MicroVAX, VAXstation, VAXserver

A minimum system configuration includes:

oo   One VAXBI-based VAX host system

oo   One KA800-M real-time VAX processor

oo   One RA series disk                  

oo   4 MB VMS host system memory

oo   One TU80, TU81, or TK50

Disk Space Requirements (Block Cluster Size = 1):

Disk space required for installation:
						 5,000 blocks
						 (2.57M bytes)

Disk space required for use (permanent):
						 4,200 blocks
						 (2.15M bytes)

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

OPTIONAL HARDWARE

Any valid VAXBI adapter except the DWBUA

oo   MS800-EA		      KA800 extension memory board

oo   CK-KA800-LN	      15 FT console line for KA800

oo   MS820-BA		      4 MB ECC VAXBI memory

oo   MS820-CA		      16 MB ECC VAXBI memory

oo   H9642/BA32-BA	      12 Slot VAXBI Expander Cabinet

oo   H9657		      24 Slot VAXBI Expander Cabinet

The KA800 can be used to directly control any valid VAXBI adapter except 
the DWBUA.  This can include adapters supplied by vendors who are licensed 
by Digital to produce VAXBI adapters.  If no VAXELN driver is supplied by 
Digital, the customer is responsible for the VAXELN driver used.  The KA800 
can be physically configured with any valid VAXBI adapter in the same 
backplane; except the DWBUA which must be installed on a separate VAXBI 
backplane.  (Exception: In VAX 82xx and 83xx systems the DWBUA and KA800 
can coexist on the same VAXBI backplane).
   
CLUSTER ENVIRONMENT

This layered product is fully supported when installed on any valid and 
licensed VAXcluster* configuration without restrictions.  The HARDWARE 
REQUIREMENTS sections of this product's Software Product Description and 
System Support Addendum detail any special hardware required by this 
product.

*   V5.x VAXcluster configurations are fully described in the VAXcluster 
    Software Product Description (29.78.xx) and include CI, Ethernet, and 
    Mixed Interconnect configurations.


SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS

Operating System

VMS Operating System V5.3

Layered Products

VAXELN Toolkit V4.0 

VMS Tailoring 

For VMS V5.x systems, the following VMS classes are required for full 
functionality of this layered product:

oo   VMS Required Saveset

oo   Network Support

oo   Programming Support

oo   System Programming Support

oo   Utilities

OPTIONAL SOFTWARE

Use of the VAXELN remote debugger and the development of applications on 
the host processor require the VAXELN Toolkit at a minimum of V4.0 to be 
installed on the system.  

Application development is done on a VMS host processor, but the 
application may have code running on both the VMS host processor and the 
VAXELN real-time processor. The following table specifies the supported 
versions of optional software required for each runtime environment.
 
                     Application Runtime Environment

Under VMS V5.x                    Under VAXELN V4.x

VAX C V3.1			  VAX C V2.0-2 - V3.1

VAX FORTRAN V5.3		  VAX FORTRAN V4.4 - V5.3

VAX PASCAL V3.9			  EPASCAL ( See Note )

VAX Ada V2.0			  VAX Ada V2.0 and VAXELN Ada V2.0

						 or

				  VAX Ada V1.4 - V2.0 and
				  VAXELN Ada V2.0

Note:	      EPASCAL is included with the VAXELN Toolkit.
