Dell Precision T1500; see attached quote and technical specifications. This is the candidate
replacement for the above computer; see note below.

Myricom 10G-PCIE-8A-C+E.
4
The data recorder storage unit (DRSU) is documented in MCS0019 and MCS0020. Each DR
PC uses one 1U DRSU; thus up to 5 can be used simultaneously. The numbers indicated in the
above table assume 5 DRSUs at the current cost of $875/ea. We assume the project office will
provide these.
5
In addition, VT has one DRSU plus a prototype DRSU (both procured using VT M&S) that will
remain at VT.
6
VT has two of these, which will remain at VT for development.
