The '''DECserver 500''' series is a line [[DEC]] [[terminal server]] devices. They are housed in a [[BA213]] [[S-Box]] [[QBus]] enclosure, and include:

* [[KDJ11-D]] J-11 processor
* [[DESQA]]Ethernet controller
* One or more [[CYX08]] 8-line or [[CXA16]] 16-line serial interfaces

The DECserver 500 series does not store configuration or firmware locally; rather, they are down-line loaded over [[Ethernet]] via [[MOP]].
