MicroVAX 2000 Parts & Options

Power Supply

• H7848 Power Supply
• 54-17163 Resistor Load Module Option

Memory Options

Only one MS400 memory module may be connected to a KA410-A system module, which has 2MB on-board memory.

• MS400-AA 2MB [2]
• MS400-BA 4MB [2]
• MS400-CA 12MB [8]

Mass Storage Options

• RX33 5.25" Floppy Drive
• RD32 42MB Disk Drive
• RD53 71MB Disk Drive
• RD54 159MB Disk Drive
• TK50 96MB Cartridge Tape Drive

Communication Options

• DHT32 Asynchronous Serial Line Option [5]
• DSH32 Synchronous/Asynchronous Serial Line Option [6]
• DST32 Synchronous Serial Line Option [7]
• DESVA VAXstation 2000 / MicroVAX 2000 ThinWire Ethernet Option [2]

Expansion Boxes

• BA40A Expansion Adapter
• TK50Z-F Tape Expansion Box
• RD53-F Disk Expansion Box
• RD54-F Disk Expansion Box

You need the BA40A expansion adapter to connect any of the expansion boxes, but only one adapter is needed for two boxes.

The expansion box houses either a tape drive or a fixed disk drive and is shipped with a drive cable. The drive cable connects the expansion box to the MicroVAX 2000 / VAXstation 2000 system unit's expansion adapter. The expansion adapter must already be installed on the bottom of the MicroVAX 2000 / VAXstation 2000 system unit before the expansion box is connected.

You may install a total of two expansion boxes (one with a fixed disk and one with a tape drive). If you are installing more than one expansion box, first install the expansion box with the tape drive, and then install the expansion box with the fixed disk.
