Notes

  1. Letter D = Data device only. Letter L = Valid ULTRIX load device.

  2. The asynchronous and the general purpose parallel interfaces as a printer port in DMA mode of the DMF32 are supported.

  3. The asynchronous and the general purpose parallel interfaces as a printer port in DMA mode of the DMB32 are supported.

  4. The DMR11 is supported using TCP/IP and DECnet over full- and half-duplex point-to-point DDCMP sync lines. DMC mode is used for backwards compatibility.

  5. The KDB50 must be at microcode Revision Level K or greater.

  6. UDA50 must be at microcode Revision Level 4 or greater.

  7. A maximum of one UNIBUS tape controller per UBA.

  8. The DF126 can only be used with the DUP11 device (IBM 2780/3780 emulation); maximum baud rate 2400.

  9. The DUP11 can only be used for 2780/3780 emulation.

  10. Either one DELUA or one DEUNA controller can be configured on any UNIBUS adapter. VAX 8700 and VAX 8800 systems can have two UNIBUS adapters. All other systems are limited to one UNIBUS adapter. The maximum number of Ethernet adapters includes both BI and UNIBUS devices. LAT and DECnet traffic is restricted to one Ethernet. Each Ethernet must be connected to a separate network or subnetwork in a routing configuration.

  11. A maximum of two CI interfaces per system is supported. Configurations include two CIXCDs on the XMI or one CIXCD on the XMI and one CIBCA-BA on the VAXBI. The CIXCD must be at revision 2.2.

  12. The DEBNI is a high-speed BI-to-Ethernet adapter intended as a replacement for the existing DEBNA. The DEBNI is available as either a new module or firmware upgrade option to an existing DEBNA.

  13. The TA90 must be connected to an HSC running V3.90A or later.

  14. The TA90E must be connected to an HSC running V5.0 or later.

  15. The TA91 must connect to an HSC running V4.0 or later; v3.90A on a 8600.

  16. The TA91 is supported in KDM70 Software V3.0.

  17. Console software for the VAX 8530, VAX 8550, VAX 8700 and VAX 8800 must be at Version 4.0 or greater.

  18. Supported configurations are:

  • VAX 6000-510 with 1 attached vector processor
  • VAX 6000-520 with 1 attached vector processor
  • VAX 6000-520 with 2 attached vector processors

  1. DEClaser support is equivalent to that which is available for the LN03, LN03R, and LN03S printers.

  2. HSC40, HSC50, HSC70, HSC90 only.

  3. Accepts TK50 distribution media.

  4. Each UDA50 must be configured on a different UNIBUS adapter.

  5. On the VAX 8600, the eighth UDA50 can only be configured on the last UNIBUS adapter.

  6. Automatic stack loader tape drives are supported only by the dump, restore and cpio system utilities.

  7. The VAX 8600 CPU must be at hardware Revision Level K or greater.

  8. Console software for the VAX 8600 must be at Version 2.0 or greater.
