Preface
The VAX 6000 Family
The first product in this midrange multiprocessing VAX family is the
<REFERENCE>(calypso). Second, the <REFERENCE>(hyperion) offered
higher performance, with a faster processor and a more efficient console
tape drive (TK70). The third CPU in the series is <REFERENCE>(rigel),
which uses advanced technology for more enhanced performance. All
models have two versions a traditional multiuser timesharing system
and a VAXserver for diskless computers and workstations.
The VAX 6000 Model 500 introduces a new XMI backplane and power
subsystem. While the older versions of the VAX 6000 series relied on
a VAXBI and its options for I/O, the newer versions have several I/O
adapters that provide I/O directly from the XMI. This manual covers
the <REFERENCE>(xyp) and <REFERENCE>(xrp) CPUs in the newer
cabinet. Please make sure you have the correct manuals for the systems
you are servicing.
Intended Audience
This manual is written for Digital customer service engineers servicing the
<REFERENCE>(2x) systems in the VAX 6000 series platform. The manual
covers the second and third of the three CPUs in this series. The KA62A
will not be shipped in the new <REFERENCE>(XMI2) being introduced
with the VAX 6000 Model 500.
Document Structure
This manual uses a structured documentation design. There are many
topics, organized into small sections for efficient reference. Each topic
begins with an abstract. You can quickly gain a comprehensive overview
by reading only the abstracts. Next is an illustration or example, which
also provides quick reference. Last in the structure is descriptive text.
