Technical Information Manual

The manual, which is intended for developers who want to provide hardware and software products to operate with these computers, provides in-depth information on how the computers work. Users of this publication should have an understanding of computer architecture and programming concepts.

Manual Style

Because the PC 300PL (Type 6562) and (Type 6592) are similar, they will be referred to collectively as

PC 300PL computers

computer types must be described. In this manual, the use of the letter “h” 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 (2 (230).

throughout this manual, except in cases where differences between the two

), 1 MB equals 1 048576 bytes (220), and 1 GB equals 1073741824 bytes

provides information on the IBM PC 300PL (Types 6562 and 6592).

When expressing storage capacity, MB equals 1000 KB (1024000). The value is determined by counting the number of sectors and assuming that every two sectors equals 1 KB. Depending on the operating system and other system requirements, the storage capacity available to the user might vary.

Warning: 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.

Some signals are abbreviated. A minus sign in front of a signal indicates that the signal is active low. No sign in front of a signal indicates that the signal is active high.

reserved

describes certain signals, bits, and registers that should not be changed.

PCI-to-ISA Bridge

The PIIX3 chipset module provides the bridge between the peripheral component interconnect (PCI) and industry standard architecture (ISA) buses. The chip is used to convert PCI bus cycles to ISA bus cycles.

The PCI bus is compliant with host bus and is driven at a frequency of 33 MHz (half the speed of the 66 MHz microprocessor bus). The ISA bus is permanently set to the PCI bus speed divided by four.

The PCI bus shares interrupts with the ISA bus. Free interrupts are automatically assigned to PCI devices during POST. If no interrupts are available for the PCI devices, an 18XX POST error message is generated.

For information on PCI and ISA bus expansion connectors, see “Riser Card” on page 20.

IDE Bus Master Interface

The system board incorporates a PCI-to-IDE interface that complies with the

Extensions

. The Intel PIIX3 chipset module contains the controller for the PCI Bus Master IDE interface.

AT Attachment Interface with

The PIIX3 module allows concurrent operations on the PCI and IDE buses. (Refer to “Chip Set Control” on page 6 for further information on the PIIX3 module.)

The primary and secondary IDE busses are routed to two connectors on the riser card. A total of four IDE devices can be attached to the two IDE riser card connectors using ribbon cables. Note that a total of three IDE devices can be attached to the riser card connectors in the PC 300PL (Type 6562) due to bay limitations. The IDE devices receive their power through separate, four-position power cables containing +5 V, +12 V, and ground (GND) voltage.

On each IDE connector, one IDE device is designated as the primary (master) device, and the other device is designated as the secondary (subordinate) device. These designations are determined by switch or jumper settings on each IDE device. A functional primary device must be present on each IDE connector for a secondary device to be recognized on that same IDE connector. Care must be taken to ensure that the jumpers on the IDE devices installed in the system correctly identify them as either primary or secondary devices. Otherwise, some of the devices might not be recognized by the system. There is no performance impact between a primary device and a secondary device of the same type on the same IDE connector.

A bootable IDE hard disk drive can be installed on either IDE connector. A bootable hard disk is one which has an active partition with an operating system installed on it.

PCI or ISA IDE expansion adapters are not supported. For a list of devices that can be installed in PC 300PL computers, refer to “Internal Drives” on page 26. The following table shows the typical system resource assignments for the IDE interface.

Serial Ports

The serial port subsystem consists of two universal asynchronous receiver/transmitters (UARTs) that are PC16550A- and NS16450-compatible. The serial ports include a 16-byte data first-in first-out (FIFO) buffer and have programmable baud rate generators. The UARTs function independently of one another, and both can be used in normal mode, which is inclusive of modem control circuitry. UART2 can be used as an infrared serial interface. UART2 function is determined at boot time via the Configuration/Setup Utility program and can only be altered by changing setup and rebooting the computer. If UART2 is set to the infrared function, serial port 2 will be disabled.

Chapter 2. System Board Features

Infrared Port

An optional infrared port can be added to PC 300PL computers. To do this, an internal cable/connector assembly must be attached to the infrared header provided on the system board. This assembly provides a female, 9-pin, D-shell connector to be located in the knockout area at the rear of the computer. An infrared module (which contains the infrared optics) attaches to the female connector via a shielded cable with a standard 9-pin, male, D-shell connector. The internal cable/connector assembly and the infrared module/shielded cable do not come standard with PC 300PL computers. They can be purchased from IBM or an IBM reseller as a single option package (referred to as the 4.0 MBit IR Transceiver Option).

Once the infrared option is installed, the infrared function must be enabled by configuring UART2 to

infrared mode, rather than normal mode. (Note that UART2 can be used as either an infrared port second serial port; it cannot be used for both purposes.) The infrared port uses any of the same four system resource assignments as the serial port.

The software required for infrared communication is available on the

Ready-to-Configure CD

that comes

with PC 300PL computers. Note: For Windows 95, an infrared device driver must be installed. The device driver can be

downloaded from the Microsoft Windows 95 Updates World Wide Web site.

The infrared module is capable of establishing a link of up to one meter (3.3 ft.) at a rate of 115 kilobits-per-second (Kbps). The infrared interface complies with HP-SIR, SHARP-IR and IrDA-2.

For information on connector pin assignments for the infrared port, refer to “Infrared Port Connector (Optional)” on page 47.

Keyboard and Mouse Ports

The keyboard-and-mouse subsystem is controlled by a general purpose, 8-bit microcontroller. 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 (IRQ1). The keyboard can operate without a companion mouse, but the mouse can only operate with its companion keyboard. The mouse has a fixed IRQ line (IRQ12), but it does not have its own I/O address; it relies on the addresses used by the keyboard.

The following table shows the typical system resource assignments for the keyboard and mouse.

General-Purpose I/O Ports

The National Semiconductor PC87307 chip on the system board has up to 16 general-purpose input/output (GPIO) pins which are supported by 2 GPIO ports. The port pins are used for specific functions and are not configurable by the user.

The GPIO ports use I/O addresses 0078-007F. Each GPIO port occupies a 4-byte I/O address.

Real-Time Clock

The low-power, real-time clock provides a time-of-day clock and a calendar. The clock is accurate to +/− 12 minutes per year. The clock settings are maintained by an external battery source at +2.4 volts. The life expectancy of the battery is approximately 2.25 years.

An external crystal is used to drive the real-time clock, and the battery is used to maintain the state of the CMOS RAM when the power to the computer is turned off. (The system has 242 bytes of battery-backed CMOS RAM in two banks.) If the CMOS RAM becomes corrupted and the system will not boot, a jumper is included on the system board to clear CMOS RAM so that POST can set CMOS RAM to factory default values.

The following table shows the typical system resource assignments for the real-time clock.

Video Upgrade Options

The Matrox MGA-1164SG 3D video subsystem provides support for several types of upgrade options. These options are standard Matrox upgrades that can be purchased directly from Matrox Graphics Inc. Descriptions of the upgrades follow.

Note: The Matrox MGA-1164SG 3D video subsystem supports a maximum of one Matrox upgrade

module. This means that a memory upgrade module cannot be used in conjunction with a multimedia upgrade module.

Memory Upgrade

PC 300PL computers come standard with 2 MB (2 chips) of video memory. A memory upgrade that provides an additional 2 MB of SGRAM memory can be purchased from Matrox. The upgrade provides more flexibility in terms of resolution and 3D support.

The memory upgrade is a daughtercard that plugs into two parallel, 70-pin connectors on the system board. The system board connectors provide all of the control, address, data, and power signals required by the upgrade daughtercard. The connectors incorporate keying and protection features.

Multimedia Upgrade

The other supported upgrades are the Matrox Rainbow Runner Studio multimedia upgrade modules. These upgrades are available in several configurations. Refer to

Using Your PC 300PL (Type 6592)

Rainbow Runner Studio upgrade modules plug into the Matrox Rainbow Runner Studio system board connectors. An optional cable and connector (containing audio/video inputs for Rainbow Runner Studio) is cabled from the Rainbow Runner Studio upgrade module to the knockout area at the rear of the computer.

and

Video Adapters

The video subsystem supports video adapters that are installed in either a PCI or an ISA expansion slot. No jumpers need to be changed when an upgrade video adapter is installed, because the system BIOS automatically detects that the adapter has been added. If an ISA or PCI adapter is detected by the system BIOS, the adapter video is enabled, and the system board video is disabled. If no ISA or PCI video adapters are found, the system board video is then enabled.

Special Function Video Adapters

The system board has a VGA VESA feature connector that supports special function video adapters, such as the ReelMagic TV tuner and MPEG decoder adapters.

Chapter 2. System Board Features

Ethernet

The system board of PC 300PL computers contains an Intel 82557 10/100 Mbit Ethernet controller that provides a high-performance network connection. The Ethernet controller, which is a Plug and Play device and a PCI 2.1 Bus Master, features the following:

 IEEE 802.3 compliance, 10 and 100 Mbps  Support for 100BaseTx and 10BaseT with PCI bus interface  Viewable media access control (MAC) address  Single RJ-45 port  3 Kbyte transmit FIFO and 3 Kbyte receive FIFO

 Auto-negotiation

 Full duplex capability  Full NOS support

The Ethernet controller interfaces directly with the ICS 1890 Tx physical layer on the system board, which contains all of the analog transmit and receive circuits.

The system board also includes a discrete Wake on LAN controller (MagPack). This controller can be disabled in the Configuration/Setup Utility program.

A switch is provided on the system board for disconnecting the Ethernet subsystem from AUX5 power. This disconnection is required if a Wake on LAN adapter is installed. (The power supply does not provide enough AUX5 current to power both the system board Ethernet and a Wake on LAN adapter simultaneously.)

Note: For compliance with FCC Class B radiation limits, all Ethernet cabling attached to PC 300PL

computers must be Class 5, regardless of the speed (10 Mbit or 100 Mbit).

The following table shows the system resource assignments for the Ethernet controller.

Chapter 2. System Board Features

System Management Controller

The system board contains a National System Management chip (LM78) that monitors the computer at all times looking for potential hardware failures. The LM78 is programmed with predetermined threshold values for the following:

 System temperature  Fan speed

 Power supply voltages (+5, +12, −12, +3.52, Vcore)  Intrusion detect for security (detects when chassis lid has been removed, even if power is off)

During system operation, Desktop Management Interface (DMI) code polls the LM78 chip and generates an alert if the measured value is outside of the programmed minimum and maximum range. The alert can be provided to a network administrator across a LAN.

Note: DMI is software used to gather information about the hardware and software in a computer. It

allows network administrators to remotely monitor and control the computer. DMI can be used to remotely track many types of information about networked PCs. This information can be accessed using a DMI browser. DMI browsers are provided by all major operating system and all major LAN management packages.

The following table shows the typical system resource assignments for the system management controller.

Figure 2. Riser Card for PC 300PL (Type 6592)

The riser card plugs into the system board via a 340-pin connector. Adapters plug into the ISA- or PCI-expansion connectors (slots) 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, and each PCI-expansion connector provides a 32-bit-wide data path.

The following table shows the number of ISA, PCI, and shared ISA/PCI expansion slots provided with each type of PC 300PL computer. Shared slots will accommodate either an ISA adapter installed in the

20 Technical Information Manual

Chapter 2. System Board Features

ISA connector, or a PCI adapter installed into the PCI connector. Shared slots cannot accommodate ISA and PCI adapters at the same time.

Table 11. Riser Card Expansion Characteristics

Expansion Slot Type Type 6562 Type 6592

Shared ISA/PCI 1 0 Dedicated ISA 1 3 Dedicated PCI 2 3

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. Free interrupts are automatically assigned to PCI devices during POST. If no interrupts are available for the PCI devices, an 18xx POST error message is generated.

For information on connector pin assignments, see “ISA Bus Connectors” on page 37 and “PCI Bus Connectors” on page 39.

Chapter 2. System Board Features

System Board Switches

Switches are provided on the system board to allow for custom configuration. The switches, which are contained in an eight-position switch block on the system board, are rocker switches. The side of the rocker that is pushed down is the active side.

Switches 1 through 4 determine the speed of the microprocessor (CPU) and local processor bus. Switch settings for the Intel microprocessors supported by PC 300PL computers are shown in the following table. Note that the two speeds shown for each microprocessor are the microprocessor core speed followed by the local processor bus speed (for example, 166/66 MHz).

Table 12. Microprocessor Speed (Switches 1-4)

166/66 MHz On On On Off 200/66 MHz Off On On Off 233/66 MHz Off Off On Off

PC 300PL computers are designed to support other microprocessors. Switches 1 and 2 determine the local processor bus/microprocessor core ratio. (For instance, 166/66 is a 2/5 ratio.) Switches 3 and 4 control the local processor bus speed. (For instance, the 166/66 has a 66 MHz local processor bus speed.)

Note: Only the switch values shown in the preceding table are supported. Using unsupported switch

settings will cause unpredictable results.

Physical Layout

PC 300PL computers incorporate a new system board and riser card design. There are no cables on the system board; all cables are on the riser card. The system board is on a sliding mechanism so that the board can be moved in and out of the computer without removing any cables. The new design eliminates cable clutter on the system board, allows for shorter cable lengths, simplifies peripheral upgrades, and provides better cooling for system components.

The system board has gold-edge tabs that contain all signals to the riser card. The gold-edge tabs insert into a 340-pin connector on the riser card.

The following is an illustration of the PC 300PL system board. Note that, in various PC 300PL computers, the system board might look slightly different from the one shown here. A diagram of the system board, including switch and jumper settings, is attached to the underside of the top cover of the computer.

Chapter 3. Adapters and Internal Drives

This chapter provides information on adapters and internal drives supported by PC 300PL computers.

Adapters

This section provides information on the adapters preinstalled in some PC 300PL computers, as well as cabling requirements for Wake on LAN adapters.

Note: PC 300PL computers do not support IDE expansion adapters or the IBM PCMCIA adapter for PCI.

SCSI Adapter

Some PC 300PL computers come with an Adaptec SCSI-II Ultra Wide adapter installed in one of the expansion slots. This adapter provides an interface between the PCI bus and SCSI devices. SCSI technology is useful with multitasking operating environments because instructions can be sent concurrently to every drive in the system, and the drives can then execute these instructions simultaneously.

An extra cable is provided with SCSI models. The cable included with the PC 300PL (Type 6562) has four connectors: one connector for attaching the cable to the SCSI adapter and three connectors for attaching optional SCSI devices. The cable included with the PC 300PL (Type 6592) has five connectors: one connector for attaching the cable to the SCSI adapter and four connectors for attaching optional SCSI devices.

For information on the adapter and connecting SCSI devices, refer to the SCSI documentation that comes with PC 300PL computers.

Cabling Requirements for Wake on LAN Adapters

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 (or riser card). PC 300PL computers have a 3-pin header on the riser card that provides the AUX5 and wakeup signal connections. The Wake on LAN adapter option will provide a Y-cable that has the 3-pin riser card connector on one end and splits into the 3-pin and 2-pin connectors required to interface the card. When a Wake on LAN adapter is installed in the system and attached to the AUX5 power, the system board Ethernet function must be disabled via switch 6 on the system board (refer to “System Board Switches” on page 22 for switch information).

Chapter 4. Power Supply

Power requirements are supplied by a 145-watt power supply in the PC 300PL (Type 6562), and a 200-watt supply in the PC 300PL (Type 6592). The power supply provides 3.52-volt power for the Pentium microprocessor and core chip sets, as well as 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 the system board Ethernet function, or a Wake on LAN adapter.

The power supply, which has EnergyStar and Extended LAN Wakeup features, converts ac input voltages into dc output voltages. The power supply operates at either 115 V ac or 230 V ac. The voltage setting is manually selected with a switch on the rear of the computer.

The power supply provides power for the following components:  System board

 ISA and PCI 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 riser card with a 2 x 10 connector.

Chapter 4. Power Supply

Output Protection

The power supply protects against output overcurrent, overvoltage, and short circuits. 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 ac input voltage has been turned off for at least five seconds.

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.

Power Connectors

The power supply connects to the riser card via a single 2 x 10 connector. The power supply provides 4-pin connectors for attaching internal devices. The PC 300PL (Type 6562)

has three DASD connectors, and the PC 300PL (Type 6592) has one diskette and four DASD connectors. The following tables list the pin assignments for these connectors.

Note: The total power used by the any of following connectors must not exceed the amount shown in

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.

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 other 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.

Chapter 6. System Compatibility 35

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).
