From page 41 of the RSX-11M-PLUS 4.3 System Generation and Installation Guide, the following values are known-safe for the HEA:
and MAX:
flags when initializing a disk.

RA60 | 24617 | 12308 |
RA70 | 34180 | 25593 |

Section 4.6.6 (page 85) of the November 1998 revision of RSX-11M/RSX-11S Release Notes contains guidance on how to determine appropriate values for disks of arbitrary size. I have paraphrased this information for the sake of brevity, if something is not clear please refer to the documentation itself.
To determine the maximum value for MAX:
, follow these guidelines:
MAXIMUM FILES = ((N-(((N+4095.)/4096.)+9.))*127.)/258.
where N
is the size of your target diskMAX:
to the number of blocks on disk divided by 16.MAX:
to 65500.
The value of HEA:
is derived from the value of MAX:
. In order to determine the maximum HEA:
value for your disk, use the following guidelines:
MAX value ---------- disk size ---------- HEA value <25588 ≤209MB MAX/2 ≥25588 ^ ≤51176 210-419MB 25593 ≥51176 ^ ≤51693 420-423MB 25846 ≥51693 ^ ≤65500 ≥423MB 51693
