1.3 System Design

This section presents a design overview and functional descriptions of the key components of the Compaq Deskpro 2000 Series of Personal Computers. All replaceable components are identified in Chapter 3, and removal/replacement instructions are presented in Chapter 5.
1.3.1 Design Overview
The desktop models of the Compaq Deskpro 2000 Series of Personal Computers have a conventional design that uses a pan-type chassis to house the system board, expansion cards, power supply, and mass storage devices. The chassis is supplemented by a riser board attached to the riser brace. The riser board provides a mounting location for the expansion cards.
All internal components are accessible when the hood, held in place by two thumbscrews, is removed. The front bezel is mounted to the front of the chassis. Torx T-15 screws are used throughout the system except for the power supply switch mounting bracket, which uses T-10 screws.
The system board is easily removed from the side of the chassis after the hood and riser board are removed. Two mounting screws secure the riser board to the riser brace. Four mounting screws are used on the Pentium and five screws on the Pentium Pro to secure the system board to the chassis. In addition, the I/O bracket is mounted to the system board and is spared that way.
The riser board mounts perpendicular to the system board. Expansion boards are installed horizontally into the riser board. A single screw attaches each expansion board to the rear panel of the chassis.
The power supply is mounted in the right rear corner of the chassis. The power supply is held in place by five Torx screws, two mounted internally and three that are installed through the rear panel of the chassis.
The minitower models’ chassis is designed to house the system board, riser board, option cards, power supply, and mass storage devices. The use of a riser brace to hold the riser board, and any expansion boards installed, allows for easy access to the system board. The power supply is mounted in the top of the unit.
All internal components are immediately accessible when the side panel, held in place with three thumbscrews, is removed. The front bezel is a separate assembly that mounts to the front of the chassis.
The tray-mounted system board is easily removed by taking off the side panel, removing the riser brace, and then pulling the tray assembly from the chassis. The system board is spared installed in the tray.
Detailed descriptions of the system components are presented in the sections that follow.
1-6 Product Description
1.3.2 System Board
The desktop and minitower models of the Compaq Deskpro 2000 Series of Personal Computers use two basic system board configurations, either a Pentium- or a Pentium Pro–based board. The desktop units have the I/O panel mounted to the system board and are spared with the I/O panel attached. On the minitower, the system board is attached to a sliding tray and is spared with the tray.
1.3.3 Processor
The Pentium-based system boards run at processor speeds of 100MHz to 200MHz. The Pentium Pro-based system boards run at processor speeds of 180MHz and 200MHz.
1.3.4 System Memory
The system supports base (conventional) and extended memory. Operating systems such as MS-DOS, OS/2, UNIX, and all application programs use base memory. For better performance, Windows NT, OS/2, and UNIX, as well as many MS-DOS applications, use extended memory.
The computers ship standard with 60-ns EDO tin-lead (SnPb) SIMMs installed and supports up to 128 megabytes of memory (Pentium models) or 192 megabytes of memory (Pentium Pro models). Either Extended Data Out (EDO) random access memory (RAM) or Fast Page Mode (FPM) dynamic random access memory (DRAM) modules may be used. If EDO and FPM modules are combined in the computer, they must be as matched pairs. For example, two identical EDO modules may be used with two identical FPM modules.
The SIMM sockets on all system boards in this series of computers can be populated with 4-, 8-, 16-, or 32-MB SIMMs in matched pairs. SIMM sockets on the system boards must be populated in pairs of equal size in sequential slots. The SIMMs for the system boards must be 60 ns or 70 ns. Refer to Chapter 5, “Removal and Replacement Procedures,” for information on how to upgrade system memory.
The Pentium-based system boards accommodate a total of four SIMMs. The Pentium Pro-based system boards accommodate a total of six SIMMs.
SIMMs with tin-lead pins must be used for memory upgrades.
System memory speed will be configured on a bank-by-bank basis allowing each bank to run at its
optimum speed.
1.3.5 Cache Memory
Cache memory is very fast memory used for temporarily storing data for fast access by the processor. The faster the processor, the more need there is for temporary data storage. One 256-kilobyte write­back, direct mapped secondary (L2) cache module is installed on the Pentium system board. Cache is standard on models with a speed of 120 megahertz or higher. Cache is optional on lower speed processors. A 256-kilobyte write-back, four-way, set associative secondary (L2) cache is integrated into the processor on Pentium Pro models.
Compaq Deskpro 2000 1-7
1.3.6 Graphics Controllers
The purpose of a graphics controller is to generate the text and graphics images for the monitor screen. The quality of the picture you see depends on the resolution of the monitor and the number of colors that can be displayed. High resolution graphics with many colors require that the graphics controller have its own memory system. The computer comes with one of three graphics controllers:
The Cirrus Logic 5436 PCI performance graphics controller comes standard with 1 megabyte of EDO DRAM, which can be upgraded to 2 megabytes of EDO DRAM.
The Cirrus Logic 5446 PCI performance graphics controller comes standard with 1 megabyte of EDO DRAM, which can be upgraded to 2 megabytes of EDO DRAM.
The Matrox MGA Millennium graphics controller comes standard with 2 megabytes of Windows random access memory (WRAM), which can be upgraded to 4 or 8 megabytes of WRAM.
Supported screen resolutions for each of the above controllers are listed in Chapter 8, "Specifications".
1.3.7 IDE Peripheral Interface
The onboard PCI chipset provides a high-speed, 32-bit PCI/IDE interface, which supports the following:
Up to four PCI/IDE hard drives on the PCI bus
Enhanced Mode 3 and Mode 4 support
Logical block addressing (LBA) of hard drives larger than 528 megabytes
Extended cylinder head sector (ECHS) translation modes
ATAPI devices (such as CD-ROMs) on both IDE interfaces
1.3.8 System I/O

360-kilobyte and 1.2-megabyte 5.25-inch drives
1-8 Product Description
1.3.9 System BIOS
The system BIOS provides ISA and PCI compatibility. Contained in a flash memory device on the system board, the BIOS provides the power-on self-test (POST) and the PCI and IDE auto­configuration utilities.
The system BIOS is always “shadowed.” Shadowing allows any BIOS routines to be executed from fast 32-bit onboard DRAM instead of from the slower 8-bit flash device.
PCI Auto-Configuration
The PCI auto-configuration utility works in conjunction with the Setup program to support using PCI expansion boards in the system. When you turn on the computer power after installing a PCI board, the BIOS automatically configures interrupts, I/O space, and PCI devices. If problems arise or you wish to reconfigure the device, refer to Chapter 7, “Compaq Utilities,” which explains how to use the Setup program. The PCI auto-configuration program complies with version 2.1 of the PCI BIOS specification.
IDE Auto-Configuration
If you install an IDE drive into the computer, the IDE auto-configuration utility automatically detects and configures the drive for operation in the computer. This utility eliminates the need to run the Setup program after you install an IDE drive.
ISA Plug and Play Capability
ISA Plug and Play capability provides auto-configuration of Plug and Play ISA boards and resource management for legacy (non Plug and Play) ISA boards when used with Compaq’s Computer Setup for
F10
Windows (CSW) utility (or Windows 95.
Setup) or a Plug and Play–compatible operating system like Microsoft’s
BIOS Upgrades
Because the BIOS is stored in a flash memory device, you can easily upgrade the BIOS without having to disassemble the system. The flash upgrade process can be accomplished by running a utility from a diskette, a hard drive, or over a network.
The section on Flash ROM in Chapter 7, “Compaq Utilities,” explains how to run the BIOS upgrade utility. For information about the latest BIOS update, contact an authorized Compaq service provider.
1.3.10 Expansion Slots
The computer has two dedicated 16-bit ISA-compatible slots, two dedicated PCI-compatible expansion slots, and one “combination slot” that can be used by either a PCI or an ISA board. For more information about expansion slots and installing expansion boards, see Chapter 5, “Removal and Replacement Procedures.”
1.3.11 Power Supply
The desktop and the minitower computers share a 200-watt rated continuous power supply to provide power for onboard resources, expansion boards, and drives. A switch on the computer back panel sets the power supply to operate at:
115 VAC (in the range of 100-120 VAC; 5.0 A maximum input current)
230 VAC (in the range of 200-240 VAC; 3.0 A maximum input current)
For power supply output ratings, see Chapter 8, “Specifications.”

1.3.15 System Security
The system BIOS provides a power-on password option that is enabled through the Setup program. The computer includes a cable lock provision that makes it possible to lock the computer cover in place to prevent unauthorized access to the system jumpers and other internal components (a padlock is not included). For more information on this and additional security features, refer to Chapter 2, “Troubleshooting,” and Chapter 7, “Compaq Utilities.”
1.3.16 Keyboard/Mouse Controller
The onboard 8042 I/O controller stores the keyboard and mouse controller code. Connectors for the keyboard and mouse are located on the back panel.
1.3.17 Real-Time Clock and CMOS RAM
The onboard I/O controller provides a real-time clock and CMOS RAM. Chapter 5 provides information about installing a new battery.
You can set the time for the clock and the CMOS values by using the Setup program described in Chapter 7, “Compaq Utilities.”
1.3.18 Power Supply Fan
For cooling, a fan is attached to the power supply at the rear of the computer chassis. This fan draws air in through the front of the chassis and exhausts air out the rear of the chassis. This provides air flow across the processor.
1.3.19 Speaker
An internal piezo speaker is mounted on the system board. The speaker provides audible error code information (beep codes) during the power-on self-test (POST) and as required by the software. See Chapter 2, “Troubleshooting,” for beep code information.
