System Overview

2.3Mechanical Design

This guide covers six form factors:

■Ultra Slim Desktop (USDT)—Very slim design that can be used in a tradition desktop (horizontal) orientation or as a small tower mounted in the supplied tower stand.

■Small Form Factor (SFF)—A small-footprint desktop requiring minimal desk space.

■Slim Tower (ST)—Slim design that can be used in a tradition desktop (horizontal) orientation or as a small tower mounted in the supplied tower stand.

■Microtower (MT)- A low-height tower that requires less vertical space than a minitower.

■Convertible Minitower (CMT) —an ATX-type unit providing the most expandability and being adaptable to desktop (horizontal) or floor-standing (vertical) placement.

The following subsections describe the mechanical (physical) aspects of models.

ÄCAUTION: Voltages are present within the system unit whenever the unit is plugged into a live AC outlet, regardless of the system's “Power On” condition. Always disconnect the power cable from the power outlet and/or from the system unit before handling the system unit in any way.
