The console is able to monitor the H7263 regulators and the air mover via the CCL. Thus
the status of the power system can be displayed on the console. Future implementations
may even extend to errorlog packets being provided for the Operating System!
3.1.4 System Modules
Here is a brief summary of current Laser system modules. Note that there are two sorts
of CPU Module, one for the VAX7000/10000, and one for the DEC7000/10000 AXP. This is
the only real hardware difference between the VAX and AXP systems. See Platform
Service Manual for detailed module placement rules.
3.1.4.1 CPU Modules
• VAX 7600/10600 CPU Module:
+ Called KA7AA or LNP (Laser Neon Processor)
+ Based on NVAX+ CISC chipset
+ 4MB backup cache
+ ~40 Specmarks
+ Part No. = E2045-AA/AB
• VAX 7700/10700 CPU Module:
+ Called KA7AB
+ Based on NV5 CMOS-5 CPU chip
+ 138 MHz clock, ~50% faster than KA7AA CPU
+ Cannot be mixed with KA7AA
+ Part No. = E2058-AA
• VAX 7800 Module:
+ Called KA7AC
+ Based on NVAX v5-2 CPU chip
+ 171 MHz clock, ~30% more performance than KA7AB CPU
+ Cannot be mixed with KA7AA or KA7AB
+ Part No. = E2059-AA
• DEC 7600/10600 AXP CPU Module
+ Called KN7AA or LRP (Laser Ruby Processor)
+ Based on 21064, EV4 Alpha RISC chip
+ 4MB backup cache
+ ~150-200 Specmarks
+ Part No. = E2040-AA/YA
