CHAPTER 4: Configuration
Usage Notes The Multiport Spooler VIII normally allocates
memory automatically, as required for each job.
Manually allocating memory enables you to reserve
memory exclusively for a given user. The amount you
specify is always available to that user, regardless of
the activities of other users.
Memory is allocated in single 16-KB blocks. The
number of 16-KB blocks available in your Multiport
Spooler VIII depends on the amount of memory
installed in it. The following table shows how much
memory and how many blocks are available with
various memory configurations. (Four 16-KB blocks
are always reserved for internal processing.)
Memory Capacity No. of Available
