Unpacking the ViewStation

This page describes unpacking the ViewStation and some general information about your new HDS ViewStation X terminal.

Your ViewStation consists of a base unit, with keyboard and mouse, and a display monitor. Your ViewStation also needs HDSware software - one copy for each site, not one for each ViewStation. HDSware is available on CD-ROM or various tape formats. Click here for more information about the HDSware Software.

ViewStation Packaging
The ViewStation is packed in two cartons. They contain:

ViewStation base
Power cord for the base unit

Open the cartons carefully, lift out the components and save the packing materials in case you have to repack the ViewStation or monitor.
