SystemOverview

1.1 Introduction

VAX 6000 systems are designed for growth and can be conﬁgured for

many different applications. Each model in the VAX 6000 series:

• Supports multiple users in a time-sharing environment

• Supports a full range of VAX applications and operating systems

• Functions as a standalone system, a member of a VAXcluster system,

a boot node of a local area VAXcluster system, or as a VAX ﬁle server

for workstations

• Allows for expansion of processors, memory, and I/O

• Supports scalar processors

• Supports vector processors (models 400 and 500)

• Implements symmetric multiprocessing where all processors have

equal access to memory

• Incorporates a high-bandwidth system bus designed for

multiprocessing

• Performs automatic self-test on power-up, reset, reboot, or system

initialization

The system cabinet may house a console load device, an XMI card cage

(which contains the processors, memories, and I/O adapters), two optional

VAXBI card cages, optional disk drives, and the system control panel. The

console load device is used for installing operating systems, software, and

some diagnostics. The load device may be an Ethernet based compact

disk server or an in-cabinet tape drive. The console terminal is used for

booting and for system management operations.
