Descriptions & Illustrations
The following descriptions and illustrations will help you get a picture of what the
computer system will look like and how much room is needed for each piece of
equipment. It is a general guide for the dimensions of common computer
hardware used in the Dimensions system.
CPU (Central Processing Unit)
This is an electronic device where all processing and calculating of the computer
system takes place. It is the main piece of equipment in the computer system.
Often it is referred to simply as “the computer” or “the box”. Ports in the CPU
allow peripheral devices to be hooked up with this central unit, thereby extending
its power to many users.
A typical desktop model looks like this:
Dimensions of CPU
7.00" high
17.50" wide
15.50" deep
Diskette Drive
A typical floor model looks like this:
Every CPU has a system monitor (screen display and keyboard) attached to it.
See System Monitor below.
Dimensions of CPU only
20.00"
high
8.00"
wide
20.00"
deep
If your space is limited or you are concerned with the space requirements of the
CPU, please contact your Implementation Coordinator.
