Product Description
===================
Memory and 1/0 also expand easily, and placing the VAX 6000 system in a
VAXcluster allows a further increase in availability and storage capacity.
The VAX 6000 system allows the addition of up to 1 Gbyte of memory in 32,
64, and 128-Mbyte increments, and increased 1/0 speed to keep pace with the
expanded capabilities of the CPU-as easily as additional processors are
added.
The VAX 6000 system's I/O design begins with the 100-Mbyte-per-second, Xmi
high-speed system bus. This bus features a streamlined bus structure, plus
14 slots to provide for growth. XMI I/O controllers include: a CI VAXcluster
controller, DSSI storage controllers, and Ethernet and FDDI controllers.
Each controller has its own high-speed processor, to increase the I/O speed.
Additionally up to five VAXBI buses can be added. Two VME bus adapters that
connect to over 4,000 industry-standardVME options can also be added.
