Processor
The PowerMate V series of computers use the following Pentium processors:
PowerMate V75 — 75-MHz processor with internal speed of 75 MHz and
external speed of 50 MHz.
PowerMate V90 — 90-MHz processor with internal speed of 90 MHz and
external speed of 60 MHz
1-8 Technical Information
PowerMate V100 — 100-MHz processor with internal speed of 100 MHz and
external speed of 66 MHz.
PowerMate V133 — 133-MHz processor with internal speed of 133 MHz and
external speed of 66 MHz.
Each processor has 16 KB of write-back primary cache and a math coprocessor. The 16 KB
primary cache provides 8 KB for instructions and 8 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 secondary cache, external to the processor. The first
release shipped uses 15-ns asynchronous SRAM (PowerMate V90 and V100) or 20-ns
asynchronous SRAM (PowerMate V75) cache. The second release of the PowerMate V
series ships with 15-ns synchronous pipe line burst cache.
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.
System and Video BIOS
The system and video BIOS are stored in a 1 MB (128 KB by 8) flash memory device
(Flash ROM). The system BIOS uses 64 KB, the video BIOS uses 32 KB, and 32 KB is
reserved. 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.
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 system BIOS also contains the Setup utility. The hardware setup default
copies the ROM BIOS into RAM (shadowing) for maximum performance.
Technical Information 1-9
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 8 MB of memory: 640 KB of base memory
and 7 MB of extended memory. All multimedia, 1.2 GB, and 1.6 GB hard disk
configurations come standard with 16 MB of memory: 640 KB of base memory and 15 MB
of extended memory. System memory can be expanded up to 128 MB, using optional single
in-line memory modules (SIMMs) installed in SIMM sockets on the system board.
Four SIMM sockets are integrated on the system board. Non-multimedia systems ship with
two 4-MB SIMMs (8 MB total) installed in two sockets. The multimedia, 1.2 GB, and 1.6
GB hard disk configurations ship with two 8-MB SIMMs (16 MB total) installed in two
sockets.
The SIMM memory sockets accept 32-bit (non-parity) 4-, 8-, 16-, or 32-MB 70 ns 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), and
8 MB x 32 bit (32 MB). When the standard SIMMs are removed, four 32-MB SIMMs may
be installed for a total of 128 MB.
CAUTION:
SIMMs must match the tin metal
plating used on the system board SIMM sockets.
When adding SIMMs, use tin-plated SIMMs.
1-10 Technical Information
SIMMs install directly in the four sockets on the system board. The four sockets are
assigned as SIMM 1 through SIMM 4. For non-multimedia configurations, the two
standard 4 MB SIMMs are installed in SIMM 1 and SIMM 2. For multimedia
configurations, the two standard 8 MB SIMMs are installed in SIMM 1 and SIMM 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. SIMM banks 1
and 2 must always be filled for the system to operate. Table 1-5 shows the SIMM memory
upgrade path.

Technical Information 1-11
Integrated Graphics
The system has an Alliance ProMotion-6422 PCI local bus motion video playback
controller and graphics accelerator 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).
The integrated graphics controller integrates a motion video controller, a high-performance
GUI accelerator, 24-bit high frequency DAC and clock generator, VESA®-compliant
feature connector, and 1 MB of fast 64-bit DRAM (upgradeable to 2 MB).
Motion Video Controller
The motion video controller integrates a powerful Windows® GUI engine and unique
motion video playback hardware for superior performance. The graphics engine includes an
on-chip color space converter to accelerate decompression and a hardware scaler to scale
continuously from native size up to full screen at full speed. The graphics engine delivers a
full screen, smooth display of motion video data up to 30 frames per second (fps). Support
includes MPEG-1 and Video for Windows.
MPEG is a compression/decompression standard developed by the Motion Picture Experts
Group. MPEG produces full-screen 30 fps, broadcast-quality digital video. The video
controller architecture maximizes the motion video performance and removes bandwidth
bottlenecks to display multimedia data at its full speed.
Graphics Accelerator
The graphics accelerator is specifically designed for graphics-intensive operations, text and
color pixel amplification, and scrolling. The graphics accelerator provides 64-bit, ultra-high
performance for demanding True Color, High Color, and pseudocolor GUI and CAD
applications.
The accelerator minimizes bus traffic by off-loading the tasks normally performed by the
processor. The dedicated bit-block transfers (BitBLT) engine maximizes performance by
speeding the movement of large blocks of image data in video memory.
Video Memory
The system comes with 1 MB of on-board video DRAM, upgradeable to 2 MB. The
standard 1 MB DRAM consists of two 256K by 16 DRAM devices soldered to the system
board. The optional 1 MB of DRAM consists of two 256 KB by 16 modules that install in
two sockets on the system board.
1-12 Technical Information
With the standard 1 MB of video DRAM, the video hardware supports the following
resolutions, colors, and refresh rates:
1280 by 1024 pixels, 16 colors, 60 Hz
1024 by 768 pixels, 16/256 colors, 60 Hz, 66 Hz, 70 Hz, 72 Hz, and 75 Hz

800 by 600 pixels, 16.8 million colors, 56 Hz, 60 Hz, 72 Hz, and 75 Hz.
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.
Technical Information 1-13
The interrupt levels are described in Table 1-6. Interrupt-level assignments 0 through 15 are
in order of decreasing priority. See Section 2, Setup and Operation, for information on
