Appendix A: Questions and Answers
DPServer Requirements and Restrictions
Are there any other "requirements" which are not mandatory, but are
highly recommended?
highly recommended?
Yes. A tape backup system is strongly recommended. You may wish to
consider either an 8mm unit which allows storage of up to 5 Gb of
data per tape, or a 1.4" cartridge unit that holds up to 1 Gb per tape.

If your DPServer is to support Ethernet, your RS/6000 must have more
than 4 slots, as DPServer for the IBM RS/6000 requires 4 card slots
(video card, Token Ring card, multi-protocol adapter, and S/370 channel
card). Alternatively, the Ethernet could be connected to the Token Ring
via an external router, which does not require an extra card slot.

and network connectivity for both Xerox and third-party printers.
Printers directly attached to the network must have the appropriate
network interface card and do not support 2-way communication with
DPServer.

Can both Xerox and non-Xerox printers be daisy-chained to an
RS/6000 channel card?
RS/6000 channel card?
No. DPServer supports only Xerox printers daisy-chained to an
RS/6000 channel card.
RS/6000 channel card.
How many Xerox printers can DPServer support?
Each channel card supports up to four printers. The total number of
printers that can be supported by DPServer is dependent on the
number of available card slots in the RS/6000.
