It is a computer that had a very short life and is now "not supported" by
HP.  It has both CIO and NIO slots which means that it works with both the
earlier version PA-RISC I/O cards and the new.  The memory it uses is odd
and therefore relatively expensive and is limited to 192Mb in total.
Although you can use single-ended SCSI disk with it given the right add-on
interface card, it must boot off of a 670Mb "internal" HP-IB drive.  This
might present a problem when working with newer versions of MPE/iX.
