1. Overview

The Continuum 600/1200 Series systems are the first Stratus RISC systems based on the Hewlett Packard PA-RISC HP7100 microprocessor and a new system bus architecture. The Series 600 is an entry-level to mid-range system designed around a 6-slot backplane in the Central Electronic Cabinet (CEC). The Series 1200 version is an expandable high-end system featuring a 12-slot CEC backplane.

The CEC cabinet main chassis boards in the 600/1200 Series include the following:

CPU-Memory Board

physical CPUs) and twin processor (two logical/four physical CPUs). Both are available in 72 or 96 MHz versions with 256 KB instruction cache (Icache) and 256 KB data cache (Dcache) or 1 MB Icache and 1 MB Dcache. Memory sizes range from 128 MB to 512 MB using 128-MB (M702) memory modules, or 512 MB to 2 GB using 512-MB (M713) memory modules. For the most current information on available memory refer to the Continuum Memory Subsystem Technical Reference. The document is also available in PDF format.at

- The CPU-Memory board is available in two designs: uniprocessor (one logical/ two

SCSI-ENET Controller

and Ethernet I/O devices. It contains four differential SCSI interface ports (used for interfacing with mass storage devices such as the D700 disk/tape subsystem and T204/T403 tape drives) and one Ethernet port. Each pair of SCSI-ENET controllers can support up to 48 physical disk drives.

- The SCSI-ENET controller is the interface between the system bus and the SCSI

IO Processor

certain peripheral devices. It interfaces the system bus to two 8-bit IO busses. Each pair of IO processors can support two IOA chassis.

K470 PMC I/O Controller

(PCI) bus. It provides interconnect to the system backplane for up to three PCI I/O adapters in PMC (PCI Mezzanine Card) form factor.

CPU-Memory boards reside in four dedicated slots in the backplane. The remaining slots are configured with SCSI-ENET controllers or IO processors. Recommended slot assignments for various models are shown later in this document.

The CEC cabinet in an AC system contains an AC/DC power system that provides 3600 watts of N+1 DC power. The AC/DC power system residing in each expansion cabinet (except the AC peripheral cabinet, which has no power) provides 2400 watts of N + 1 DC power.

Continuum systems are also designed to be fully Central Office (CO) installable utilizing -48 V DC input power. Each CEC cabinet and DC expansion cabinet in a CO system contains two DC power controllers.

There is no physical control panel on Continuum 600/1200 Series systems. Operating commands are entered at the system console which is connected to the system via the Console Controller card in the CEC cabinet.

- The IO processor manages IO operations, primarily to IOA communications adapters and

- High-speed I/O subsystem based on the Peripheral Component Interconnect
