Description
Factory installed
software (FIS)
The system disk, if installed, contains
the operating system that you ordered.
FIS software saves you time when
installing the system, because you can
boot the operating system directly from
the system disk, without having to spend
time installing it.
Space for five
internal devices
The system supports up to four
internal SCSI devices, including disk
drives, compact disc read-only memory
(CD-ROM) drives, and tape drives (see
the section entitled Internal Options ). A
PC/AT-standard interface RX™26 diskette
drive is a standard device shipped with all
systems.
External ports
The standard system unit provides two
serial ports and a parallel port to which
you can connect peripherals, such as
terminals or printers.
