CHAPTER I. SPECIFICATIONS
1.0 INTRODUCTION
This manual describes the specifications, installation and
operation of the MMSll17 memory system.
The MMSll17 is a family of single-card memory systems, designed
for, and fully compatfble with, PDP-ll* Unibus* mini-computers.
It is capable of storing up to 128 kilobytes of data on a
single hex-height module. Parity storage as well as controller
functions are optionally available on the same module.
The power and signal pin-outs are compatible with any hex-SPC
slot and thus obviate the need for a specific memory back panel.
1.1 OPTION DESIGNATIONS
The several available options are designated with a 4 character
suffix to the basic name as shown in the following table:

1.2 PINOUT
All electrical signal connections to the system are made to the
UNIBUS* pins available at the Small Peripheral Controller (SPC)
connectors (i .e., connector row C, D, E and F).

SPECIFICATIONS (cont'd)
1.3 PHYSICAL
The MMS1l17 is imp1 emented o.n one standard "Hex-hei ght" pri nted
circuit card, compatible with all PDP-ll* backpanel connectors and
card cages; it requires only one single (1/2") width connector slot.
1 .4 ENVIRONMENTAL REQUIREMENTS
Storage Temperature Range: o to 70 degrees C.
Operating Temperature Range: o to 70 degrees C.
Relative Humidity: o to 90 percent without condensation
1.5 COMPATIBILITY
The MMS1l17 interfaces electrically with the PDP-l1* UNIBUS* as
well as the newer modified Unibus* and is logically as well as
electrically compatible with the AC and DC parameters specified by it.
1.6 STORAGE CAPACITY
Fully populated capacity is 128 kilobytes; optional 96, 64 or 32
ki 1obytes.
1.7 BUS LOADING
The MMSl17 presents one standard bus load to the UNIBUS*.
This parameter is independent of the memory size or parity options
selected.
1.8 ADDRESSING
The MMS1l17 interfaces to all 18 bus address lines. The memory's
starting address can be selected via switches located in position U58,
to fallon any 4K word boundary between 0 and l12K. In addition, 1 or
2 ki10words of the I/O page (at address l24K to l26K) can selectively
be made available for random access storage. See Table 3 for specific
selections.
