DECsystem 5900 IPB

This document is an Illustrated Parts Breakdown (IPB) for the DECsystem 5900, identified as EK-D590A-IP-001 and printed on March 23, 1992.

Its primary purpose is to help users identify hardware components and their locations within the DECsystem 5900. Users are instructed to first locate the item in an illustrated figure and then find its numeric callout in the corresponding parts list.

The document is organized by major assemblies, featuring:

• Illustrated Figures: Visual representations of various assemblies (e.g., Kernel, Cabinet, CPU Drawer, Chassis, Mass Storage Enclosure, Front/Rear Doors) with numeric callouts for individual parts.

• Parts Lists: Detailed tables accompanying each figure, providing:

  • Figure and Item Numbers
  • Part Descriptions (indicating subassemblies with asterisks)
  • DEC/Vendor Part Numbers
  • ECO (Engineering Change Order) Cut-In information
  • "Used On Code" for product variations
  • Cross-references to other figures.

• Part Number/Part Description Index: An alphabetical and numerical index for quick lookup of components.

• ECO/Revision History: A table listing assembly revisions and initial/current levels.

In essence, it serves as a comprehensive technical reference for the physical composition and part identification of the DECsystem 5900.
