No.  The 6000-series just has a serial console.

I've used these in more than one job, but I never had to open them up
to fix them - they were way more reliable than the older models I
worked on in the 80s and 90s.

Nice machines, good amount of horsepower for the era, easy to
upgrade... I just live way too far away to consider attempting to get
it.

It's also overkill for a single-user workstation.  ;-)
