VAX
7000
VAX 7000 systems interface with various devices and sys-
tems through XMI bus adapters. The CIXCD adapter con-
nects the VAX 7000 system through the XMI bus to a VM-
Scluster. If your system connects to a DSSI subsystem, this
installation must be done before the CI connections (see
Chapter 5).
