System Description
Introduction The DECpc AXP 150 and DEC 2000 Model 300 AXP systems
are high-performance systems with an architecture designed to
run a variety of operating systems. This chapter describes these
systems.
Note
The DECpc AXP 150 and DEC 2000 Model 300 AXP
systems use the same enclosure and basic system
components. They are differentiated by the operating
system and additional hardware options that they
support.
In This Chapter This chapter contains the following sections:
• Operating System Support
• Client/Server Use
• System Features
• Front Panel Controls and Indicators
• Back Panel Ports and Connectors
• Back Panel Controls and Indicators
• Internal Options
• System Unit Key Information
System Description 1–1

Operating System Support
Operating System Support
Summary This section describes how the DECpc AXP 150 and DEC 2000
Model 300 AXP systems can support different operating systems.
System
Architecture The systems use the Digital Equipment Corporation
DECchip 21064™ reduced instruction set computer (RISC)
microprocessor. Based on the Digital™ Alpha AXP™
architecture, it provides all the power of a 64-bit computing
environment. The Alpha AXP architecture privileged
architecture library code (PALcode) provides the ability to
use different operating systems, acting either as a client or a
server.
Supported
Operating
Systems
Table 1–1 lists the operating systems supported by the systems.
It also indicates whether you can operate the system as a client
or a server with each operating system.
Table 1–1 Operating System Support
System Name Operating System Client Support Server Support
DECpc AXP 150 Microsoft® Windows NT™ for AXP
Systems (Windows NT) Yes Yes
DEC 2000
Model 300 AXP System OpenVMS™ AXP Operating System (OpenVMS) No Yes
DEC OSF/1® AXP Operating System
(OSF/1) No Yes
Visual Display
Unit The DECpc AXP 150 and DEC 2000 Model 300 AXP systems use
different visual display units, as follows:
• The DECpc AXP 150 uses a PC-standard monitor.
• The DEC 2000 Model 300 AXP system uses a VT-series
terminal or equivalent. See Chapter 6 for information on
connecting terminals to the system.
1–2 System Description

Client/Server Use
Client/Server Use
Summary This section describes the different uses to which you can put
these systems, depending on whether it is a client system or a
server system.
Client Systems Client systems use the Windows NT operating system. You can
use a client system for the following tasks:
• To run PC applications locally, especially high-end
applications
• To display the output of applications that you run remotely
on a server, or to run the client portion of client/server
applications
Server Systems Server systems can use any of the supported operating systems.
You can use a server system for the following tasks:
• As a file server, providing disk storage to PCs and other
systems in a local area network (LAN)
• As a print server, providing common printing resources to
PCs and other systems in a LAN
• As a compute server, providing processing power for
client/server applications on one of the supported operating
systems

System Features
System Features
Summary This section describes the features provided by the system.
System
Features Table 1–2 lists the features of the system.
Table 1–2 System Features
Feature Description
64-bit Alpha AXP
RISC architecture The 64-bit architecture provides significant performance advantages over 32-bit
architectures, especially in the areas of
memory and cache bandwidth.
Flexible memory
architecture You can upgrade the system memory from 16 megabytes (M bytes) to 128M bytes
using memory options (see the section
entitled Internal Options ).
Six EISA
expansion slots The extended industry standard architecture (EISA) slots allow you
to include up to six industry standard
architecture (ISA) or EISA option boards.
Standard option boards included with the
system provide the following features:
• Super video graphics array (SVGA)
video adapter
•ThinWire™ and 10BASE-T Ethernet
connection capabilities
• Small computer system interface
(SCSI) storage device connection
capabilities
Other option boards provide different
capabilities (see the section entitled
Internal Options ).
