Flash RAM: Internal Flash RAM on DECserver 700;
external on DECserver 716. You can now insert the
Flash RAM card without taking off the cover.

Ethernet Selector Switch: DECserver 716: Up for
10BaseT; down for AUI. On the DECserver 700

716, port numbers are numbered “over and under”;
that is, incremented by alternating the bottom number
(for example, 1), with the top (for example, 2).
