Each system incorporates power management features and uses factory installed software to enhance the hardware features. Systems come with the Windows® 95 operating system preinstalled (hot-loaded) on the hard disk.

The following paragraphs give an overview of the desktop and minitower systems. Differences between systems are noted as they occur.

Technical Information 1-3

DESKTOP SYSTEM CHASSIS

The desktop chassis provides an enclosure for the system board, power supply, four expansion slots, a five-connector PCI/ISA backboard, and four storage device slots. The expansion slots include two 8-/16-bit ISA slots, one dedicated 32-bit PCI slot, and one shared PCI/ISA (32-bit PCI or 8-/16-bit ISA) slot.

The four storage device slots accommodate up to three accessible devices and one internal hard disk drive device. The accessible devices include the standard one-inch high 3 1/2-inch

1.44-MB diskette drive and up to two 1.6-inch high 5 1/4-inch storage devices. The nonmultimedia hard disk systems ship with an accessible 3 1/2-inch diskette drive and an internal 3 1/2-inch hard disk drive, leaving two accessible 5 1/4-inch storage device slots available for optional devices. The multimedia systems ship with an accessible 3 1/2-inch diskette drive, an internal 3 1/2-inch hard disk drive, and an accessible 5 1/4-inch CD-ROM reader, leaving one accessible 5 1/4-inch storage device slot available for an optional device.

Figure 1-1 shows front panel features and locations of the accessible storage devices in a desktop system. Multimedia systems come with a CD-ROM reader installed in the top accessible device slot.

Processor

The PowerMate series of computers use the following Pentium processors:

PowerMate P2166M — 166-MHz MMX processor with internal speed of



166 MHz and external speed of 66 MHz. PowerMate P2200M — 200-MHz MMX processor with internal speed of



200 MHz and external speed of 66 MHz.

Each processor has 32 KB of write-back primary cache and a math coprocessor. The 32 KB primary cache provides 16 KB for instructions and 16 KB for data.

The processor is an advanced pipelined 32-bit addressing, 64-bit data processor designed to optimize multitasking operating systems. The 64-bit registers and data paths support 64-bit addresses and data types.

To use the Pentium processor’s power, the system features an optimized 64-bit memory interface and complementary asynchronous pipelined 256-KB secondary cache.

The processor is compatible with 8-, 16-, and 32-bit software written for the Intel386™, Intel486™, and Pentium processors.

To accommodate future technologies and work requirements, the Pentium processor comes in a 320-pin zero insertion force (ZIF) socket. The socket provides an upgrade path to the next generation processor.

Secondary Cache

The system board contains 256 KB of pipeline-burst, external to the processor. Cache allows data to be sent or received from cache with one wait state burst. Cache memory improves read performance by holding copies of code and data that are frequently requested from the system memory by the processor. Cache memory is not considered part of the expansion memory.

Technical Information 1-9

System and Video BIOS

The system and video BIOS are stored in a DMI-compliant, 2 MB (256K x 8) flash memory device (Flash ROM). The system BIOS uses 64 KB and the video BIOS uses 32 KB. The system BIOS is capable of being shadowed and cached through the system’s Setup utility (see Section 2 for Setup information). System BIOS is write protected and automatically enabled.

In addition to the system and video BIOS, the flash device contains the Setup Utility program described in Section 2, Power-On Self-Tests, and Advanced Power Management routines.

The BIOS programs execute the Power-On Self-Test, initialize processor controllers, and interact with the display, diskette drives, hard disks, communication devices, and peripherals. The Setup utility default copies the ROM BIOS into RAM (shadowing) for maximum performance.

The Flash ROM allows the system and video BIOS to be upgraded with the BIOS Update utility, without removing the ROM (see Section 2 for further information on the BIOS Update utility). The Flash ROM supports the reprogramming of the system BIOS and the video BIOS.

The system memory map is provided in Table 1-4.

System Memory

Non-multimedia systems come standard with 16 MB of memory: 640 KB of base memory and 15 MB of extended memory. Most other configurations come with a 2.0-GB hard disk and 16 MB of memory: 640 KB of base memory and 15 MB of extended memory. Multimedia configurations ship with a 3.0-GB hard disk drive and 32 MB of system memory. System memory can be expanded up to 384 MB using optional single in-line memory modules (SIMMs) installed in SIMM sockets on the system board.

Six SIMM sockets are integrated on the system board. Non-multimedia systems ship with two 8-MB SIMMs (16 MB total) installed in two sockets. The 32-MB systems ship with two 16-MB SIMMs installed.

The SIMM memory sockets accept 32-bit (non-parity) or 36-bit (parity) 4-, 8-, 16-, 32- or 64-MB 60 ns Extended Data Output (EDO) or Fast Page Mode (FPM) SIMMs. The SIMMs are 1 MB x 32 bit (4 MB), 2 MB x 32 bit (8 MB), 4 MB x 32 bit (16 MB), 8 MB x 32 bit (32 MB), and 16 MB x 32 bit (64 MB). When the standard SIMMs are removed, six 64-MB SIMMs (FPM only – when available) may be installed for a total of 384 MB.

CAUTION:

SIMMs must match the tin metal plating used on the system board SIMM sockets. When adding SIMMs, use tin-plated SIMMs.

SIMMs install directly in the six sockets on the system board. The six sockets are assigned as SIMM 1 through SIMM 6. Each pair of SIMM sockets are called banks. There are three SIMM banks (labeled bank 0, 1, and 2). Systems ship with the two standard SIMMs installed in SIMM sockets 1 and 2. SIMMs must be installed in pairs of the same memory type. Jumpers are not required to set memory size or type as the system BIOS automatically detects the SIMMs. See Section 3, “Option Installation” for the recommended SIMM memory upgrade paths.

Integrated Graphics

The system has an ATI GT-B PCI 64-bit 3-D multimedia graphics and video controller integrated on the system board. State of the art techniques are used for optimizing performance in computer graphic intensive applications and graphical user interfaces (GUI). Features include:



DDC rev 2b compliance



video acceleration and 3-D rendering



full screen Native video playback



2 MB of synchronous graphics random-access memory (SGRAM).

Technical Information 1-11

Video Memory

PowerMate P MMX systems come with 2 MB of on-board video SGRAM, upgradeable to 4 MB.

The first megabyte of SGRAM is mounted on the system board. Two connectors on the system board accept a 1- or 3-MB video module, providing a total of 2 MB or 4 MB of SGRAM.

NOTE: PowerMate P MMX systems have 1 MB of SGRAM on the system board and a 1 MB video module installed as standard equipment. To upgrade from the standard 2 MB to 4 MB, you must replace the standard 1 MB video module with a 3 MB video upgrade module.

Video Resolutions and Refresh Rates

The computer supports the following video resolutions and refresh rates under Windows 95:

Interrupt Controller

The interrupt controller operates as an interrupt manager for the entire AT system environment. The controller accepts requests from peripherals, issues interrupt requests to the processor, resolves interrupt priorities, and provides vectors for the processor to determine which interrupt routine to execute. The interrupt controller has priority assignment modes that can be reconfigured at any time during system operations.

The interrupt levels are described in Table 1-5. Interrupt-level assignments 0 through 15 are in order of decreasing priority. See Section 2, Setup and Operation, for information on changing the interrupts using Setup.
