DEC 3000 Model 600 and 700 Desktop Workstations
Product Description

Optimized for today’s application developer, the DEC 3000 Model 600 and 700
workstations set the pace for data analysis, CAD/CAM, and large volume
commercial applications. The DEC 3000 Model 600 workstation features a 175
MHz CPU providing 114 SPECint92 and 162 SPECfp92 performance. The DEC
3000 Model 700 workstation offers the most performance of any desktop
workstation for customers who need the absolute best on their desktop. The
Model 700 features a 225-MHz CPU providing 163 SPECint92 and 231
SPECfp92 performance—42% more performance than the Model 600.
The open TURBOchannel I/O bus provides three option slots that can be used
for network expansion and graphics options, including 2D graphics accelerators,
3D Z-buffered graphics, and multi-screen graphics systems.
The desktop enclosure supports a maximum of 512 Mbytes of memory, and
includes brackets for two fixed disk drives and one removable media device.
Seven additional external storage drives are supported via a second integral Fast
SCSI-2 controller. Fast SCSI-2 TURBOchannel option cards support 14
additional external devices.
For communication and networking needs, the system is equipped with thick
wire and 10BaseT Ethernet connectors; an EIA-232 serial port, an ISDN port
and a printer/console port. An optional TURBOchannel FDDI controller is
available. The system provides a 100-Mbyte-per-second I/O bus, all of this in an
enclosure that fits comfortably on a desk.
The DEC 3000 Model 600 and 700 workstations offer a choice of operating
systems: DEC OSF/1 or OpenVMS. And Digital's unparalleled investment
protection program provides a cost-effective upgrade path for users of older
workstations who are ready to make the move to Alpha systems.

Step 3c—SCSI Cables and Cabling Information
SCSI cabling recommendations:
•

•

Maximum cable length for SCSI-2 (5 Mbytes/second) =
4 meters (13 feet)
Maximum cable length for Fast SCSI-2 (10
Mbytes/second) = 3 meters (10 feet)
Maximum cable length for FWD SCSI-2 (20
Mbytes/second) = 25 meters

•

Include the internal cabling in the expansion box when
calculating maximum bus length. Digital expansion
boxes include approximately 1 meter of internal SCSI
cable. Note: Internal SCSI cable calculations for
Models 600 and 700 systems does not need to be
considered in these calculations.
Devices that operate in Fast SCSI-2 mode include:
RZ25L, RZ26L, RZ28, RZ73

Step 4a—Multi-Screen TURBOchannel Graphics Options (Field Installed)
To build a multi-screen system, add TURBOchannel graphics cards and select compatible monitors from Step 4. Each
additional monitor requires a country-specific power cord from Step 11.
•

•
•

Add graphics card for each additional monitor provided
there are free TURBOchannel slots. Three monitors are
supported per system.
Graphics options cannot be mixed.
DEC OSF/1 and OpenVMS systems support maximum
of three graphics option cards with three monitors.

•

•
•

Multi-screen systems expand monitor area. They are
single-user systems, with one keyboard and one mouse.
Monitor cables included with each graphics option.
TcE graphics options can be used with multiple
monitors.

Step 5—TURBOchannel Multimedia Options–DEC OSF/1 Systems Only (Field Installable)
Workstations running DEC OSF/1 include a license for Multimedia Services. See Step 10 for ordering information on
Multimedia Services Runtime documentation kit and Multimedia Services development kit license and documentation.
