System Requirements

A minimum of 8MB of DRAM

Release C or later of the MC88200 cache and memory management unit.

MVME350 firmware revision 2.6 or later.

A terminal attached to the console port of the M8120, MVME181, MVME187, or MVME188 processor board. This terminal is required when booting the system from disk.

Release E.2 or later of the MC88100 processor with the following ROM firmware version:

CPU Board	SST/Boot ROM Firmware version
MVME181	4.1 or higher*
MVME187	1.3 or higher* **
