Features and benefits

Expansibilitg - HP Vectra 38W

20 PC offers a con~binationof integrated options and room to grow. HP Super VGA, hard and flexible disk controllers, two serial ports, and one parallel port are all incorporated on the PC system board. This leaves the five acces- sory slots free to accommodate key accessories such as facsimile and modem cards. Four mass storage shelves provide room for data storage on 3%-inchand 5%- inch floppy drives as well as space for tape backup of up to

830 Mbytes on small computer standard interface hard disk drives.

P d o m z a n c e- Combination of the 80386SX microcoprocessor with an HP-designed memory cache controller, hard dLsk with less than 17 ms seek time, and the integrated HP Super VGA control- ler means that the HP Vectra 386d 20 PC performs in applications such as LotusB1-2-3: mcrosoft Excel, and AutoCADTMThe performance was tested in a series of independent tests comrnis- sioned by Hewlett-Packard.

Standalone or connected to a local-area network (LAN) -This

expansibility potential is for users who are not currently connected to a LAN. Built-in network security features and optional LAN accessories such as boot- ROM offer easy integration to a LAN.

E r g o m i c a U g designed fea- tures - These include power and reset buttons on the front of the PC for easy access, temperature- regulated fan that generates less noise, and HP Super VGA with a low-flickerscreen refresh rate of 72 Hz that reduces eye strain and fatigue.

Enhanced ease of setup and serviceabilitg -l h s provides

easy access to internal compo- nents because no screws are used to attach the cover. The ROM- based setup program automati- cally determines the amount of memory and the type of mass storage devices installed. The easy access to parts and the setup program reduce the time and expense needed for setup and service.

F l q q g disk-based error utility - This reduces the cost of support by allowing for early diagnosis of problems without a technician.
