Choosing a Location for the System Unit
Unsuitable
Locations
The following table lists the various locations where you must
not operate the system unit:
Location
Explanation
Dirty or dusty
locations
Dirt and dust can damage the system
components and clog the system unit
air vents.
Locations exposed to
direct heat or sunlight
Direct heat and sunlight can cause the
system unit to overheat and fail.
Unstable locations
The system unit weighs approximately
54.0 kg (118.8 lb) depending on the
configuration. If you are not placing the
system unit on the floor, make sure that
the location is steady and stable and
can support the weight.
Cable
Considerations
The mouse and keyboard supplied with DEC 2000 Model 500
AXP systems use standard-length cables. However, these
cables may be too short for your requirements. If the cables
are too short, Digital can supply you with cable extensions for
these devices. Contact your Digital sales representative for
information on ordering these cable extensions.
