Conventions Used in This Document
Terminology. Unless specified otherwise, the use of "system" refers to
either a DEC 7000 AXP or VAX 7000 system. The DEC 7000 AXP systems
use the Alpha AXP architecture. References in text use DEC 7000 to refer
to DEC 7000 AXP systems.
When a discussion applies to only one system, an icon is used to highlight
that system. Otherwise, the discussion applies to both systems. Thus, the
abstract for a module that applies only to DEC 7000 systems would look
like this:
Book titles. In text, if a book is cited without a product name, that book is
part of the hardware documentation. It is listed in Table 1 along with its
order number.
Icons. The icons shown below are used in illustrations for designating part
placement in the system described. A shaded area in the icon shows the
location of the component or part being discussed.
