Contents
A list of associated documentation.
A
list of terms that you may not be familiar
with, along with
their definitions.
To assist you in locating information quickly.
There are two ways to add options inside the system unit: add
the options yourself or have a Digital service representative add
them.
If you choose to add the options, note that system preparation
takes about 20 minutes, additions take about 10 to 15 minutes
per option, and system restoration takes about 10 minutes, on
the average.
The instructions in
this guide assume you are prepared to open
the system
unit, disconnect and connect internal cables, and use
antistatic precautions_ You should be familiar with concepts such
as SCSI addresses,
and the following diagnostic test displays:
System power-up messages
Configuration displays
resulting from the show config, show
mem, and show dev console commands
For more information on these diagnostic test displays, refer to
the DEC 3000 AXP Model 500I 500S Owner's Guide. For more
information on SCSI concepts, refer to
Small Computer System
Interface: An Overview, listed in Appendix A.
Improper addition of a drive or module could lead to damage and
failure of that drive or module, or to damage of the system. The
DEC 3000 AXP Model 500/500S warranty may not cover such a
failure.

The Software Product Description (SPD) is the official defining
document for software products licensed by Digital
Equipment
Corporation, including third-party products licensed by Digital.
An SPD describes all important functional characteristics of the
software. The terms and conditions under which the corporation
sells
and licenses its software products identify SPDs as the
documents that specify Digital's obligation under software
warranty.
SPDs also describe a software product's system environment,
and identify required and optional hardware and software. All
information contained in
the SPD is valid in the international
marketplace.
For more information on
the SPD for your operating system,
please contact your Digital sales representative.

Options Overview
External Options
A number of options are available for the DEC 3000 AXP Model

as drives and modules, are internal
options. Others, such as a printer or modem, are external
options connected to the system by a cable.
This
chapter lists and illustrates internal options for the DEC
3000 AXP Model 500/500S system
and shows where to install
them in the system unit. See Chapter 12 for information on
external options.
