HP
Apollo
9000
Model 425e
low-cost workstation
The HP Apollo 9000 Model 425e
is a low-cost UNM-system based
workstation with a 25-MHz
MC68040 processor. Well suited
for software engineering (CASE),
architectural engineering (AEC),
desktop publishing (DTP), and
low-end
2D CAD work environ-
ments, this new
pricelperfor-
mance leader is currently the
lowest cost HP-UX or
DomaidOS
color workstation in the HP fam-
ily. It is also well suited for UNM
system client nodes in applica-
tions such as financial trading,
customer service, and information
access.
The HP Apollo 9000 Model 425e
uses a new desktop package de-
sign that measures only 3 x
16%
x 14 inches. The 25MHz MC68040
processor provides performance
of 22.1 MIPS and 11
SPECmarks.
Memory is configurable from
8 to 48 Mbytes, using ECC SIMM
modules.
The graphics system gives
outstanding
X
Window
performance
Three different graphics systems
are available. Each of them has
been tuned to give
X
Window per-
formance. The grayscale graphics
provide multiple shades of gray
with a 19-inch high-resolution
(1,280 x 1,024) monitor. Color
comes in either medium resolu-
tion (1,024 x 768) and a 16-inch
monitor, or high resolution with
a 19-inch monitor standard. All
graphics are 8 planes, so 256
shades or colors may be displayed
from a palette of 16.7 million.
A wide choice of internal periph-
erals is available. The HP Apollo
9000 Model 425e includes two in-
ternal mass storage bays, one for
half-height
5Y4-inch peripherals,
and the other for 3%-inch sizes.
Systems may be purchased disk-
less, or with either a 210- or
420-
Mbyte internal disk. Options on
the single-disked configurations
allow the addition of either a
3%-inch floppy disk drive or a
CD-ROM drive. Any of these in-
ternal peripherals may also be
added through user-installable up-
grade kits to build a system with
two internal disk drives, or to
later add a peripheral to a disk-
less system.
A
full complement of backplane
It0 ports
The HP Apollo 9000 Model 425e
includes a full complement of
backplane
VO ports. It has three
9-pin RS-232-C serial ports, SCSI,
parallel (Centronics compatible),
and Ethernet
(ThinLAN BNC con-
nector or AUI). The system does
not include an EISA slot or HP-IB.
The Model 425e represents an-
other step in the evolution toward
SCSI as
HP's standard mass
storage interface, and toward
Ethernet as our standard net-
working interface. Use of another
HP
Apollo
9000
Series 400 product,
such as the Model
425t, is recom-
mended as a gateway between
Apollo Token Ring and Ethernet
networks. Another new feature
is the availability of a PC style
(PC-101) keyboard. HP-UX 8.0
supports the PC keyboard, which
includes a converter of the key-
board connector to convert to
HP-HIL. The PC-101 keyboard is
available with an additional local-
ization kit
(P/N A2205A).
Either HP-UX 8.0 or Domain/OS
SR10.3 with PSKQ3-91 are re-
quired to support the HP Apollo
9000 Model
425e. Current applica-
tions are object-code compatible
with the Model
425e.
Trade-up program offers
investment protection
The Model 425e is part of the
recently announced trade-up
program, allowing you to easily
trade to another Series 400 or 700
product when needed. With the
Flex 400 program, you can get
Series 400 workstations now and
move to the Series 700 later.
The HP Apollo 9000 Model 425e is
available with standard system
configurations. Several options
are available for each configura-
tion, and additional flexibility is
possible through user-installable
upgrade products. Only the stan-
dard configurations are listed
here.
