Preface

This Technical Information Manual provides information on the IBM PC 300PL (Types 6562 and 6592).

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 throughout this manual, except in cases where differences between the two 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 1 024 bytes (2 10 ), 1 MB equals 1 048 576 bytes (2 20 ), and 1 GB equals 1 073 741 824 bytes

(2 30 ).

When expressing storage capacity, MB equals 1 000 KB (1 024 000). 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 reserved describes certain signals, bits, and registers that should not be changed.

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.

Chapter 2. System Board Features


This section provides information about system board features. For an illustration of the PC 300PL system board, refer to “Physical Layout” on page 24.

For a list of features provided with PC 300PL computers, refer to “Hardware Features” on page 1.

Microprocessor

PC 300PL computers have an Intel Pentium processor with MMX technology. This microprocessor has separate core supply (2.8 V) and I/O supply (3.52 V) voltages. A voltage regulator on the system board converts the 3.52 V provided by the power supply to the core voltage (2.8 V) required by the microprocessor.

The Pentium processor with MMX technology features the following:

Optimization for 32-bit software

Operation at a lower voltage level than previous microprocessors

64-bit data bus

32-bit I/O bus

32 KB L1 cache (split into 16 KB write-through code cache and 16 KB write-back data cache)

Fractional bus speed (selectable at 2/7, 2/5, 1/3, or 1/2 bus/core frequency ratio)

Power management features (stop clock, I/O trap restart, autohalt, system management mode)

Math coprocessor

Support for MMX technology (boosts the processing of graphic, video, and audio data)

More information on the Pentium processor with MMX technology can be found on the World Wide Web at http://www.intel.com.

The microprocessor plugs into a 321-pin PGA processor ZIF socket (Socket 7) located on the system board. This socket will accommodate the 320-pin Pentium processor with MMX technology. The ZIF socket defines approximately half of the Vcc pins for core supply and the other half for I/O supply.

For information on replacing a microprocessor or installing an upgrade, refer to Installing Options in Your

PC 300PL (Type 6562) or Installing Options in Your PC 300PL (Type 6592).

Chip Set Control

PC 300PL computers use the second-generation Intel 82430HX chip set, which consists of two modules.

The 324-pin TXC module provides a bridge between the PCI bus and the microprocessor bus. (For information on the PCI bus, see “PCI-to-ISA Bridge” on page 8.) The TXC module also controls the cache and system memory interfaces.

The 208-pin, PIIX3 module provides a bridge between the PCI and ISA buses. The module, which is fully compliant with PCI Local Bus Specification (Version 2.1), also contains the IDE and USB controllers.

6



L2 Cache

The L2 cache installed in PC 300PL computers consists of synchronous, pipeline burst, SRAMs installed in a single bank on the system board. There is one 32K x 8 bit, 15 ns, 5 V SRAM tag module and two

64K x 32 bit, 8ns, 3.3 V SRAM modules installed. Features of the L2 cache are as follows:

Look-aside architecture

Direct-mapped (one-way associativity) organization

Operates in write-back mode

Follows MESI (modified, exclusive, shared, invalid) protocol

Implemented as a unified cache (cache code and data)

System Memory

The system memory interface in PC 300PL computers is controlled by the Intel TXC chip set module.

(Refer to “Chip Set Control” on page 6 for information on the TXC module.) There are three dual inline memory module (DIMM) sockets on the system board. The DIMM sockets are powered by

+

3.3 volts.

This voltage allows for low-power operation and supports 64-Mbit technology. For DIMM socket pin assignments, refer to “System Memory Connectors” on page 43.

The system board supports:

A total of 384 MB of system memory

A maximum of 128 MB of system memory in each DIMM socket

Any configuration of DIMMs is acceptable. However, DIMMs must have the following characteristics:

Must be EDO nonparity (NP) or EDO error correcting code (ECC) DRAMs

Must be 16, 32, 64, or 128 MB in size

Must be 168-pin, unbuffered,

+

3 V, serial PD type

Must have gold-lead tabs

Must have 60 ns access speed only

Also, note the following:

EDO NP modules and EDO ECC modules can be mixed, but they will configure as NP.

To enable ECC, all installed memory must be of the EDO ECC type.

Note: Single inline memory modules (SIMMs) are not supported in PC 300PL computers.

Chapter 2. System Board Features

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 PCI Local Bus Specification 2.1. The PCI bus runs synchronously to the 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.

System I/O and Power Management

The Intel PIIX3 chipset module that provides the PCI-to-ISA bridge also provides all the subsystems of the

ISA bus. These subsystems are:

An ISA-compatible interrupt controller that provides the function of two cascaded 82C59 interrupt controllers

Three counters, equivalent to an 82C54 programmable interval timer

The function of two 82C37 DMA controllers with seven independent DMA channels (four 8-bit channels and three 16-bit channels)

Power management features

For further information on the PIIX3 chipset module, refer to “Chip Set Control” on page 6.

8



IDE Bus Master Interface

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

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

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.

USB Interface

The Intel PIIX3 chipset module contains the controller for the USB interface in PC 300PL computers.

(Refer to “Chip Set Control” on page 6 for information on the PIIX3 module.) Two USB ports are provided on the rear connector panel of the computers. A USB-enabled device can be attached to each port, and if that device is a hub, multiple peripheral devices can be attached to the hub and be used by the system.

Plug and Play technology is used to recognize installed devices. The USB port functions at speeds of up to 1.5 Mbits per second or 12 Mbits per second. Data is transferred in either asynchronous or isochronous mode. The system does not support a keyboard attached to either of the USB ports as a boot device.

These modes are selected through the Configuration/Setup Utility program, with the default mode set to SPP. The ECP and

EPP modes are compliant with IEEE 1284.

The following table shows the typical system resource assignments for the parallel port.

Note: The default setting for the parallel port is LPT1. When the computer is started, the resource assignments are subject to change during POST.

The external interface for the parallel port is a 25-pin, female, D-shell connector. For information on connector pin assignments, see “Parallel Port Connector” on page 46.

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.

The following table shows the typical system resource assignments for the serial ports.

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 or a 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.

Audio

The system board has a Crystal 4236B, 16-bit, stereo audio subsystem that provides all the digital audio and analog mixing functions required for recording and playing high-quality sound from PC 300PL computers. The audio subsystem provides the following functions:

ISA bus interface

Digital audio processor that supports Sound Blaster Pro, Adlib, and Microsoft Windows Sound System applications

MIDI UART

Windows Sound System interface

FM synthesizer interface

16-bit codec/mixer

PC 300PL computers have a built-in, high-quality speaker and four audio jacks (ports). The jacks are industry-standard, 3.5 mm (1/8") mini-jacks. A description of these jacks follows.

Audio Line Out: This jack, which is located on the rear connector panel, is used to send audio signals from the computer to external devices, such as stereo-powered speakers with built-in amplifiers, multimedia keyboards, or the Audio Line In jack on a stereo system.

Audio Line In: This jack, which is located on the rear connector panel, is used to send audio signals from an external device (such as a CD player or stereo) to the computer so that the signals can be recorded on the hard disk. (However, the input level must be reduced accordingly using the mixer provided in the computer operating system.)

Microphone: This jack, which is located on the front panel, is used to connect a microphone to the computer so that voice or other sounds can be recorded on the hard disk. This jack can also be used by speech-recognition software.

Headphone: This jack, which is located on the front panel, is used to connect headphones or small bookshelf speakers to the computer. The speakers must have built-in amplifiers. If headphones are inserted in the jack, the computer's built-in speaker is muted (except for system beeps).

PC 300PL computers also have a volume control knob on the front panel that adjusts the sound level for the headphone jack and built-in speaker.

Video Device Drivers

Video device drivers for the Matrox MGA-1164SG 3D controller are provided on the Ready-to-Configure

CD that comes with PC 300PL computers. Instructions for installing the device drivers are provided on the

Ready-to-Configure CD in Matrox README files that correspond to the operating system being used. (If a prompt appears requesting specification of Mystique or Millennium, specify Mystique.)

Note: Video device drivers have already been installed in computers that come with IBM-preinstalled software.

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 6562) and

Using Your PC 300PL (Type 6592) for a description of the upgrades available.

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.

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.


17


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).

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 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

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.

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).

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.

Switch 5 is reserved and should remain in the factory default Off position.

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.

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).


25


Internal Drives

The IDE, SCSI (some models only), and diskette interfaces provide connectors for attaching internal drives.

PC 300PL computers come standard with an internal diskette drive and an internal EIDE or SCSI hard disk drive. Some models also have an internal CD-ROM drive.

The following tables show the characteristics of internal drives that come standard with or are available for

PC 300PL computers.

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.


27


Power Input

For power input specifications, refer to Table 36 on page 32.

Power Output

The following tables show the power supply capacity per voltage for the PC 300PL (Type 6562) and PC

300PL (Type 6592). In the tables, amperes are designated with an A, and milliamperes with an mA.

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


This chapter provides information on some of the hardware, software, and BIOS compatibility issues for the PC 300PL (Type 6562) and (Type 6592). For a list of compatible hardware and software option packages available, refer to the Compatibility Report for these computers on the World Wide Web at http://www.us.pc.ibm.com/cdt.

Hardware Compatibility

This section discusses hardware and BIOS compatibility issues that must be considered when designing application programs.

Many of the interfaces are the same as those used by the IBM Personal Computer AT. In most cases, the command and status organization of these interfaces is maintained.

The functional interfaces are compatible with the following interfaces:

The Intel 8259 interrupt controllers (edge-triggered mode)

The National Semiconductor NS16450 and NS16550A serial communication controllers

The Motorola MC146818 Time of Day Clock command and status (CMOS reorganized)

The Intel 8254 timer, driven from a 1.193 MHz clock (channels 0, 1, and 2)

The Intel 8237 DMA controller, except for the Command and Request registers and the Rotate and

Mask functions; the Mode register is partially supported

The Intel 8272 or 82077 diskette drive controllers

The Intel 8042 keyboard controller at addresses 0060h and 0064h

All video standards using VGA, EGA, CGA, MDA, and Hercules modes

The parallel printer ports (Parallel 1, Parallel 2, and Parallel 3) in compatibility mode

Use the following information to develop application programs. Whenever possible, use the BIOS as an interface to hardware to provide maximum compatibility and portability of applications among systems.


33


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.

Diskette Drives and Controller

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 02F x 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).
