Intel SYSTEM 310 Hardware Integration Manual page 7

PREFACE
This guide presents the information needed to successfully integrate
hardware into a System 310. This information is aimed at the system
designer whose primary interest is in choosing off-the-shelf
MULTIBUS® boards and using them in a preconfigured System 310.
This book presents three kinds of information that can help you
customize your system. It describes the contents of preconfigured
systems, explains how to choose compatible hardware, and details
how to remove and install hardware. Since this book describes only
the hardware, you may also find it helpful to read the ntroduction to
the System 310 Microcomputer for an overview of both the hardware
and the software in the System 310.
