General Information
Model 743 and Model 744 VME Board Computers
Model 743 and Model 744 VME Board Computers
The sections that follow contain the Model 743 and Model 744 VME Board Computer prod-
uct descriptions and functional descriptions.
Product Description
HP Model 744 VME Board Computers are based on the PA 7300LC CPU. HP Model 743
VME Board Computers are based on the PA 7100LC CPU. Running either HP-UX or HP-RT
operating systems, they are typically installed in a VME backplane.
• Model 744/165L: HP-UX operating system, 165 MHz system clock
• Model 744rt/165L: HP-RT operating system, 165 MHz system clock
• Model 744/132L: HP-UX operating system, 132 MHz system clock
• Model 744rt/132L: HP-RT operating system, 132 MHz system clock
• Model 743i/64: HP-UX operating system, 64 MHz system clock
• Model 743i/100: HP-UX operating system, 100 MHz system clock
• Model 743rt/64: HP-RT operating system, 64 MHz system clock
• Model 743rt/100: HP-RT operating system, 100 MHz system clock
Each board computer is complete with the core I/O of an HP-PA workstation in a single-slot
VME solution with expandability for more I/O or RAM in a two-slot or three-slot VME solu-
tion. The core design includes application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) that add VME
and real-time features.
Figure 1-1 illustrates the front panel of Model 743 and Model 744 Board Computers.
