Software Functional Overview
3.3.2 System Memory
The system memory consists of SDRAM memory on 64-bit bus and the module size options
are 128/256/512/1GMB upward. The BIOS will automatically detect the amount of memory in
the system and configure CMOS accordingly during the POST (Power-On Self Test) process.
This must be done in a way that requires no user interaction.
The Video subsystem used External DDR memory of Video memory. The system will
support the true ZV port, the Microsoft Direct 3D assist, simultaneous display, monitor
sense for auto display on boot and VESA Super VGA function call.
Supported Video Mode
The following is the display modes supported by the Intel Mobility Video control in
LCD only, CRT only, and simultaneous mode. The VGA BIOS will allow mode sets of
resolutions greater than the panel size but only show as much mode display as will fit
on the panel.
Supported standard VGA modes:
The VGA BIOS supports the IBM VGA Standard 7-bit VGA modes numbers.

Note: “*” The modes may not be available. Their availability should be determined by VESA
function calls.
Panel Type Initialization
The VGA BIOS will issue INT 15h function call during POST. This function call allows
the system BIOS to specify the panel type to the VGA BIOS. The system BIOS should
get the panel type from GPIO pins before the VGA chip initialized, and pass this
information to VGA BIOS through INT 15 Function 4E00h.

3.3.4 Enhanced IDE
The system BIOS must be ready to support 4 IDE devises on two controllers. The BIOS
support Ultra DMA33/66/100 and also supports automatic configuration of drives using
both the LBA and CHS large drive remapping method. In addition to supporting standard
drives through an auto-configuration process that does NOT require user involvement or
confirmation. The system should automatically do this at POST time in a way that is
transparent to the user. If a drive is connected to the bus, the drive should be
automatically recognized, configured and available for use under MS-DOS 6.2x.
3.3.5 Audio
The audio subsystem will support the requirements identified by the AC’97 specification. Both
software and hardware will control the volume level for the internal audio subsystem. In
addition to the volume control, the user will be able to mute the sound to completely cut off
the volume using both software and hardware.
3.3.7 PCMCIA
The PCMCIA controller chip of the notebook provides the following features:
• Support for 2 separate CardBus slots (one type III or two type II stacked)
• Support for 3.3v, 5v and 12v (flash programming) cards
3.3.8 LED Indicator
The table below lists down the functions of the Status LED indicator:
