Rf-Series Integrated Storage Elements; Rf-Series Controls And Indicators - DEC VAX 4000 300 Manual

3.1.1 RF-Series Integrated Storage Elements

Your system may have up to four RF-series ISEs or up to three RF-series
ISEs and a tape drive. When your system has multiple ISEs, Digital
recommends that you separate them according to function. For example, if
your system has two ISEs, you may want to use them as follows:
• ISE 0 contains the operating system and applications installed on the
system.
• ISE 1 contains work areas for each user with an account on the system.
The storage capacities and other specifications for RF-series ISEs are listed
in VAX 4000 Model 300 Technical Information.
NOTE: Refer to Appendix B for information on setting or examining
parameters for DSSI devices.

3.1.1.1 RF-Series Controls and Indicators

Each RF-series ISE has controls and indicators on its front panel. To access
the ISE controls you need only open the upper door (top key position).
Figure 3–1 shows the front panel of an RF-series ISE.
NOTE: If your system has less than the maximum number of ISEs: three
if you have a tape drive, or four without the tape drive, a blank ISE front
panel with no controls or indicators is used to cover the empty ISE cavities.
The front panels are required to meet international regulatory standards.
