THE COMPUTER AT A GLANCE

Your Compaq Deskpro 4000S Personal Computer is a

networked PC in a dramatically smaller form factor. It is

designed specifically for convenient deployment in workspace-

constrained or countertop networked environments. An optional

mounting bracket allows you to mount the computer on, under,

or adjacent to your work surface in a horizontal or vertical

orientation to save more desk space. (See Chapter 5, “Upgrading

the Desktop Computer” for more information on mounting.)

Your computer combines an Intel Pentium Processor with MMX

technology (166 MHz or 200 MHz) with a generous 2.1-GB

hard drive and up to 32 MB of standard SDRAM system

memory.

Upgrades are simple with a slide-out system board and tool-less

removal of most internal components. This chapter describes the

features and components of your Compaq Deskpro 4000S

Personal Computer.
