Product Description

Your HP Apollo 9000 Model 425s and 425t Computer

The HP Ap ollo9000 Series400is a familyof highp erformance graphics

workstationsbased onthe MotorolaMC68030and MC68040pro cessors. Full

object-co decompatibility ismaintainedwithmostearlierSeries 300and 400

computers. Most400x systems mayb eupgraded to425x systems.

Both the425t andthe 425susethe25 MHzMC68040pro cessor witha built-in

oatingp oint copro cessor.

Muchof thefunctionalityfortheSeries 425computersis containedon a

singlesystem b oard. Mostof theinterfacecontrollers,CPUcircuits,memory

controllerand graphics/video circuitsareon this systemb oard. Each mass

distinctionismade intheinformation.

Model425t

The425t mayb eused ineithera desktopor desksideconguration. Up to

840Megabytesof internalmass storageisavailable. HP-IB,SCSI, RS-232C

and Centronics TM

p eripherals. RAM may b eexpandedfrom 8to64 Megabytes onthe425t.

Model425s

The425s isan expandable desksidesystemdesigned tomaximizeb oth

exibilityand p erformance. Internal p eripheralsincludeup to2.6Gigabytes

ofdiskcapacity,optional CD ROMdriveand optional DigitalData Storage

(DAT) tape drive. Upto 128Megabytes of RAM arep ossible. HP-IB,SCSI,

RS-232Cand Centronics-compatiblep orts provideadditionalinterfaces for

externalp eripherals. Inaddition,options toadd an internal I/Oexpanderwith

3 DIO-II slotsor4 EISA slotsmayb e purchased.

EverySeries 400workstationalso requires alocalization kit(Part No. A1098A

forHP-UX Release 7.05and A1099BforHP-UX Release 8.0). Thiskitsupplies

the necessarykeyb oard, mouseandp owercords forthesystem. Ifexternal

SCSI p eripheralswill b eused, you must alsoorder theappropriate SCSIcables

and terminator.

When orderedwith aninternaldisk, Model425s/tcomputers featureHP's Run

is theHP VisualUser Environment(VUE), arich graphicaluserenvironment

based on theindustrystandardOSF/Motif interfaceproviding familiarityand

ease-of-use.

The PersonalVRXP3 orTurb oVRXgraphics systems also comewith HP's

Personal Visualizersoftware.

Memory

User-installableRAM b oardsprovidethe425with RAMin incrementsof 8,16

and 32 Mbyte blocks. Theyhave anErrorChecking and Correcting(ECC)

ability. Standard RAMis 8 Mbytes, expandable to64 Mbytesforthe 425tand

16Mbytesexpandable to128Mbytesforthe425s.

RAM b oardsareused inpairs. Thereare eightsockets on thesystemb oard for

fourb oard pairs. RAM Upgradesare available asfollo ws:

two4 Mbyte b oardsthat add an8 Mbyteblockof memory.

two8 Mbyte b oardsthat add a16 Mbyteblockofmemory.

two16 MbyteRAM b oardsthat add a32 Mbyteblockofmemory(for 425s

only)

Forexample, toobtain themaximum64 Mbyte ofRAM forthe425t would

requirefour16 MbyteRAM Board pairs( i.e. eight 8Mbyteb oards) inserted

intheeightsockets.

withall 425tsystems.

RS-323 SerialInterface

A single9-pin RS-232 serialinterfacep ort isprovided. Unlikeother Series400

computers,the RS-232interfacefortheModel425s/tcannot b econgured

underBo otROMcontrol. Interfacevaluessuch asremote/localarenotused.

interface protocols.

Somecongurationparameters areavailable underBo otROMcontrol in

Conguration Mode forinternal interfaces.

HP-HIL Interface

TheHP-HIL connector on therearpanel acceptsa varietyof HP-HILinput

devices(keyb oard, mouse,etc.). Keyb oards arenormally connectedand b oth
