Signal names of more importance from a hardware point of view are rendered in bold (such as Reset*). The asterisk appended to the signal name (as in Reset*) indicates the signal is low-active.
A range of bits uses a colon as a separator; for instance, (15:0) represents the 16-bit range that runs from bit 0, inclusive, through bit 15. In some places an ellipsis (15...0) or partial ellipsis (15..0) may used in place of a colon for visibility.
Unfamiliar terms presented for the first time are printed in bold letters, and are followed as closely as possible by a definition or description.

MIPS documents are also available for retrieval on-line, through the file transport protocol (FTP). To retrieve them, follow the steps below. The text you are to type is shown in Courier Bold font; the computer's responses are in shown in Courier Regular font.
1. First, place yourself in the directory on your system within which you want to store the retrieved files. Do this by typing:
cd <directory_you_want_file_to_be_in>
2. Access the MIPS document server, sgigate, through FTP by typing:
ftp sgigate.sgi.com
3. The server tells you when you are connected for FTP by responding:
Connected to sgigate.sgi.com.
4. Next (after some announcements) the server asks you to log in by requesting a name and then a password.
Name (sgigate.sgi.com:<login_name>):
5. Login by typing anonymous for your name and your electronic mail address for your password.
Name (sgigate.sgi.com:<login_name>): anonymous
331 Guest login ok, type your name as password.
Password: your_email_address
6. The system indicates you have logged in by supplying an FTP prompt:
ftp>
7. Go to the pub/doc directory by typing:
ftp> cd pub/doc
8. You can take a look at the contents of the doc directory by listing them:
ftp> ls
9. You will find several subdirectories, such as R4200, R8000, and R10000. When you find the subdirectory you want, cd into that subdirectory and retrieve the file you want by typing:
get <filename>
10. This copies the file from sgigate back to your system.
11. When you have retrieved all the files you want, exit from ftp by typing quit:
ftp> quit
12. If the file was encoded for transmission, you must decode it, after retrieval, by typing:
uudecode <filename>
13. If the file was compressed for transmission, you must uncompress it, after retrieval, by typing:
uncompress <filename>
14. If you tarred the file, type:
tar xvof <filename>
