System Overview
===============
This high-performance, single-processor system is intended for use as a
local area network (LAN) server or commercial applications server. It is
housed in a rackmount enclosure, which contains the system board, CPU card,
other logic modules, fans, and the power supply.
The system uses the DECchip 21164A-1 reduced instruction set computer (RISC)
microprocessor, which is based on the Alpha architecture and provides all
the power of a 64-bit computing environment. The Alpha Privileged
Architecture Library code (PALcode) supports multiple operating environments
that offer a choice of applications.
This system is intended as:
An applications server, running relational databases, electronic
mail, communications, or other applications
A print server, providing common printing resources to PCs and
other systems in a LAN
A file server, providing disk storage to PCs and other systems
in a LAN
A compute server, displaying the output of applications you run
remotely on the server
