TECHNICAL PRODUCT SUMMARY
INTEL PROFESSIONAL WORKSTATION TECHNICAL PRODUCT SPECIFICATION
This document outlines the features and specifications for the Intel Professional Workstation Microcomputer product line.
A basic understanding of the Professional Workstation will be provided by detailing the features, capabilities, and benefits
of the product. Detailed technical information is provided in the appendices for those users who would like to know more
about how to interface additional hardware with the Professional Workstation.
I.
INTRODUCTION
The Professional Workstation product family delivers excellent, cost effective performance in a low-profile chassis.
Incorporating SCSI, LAN, and Video controllers on the motherboard, the Professional Workstation provides a number of onboard resources that would otherwise require the use of add-in I/O expansion cards. This integration delivers increased
functionality, increased reliability, and increased performance while reducing the system power requirements and the need
for a large number of expansion slots. Integration tasks by the OEM are simplified, system reliability is increased, and a
consistent set of functions and options are provided to the end user, improving system compatibility. A range of
price/performance options is provided by offering a choice of 4 different i486-based CPUs. A performance upgrade socket
allows for easy upgrades in the field. Additionally, two EISA compatible expansion slots deliver high performance
expandibility.
The Professional Workstation will excel in networked business workstation and CAD/CAM applications, in office
automation applications requiring multi-function client systems, and as a high performance integrated PC platform.
II.
PROFESSIONAL WORKSTATION SYSTEM FEATURES
A.
CPU
The Professional Workstation allows for a choice of four different i486-based CPUs: the LP486SX/20E uses a 20 MHz
i486SX, the LP486SX/25E uses a 25 MHz i486SX, the LP486/33E uses a 33 MHz i486DX and the LP486DX2/50 uses a 50 MHz
i486DX2. Thei486DX2/50 embodies the latest "clock doubling" technology from Intel. This component has been created with
an internal clock that runs twice as fast as the external clock i.e the system still runs @ 25 MHz but the internals of the CPU
run at 50 Mhz. The wide range in system performance that this engenders allows the OEM to select the price/performance
option appropriate for his application.
The Professional Workstation supports all the i486 CPU functionality. Common features of the three CPUs include backward
compatibility with the 8086, 80286, and 386 CPUs, burst mode bus cycles, and an on-chip 8 Kbyte cache. The cache is 4-way
set associative and uses a write-through policy. The cache can be disabled via either software or hardware. The i486DX
CPU contains an on-chip numeric coprocessor to increase the speed of floating point operations. This coprocessor is
backward code compatible with 387DX and 387SX math coprocessors and complies to ANSI/IEEE standard 754-1985.
B.
OverDrive Processor Socket
A socket is provided that allows users to upgrade the CPU performance of their systems. An i486SX based Professional
Workstation can be upgraded in two ways by installing an i487SX component in the OverDrive socket or by adding an
OverDrive processor This improves system performance by either adding a numeric coprocessor to speed floating point
calculations or by increasing the maximum internal CPU speed capability. The upgrade path for i486DX based systems also
takes the OverDrive processor path although the numeric coprocessor is not an option. The Table below shows the choices
of upgrade processors available and their relative socket. There is a Jumper block (J10) on the motherboard that allows for
upgrade CPU speed selection, see Section G in the attached Appendices for more details.

i486DX2-66
No Upgrade Available
* - Jumper (J10) change required
C.
Cache Memory Option
In addition to the i486's internal cache, the Professional Workstation provides a socket for an optional external cache, the
Intel 485 TurboCache Module. The socket allows three additional price/performance configurations: no external cache, 64
KByte cache, or 128 KByte cache. Presence of the cache module is automatically detected, no software or hardware changes
are required to take advantage of the external cache. The external cache is enabled/disabled in conjunction with the internal
i486 cache, both are either on or off together.
The module consists of an Intel 82485 cache controller and either 4 or 8 custom SRAM'S, depending on the cache size. The
module implements a 2-way set associative, write-through cache architecture, and provides full burst mode support for the
i486. Cache accesses occur at zero wait states. There is also an option in the BIOS Setup program allowing selected memory
addresses to be designated as non-cacheable.
Notes: Due to an errata on the 82359 DRAM Controller, the TurboCache module will not work correctly with only one SIMM
installed. A label has been attached to the socket to warn users of this potential limitation. This errata will be corrected in the
next stepping of the 82359, expected in late Q2 92.
The current version of the Turbocache has an errata that may cause system malfunction in a multitasking environment i.e
Netware386. It is important that the system be fitted with the latest version of the TurboCache that has had the errata
removed.
D.
System BIOS
The system BIOS is stored in two Intel FLASH EEPROM (28F001BT) devices, providing a total of 256 KByte of program
code space via a paged ROM memory scheme. The Professional Workstation uses Phoenix Technologies 80486 ROM BIOS
PLUS Version 1.00 01.S0 In addition to the Phoenix BIOS, the FLASH memory also contains the SETUP utility, Power-On
Self-Tests (POST), video BIOS, SCSI BIOS, Ethernet address, EISA configuration memory, EISA board ID, a 8-KByte user
definable region, and update recovery code. For improved system performance, the Professional Workstation supports
system BIOS shadowing, allowing the BIOS to execute from 32-bit on-board write-protected DRAM instead of the slower 8bit FLASH devices.
The increased functionality of the BIOS required more memory space than the standard 128 KByte region reserved for
system BIOS. A unique page ROM memory scheme (patent pending) was implemented to include the enhanced
functionality while ensuring compatibility with standard PC architecture. Not all the ROM is accessible at once, page
registers control which two 64 KByte pages are available at any one time. During normal operation, the 64 KByte page at
E0000-EFFFF always contains the video BIOS, while the 64 KByte page located at F0000-FFFFF swaps between one of three
pages: POST, SETUP, and run-time BIOS.
Further information on BIOS functions can be found in the documents listed below:

1. BIOS Upgrades
FLASH memory brings new opportunities for distributing BIOS upgrades. Installing a new version of BIOS will no
longer require removal of the system cover and the replacement of EPROM'S. Instead, the upgrade can be done
completely from a floppy diskette. Easy access to BIOS upgrades will be available through down-loadable files on the
iPAN bulletin board.
Security is provided in two ways. First, the FLASH upgrade utility insures the upgrade BIOS matches the target system
to prevent accidentally installing a BIOS for a different type of system. Second, security to prevent unauthorized
changes to the BIOS is provided via a write protect jump er on the motherboard. The default setting is to allow BIOS
upgrades. A recovery jumper is provided to recover from the unlikely event of an unsuccessful BIOS upgrade. It forces
the ROM decode to access an 16 KByte block of write protected code in the FLASH device that facilitates recovery.
The default value for this jumper is for "normal" mode (note: this jumper is not changed during normal BIOS updates, it
is used only if a problem is encountered).
2. BIOS Setup Program
The BIOS SETUP Program has been enhanced and provides several new options to take advantage of the Professional
Workstation's new features. New options include:
On-board LAN -- enable/disable
On-board SCSI -- enable/disable.
Lan Media type -- Twisted pair or AUI.
On-board IDE -- enable/disable
800x600 Mode Refresh Rate -- 56/60/72Hz. Allows the user to set the refresh rate appropriate to his monitor to
obtain the sharpest display.
1024x768 Mode Refresh Rate -- Interlaced @ 44-88Hz / Non-interlaced @ 60Hz / Non-interlaced @ 70Hz/ Noninterlaced @ 72Hz. Allows the user to set the refresh rate appropriate to his monitor (less expensive interlaced or
high resolution non-interlaced) to obtain the sharpest display.
On-board Mouse Port -- Enable/Disable. Disabling the mouse port frees up an interrupt line.
Parallel Port -- Enable/Disable, Bi-directional/Output only, LPT1/LPT2.
Cache Block Disable -- Enable/Disable. When enabled, allows specified blocks of memory to be designated as
non-cacheable.
I/O Bus Performance -- Standard/Enhanced. Changes the refresh timing characteristics of the system to enhance
performance. The system will enable a function called FAST VIDEO if this setup parameter is ENABLED. This will
improve the video performance by a factor of approximately 2. Expansion cards that make use of the bus refresh
signal may not work correctly with this parameter set to enhanced mode.

PROFESSIONAL W ORKSTATION
Shadow Memory Options -- Allows specified 16 KByte blocks of memory from C0000 to DFFFFH to be shadowed
to on-board DRAM. Primarily used to shadow expansion card ROM.
System Information -- Displays information on several aspects of system configuration, such as Ethernet address,
BIOS version, processor type, LAN media type, etc.
The SETUP program is accessed by pushing the F1 key following a reboot of the system. For security purposes, access
to SETUP can disabled via a jumper on the motherboard.
E.
Keyboard Controller
An Intel 8742 surface mount micro controller contains the Phoenix Technologies PS/2 compatible keyboard/mouse controller
code. PS/2 style keyboard and mouse connectors are located on backpanel of the system. The micro controller code
supports Power-On/Reset (POR), network, and keyboard password protection. Network and keyboard passwords require
programs contained on the utility disk that ships with the system, the POR password is set via the SETUP program. In
addition, the keyboard controller provides for the following "HOT" key sequences:
•
•
•
CTRL-ALT.-DEL.: System software reset.
This sequence performs a software reset of the system by jumping to the beginning of the BIOS code and
running the POST operation, excluding memory tests.
CTRL-ALT-1 and CTRL-ALT-2: Turbo mode selection*.
These two sequences can be used to toggle between turbo and de-turbo modes. CTRL-ALT-1 sets the
system into de-turbo mode (emulates an MHz 80286 CPU using wait states) and CTRL-ALT-2 sets the
system into turbo mode (its normal operation at 33MHz).
CTRL-ALT-+ and CTRL-ALT--: Keystroke Click Sound level selection.
This adjusts the speaker level for the click sounds made when a key is depressed. The level of sound may
be adjusted from not audible to loud with 7 levels in between.
*Note: Changing the Turbo mode may at times be prohibited by an operating system or application software.
F.
System Memory
The Professional Workstation provides four 36-bit wide SIMM sites for memory expansion. The memory array is controlled
by an Intel 82359 DRAM controller, data buffering is provided by two Intel 82353 Advanced Data Path devices. The four
SIMM sites support 256K x 36, 512K x 36, 1M x 36, and 2M x 36 SIMM modules, and will support 16M x 36 and 32M x 36
modules as they become available (see the Appendix for a complete list of possible memory configurations). Maximum
current memory size, using four 2M x 36 SIMM modules is 32 MBytes. Memory timing is designed for 80 ns fast page
devices, faster DRAMs will operate in the board but will provide no performance improvement. Parity generation/checking is
provided for each 8-bit byte. Systems initial shipped by Intel had two 2 MByte SIMM installed. The current configuration
includes one 4 MByte SIMM.
SIMMs may be installed in combinations of one, two or four modules and each SIMM must be of the same memory size (see
the Appendix for a complete list of combinations). These restrictions allow the memory design to be optimized for the best
possible performance. The best memory performance is achieved when all four SIMM sites are populated. This allows for 4way interleaving of the DRAM, supporting n-1-1-1 type burst cycles from the i486. If only two SIMMs are present the
DRAM will be 2-way interleaved. The slowest memory accesses occur when only one SIMM site is populated.
There are no jumper settings required for the memory size configuration, the System BIOS automatically sizes memory and
initializes the 82359 DRAM controller for appropriate DRAM configuration and interleave factor.
G.
EISA Bus Interface
The interface to the EISA bus is controlled by the Intel 82350DT chip set. The chip set consists of a 82358DT EISA Bus
Controller (EBC), a 82357 Integrated System Peripheral (ISP), a 82359 DRAM controller, two 82353 Advanced Data Path
buffers, and two 82352 EISA Bus Buffers (EBB) (one in data buffer mode, the other in address buffer mode).
Intel Corporation
PAGE 9
TECHNICAL PRODUCT SUMMARY
1. 82359 DRAM Controller
The 82359 provides all control signals necessary to drive the DRAM array, including multiplexed address signals. It
also controls system access to memory and generates snoop controls to maintain cache coherency.
2. 82358DT EISA Bus Controller (EBC)
The 82358DT is a superset of the original 82358 and includes a mode compatible with the 82359 Buffered Bus. The
EBC controls all EISA bus cycles, including DMA transfers, EISA and ISA bus master cycles, and Host EISA
cycles. The EBC also controls any byte swapping and byte assembly required.
3. 82357 Integrated System Peripheral (ISP)
The 82357 integrates seven 32-bit DMA channels, five 16-bit timer/counters, two eight-channel interrupt controllers,
NMI logic, refresh address generation, and EISA bus arbitration circuitry together onto the same device.
4. 82353 Advanced Data Path (ADP)
The two 82353 ADPs provide data paths between the Host Bus, the DRAM array, and the system interface. Each
ADP provides 16-bits of host data, one for even bytes, one for odd bytes. Both the Host and system interfaces are
32-bits wide, the interface to the memory array is 128-bits wide.
5. 82352 EISA Bus Buffer (EBB)
The 82352 EBBs provide address and data buffering to the EISA bus. One EBB is used for address buffering, the
second EBB is used to buffer the 32 data bits.
H.
EISA Expansion Slots
The Professional Workstation motherboard contains one EISA compatible connector. This connector is used to support a
riser card that contains two horizontal EISA bus master expansion slots. These expansion slots support 8- or 16-bit ISA
compatible expansions cards as well as any EISA compatible expansion cards. The EISA expansion cards are oriented
parallel to the motherboard, rather than perpendicular. This parallel orientation makes the low profile chassis outline
possible. The riser card is limited to a maximum of two EISA expansion slots by electrical constraints of the motherboard as
well as physical constraints of the system chassis.
I.
LAN Subsystem
1. 82596CA LAN Controller
The on-board LAN controller is an Intel 82596CA operating at 33MHz and is IEEE 802.3 compliant. The controller
resides on the Buffered bus of the 82358DT EISA Bus Controller (for more information on the Buffered Bus, see the
82358DT data sheet). The 82596CA shares memory space in main memory with the i486 processor. A 64-byte transmit
FIFO and a 128-byte receive FIFO is contained in the 82596CA. When the transmit FIFO reaches a predetermined
threshold level, network transmission begins. When the receive FIFO reaches its threshold level, the 82596CA arbitrates
for control of the Buffered Bus and transfers the contents of the FIFO into main memory.
2. Ethernet Address
Each system has its own unique 6-byte Ethernet address as specified by the IEEE 802.3 standard. This address is stored
in the FLASH EPROM on the system board. The Ethernet address area in FLASH memory is write protected to prevent
accidental erasure. Software can access this address via a BIOS INT15 call, the user can display both the ethernet
address and the interrupt being used by the 82596CA from the System Information screen accessed via the SETUP
program.
3. LAN Media Connections
PAGE 10
OPD Technical Marketing
PROFESSIONAL W ORKSTATION
The Professional Workstation supports both the Attachment Unit Interface (AUI) and Twisted Pair (10BaseT) network
connections. Only one interface can be active at any one time, and only one cable should be connected to the
Professional Workstation at any one time to prevent possible loading issues on the inactive interface. The active
interface is selectable via the SETUP program.
AUI is specified in Chapter 7 of the IEEE 802.3 Ethernet specification. Connection is via a 15-pin D-sub connector
located on the back panel of the system. The AUI connection provides a 12 V source, a one amp fuse on the
motherboard provides overcurrent protection. An external Medium Attachment Unit (MAU) may be connected to
interface to other network mediums, such as Cheapernet (10Base2).
10BaseT is specified in the IEEE 802.3 supplement, Section 14. Connection to the LAN is via an RJ-45 connector located
on the back panel of the system.
4. LAN Drivers
DOS LAN drivers are included in the Base Software Kit which is shipped with the system. Two protocols are supported,
IPX for Novell and NDIS for Microsoft compatible networks. Microsoft compatible networks include Microsoft
LANMAN, BANYAN Vines, DEC Pathworks, and IBM LAN server.
The required boot disks and LAN driver for SCO UNIX V.3.2 are included in the optional Unix Software Accessory kit
(LPUNIXKIT). The LAN driver supplies an LLI compliant interface that is compatible with SCO's TCP/IP software.
The LAN driver for OS/2 is included in the Intel OS/2 Operating System Package. The driver supports an NDIS
compatible interface. Compatible networks include Microsoft's LANMAN and IBM's LAN server.
LAN drivers for a Novell server are included in the optional Novell Server Kit (part # LPNOVLSKIT).
Please see the Appendix for a complete matrix of driver information.
J.
SCSI Subsystem
1. NCR 53C700 SCSI I/O Processor (SIOP)
The on-board SCSI I/O processor is a NCR 53C700. This component has internal FIFOs on the SCSI and host data
busses, 32-bit address and data busses, and an internal SCRIPTS processor capable of fast DMA. A custom ASIC is
used to convert the 386-like bus interface of the NCR 53C700 to the asynchronous strobed interface required by the
82359 DRAM Controller. The SIOP runs at 33 MHz, the maximum theoretical data transfer rate is 66 MBytes/sec across
the Buffered Bus, and 8.25 MBytes/sec across the SCSI bus.
2. SCSI Physical Interface
The SCSI Physical Interface consists of the SCSI connectors for the internal hard drive, the external SCSI port, the
termination's at each end of the SCSI bus, and the SCSI termination power circuitry.
A riser card is used to connect the baseboard SCSI bus to the SCSI hard drive. The Power Workstation supports only
the single ended SCSI mode. A short ribbon cable with standard 3M type connectors and power cable are used to
connect the drive to the riser card.
A fine pitch 50-pin connector located on the back panel of the system is used for the external SCSI interface. When an
internal SCSI drive is installed, up to six additional SCSI devices can be connected via the external connector. This
number can be increased to seven when no internal SCSI drive is installed.
The SCSI standard requires termination at each end of the bus. Termination for the internal drive is soldered into the
riser card. Therefore, internal drives must not have termination resistors installed. Termination at the external end of the
bus consists of an ext ernal removable termination block. This termination block is available from both AMP and
Intel Corporation
PAGE 11
TECHNICAL PRODUCT SUMMARY
FOXCON. The AMP part number is 749535-2. This terminator is not required when an internal IDE drive is implemented.
Termination power is routed to the termination resistors through a 1.0 Amp fuse. Termination power can be disabled via
a jumper on the motherboard for applications where a different SCSI device is supplying termination power.
3. SCSI Drivers
SCSI drivers for DOS are shipped with the system. No drivers are required for DOS if Protected Mode of the CPU is not
used i.e. memory mangers or Windows 3.0 is NOT used, and the only peripheral devices installed are one or two SCSI
hard disks using the onboard SCSI controller: All functions are taken care of by the SCSI BIOS. All other situations,
such as multiple host adapters, mixture of SCSI and IDE drives, booting from a SCSI device other than a hard drive, use
of an extended memory manager (such as QEMM, EMM386 or Windows 3.0), etc., require installation of the (4) supplied
SCSI drivers.
Unix SCSI drivers for SCO V.3.2 are included in the Unix Software Accessory Kit, SCSI drivers for OS/2 are included in
the Intel OS/2 Release 1.3 Operating system package. Please see the Appendix for a complete matrix of driver
information.
K.
Video Subsystem
1. Western Digital WD90C30 Graphics Controller
The Professional Workstation incorporates an Extended VGA video solution onto the system board using a Western
Digital WD90C30 chip-set. Intel's patent pending circuitry can speed graphics performance by up to 50% over standard
designs. The WD90C30 is fully compatible with the MDA, CGA, Hercules Graphics, EGA, and VGA video standards.
Standard configuration comes with 512 KBytes of installed video DRAM. This allows for resolutions up to 800 x 600 x
256 colors or 1024 x 768 x 16 colors. The video memory can be increased to a total of 1 MByte by adding four 256K x 4
fast page mode 60 ns DRAMs to the four DIP sockets on the system board. With 1 MByte of Display Ram installed, the
Professional Workstation will support a maximum resolution of 1024 x 768 x 256 colors. The Professional Workstation
supports non-interlaced as well as interlaced monitors even at the higher resolutions. The Display Ram is paged into
128 KBytes of RAM located between A0000H and BFFFFH.
2. Western Digital Video BIOS
Video BIOS from Western Digital has been incorporated into the system BIOS. The BIOS supports the normal VGA
modes (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,D,E,F,10,11,12,13)1 and also supports several enhanced video modes (See the appendix for the
complete list). To allow for the use of other add-in video adapter cards, the on-board video BIOS can be disabled using
a hardware jumper.
3. Video Connectors
A standard PS/2 15-pin analog VGA connector is provided on the I/O backpanel. A VESA compliant 8514/A Feature
Connector is provided on the baseboard. This is typically used as a VGA pass through connector when an auxiliary
video subsystem is installed in one of the expansion slots, such as an 8514/A compatible video card or DVI board set.
4. Video Drivers and Utilities
Video drivers and utilities for DOS and WINDOWS 3.0 are shipped with the Professional Workstation system. Included
on the diskettes are enhanced mode drivers for common MS-DOS software applications such as AutoCAD, AutoShade,
Cadvance, Framework, GEM, Generic Cadd, PCAD, VersaCAD, WordPerfect, WordStar, Ventura and Lotus 123 &
Symphony. These come in a compressed form and are extracted by using a utility called "install" located on the
diskette. Several video utilities such as a screen saver and VGA mode switch routine are also included with the drivers.
1 Video modes 8, 9, A, B and C are not supported. Modes 8 & 9 are for PCjr systems and modes A, B and C are used by
systems using an EGA BIOS. Modes are listed in hex.

Video drivers for SCO UNIX should be obtained from the respective UNIX distributor. Please see the Appendix for a
complete matrix of driver information.
L.
EISA Configuration Utility
An EISA Configuration Utility (ECU) is shipped with the system. The ECU performs the setup and programming of the
system's EISA Non-Volatile Memory (NVM). A section of FLASH memory is used to store the EISA configuration
information. EISA and ISA boards are added and removed with the ECU to complete the specific system configuration. The
configuration is stored into FLASH memory and the system is rebooted. The contents of the EISA NVM and ISA CMOS
memory are used by system BIOS at boot time to configure EISA boards and determine system policies. The goal of the set
up program for this system was that the ECU should not need to be used if there are no EISA boards installed in the system
and default interrupts are used for the onboard resources. Refer to the information contained in the ECU HELP facility for
more information.
M.
Western Digital WD16C552 Serial/Parallel Controller
The Professional Workstation uses a WD16C552 to integrate one parallel and two serial ports on the motherboard. Standard
AT-type connectors are available on the back panel of the system. The serial ports include 16-byte FIFOs and are capable of
operation up to 56K Baud. Either serial port can be programmed as COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4, or disabled. The parallel
port can be configured via the SETUP program as LPT1, LPT2, or disabled, and can be set as bi-directional or output only.
N.
Real Time Clock, Battery-Backed CMOS RAM and Battery
The Real Time Clock (RTC) is implemented using a Dallas DS1287 device. The DS1287 is accurate to within 13 minutes/year
and requires no external support (the battery and oscillator are integrated into the device). The component is socketed and
can be replaced if the internal battery loses its charge (the internal battery has an estimated lifetime of ten years).
The RTC can be set via the BIOS SETUP Program. CMOS memory supports the standard 64-byte battery-backed RAM,
fourteen bytes for clock and control registers, fifty bytes of general purpose non-volatile CMOS RAM. All CMOS RAM is
reserved for BIOS use. The CMOS RAM can be set to specific values or cleared to the system default values using the BIOS
SETUP program. Also, the CMOS RAM values can be cleared to the system defaults by using a hardware jumper.
O.
Speaker
The on-board speaker has been integrated into the power supply to improve manufacturability and reduce unnecessary
cabling. The speaker may be enabled or disabled using the BIOS SETUP program and may also be programmed using I/O
port 61H. The speaker provides error code information during POST if the system cannot use the video interface (see the
appendix for beep code information).

TECHNICAL PRODUCT SUMMARY
P.
System Peripherals
1. Peripheral Bays
The Professional Workstation supports 2 built-in peripheral bays in a single peripheral carrier assembly. The bays
included are:
•
1- Half-Height, 3.5" wide, Internal bay
Mounting hardware supports standard 3.5" hard disk drives form factor.
Connections for either SCSI or IDE.
•
1- Third-Height, 3.5" wide, Externally accessible bay
Connection for custom "docking" 3.5" floppy drive (see Floppy Drive Interface below).
The carrier assembly is easily removed for access and serviceability. A riser card is used to route the control, data and
power signals for the floppy and hard drive from the motherboard to the peripheral carrier. The peripheral riser card
connects to the motherboard via a 132-pin card-edge connector and is attached to the peripheral carrier by two
mounting brackets. Internal SCSI termination resistors are always present on the peripheral riser card.
2. Floppy Drive Interface
An on-board AT compatible floppy interface is provided by an Intel 82077AA-1 Floppy Controller. The Professional
Workstation supports only a single 3.5" 1.44 MByte floppy drive. The drive uses a custom docking connector, allowing
the drive to connect directly to the peripheral riser card. This eliminates the need for power and data cables, improving
reliability, serviceability and EMI characteristics. The floppy drive can be enabled or disabled via the BIOS SETUP
program. An option for increased security disables writes to the floppy drive via a jumper on the motherboard.
3. Mass Storage Devices
The Professional Workstation supports one internal 3.5" half height mass storage device using either the SCSI-2 or
standard 40-pin IDE interface. Cable length is reduced to a minimum by using a peripheral riser card to route the control
and power signals up to the drive bay. This improves the serviceability and reduces EMI emissions. The hard disk
drive can be enabled or disabled via the BIOS SETUP program. Selection between the SCSI or IDE interface is also done
via SETUP.
Q.
Front Panel
The front panel includes the reset and power-on/off switches for easy access. Hard Disk active, floppy active, and power-on
LED indicators are also provided. All the LED indicators are green.
R.
System Chassis
The Professional Workstation is housed in a low profile chassis. The enclosure consists of a sheet metal base, sheet metal
top cover, and drop-in peripheral carrier. There are four color keyed plastic pieces: the front bezel and top/side cover snap
onto the metal top cover, the back panel and bottom snap onto the sheet metal base. Access to the inside of the system is
obtained by removing one screw and lifting off the top cover.
S.
Security
1. Physical Security
A standard hasp style lock (not provided by Intel) can be used to retain the top cover. This prevents undesired access
to the internal compartment of the Professional Workstation where the CMOS Password Clear jumper is located. In
addition, it prevents someone from removing or modifying add-in cards or peripherals. The hasp lock can also be used
to cable the Professional Workstation to a fixed object, preventing theft of the system.
PAGE 14
OPD Technical Marketing
PROFESSIONAL W ORKSTATION
2. Network Security
The Professional Workstation was designed with several features to make it an especially secure system in a network
environment. A CMOS-based password during Power-on/Reset can be enabled. If the password jumper is set to
"keep" and a valid password has been entered from the BIOS SETUP program, the system will prompt for a password
every time the system is rebooted. The system will prompt for a password until the password is cleared at power-up or
the password jumper is moved to "clear". The password can be cleared or changed when the system prompts for the
password by following the steps below:
1) To remove a password at the "Enter password:" prompt type the current password followed by a forward slash
character. Example, "Enter password: current_password/<cr>", will remove the current password.
2) To change a password at the "Enter password:" prompt, type current password, forward slash, new password,
forward
slash,
new
password,
carriage
return.
Example,
"Enter
Password:
current_password/new_password/new_password<cr>".
Other security features include a jumper to disable access to the BIOS SETUP program to prevent unauthorized
modifications, and a jumper to disable the floppy write capability to prevent downloading of proprietary software or
confidential data.
T.
Power Supply
The Professional Workstation uses a custom power supply with auto-ranging AC input and an approximate total power
output of 142 watts. The power supply is a totally self-contained module that connects directly to the motherboard via a
custom connector, eliminating all power cables in the system. In addition to the normal power supply circuitry, the module
also houses the on/off and reset switches, front panel LED's, the speaker, external AC receptacles, and thermostatically
controlled cooling fans. All minimum load requirements for the power supply are met by the minimum configuration
motherboard.
A female auxiliary AC power outlet is provided at the rear of the system so that, with the right adapter, the system monitor
can be plugged into the Professional Workstation. This simplifies the power-on sequence by turning the monitor on or off
with the base system. The voltage output from the auxiliary power connector corresponds to the system's input AC voltage.

PROFESSIONAL WORKSTATION PRELIMINARY BENCHMARKS
Preliminary benchmark results comparing the Professional Workstation to other 486 33MHz machines indicate the system is
very competitive and delivers an unmatched price/performance ratio. Graphics in particular is a clear standout.
To achieve top performance, one of the components on the board, an ASIC device, requires a stepping revision. This
change has been made in systems that have a PBA number 515338-004 or greater A more complete benchmark report will be
available in late Q2 92.

Notes:
•
Above 512 Kbyte Baseboard memory, Video BIOS aliasing, and SCSI can be enabled/disabled via SETUP.
•
The option of re-mapping the video BIOS to 0C-0000H is provided for applications that require the video BIOS at that
location. If you are not sure if that your application requires the video BIOS to be located at 0C-0000H (most do not) then do
not enable this option in SETUP. Not enabling video mapping to 0C-0000H saves 32K of memory. In any case, the on-board
video BIOS will always be located at 0E-0000H.
•
Not all video modes are normally used at the same time. Some memory may be saved by defining which video modes
are to be used. Typically 0B-0000 to 0B-7FFFH is only used when a monochrome monitor is attached to the sytem, while
both the text and graphics VGA modes are often used when a VGA monitor is attached.
•
The BIOS SETUP program provides for shadowing off-board ROM BIOS into onbard RAM on 16K boundaries. This
is available in memory located between 0C-0000H and 0D-FFFFH.
*
Under certain circums tances these areas of memory may be included into the memory pool used by a memory manager
i.e EMM386
PAGE 30
OPD Technical Marketing
PROFESSIONAL W ORKSTATION
**
The memory consumed by the SCSI BIOS is only 20K bytes long but the system will shadow a 32KByte range of
memory due to the granularity of the hardware shadowing system.. With the SCSI BIOS installed the area from 0CD000 to
0CFFFF cannot be used for add-in boards but can be used by a memory manager i.e EMM386. The memory manager will
include this area by default.
*** Inclusion of this area into the memory pool of a memory manager like EMM386 may cause malfunction in the use of
both onboard networking and SCSI devices and off board EISA add-in boards.

2) IRQ 0, 1, 2, 8, and 13 cannot be used by an add-in card. In PC-XT compatible systems, IRQ 2 was available for use on the
XT-Bus. In PC-AT compatible systems, IRQ 2 is not available for use on the bus. Some older ISA expansion boards have an
option to use IRQ 2. This should not be selected when such a board is installed in a Professional Workstation system.

Baseboard: System PBA including BIOS, RAM and jumpers, also known as motherboard
BIOS: Basic Input/Output System
Cache: A small amount of high speed RAM used to store copies of memory locations found in slower system memory.
This is used to improve system performance.
Cache Coherency: A cache memory location is said to be coherent when it contains an exact copy of the data found in the
system memory location that it corresponds to. When the cache is coherent a flag (the cache tag bit) is set.
Cache Tag Bit: A flag used to determine if a cache location contains a valid copy of the system memory location it
corresponds to.
