This document is the "DECserver 700 Site Preparation and Maintenance (Hardware Owner's Manual)," published in February 1993. It is primarily intended for hardware installers and network managers.

The manual outlines the process for installing the DECserver 700 network access server, verifying its operation, and troubleshooting hardware-related issues. Key topics include:

• Hardware Overview: Describing the DECserver 700 models (700-08 and 700-16), their controls, indicators, connectors, and software loading methods (from Flash RAM or network).
• Site Preparation: Detailing physical, environmental, and electrical requirements for installation.

• Maintenance: Guiding users on replacing and adding memory (SIMs) and Flash RAM cards.
• Troubleshooting: Offering procedures and error codes to diagnose and correct hardware problems.

The DECserver 700 itself is described as a network access server designed to connect devices like printers, terminals, PCs, and modems to Local Area Networks (LANs). It supports various Ethernet standards, features Flash RAM for software loading, and can be expanded with up to 8 Mbytes of SIM memory. The document also includes an FCC Class A computing device notice regarding potential radio frequency interference.
