX REMS, Version 1.2 communicates with
          the HA3000 UPS to accept alarm and status information from that
          product's internal sensors.

          Through the use of sensors that are both internal and exter-
          nal to the PDS+/PCS+ units, and external sensors in the EMS
          units, environmental changes are detected, and, depending upon
          user defined threshold settings for these sensors, notifica-
          tion alarms are triggered on the host VAX system. Optionally,
          utilizing embedded sensors within HA3000 UPS systems, internal
          parameters and alarms are retrieved in a time-stamped sequence
          allowing this information to be included within the VMS file
          structure created by REMS. VAX REMS provides continuous unat-
          tended monitoring and collection of environmental data and will
          only require attention if an alarm condition is reached on one
          of its sensors.

          Employing an easy to learn and use menu and forms style user
          interface, VAX REMS facilitates the task of configuring the
          environmental sensors for a complete system. For status inquiry
          and alarm notification purposes, VAX REMS generally eliminates
