in front of and behind the base unit.

u

Do not operate the base unit on its side.

u

Do not expose the system to high levels of dust, smoke, or moisture.

u

The location should maintain a temperature range of 10 °C to 26 °C (50 °F to 80 °F); the

optimum operating temperature is 21 °C (70 °F).

u

The location should maintain a humidity range from 20 percent to 80 percent non-

condensing; the optimum humidity level is 50 percent.

Connecting Peripheral Cables

Connect cables to the ports on the back of the base unit, as follows:

u

Mouse cable to mouse port (PS/2 type)

u

Keyboard cable to keyboard port (PS/2 type)

u

Video cable from monitor to video port

u

Network cable to network port (on the optional network adapter)

Configuring the BIOS

Your system’s Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) records basic system operating parameters,
such as the boot sequence, hard drive settings, and the type of video display. The system’s
operating parameters are set in the BIOS before shipment, and you should not need to change
them immediately. However, you may want to configure some aspects of system operation
later by changing BIOS settings.

The BIOS is stored in fresh Erasable-Programmable Memory (EEPROM) on the system
board, and reads the system parameters in the system’s Complementary Metal-Oxide
Semiconductor (CMOS) Random-Access Memory (RAM). When you turn off power to the
system, a battery provides power to CMOS RAM, which retains the system parameters. Each
time you turn on system power, the BIOS uses the stored parameters to configure the system.

Updating an Emergency Repair Disk or a Startup Diskette

You may have created an Emergency Repair Disk (Windows NT) or a Startup diskette
(Windows 95) during first-time startup, or through InterSite Welcome. I f you did not, you
should create the appropriate diskette after you finish configuring the system. If you did, you
should update it any time you change the configuration of the system. The files on the
Windows NT Emergency Repair Disk can restore the original contents of a damaged
operating system Registry (that is, at the time the operating system was installed), along with
the standard operating system drivers. Use the Startup diskette to start the system in the event
you have trouble starting W i ndows 95.

See the operating system documentation for information on creating an Emergency Repair
Disk or a Startup diskette.

32

Ensuring PC Card Support and Operation

The optional PC Card adapter is used with devices based on standards developed by the
Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA). Windows NT and
Windows 95 provide support for PC Card devices.

NOTE PC Card support on TD-100, TD-100PII, and TD-250 systems includes CardWizard for

Windows NT. For more information, see the vendor documentation accompanying the
software.

If you will be using a PC Card hard disk device (ATA or AT type) with a system running
Windows NT, make sure the device drivers that control PC Card hard disk operation are set to
start correctly. Set both the Atdisk device and the Pcmcia device to start as System devices.
Do this before inserting a PC Card hard disk device in the PC Card adap ter. If you do not,
anomalous behavior may result -- for example, the PC Card hard disk drive may not be
detected by Windows NT, or may be detected as the system drive (drive C).

NOTE You must shut down the system before inserting a PC Card device in the PC Card adapter.

When you restart the system, Windows NT will recognize the PC Card device.

To change the startup type for device drivers that control PC Card hard disks:

1. Open Devices in the Windows NT Control Panel. The Devices dialog displays.

2. Highlight the device in the Device list; then select Startup. The Device dialog displays.

3. Under Startup Type, select system; then select OK.

4. In the Devices dialog, select Close.

See the operating system documentation and Help for more information on PC Card device
support.

Adding External Peripheral Devi ces

You can add external peripheral devices to the system in several ways:

u

Connect a modem, printer, or other serial (RS-232 compatible) device to a serial port.

Two serial ports are provided. Use cables with 9-pin DB9 connectors. For a cable with a
25-pin DB25 connector, use a 9-pin to 25-pin adapter.

u

Connect a printer or another parallel (Centronics compatible) device to the parallel port.

Use a cable with 25-pin DB25 connectors.

u

Connect a Universal Serial Bus (USB) device to a USB p ort (only on a system running

Windows 95; Windows NT 4.0 does not currently support USB peripherals). Two USB
ports are provided.

u

On a system equipped with a Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) adapter, connect

SCSI devices to the SCSI port on the adapter. See the documentation delivered with the
SCSI adapter for more information.

u

On a system equipped with a PC Card adapter, insert one or more PC Card devices in the

optional PC Card adapter. You can insert two Type I, Type II, and Type III PC Card
devices in the adapter. Use only Exchangeable Architecture (ExCA) PC Card devices.

See Chapter 4, “Operating Notes,” and the documentation delivered with the PC Card
adapter for more information.

See Chapter 1, “Setting Up the Hardware,” to locate ports on the back of the base unit.

All ports and cables are keyed or molded to make connecting the cables easy. If you
encounter difficulty connecting a cable, ensure that you are aligning the cable connector
correctly with the port.

CAUTION If you do not use Intergraph cables, use shielded cables to prevent excessive electromagnetic

interference (EMI). Intergraph cables are designed to reduce the amount of EMI produced by
the system.

Opening the Base Unit

To gain access to the system’s internal components, you must remove the side panel. You
may also have to remove the front panel to gain access to some components, such as front­accessible peripheral devices.

CAUTION While the base unit is open, follow the guidelines in “Taking Antistatic Precautions.”

T aking A ntist atic Precautions

Static electricity can damage the components on an expansion card or the components inside
the base unit. To avoid building up a static charge, do the following:

u

Turn off the power to all devices.

u

To maintain grounding, do not unplug the power cord from the base unit or AC outlet.

u

Touch the bare metal of the base unit chassis to discharge any static electricity.

u

Wear a grounding wrist strap. Ensure the strap is properly connected to the system and to

your wrist.

u

Do not wear wool or polyester clothing.

u

Avoid rugs, carpets, and similar surfaces, since they can give you a static charge as you

move on them. Work on a static-safe surface instead.

u

Work in an area with a relative humidity of at least 50 percent.

u

Handle expansion cards as little as possible and by the edges only. Never grab it as you

would a book.

u

Leave new parts in their protective packaging until you install them.

Adding Expansion Cards

You can add Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI), Plug-n-Play (PnP), and Industry

Standard Architecture (ISA) expansion cards by installing them in the system’s expansion
slots. The following illustrations show the location of the expansion slots on the system
board. Install PnP cards in any expansion slot. The lowest PCI slot and the highest ISA slot
are shared; you can install an expansion card into one or the other, but not both.

NOTE: Plug and Play (PnP) support is not currently available in W i ndows NT.

2. Remove the screw securing the blanking plate of an empty expansion slot, and remove the

blanking plate.

3. Insert the expansion card into the expansion slot, using firm and steady pressure.

CAUTION Do not rock or tilt the expansion card. Doing so might damage the card, the slot, or both.

5. Secure the expansion card to the chassis using the screw removed previously.

For more information on installing expansion cards, see Chapter 8, “System Board Overview,”
Chapter 9, “System Board Upgrades,” and the documentation delivered with the expansion
card.

Configuring Expansion Cards

PCI and PnP cards contain configuration registers that define the card to the system
automatically during startup. Older, non-PnP ISA expansion cards do not use configuration
registers, and require configuration before they can be installed. On a system running
Windows 95, the Device Manager handles this. On a system running Windows NT
Workstation 4.0, this may be handled by running a configuration program provided with an
ISA card by its vendor.

NOTE The system’s BIOS contains a built-in configuration menu, so no separate ISA Configuration

Utility (ICU is needed.

Adding System Memory

You can add system memory to the computer by adding or replacing Dual Inline Memory
Modules (DIMMs) on the system board. The system board supports the following memory
module sizes, according to system type:

49

Memory Size

DIMM Configuration (non-parity)

16 MB 2 x 64
32 MB 4 x 64
64 MB 8 x 64

When adding or replacing DIMMs:

u

Use 168-pin, 64-bit, 12 ns, unbuffered, double-sided DIMMs with gold-plated contacts.

u

You can add DIMMs one at a time.

u

After adding or replacing DIMMs, restart the computer. The new memory configuration

is detected automatically.

NOTE System memory modules available from Intergraph have been certified for use with Intergraph

computers at extremes of temperature and system load to ensure reliable performance.
System memory modules available from other vendors may function improperly or unreliably
in your Intergraph computer.

The following are common memory configurations:

To replace system memory:

1. Ensure the pins on the DIMMs match the socket keying.

2. Align pin 1 on the memory module with pin 1 of the socket.

3. Insert the DIMM into the socket at a 90-degree angle. Use even pressure across the top

of the module; then push the module upright until it locks in place.

CAUTION Do not use a rocking motion as you install the memory module. Doing so might damage the

module, the socket, or both.

For more information on system memory, see Chapter 8, “System Board Overview,” and
Chapter 9, “System Board Upgrades.”

Adding Internal Peripheral Devi ces

You can add internal SCSI, IDE, or EIDE peripheral devices by installing them in any
available peripheral bays.

The mini-tower system has the following available peripheral bays:

u

Two 5.25-inch x 1.6-inch external-access peripheral bays for devices accessible from

outside the system. The system’s CD-ROM drive occupies one of these bays.

u

One 3.5-inch x 1.0-inch external-access peripheral bay that contains the system’s floppy

disk drive.

u

Two 3.5-inch x 1.0-inch internal peripheral bays for devices not accessible from outside

the system, such as hard disk drives. These bays can support two 1.0-inch high devices.

NOTE The system’s CD-ROM drive is connected to the secondary IDE bus, and is set to be the

master device on that bus. If your system has two internal 3.5-inch IDE or EIDE devices (such
as hard disk drives) installed, and you install a third such device, you must reset the CD-ROM
drive to be the slave device on the secondary IDE bus. For CD-ROM jumper settings, see the
information provided on the CD-ROM drive.

The following illustrations show the location on the system board of the IDE bus connectors
and the power connectors to which you can connect internal peripheral devices.

Opening the Upper 5.25-Inch Peripheral Bay

Unless you purchased your system with two 5.25-inch peripheral devices installed, a plastic
faceplate and a metal blank cover the upper 5.25-inch external-access peripheral bay. Before
you install a second 5.25-inch device, you must remove the plastic faceplate and the metal
blank.

To remove the plastic face plate and the metal blank from the peripheral bay:

1. Remove the front panel as described previously in “Opening the Base Unit.”

2. Press the tabs of the metal blank toward inward, and remove the metal blank.

3. Remove the snap-off plastic faceplate by pulling firmly but gently at its center.

Removing or Replacing Internal 3. 5-Inch Devices

Internal 3.5-inch devices install into the removable drive-mounting bracket, which mounts to
the front of the chassis below the floppy disk drive bay.

To remove or replace internal 3.5-inch devices:

1. Disconnect the data and power cables from any devices already installed in the removable

drive-mounting bracket.

2. Remove the screw securing the drive-mounting bracket to the chassis, and remove the

bracket from the chassis.

3. Remove the four screws securing the devices to the drive-mounting bracket, and remove

the devices.

4. Install the new or additional devices to the drive-mounting bracket.

5. Install the drive-mounting bracket to the chassis. Ensure the lip on the far side of the

bracket engages the appropriate slots in the chassis.

6. Connect the data and power cables to the devices, as appropriate.

For more information on installing an internal peripheral device, see the documentation
delivered with the peripheral device, the information posted on the device, Chapter 8, “System
Board Overview,” Chapter 9, “System Board Upgrades,” and Chapter 10, “BIOS Setup.”

7 Using System Resources

This chapter provides information on using system resources, such as interrupt requests
(IRQs) and basic input/output system (BIOS) parameter settings, to configure the system to
use expansion cards. The chapter covers specific Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI)
and Industry Standard Architecture (ISA) devices offered by Intergraph Computer Systems as
system options. Intergraph Computer Systems has determined that the devices discussed in
this chapter require specific resource settings to ensure proper system operation.

Using System Resources

Most ISA devices installed in the system require you to reserve an IRQ. PCI devices also
need to use an IRQ, but since they share system resources they can use the same IRQ. At least
one IRQ must be left unassigned, for use with any PCI devices installed in your system.

To reserve an IRQ for an installed device:

1. Restart the system and start the BIOS Setup program.

2. On the Advanced/PCI Configuration screen, select the IRQ you want to reserve.

3. Change the setting for the selected IRQ to Reserved.

4. Save the changes and exit from the BIOS Setup program.

The system has a limited number of open IRQ s. To install more ISA devices than you have
open IRQs, you must disable one unused system port for each excess ISA device, unless the
device does not require an IRQ.

56

To disable an unused system port:

1. Restart the system and start the BIOS Setup program.

2. On the Advanced/Peripheral Configuration screen, select the port you want to disable.

3. Change the value of the setting to Disabled.

4. Save the changes and exit from the BIOS Setup program.

The following expansion cards require specific system resource settings, as noted:

Expansion card

Resources required BIOS parameter settings

First modem (Windows NT) COM3, IRQ 4 Disable serial port 1 (COM1)
Second modem (Windows NT) COM2, IRQ 3 Disable serial port 2 (COM2)
First parallel printer adapter Base addr ess 278 None
Second parallel printer adapter Base address 3BC None

On a system running Windows 95, ensure the following system resources are set as noted:
