Introduction
The
HP
9000 Series
500
is
a family of powerful 32-bit
computers for
scientific'
and
engineering applications
offering a variety of configurations - from integrated or
modular workstations to multi-user systems. With the
Series
500, Hewlett-Packard displays a major
breakthrough in microprocessor technology by packaging
a complete 32-bit processor in a single integrated circuit.
This technology gives
the
Series
500
a significant
price/performance improvenlent over traditional
computer systems
and
eliminates the
need
for a 32-bit
technical computer to operate in a temperature controlled
environment. The result
is
a viable solution for personal,
32-bit engineering computation.
The Series
500
offers tremendous flexibility in
configuring systems to solve a wide range of problems.
The Model
550
is a powerful multi-user system in a
compact size
(13
inches wide x 9 inches high x
21
inches
deep) designed for ease of use. As part of the
HP
"Design Plus Family", its standard size is compatible
Flin-
HEWLETT

PACKARD
with a growing set of
HP
peripherals
and
furniture.
It
can
be stacked in a taboret, a
handy
cabinet
on
wheels that
easily rolls
under
a desk, or it can be
used
stand-alone,
placed
in
a mini-rack
or
on
a CAD worktable. The Model
520
is
an
integrated workstation with keyboard, printer,
mass storage
and
graphics display all
mounted
in a
desktop configuration.
Or
you
have your choice of either
a rack-mountable box (Model
530)
or a mini-cabinet
(Model
540)
that permits selection of only those
peripherals
you
need.
The Model
520
lets you choose between a UNIX t
operating system (HP-UX) or HP's
BASIC
Language
System. The
HP
BASIC system is single-user only while
the
HP-UX system offers single- or multi-user versions.
The Model
530,
540
and
550
offer only the HP-UX
system.
