Introduction
The HP 9000 Series 500 is a family of powerful 32-bit
computers for scientific' and engineering applications
offering a variety of configurations - from integrated or
modular workstations to multi-user systems. With the
Series 500, Hewlett-Packard displays a major
breakthrough in microprocessor technology by packaging
a complete 32-bit processor in a single integrated circuit.
This technology gives the Series 500 a significant
price/performance improvenlent over traditional
computer systems and eliminates the need for a 32-bit
technical computer to operate in a temperature controlled
environment. The result is a viable solution for personal,
32-bit engineering computation.
The Series 500 offers tremendous flexibility in
configuring systems to solve a wide range of problems.
The Model 550 is a powerful multi-user system in a
compact size (13 inches wide x 9 inches high x 21 inches
deep) designed for ease of use. As part of the HP
"Design Plus Family", its standard size is compatible
