===Mechanical layout=== The 401x series physically consisted of a large CRT display sitting on top of a wheeled cart. The cart held most of the electronics in a vertical case at the back, which could be opened from the front to access various switches and jumpers, as well as providing access to the expansion cards.{{sfn|Tektronix|1974|pp=1-2, A-2}} Inside the enclosure, expansion cards were connected via the Tektronix proprietary "Minibus" system, using a 36-pin card connector with an 8-bit data bus.{{sfn|Tektronix|1974|p=D-8}} In addition to the communications card and various enhancements, an optional "Desk-Top Mounting Kit" allowed the CRT to be placed on a desk, while the electronics cart was connected to it using a cable up to {{convert|10|feet}} away.{{sfn|Tektronix|1974|p=E-1}} The overall build quality of the Tektronix 4010 was excellent, with gold-plated boards of high-quality epoxy fiberglass material. {{citation needed|date=May 2024}}
