HP 3000 Manuals

General Information Manual

Customer documentation 

Hewlett-Packard has created comprehensive, high-quality documentation for
HP 3000 hardware and software.  Logically organized and fully indexed so
that information is easy to find, the learning products are written from
the users' point of view.  They identify the actual tasks that users
perform, supply clear explanations, and make frequent use of examples and
illustrations.  The learning products have been extensively tested by
users for appropriate content, organization, readability, and ease of
use.

The learning products are now bundled into sets according to different
tasks that an end user may perform.  They provide clear explanations for
performing these tasks and supply many examples to help perform these
tasks correctly the first time.  Furthermore, these learning products
provide more than just HP-specific information; they provide general
discussions about topics such as database design and structured
programming techniques.

Included with specified 900 Series system shipments is the System
Management Core learning product set.  The System Management Core Plus
learning product set is also included with the larger systems.  The
learning products are orderable as sets from the local Hewlett-Packard
sales office or as individual learning products from the HP DIRECT at
(800) 538-8787.
