chapter 1
THE COMPUTER AT A GLANCE
Your Compaq Deskpro 4000S Personal Computer is a
networked PC in a dramatically smaller form factor. It is
designed specifically for convenient deployment in workspace-
constrained or countertop networked environments. An optional
mounting bracket allows you to mount the computer on, under,
or adjacent to your work surface in a horizontal or vertical
orientation to save more desk space. (See Chapter 5, “Upgrading
the Desktop Computer” for more information on mounting.)
Your computer combines an Intel Pentium Processor with MMX
technology (166 MHz or 200 MHz) with a generous 2.1-GB
hard drive and up to 32 MB of standard SDRAM system
memory.
Upgrades are simple with a slide-out system board and tool-less
removal of most internal components. This chapter describes the
features and components of your Compaq Deskpro 4000S
Personal Computer.
