• OpenVMS 6.0 does not support any VAX 4000 platforms.
• These rules apply to Digital supplied hardware. Third party devices may
not conform to DSSI electrical specification requirements. Therefore,
bus length, ground offset, basic noise margining, and warm swap
characteristics are at risk when using third party devices.
• Like adapters should be connected together whenever possible.
• Like CPUs should be connected together whenever possible.
