Terminology Usage
Attention! The term
Use of reserved areas can cause compatibility problems, loss of data, or permanent damage to the
hardware. When the contents of a register are changed, the state of the reserved bits must be preserved.
When possible, read the register first and change only the bits that must be changed.
reserved
describes certain signals, bits, and registers that should not be changed.
PC 300GL User
In this manual, some signals are represented in a small, all-capital-letter format (-ACK). A minus sign in
front of the signal indicates that the signal is active low. No sign in front of the signal indicates that the
signal is active high.
Copyright IBM Corp. November 1998 vii
The use of the term
hex
indicates a hexadecimal number. Also, when numerical modifiers such as “K”,
“M” and “G“ are used, they typically indicate powers of 2, not powers of 10. For example, 1 KB equals
1024 bytes (210), 1 MB equals 1048576 bytes (220), and 1 GB equals 1073741824 bytes (230).
When expressing storage capacity, MB equals 1 000 KB (1024000). The value is determined by counting
the number of sectors and assuming that every two sectors equals 1 KB.
Note: Depending on the operating system and other system requirements, the storage capacity available
to the user might vary.

Chapter 2. System-Board Features
IDE Bus Master Interface
The system board incorporates a PCI-to-IDE interface that complies with the
Extensions
The Intel PIIX4E bridge functions as a
compliant. It connects directly to the PCI bus and is designed to allow concurrent operations on the PCI
bus and IDE bus. The chip set is capable of supporting PIO mode 0–4 devices and IDE DMA mode 0–2
devices, Ultra DMA 33 transfers up to 33 Mbytes/sec.
The IDE devices receive their power through a four-position power cable containing +5, +12, and ground
voltage. When adding devices to the IDE interface, one device is designated as the master device and
another is designated as the slave or subordinate device. These designations are determined by switches
or jumpers on each device. There are two IDE ports, one designated 'Primary' and the other 'Secondary,'
allowing for up to four devices to be attached. The total number of physical IDE devices is dependent on
the mechanical package.
For the IDE interface, no resource assignments are given in the system memory or the direct memory
access (DMA) channels. For information on the resource assignments, see “Input/Output Address Map”
on page 40 and Figure 44 on page 44 (for IRQ assignments).
Two connectors are provided on the riser for the IDE interface. For information on the connector pin
assignments, see “IDE Connectors” on page 35.

cycles to ISA bus cycles; the chip set also includes all the subsystems of the ISA bus, including two
cascaded interrupt controllers, two DMA controllers with four 8-bit and three 16-bit channels, three
counters equivalent to a programmable interval timer, and power management. The PCI bus operates at
33 MHz. The ISA bus operates at 8.25 MHz.
For the ISA bus, no resource assignments are given in the system memory or the DMA channels. For
information on resource assignments, see “Input/Output Address Map” on page 40 and Figure 44 on
page 44 (for IRQ assignments).
USB Interface
Universal serial bus (USB) technology is a standard feature of the computer. Using the chip set, the
system board provides the USB interface with two connectors. A USB-enabled device can attach to each
connector, and if that device is a hub, multiple peripherals can attach to the hub and be used by the
system. The USB connectors use Plug and Play technology for installed devices. The speed of the USB
is up to 12 MB/sec with a maximum of 127 peripherals. The USB is compliant with Universal Host
Controller Interface Guide 1.0.
Features provided by USB technology include:
Support for hot-pluggable devices

The following figure shows the parallel port assignments used in the configuration.
The default setting for the parallel port is Parallel 1.
The system board has one connector for the parallel port. For information on the connector pin
assignments, see “Parallel Port Connector” on page 39.
Keyboard and Mouse Ports
The keyboard and mouse subsystem is controlled by a general purpose 8-bit microcontroller; it is
compatible with 8042AH. The controller consists of 256 bytes of data memory and 2 KB of read-only
memory (ROM).
The controller has two logical devices: one controls the keyboard and the other controls the mouse. The
keyboard has two fixed I/O addresses and a fixed IRQ line and can operate without the mouse. The
mouse cannot operate without the keyboard because, although it has a fixed IRQ line, the mouse relies on
the addresses of the keyboard for operation. For the keyboard and mouse interfaces, no resource
assignments are given in the system memory addresses or DMA channels. For information on the
resource assignments, see “Input/Output Address Map” on page 40 and Figure 44 on page 44 (for IRQ

Cabling Requirements for Wake on LAN Adapters
The PC 300GL has a 3-pin header on the system board that provides the AUX5 and wakeup signal
connections. Newer Wake on LAN adapters have a single 3-pin header that connects to a 3-pin header
on the system board. Some Wake on LAN adapters have two headers: a 3-pin, right-angle header for
providing AUX5 (Auxiliary 5 volts), and a 2-pin straight header for connecting the wakeup signal to the
system board. These Wake on LAN adapter options will provide a Y-cable that has the 3-pin system
board connector on one end and splits into the 3-pin and 2-pin connectors required to interface the card.
Chapter 3. Physical Specifications17
Chapter 4. Power Supply
Chapter 4. Power Supply
The power supply requirements are supplied by 145-watt PC 300GL power supply. The power supply
provides 3.3-volt power for the Pentium microprocessor and core chip set and 5-volt power for ISA and
PCI adapters. Also included is an auxiliary 5-volt (AUX 5) supply to provide power to power management
circuitry and a Wake on LAN adapter. The power supply converts the AC input voltage into four DC
output voltages and provides power for the following:
System board
Adapters
Internal drives
Keyboard and auxiliary devices
USB devices
A logic signal on the power connector controls the power supply; the front panel switch is not directly
connected to the power supply.
The power supply connects to the system board with a 2 x 10 connector.
Power Input
The following figure shows the input power specifications. The power supply has a manual switch to
select the correct input voltage.

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. See the power
supply specifications on the previous pages for details.
Chapter 4. Power Supply
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.
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.
Connector Description
The power supply for the PC 300GL has four, 4-pin connectors for internal devices. The total power used
by the connectors must not exceed the amount shown in “Component Outputs” on page 19. For
connector pin assignments, see Appendix A, “Connector Pin Assignments” on page 28.

Configuration/Setup Utility Program
The Configuration/Setup Utility program provides menus for selecting options for devices, I/O ports, date
and time, system security, start options, advanced setup, ISA legacy resources, and power management.
More information on using the Configuration/Setup Utility program is provided in
PC 300GL User Guide
.
Advanced Power Management (APM)
The PC 300GL computers come with built-in energy-saving capabilities. Advanced Power Management
(APM) is a feature that reduces the power consumption of systems when they are not being used. When
enabled, APM initiates reduced-power modes for the monitor, microprocessor, and hard disk drive after a
specified period of inactivity.
The BIOS supports APM 1.2. This enables the system to enter a power-managed state, which reduces
the power drawn from the AC wall outlet. Advanced Power Management is enabled through the
Configuration/Setup Utility Program and is controlled by the individual operating system.
For more information on APM, see
PC 300GL User Guide
and
Understanding Your Personal Computer
.
Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI)
When Automatic Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) BIOS mode is enabled, the operating system is
allowed to control the power management features of your computer and the settings for APM BIOS mode
are ignored. Not all operating systems support ACPI BIOS mode. Refer to your operating system
documentation to determine if ACPI is supported.
Flash Update Utility Program
The flash update utility program is a stand-alone program to support flash updates. This utility program
updates the BIOS code in flash and the Machine Readable Information (MRI) to different languages.
The flash update utility program is available on a 3.5 inch diskette.
Diagnostic Program
The diagnostic program that comes with PC 300PL and PC 300GL computers is provided as a startable
IBM Enhanced Diagnostic
independently of the operating system. The user interface for running the diagnostics and utilities is
provided by WaterGate Software's PC-Doctor. It can also be downloaded from the following World Wide

Universal Management Agent
The Universal Management Agent (UMA) is a collection of tools designed to use the hardware features on
your computer to make managing your system over a network easier. The Universal Management Agent
Browser launches and manages each tool from a central interface using ActiveX controls in an Internet or
Intranet environment. You can use the tools locally on the computer where UMA is installed or remotely
by using the Internet or Intranet to access the computer where UMA is installed to remotely manage and
monitor your computer.
UMA can also integrate into a number of server-based management programs such as IBM Netfinity
Manager; enterprise-management systems such as Tivoli TME 10, Tivoli NetView, and Microsoft System
Management Server (SMS); and Microsoft Management Console (MMC). Additionally, you can configure
the UMA program to forward simple network management protocol (SNMP) traps to workgroup- and
enterprise-level network management applications such as Microsoft SMS, Tivoli NetView, and Computer
Associates Unicenter.

Chapter 6. System Compatibility
This chapter discusses some of the hardware, software, and BIOS compatibility issues for the computer.
Refer to
Hardware Compatibility
This section discusses hardware, software, 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:
National Semiconductor NS16450 and NS16550A serial communication controllers
Compatibility Report
for a list of compatible hardware and software options.
Motorola MC146818 Time of Day Clock command and status (CMOS reorganized)
Intel 8254 timer, driven from a 1.193 MHz clock (channels 0, 1, and 2)
Intel 8237 DMA controller, except for the Command and Request registers and the Rotate and Mask
functions; the Mode register is partially supported
Intel 8272 or 82077 diskette drive controllers
Intel 8042 keyboard controller at addresses hex 0060 and hex 0064
All video standards using VGA, EGA, CGA, MDA, and Hercules modes
Parallel printer ports (Parallel 1, Parallel 2, and Parallel 3) in compatibility mode
Use the above 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.
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
24 Copyright IBM Corp. November 1998
Chapter 6. System Compatibility
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 hex 0A. 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 hex 71)
interrupt handler.
4. This interrupt handler performs an EOI command to the second interrupt controller and passes control
to the IRQ2 (interrupt hex 0A) 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.
Diskette Drives and Controller
The following figures show the reading, writing, and formatting capabilities of each type of diskette drive.

Notes:
1. Do not use either a 250/500 KB or 300/500 KB diskette drive for 5.25-inch diskettes that are designed
for the 1.2MB mode.
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.

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.
Chapter 6. System Compatibility25
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.
Chapter 6. System Compatibility
26Technical Information Manual
Chapter 6. System Compatibility
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.
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).
