Chapter 2. System Board Features
Riser Card
The system board uses a riser card for expansion. The riser card plugs into the system board, and
adapters plug into the ISA-expansion or PCI-expansion connectors on the riser card. Signals from
adapters are routed to the ISA or PCI buses. Each ISA-expansion connector provides a 16-bit-wide data
path; each PCI-expansion connector provides a 32-bit-wide data path.
Each PCI-expansion connector is capable of driving one low-power Schottky load. Each ISA-expansion
connector is capable of driving two low-power Schottky loads. The ISA bus is permanently set to the PCI
bus speed divided by four.
The PCI bus shares interrupts with the ISA bus. IRQ 3, 5, 9, 10, or 11 is automatically assigned to PCI
adapters during POST. If no interrupts are available for the PCI adapters during POST, an error message
is generated.
One of two types of riser cards is used for expansion. Although both types of riser cards have five
expansion connectors, the number of dedicated PCI and ISA connectors varies. The following table
shows the characteristics of the two types of riser cards.
Note: The enhanced 5x5 riser card has a PCI-to-PCI bridge chip that enables the card to support five
PCI slots.
The computer comes standard with adapters plugged into the expansion slots of the riser card. For more
information, see Chapter 3, “Adapters and Internal Drives” on page 17.
For information on the connector pin assignments, see “ISA Connectors” on page 38 and “PCI Connector”

drives. The PC 365 comes standard with an EIDE or Fast/Wide SCSI hard disk drive, a diskette drive,
and a CD-ROM or a PD/CD-ROM drive.
Note: The appropriate device drivers are provided for the IBM-installed drives.
The following tables show the characteristics of internal drives that come standard with or are available for
the computer.
Table 17. Diskette Drives

Note: Although the maximum number of internal and external drives that can be connected to the SCSI
adapter is fifteen, the actual number of internal SCSI devices that can be installed is limited by the
number of available drive bays in the computer. Only three internal SCSI hard disk drives are
supported when the PD/CD-ROM drive is installed. Also, a maximum of four hard disk drives are
supported when Ultra Wide SCSI hard disk drives are installed.

Note: The PD/CD-ROM drive is a dual-function drive that can be used as a standard CD-ROM reader or
as an optical backup and storage device. When used as a backup and storage device, the
PD/CD-ROM drive uses a rewritable optical disk encased in a cartridge.

Note: Some adapters and hard disk drives draw more current than the recommended limits. These
adapters and drives can be installed in the system; however, the power supply will shut down if the
total power used exceeds the maximum power that is available.
Output Protection
The power supply protects against output overcurrent, overvoltage, and short circuits. Please see the
power supply specifications for details.
A short circuit that is placed on any dc output (between outputs or between an output and dc return)
latches all dc outputs into a shutdown state, with no damage to the power supply.
If this shutdown state occurs, the power supply returns to normal operation only after the fault has been
removed and the power switch has been turned off for at least one second.
Chapter 4. Power Supply
If an overvoltage fault occurs (in the power supply), the power supply latches all dc outputs into a
shutdown state before any output exceeds 130% of the nominal value of the power supply.

Chapter 6.System Compatibility
This chapter discusses some of the hardware, software, and BIOS compatibility issues for the computer.
Refer to
options.
Hardware Compatibility
This section discusses hardware and BIOS compatibility issues that must be considered when designing
application programs.
Many of the interfaces are the same as those used by the IBM Personal Computer AT. In most cases,
the command and status organization of these interfaces is maintained.
The functional interfaces are compatible with the following interfaces:
The Intel 8259 interrupt controllers (edge-triggered mode)
The National Semiconductor NS16450 and NS16550A serial communication controllers
PC 365 System (Type 6589) Compatibility Report
for a list of compatible hardware and software
The Motorola MC146818 Time of Day Clock command and status (CMOS reorganized)
The Intel 8254 timer, driven from a 1.193 MHz clock (channels 0, 1, and 2)
The Intel 8237 DMA controller, except for the Command and Request registers and the Rotate and
Mask functions; the Mode register is partially supported
The Intel 8272 or 82077 diskette drive controllers
The Intel 8042 keyboard controller at addresses 0060h and 0064h
All video standards using VGA, EGA, CGA, MDA, and Hercules modes
The parallel printer ports (Parallel 1, Parallel 2, and Parallel 3) in compatibility mode
Use the following information to develop application programs. Whenever possible, use the BIOS as an
interface to hardware to provide maximum compatibility and portability of applications among systems.
26 Copyright IBM Corp. 1996, 1997
Chapter 6. System Compatibility
Hardware Interrupts
Hardware interrupts are level-sensitive for PCI interrupts and edge-sensitive for ISA interrupts. The
interrupt controller clears its in-service register bit when the interrupt routine sends an End of Interrupt
(EOI) command to the controller. The EOI command is sent regardless of whether the incoming interrupt
request to the controller is active or inactive.
The interrupt-in-progress latch is readable at an I/O-address bit position. This latch is read during the
interrupt service routine and might be reset by the read operation, or it might require an explicit reset.
Note: For performance and latency considerations, designers might want to limit the number of devices
sharing an interrupt level.
With level-sensitive interrupts, the interrupt controller requires that the interrupt request be inactive at the
time the EOI command is sent; otherwise, a new interrupt request will be detected. To avoid this, a
level-sensitive interrupt handler must clear the interrupt condition (usually by a read or write operation to
an I/O port on the device causing the interrupt). After processing the interrupt, the interrupt handler:
1. Clears the interrupt
2. Waits one I/O delay
3. Sends the EOI
4. Waits one I/O delay
5. Enables the interrupt through the Set Interrupt Enable Flag command
Hardware interrupt IRQ9 is defined as the replacement interrupt level for the cascade level IRQ2.
Program interrupt sharing is implemented on IRQ2, interrupt 0Ah. The following processing occurs to
maintain compatibility with the IRQ2 used by IBM Personal Computer products:
1. A device drives the interrupt request active on IRQ2 of the channel.
2. This interrupt request is mapped in hardware to IRQ9 input on the second interrupt controller.
3. When the interrupt occurs, the system microprocessor passes control to the IRQ9 (interrupt 71h)
interrupt handler.
4. This interrupt handler performs an EOI command to the second interrupt controller and passes control
to the IRQ2 (interrupt 0Ah) interrupt handler.
5. This IRQ2 interrupt handler, when handling the interrupt, causes the device to reset the interrupt
request before performing an EOI command to the master interrupt controller that finishes servicing
the IRQ2 request.
Chapter 6. System Compatibility27
Diskette Drives and Controller
The following tables show the reading, writing, and formatting capabilities of each type of diskette drive.
Table 37. 5.25-Inch Diskette Drive Reading, Writing, and Formatting Capabilities
1. Do not use 5.25-inch diskettes that are designed for the 1.2 MB mode in either a 250/500 KB or
300/500 KB diskette drive.
2. Low-density 5.25-inch diskettes that are written to or formatted by a high-capacity 1.2 MB diskette
drive can be reliably read only by another 1.2 MB diskette drive.
Chapter 6. System Compatibility
Copy Protection
The following methods of copy protection might not work in systems using the 3.5-inch, 1.44 MB diskette
drive.
Bypassing BIOS routines:
– Data transfer rate: BIOS selects the proper data transfer rate for the media being used.
– Diskette parameter table: Copy protection, which creates its own diskette parameter table, might
not work in these drives.
Diskette drive controls:
– Rotational speed: The time between two events in a diskette drive is a function of the controller.
– Access time: Diskette BIOS routines must set the track-to-track access time for the different types
of media that are used in the drives.
– ‘Diskette change’ signal: Copy protection might not be able to reset this signal.
Write-current control: Copy protection that uses write-current control does not work, because the
controller selects the proper write current for the media that is being used.
Hard Disk Drives and Controller
Reading from and writing to the hard disk is initiated in the same way as in IBM Personal Computer
products; however, new functions are supported.
28Technical Information Manual
Chapter 6. System Compatibility
Software Compatibility
To maintain software compatibility, the interrupt polling mechanism that is used by IBM Personal Computer
products is retained. Software that interfaces with the reset port for the IBM Personal Computer
positive-edge interrupt sharing (hex address 02Fx or 06Fx, where x is the interrupt level) does not create
interference.
Software Interrupts
With the advent of software interrupt sharing, software interrupt routines must daisy-chain interrupts. Each
routine must check the function value, and if it is not in the range of function calls for that routine, it must
transfer control to the next routine in the chain. Because software interrupts are initially pointed to
address 0:0 before daisy chaining, check for this case. If the next routine is pointed to address 0:0 and
the function call is out of range, the appropriate action is to set the carry flag and do a RET 2 to indicate
an error condition.
Machine-Sensitive Programs
Programs can select machine-specific features, but they must first identify the machine and model type.
IBM has defined methods for uniquely determining the specific machine type. The machine model byte
can be found through Interrupt 15H, Return System Configuration Parameters function ((AH)=C0H).
