The RRD42 compact disk (CD) drive is the console load device for
DEC
DEC 7000 systems. It is installed in the system cabinet and used
7000
to access software and on-line documentation. The KZMSA
adapter is installed in the XMI card cage and provides access to
the RRD42.
The InfoServer is the console load device for VAX 7000 systems. It
VAX
is an Ethernet-based compact disk (CD) drive, which is part of a
7000
local area network. The InfoServer is used to access CD-ROMs for
software installation and for on-line documentation on VAX 7000
systems.
The DEMNA and DEMFA adapters are interfaces that allow ac-
cess to the InfoServer. These adapters are modules installed in the
XMI card cage. A bulkhead connector, which connects to the Eth-
ernet, mounts on the rear of the XMI PIU bulkhead panel. Figure
2-1 shows how the DEMFA provides access to the FDDI (Fiber
Distributed Data Interface) network, which requires a DECbridge
500 for connection to the Ethernet. Section 4.6.2 describes how to
boot OpenVMS VAX over the Ethernet using the InfoServer.
