1.2 InfoServer 150 and 150VXT General Descriptions
The InfoServer 150 is a high performance logical block server that is based on the VAXServer
3100 Model 10E hardware and the InfoServer Software kernal. This software kernal implements the LAD/LAST protocol which enables client systems access to InfoServer 150 storage,
via Ethernet, as if the storage was a locally attached device. Performance is enhanced by
utilizing system memory as a cache for storage data. The MOP protocol is supported and
provides the means of loading system images from the server. The LAT protocol, also supported by the InfoServer SW kernal and allows remote management of InfoServer 150 from
any LAT terminal.
Client software support will eventually include VMS, Ultrix, MSDOS, MAC and OS2. The
InfoServer 150 system allows CD and R/W media sharing with multiple client systems on
the network simultaneously if the have the appropriate client software drivers.
Some major product applications are:
•

Software distribution

•

On-line documentation and database access

•

Boot server for VAX 6000 class systems

•

Page file for X-terminal support.

Introduction 1

The InfoServer 150VXT is derived from the InfoServer 150. The only difference is, at the
time of this writing, the inclusion of an RZ24 SCSI 3.5" R/W disk instead of the RZ23L SCSI
R/W disk. Product differentiation beyond this one difference is accomplished by varying the
system capability with various software packages. Refer to the Product SPD for precise
information concering SW capability.
The remainder of this specification will use the term "InfoServer 150", generically, unless
specific discussion is required to distinguish between the two models.

2 Introduction

CHAPTER 2
INFOSERVER 150 FUNCTIONAL OVERVIEW
2.1 SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The InfoServer 150 uses the VAXServer 3100 Model 10E power, packaging and CPU components as a starting basis for the product. Firmware changes are implemented to the CPU
Base System ROMs, internal cabling is altered and a new product badge is attached to the
enclosure to create the InfoServer variants.
The System CPU module has the following functions/features: CVAX chip running at 60ns
cycle time, 4 MB of system memory, 256KB ROM, ethernet interface (thinwire and AUI), 4
serial lines, two SCSI ports (SCSI A and SCSI B) for internal and external SCSI storage
devices, and a diagnostic display.
InfoServer 150 supports qualified SCSI 3.5" read/write and 5.25" CD read-only half height
storage devices internal to the system enclosure. The two SCSI expansion buses allow the
connection to up to twelve qualified SCSI devices externally. Refer to the InfoServer System
Software SPD for qualified device support.

2.2.1 Central Processor
The central processor consists of a DC580 CVAX. The key features of the central processor
include:
1.

Implements a subset of the VAX instruction set.†

Implements a subset of the VAX data types.

Full VAX memory management.

A 32-bit memory data bus.

2.2.2 Ram Memory
The CPU board provides 4 MB of RAM memory. The memory is longword aligned and can
be read or written in one bus cycle. Memory data integrity is provided by a parity associated
with each byte of memory.
The CPU board also contains a 128 KB parity protected SCSI RAM array. This RAM array
is used to buffer SCSI device transfers.
2.2.3 ROM Memory
The CPU board 256 KB ROM contains the following:
1.

6 InfoServer 150 Functional Overview

A separate 128 KB ROM contains the SCSI controller related code

The function of the Base System ROMs is detailed in the "FUNCTIONAL SPECIFICATION
for TEAMMATE II SYSTEM FIRMWARE".
2.2.4 Ethernet Address ROM
The CPU board contains 32 byte ROM that holds a unique 32-bit network address for each
InfoServer 150 system.
2.2.5 Time of Year Clock
The CPU board contains a battery backed up time of year clock that keeps the date and
time of day. An external, rechargeable, nickle-cadmium battery provides power to the time
of year clock when system power is off. When starting from a fully charged state, the battery
will maintain valid time and date for a minimum of 100 hours. The battery is automatically
recharged when system power is on. In addition to these functions the TOY Ram is used to
store user set up features.
