This document represents official notification of the AcerAltos 7000/FT560TU platform for VINES systems.

A.	Certification Statement

Banyan Systems certifies the AcerAltos 7000 /FT560TU is compatible with VINES 5.50(1), VINES 5.53(0), and VINES 5.54(0) (see note.)  It is important that all VINES systems which utilize the AcerAltos 7000/FT560TU hardware adhere to the following configuration guidelines in order to receive proper support.
 
	Note: The Adaptec OnBoard SCSI AHA 7770 is only Certified and supported under VINES 	5.54(0).

B.	ICA Test
 
	The Two ICA test was run with  12MB of System Memory.  In order to run the system with a 	total of 16Megs of system memory and two ICA's the memory at 15MB-16MB must be 	Reserved for Add-on Card Use. This is done through the Advanced System Configuration.
