Digital 2100 Server Model A500MP Packages with More Memory
HIGHLIGHTS
o New packaged system variants start with more memory, make maximum memory
capacity of 2 Gbytes achievable without swapping out memory boards
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Digital 2100 Server preconfigured systems announced in April included 64
or 128 Mbytes of memory, depending on the package type. With these packages,
it was not possible to achieve the system's maximum memory capacity without
swapping out the embedded memory board.
Now new preconfigured system variants are available with a larger initial
memory content. The old and new packages compare as follows:
Current Variant New Variant
Order No. (-A9) Content (-B9) Content
DA-251P1-.. 64 MB (MS450-BA) 512 MB (MS451-CA)
DN-251P1-.. 64 MB (MS450-BA) 512 MB (MS451-CA)
DY-251P1-.. 64 MB (MS450-BA) 512 MB (MS451-CA)
DY-251P3-.. 64 MB (MS450-BA) 128 MB (MS450-CA)
Apart from memory size, the new Digital 2100 Server variants are identical
in content to the current variants. All current configuration rules apply.
BENEFITS
Users can now configure systems with a greater memory content, while
preserving memory slots for future growth plus, the maximum memory capacity
of 2 Gbytes can be achieved without swapping existing memory.
