The Five Basic Parts - DEC Personal DECstation 5000 User Manual

This chapter tells you about the parts of your system:
• System unit, including connectors, controls, and indicator lights
• Monitor
• Keyboard
• Mouse
• Power cord and cable
The Personal DECstation 5000 is a desktop workstation that can be configured
in many different ways. Certain basic parts–the system unit, a monitor, a
keyboard, a pointing device–will always be present
of other parts–such as memory modules and internal and external storage
devices–will vary.
A basic system has 8 megabytes of memory and may include an internal
hard disk drive and an internal floppy disk drive. There are two slots for
TURBOchannel option modules. Later chapters of this guide explain how you
can expand both the workstation's storage capacity and its memory.

When used as a server, the Personal DECstation is usually configured without a
graphics monitor and its corresponding LK501 keyboard, as explained in Chapter 8.
