The performance and memory usage of Compaq NAS Client 250 for Open- VMS Alpha and applications based on it are particularly sensitive to system configuration. Full configuration of all subcomponents may re- quire memory in excess of the minimum quoted. Additional memory may also be required based on system loading and usage patterns of the com- ponents. More or less memory may be required depending on whether clients and servers execute on the same system or on different systems.
