The 5400 and 5500 were both QBUS based MIPS systems which ran Ultrix.
They had a VAX coprocessor for console and field service diagnostics.
The 5400 has DSSI or SDI storage by default. The 5500 was faster and has
(I believe, by default) SCSI storage.
They use standard QBUS components and memory boards for similar VAX
machines. Nice if you don't mind Ultrix. I don't believe there is a
functioning NetBSD for either.

I'm guessing that they're MIPS based systems like the DECsystem 5000
and
3100. From the "Installation Guide" that comes up as 3rd or 4th in a
google search (and which I have a mirrored copy on my web site:
http://computer-refuge.org/classiccmp/dec94mds/331aain1.pdf ), they
look to be the size of a VAX 4000/200(-/700) and use s-box QBUS
interface cards.
- two what seem to be DECsystem 5500 systems
