Preface - Digital Equipment MicroVAX 3600 Operation

Preface
This manual describes how to use MicroVAX 3600 and VAXserver 3600/3602
systems. The hardware for the two types of systems is the same. The software
differs because the systems serve different functions. The MicroVAX 3600 is a
timesharing system that uses the VMS, ULTRIX, or VAXELN operating system,
and functions as an end-node on an Ethernet network. The VAXserver 3600
and 3602 are full-function network nodes that use the VMS operating system
and LAVc (Local Area VAXcluster) software. VAXserver systems support
client systems on a Local Area Network (LAN).
The manual is structured as follows:
•
Chapter 1 provides an overview of the systems.
•
Chapter 2 describes how to use the systems.
•
Chapter 3 describes how to use options installed in the systems.
•
The appendix lists related documentation.
•
A glossary explains key terms.
NOTE: VAXserver 3600f3602 systems are designed to offer maximum
performance for applications that do not require timesharing. Some
of
the devices
referred to in this manual are designed for multiuser systems and may not be
suitable for a VAXserver system. Contact your DIGITAL representative
if you
have any questions aobut whether use
of a
specific device is appropriate for your
VAXserver system.
