PDP-11/05,11/10

This document is the PDP-11/05, 11/10 Computer Manual (EK-11005-TM-003), published by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC). It serves as a comprehensive guide for the PDP-11/05 and PDP-11/10 computer models, which are electrically identical but marketed differently (PDP-11/05 for OEM, PDP-11/10 for end-users).

The manual is divided into five main parts, plus appendices, covering:

1. Computer Description: Provides a general physical overview of the computers, detailing their main components such as the KD11-B Processor, Core Memory (MM11-K and MM11-L), Power Supply, and Backplane. It introduces the UNIBUS architecture, highlighting its bidirectional lines, master/slave relationship, interlocked communication, and control arbitration for peripheral devices and interrupts.
2. KD11-B Processor: Describes the processor's general definition, its interaction with the UNIBUS, and its role as an instruction interpreter. It also covers the PDP-11 instruction set, including addressing modes and instruction differences from other PDP-11 models. (Note: detailed console description, microprogram control, and detailed processor descriptions are referenced to a separate maintenance manual).
3. MM11-K and MM11-L Memories: Offers both general and detailed descriptions of the core memory systems used in these PDP-11 models. It covers memory organization, addressing, read/write current generation and sensing, control logic, and includes detailed memory maintenance procedures and programming tests.
4. Power Supply (for 5-1/4 inch models): Presents a general description of the power supply, including its physical characteristics, output voltages (+5V, +15V, -15V), and specifications. Detailed circuit descriptions and maintenance information, including adjustments, waveforms, and troubleshooting, are also provided.
5. 10-1/2 Inch Mounting Box and Power System: This part specifically details the larger mounting box configurations for the PDP-11/05 and PDP-11/10, including their mechanical design, unpacking and installation procedures, and a dedicated description of the power system used in these larger configurations.

Appendices contain integrated circuit descriptions and computer connector pinouts, vital for maintenance and interfacing.

The document aims to provide information for installation, basic operation (including console use and loading programs from paper tape using Bootstrap and Absolute Loaders), and comprehensive maintenance and troubleshooting of the computer hardware.
