In This Book 

This book is your guide to using the HP 3000 Series 9X7LX. Use it after
you have set up your system with the Setting Up and Maintaining Your 
System guide, which is the installation guide.  Also, if you are new to
the HP 3000 Series 9X7LX, you may want to read about the system before
you do much with it.  If so, read Understanding Your System, which is a
concept guide.

The instructions in this user's guide assist you in performing tasks that
you need to manage your system and your data files.  The early chapters
give instructions on how to use the menu-driven screens of HP
Easytime/iX.

HP Easytime/iX is a software tool that allows you to manage your system
from easy-to-use screens.  You will be able to perform most of the tasks
for managing your system from the HP Easytime/iX screens.

Another three chapters in this user's guide explain how to communicate
directly with the system by using MPE/iX commands.  Any task that you can
do with HP Easytime/iX you can also do with the MPE/iX commands.  You can
also use the MPE/iX commands to perform tasks that you cannot do with HP
Easytime/iX. Read chapter 1, "Introducing Your System", for a more
complete description of the user's guide.

procedure, practice, or the like, that, if not correctly performed or
adhered to, could result in damage to or destruction of part or all of

Introducing the HP 3000 Series 9X7LX 

Hewlett-Packard's HP 3000 Series 9X7LX computer system for the multiuser
environment combines office computing with mainframe power.  The system

   *   the main computer that fits comfortably alongside a desk or table

   *   the system console connected to the computer for system activities


            

   *   an optional cabinet containing additional disk and tape drives for
       extra data storage

   *   the data communication and terminal controller, also called the
       DTC, that enables you to connect multiple terminals and printers
       to the system

   *   terminals or PCs set up on each user's desktop and connected to
       the DTC

   *   various styles of printers conveniently located for easy access by
       several users
