InfoServer100System

The InfoServer 100 is a general-purpose disk storage server that quickly

and efﬁciently transfers data between disks connected to the server and

remote network client systems. It provides users with a low-cost data

sharing capability that is ﬂexible and easy to manage. Figure 1–1 shows

the system enclosure for InfoServer 100.

The InfoServer 100 can support many diverse applications. For example,

VMS client systems can share software distribution and documentation

on compact discs connected to the server. Some VAX systems can use the

server to load their bootstrap program, then perform a VMS operating

system installation from a compact disc in the server.

System Highlights

Your InfoServer 100 system has many special features:

•Memory

The system comes with 4 megabytes (Mbytes) of internal random

access memory (RAM).

•ThinWire and standard Ethernet connectability

You can connect the InfoServer 100 to standard Ethernet or ThinWire

Ethernet work groups and networks, but not to both types at the same

time.

•RRD40 compact disc drive

One or two compact disc drives are mounted behind the server’s

front panel, depending on your conﬁguration. Figure 1–2 shows the

the InfoServer 100’s system enclosure with the compact disc drives

exposed.
