These systems are available in three form factors:
Small Form Factor (SFF) – a small-footprint desktop designed for environments where both
performance and space are critical issues.
Slim Desktop (SDT) – a low-profile ATX-type desktop that satisfies expandability needs.
Configurable Minitower (CMT) – an ATX-type unit providing the most expandability and
being adaptable to desktop or floor-standing placement.
The following subsections describe the mechanical (physical) aspects of the Compaq Deskpro
models.
CAUTION: Voltages are present within the system unit whenever the unit is plugged
into a live AC outlet, regardless of the "Power On" condition. Always disconnect the

system unit in any way.
