Dear Internet AphaServer Customer,
The following is important information to guide you in the installation and start up of the Internet
AlphaServer.

Installing the System
The Digital Internet AlphaServer system comes with a VT510 console, a console signal cable, and a
H8571-J console cable adaptor.
The console signal cable should be connected to the H8571-J adaptor, which in turn should be
connected to the COM1 port on the back of the server. The other end of the console signal cable
should be connected to the COM2 port on the back of the VT510. The VT510 keyboard cable should
be connected to the back of the VT510.
