Wake on LAN
Wake on Ring
ADSL modems, available on some models, enable simultaneous internet connectivity
and telephone service. Contact your local telephone service provider and ask if your
premises need any additional telephony equipment, such as a splitter or a filter. Also
contact your Internet service provider (ISP) to determine if they provide service to
customers with ADSL.
ADSL modems work by using separately the individual four or six wires in the
standard RJ-11 telephone jack. The inner wires, or pairs of wires if there are six, carry
voice transmissions. The outer wires on either side carry data between your computer
and the Internet. One channel is data download; the other is data upload.
The power supply of the computer supports the Wake on LAN feature. W ith the Wake
on LAN feature, the computer can be turned on when a specific LAN frame is passed
to the computer over the LAN.
T o find out if the W a ke on LAN feature is set, refer to the menu item for Wake on LAN
in the Configuration/Setup Utility program. See the User Guide for help with using
the Configuration/Setup Utili ty program.
All models can be configured to turn on the computer after a ring is detected from an
external or internal modem. Use the menu for setting the Wake on Ring feature in the
Configuration/Setup Utility Program. See the User Guide for help with u sing the
Configuration/Setup Utility program. Two options control this feature:

IDE bus master interface
The system board incorporates a PCI-to-IDE interface that complies with the AT
Attachment Interface with Extensions.
The bus master for the IDE interface is integrated into the I/O hub of the SIS630 chip
set. The chip set is PCI 2.2 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 ID E DMA mode 0–3 devices. Ultra
DMA 66 transfers up to 66 Mbps using an ATA 66 cable.
The IDE devices receive their power through a four-position power cable containing
+5 V dc, +12 V dc, and ground voltage. As devices are added to the IDE interface,
designate one device as the master, or primary, device and another 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 determined by available space on the system board.
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 34 and “Appendix C. IRQ and DMA
channel assignments,” on page 39.
For information on the connector pin assignments, see “IDE connectors” on page 28.
USB interface
Universal Serial Bus (USB) technology is a standard feature of your personal
computer. The system board provides the USB interface with two connectors
integrated into the chip set. A USB-enabled device can attach to a connector and, if
that device is a hub, multiple peripheral devices 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 MBps with a maximum of 127 peripheral devices.
The USB is compliant with Universal Host Controller Interface Guide 1.0.

or stereo.
Integrated peripheral controller
Control of the integrated input/output (I/O) and diskette drive controllers is
provided by a single module, the integrated peripheral controller (SMC FDC 87B813).
This module, which supports Plug and Play technology, controls the following
features:
•Diskette drive interface
•Keyboard and mouse ports
Keyboard and mouse ports
A general purpose 8-bit microcontroller, 8042AH compatible, controls the mouse and
keyboard subsystem. 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, a fixed IRQ line, and
can operate without the mouse. The mouse cannot operate without the keyboard
6 Technical Information
Page 15
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
34 and “Appendix C. IRQ and DMA channel assignments,” on page 39.
The system board has PS/2 type connectors for a keyboard and mouse. For
information on the connector pin ass ignments, see “Mouse and keyboard port
connectors” on page 32.
Network connection
Your computer is equipped with an Ethernet controller that supports the Wake on
LAN feature.
Features of the optional Wake on LAN Ethernet adapter are:
•Operates in shared 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX environment
•Transmits and receives data at 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps
•Has an RJ-45 connector for LAN attachment
•Operates on symmetrical multiprocessing (SMP) environments
•Supports Wake on LAN
The computer has a 3-pin header on the system board that provides the AUX5
(auxiliary 5 volts) and wake-up signa l connections.
Real-time clock and CMOS
The real-time clock is low-power and provides a time-of-day clock and a calendar . An
external battery source of 3 V dc maintains the settings.
The system uses 242 bytes of compl ementary metal-oxide semiconductor ( C MOS)
memory to store data. To erase or reset CMOS memory to the default, use the small
rocker switch on the system board.
Note:Refer to the instructions in the Hardware Maintenance Manual before
attempting to reset CMOS.
To locate the battery see “System board” on page 8.
Flash EEPROM
The system board uses two megabits (Mb) of flash electrically erasable
programmable, read-only memory (EEPROM) to store the basic input/output system
(BIOS), IBM logo, Configuration/Setup Ut ility, and Plug and Play data.
If necessary, you can update the EEPR OM by downloading a stand-alone utility
program available from the IBM Web site: http://www.ibm.com/pc.
Expansion adapters
Each PCI-expansion connector is a 32-bit slot. PCI-expansion connectors support the
32-bit, 5 V dc, local-bus signalling environment defined in PCI Local Bus Specification
2.2.
Your computer has two PCI slots to support the addition of adapters. For information
on installing adapters, see the User Guide.

Output protection
The power supply protects against output overcurrent, overvoltage, and short
circuits. See the power supply specifications on the previous pages for details.
A short circuit that is placed on any dc output (between outputs or between an output
and a 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 two seconds.

however , the power supply will shut down if the total power used exceeds
the maximum power that is available.
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 power supply
value.
Connector description
The power supply for your computer has four, 4- pin connectors for internal devices.
The total power used by the connectors must not exceed the amount shown in

the on-board system devices and controllers.
POST error codes include text messages for determining the cause of an error. For
more information, see “Appendix D. Error codes,” on page 41 and your User Guide.
Configuration/Setup Utility program
The Configuration/Setup Utility program provides menu ch oices f or de vices, I/O
ports, date and time, system security, start options, advanced setup, and power
management.
More detailed information on using the Configuration/Setup Utility program is in the
PC 300GL and PC 300PL User Guide.
Advanced Power Management (APM)
Y ou r comput er has bu ilt-in ener gy-sa ving ca pabili ties. Advanc ed Power Ma nageme nt
(APM) is a feature that reduces the power consumption of components when they are
not in use. When enabled, APM initiates reduced-power modes for the monitor,
microprocessor, and hard disk drive after a specif ied period of inactivity.
The BIOS supports APM 1.2. This enables the system to enter a power-management
state, reducing the power drawn from the AC electrical 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 the User Guide.
Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI)
Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) BIOS mode enables the
operating system to control the power-management features of your computer. 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 and the machine readable information
(MRI) to different languages.
The latest version of the flash update utility program is available on the IBM Web site
at http://www.ibm.com/pc/support and can be copied to a 3.5-inch diskette.
Diagnostic program
The diagnostic program that comes with your computer is provided as a startable
IBM Enhanced Diagnostic diskette image on the IBM Product Recovery CD. It runs
independently of the operating system. The user interface is WaterGate Software PCDoctor. The diagnostic program can also be downloaded from
http://www.ibm.com/pc/support/ on the World Wide Web. For more info rmatio n
on the diagnostic program, see the User Guide.

Chapter 6. System compatibility
This chapter discusses some of the hardware, software, and BIOS compatibility issues
for the computer. See the Compatib ility Report under, “Related publications” on page
vii for a list of compatible hardware and software options.
Hardware compatibil ity
This section discusses hardware, software, and BIOS compatibility that must be
considered when designing application programs.
The functional interfaces are compatible with the following interfaces:
•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 address hex 0060 and hex 0064
•All video standards using VGA, EGA, CGA, MDA, and Hercules modes
Use this information to develop application programs. Whenever possible, use the
BIOS as an interface to hardware to provide maximum compatibi lity and portability
of applications among systems.
Hardware interrupts
Hardware interrupts are level-sensitive for PCI interrupts. The interrupt controller
clears its in-service register bit when the interrupt routine sends and End-of-Interrupt
(EOI) command to th e cont roller. Th e EOI com man d is s e nt 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, de signers might want to limit
the number of devices sharing an interrupt level.
With level-sensitive interrupts, the interrupt control ler 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 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.
Software compatibility
To maintain software compatibility, the interrupt polling mech anism 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 the function value
is not in the range of function calls, that routine 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
initiate 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).
