Owner`s manual

DRB32
VAXBI adapter; parallel port.
DSB32
VAXBI adapter communication device; provides two synchronous lines.
DSSI
Digital Storage System Interconnect. A Digital Storage Architecture
interconnect used by the KFMSA adapter and RF and TF series integrated
storage elements to transfer data and to communicate with each other.
DWMBB
The XMI-to-VAXBI adapter; a 2-module adapter that allows data transfer
from the XMI to the VAXBI; DWMBB/A is the module in the XMI card cage,
and DWMBB/B is the VAXBI module. Every VAXBI on a VAX 6000 series
system must have a DWMBB adapter.
Ethernet-based compact disk server
The RRD compact disk drive, a console load device, functions as a server
on the Ethernet.
FV64A
Vector processor; works in a scalar/vector processor pair.
Interleaving memory
See Memory interleaving.
KDB50
VAXBI adapter for RA disks; enables connection to disk drives.
KDM70
XMI adapter for RA disks; enables connection to disk drives.
KFMSA
XMI adapter for RF disks and TF tapes; enables connection to nodes on a
DSSI bus. Each KFMSA adapter supports two DSSI buses.
ISE (integrated storage element)
All DSSI storage devices, such as RF disks and TF tapes, are ISEs.
Memory interleaving
Method to optimize memory access time; the VAX 6000 series console
program automatically interleaves the memories in the system unless the
SET MEMORY command is used to set a specific interleave or no interleave
