NOTE: Drive A is shipped from the factory as a 3.5 inch, 1.44MB floppy disk drive. CPU-BASIC FOUR-4119,MAI 1200,MAI 1400---------------FIB007 Pg008 3. Use the Left and Right Arrow keys to select the correct entry. If you are trying to configure a non-standard, third-party supplied drive (such as a 160KB, 180KB, or 320KB drive), select 5.25 Inch, 360KB. 4. If your system has two floppy disk drives, press the Down Arrow key to move to the Diskette B: field. Repeat the previous step to configure this drive. NOTE: If you've set the Diskette A: field to Not Installed, all BIOS configuration error messages for diskette drive A will be suppressed when you restart the system. If, however, there is a diskette drive in the Diskette A slot and you select Not Installed, the MAI 1200 will operate properly. 5. Press the Down Arrow key to continue the system configuration, or press Escape to reboot the system. 3.1.3.3 Configuring Hard Disk Drives 1. If you are changing the configuration of drive 1, move the cursor to the Hard Disk 1: field. If you are adding a second hard disk drive, move the cursor to the Hard Disk 2: field. (This configuration is not sold by MBF.) 2. To complete the Type entry, you must have information about the following drive characteristics: o Number of cylinders o Number of heads o Write precompensation, o Landing zone o Number of sectors o Storage capacity (in megabytes) If you don't have this information, press F1 to display the Hard Disk Help screens (the number of screens available depends on your system configuration). These screens provide guidelines to help you find the correct hard disk type. To exit the Help screens, press any key on the keyboard. NOTE: You can also get information about the hard disk drive characteristics from either: CPU-BASIC FOUR-4119,MAI 1200,MAI 1400---------------FIB007 Pg009 o the manufacturing report shipped with your system o the printed label on the hard disk drive o the documentation provided with the hard disk drive o the drive manufacturer 3. Scroll through the hard disk types until the correct type appears. 4. If you are configuring two hard disk drives, repeat this procedure for the Hard Disk 2: field. 5. Press the Down Arrown key to continue the system configuration, or press Escape to reboot the system. 3.1.3.4 Configuring Memory 1. Base Memory The Base Memory field should contain the amount of RAM installed on the CPU board. Check the documentation supplied with the MAI 1200 and type in the correct amount of memory, if necessary. You cannot use the arrow keys in this field; you must type in the correct amount. NOTE: The maximum base memory is 640KB. For a 1MB system the base memory will be 640KB. The additional memory is used for shadow BIOS and video or can be accessed by specially modified MS-DOS. Press the Down Arrow key to continue the applications system config- uration, or press Escape to reboot the system. 2. Extended Memory Move the cursor to the Extended Memory field and type in the correct amount of expansion RAM. If there is 1MB or less of total system memory, type 0. If there is over 1MB, subtract 1MB from the total system memory (the amount on the CPU plus any in an add-in I/O slot-not including the video controller memory) and enter the number in KB where KB = 1024 bytes. Example: 1MB CPU-BASIC FOUR-4119,MAI 1200,MAI 1400---------------FIB007 Pg010 or CPU + 2MB In the I/O slots = 3MB, 3MB - 1MB = 2MB enter 2048. 3. Press the Down Arrow key to continue the system configuration, or press Escape to reboot the system. 3.1.3.5 Configuring a Display Adaptor SETUP allows you to configure the following types of the display adaptor: o EGA/VGA o CGA40 o CGA80 o MONO o Not Installed NOTE: This entry is normally set to EGA/VGA (unless the standard Multi I/O board is removed). NOTE: VGA is not supported by the MAI 1200 hardware. 1. Move to the Display field and select the correct option. o If your system is configured with the standard Multi-I/O card, you should select the EGA/VGA option. o The Not Installed option suppresses configuration error messages during startup if your system doesn't have a monitor. o If you select Not Installed and your system does have a monitor, the monitor will still operate. 2. Press the Down Arrow key to continue the system configuration, or press Escape to reboot the system. 3.1.3.6 Configuring a Keyboard There are only two available options for the Keyboard field: Installed and Not Installed. Use the Not Installed option to configure a system without a keyboard. This option suppresses keyboard boot configuration error messages during system startup. If you do have a keyboard and select Not Installed, the keyboard will still operate properly. 3.1.3.7 Configuring CPU Speed This field should contain the speed of the CPU at system start-up. CPU-BASIC FOUR-4119,MAI 1200,MAI 1400---------------FIB007 Pg011 Low speed and High speed are the CPU speed options: Use the Left and Right Arrow keys to select the proper option. Press the Down Arrow key to continue the system configuration, or press Escape to reboot the system. NOTE: While using the system the CPU speed may be changed by using the ALT-CONTRL & up or down arrows (up=10Mhz, down=8Mhz). 3.1.3.8 Configuring Shadow RAMs These field's allow you to either enable or disable Shadow BIOs and Video RAM settings for the MAI 1200 when configured with over 512KB of base memory. By enabling these functions 640KB of the RAM will be allocated to MS-DOS. The ROM BIOs and Video ROM instructions will be down- loaded into main memory and typically improves performance significantly. Shadow RAM should be enabled for memory configurations greater than 512KB. 3.1.3.9 Configuring a Math Co-Processor The Co-Processor field is a display-only field. If the system was shipped with a math co-processor, the field will display Installed, otherwise, the field will dis- play Not Installed. Press the Down Arrow key to continue the system configuration, or press Escape to reboot the system. 3.2 Hardware Configurations Hardware installation and configuration is covered in detail in the MAI 1200 Service Manual, Chapter 2.

It is physically possible to have one parallel and two serial printers connected to the system, although only one printer at a time can be printing. The parallel printer is called either "LPT1" or "PRN." The serial printers can be either "COM1" or "COM2." Use the MODE command (see MS-DOS manual pages, for complete details) to set up the operational modes for the serial printer(s) on the system. For example, you can use the MODE command to configure either of the COM ports for baud rate and protocol.

The drive is Model M2227D2 manufactured by Fujitsu. This drive is also being used on the MAI 1500 and MAI 1800. The information on this FIB applies only to the MAI 1200. For MAI 1500/1800 information see FIB # 34 on the MAI 1500/1800 group. The 40MB 3.5" hard disk is offered in new MAI 1200 systems, and as a Field Upgrade to replace an existing 20MB drive or to add a hard disk to a floppy system. 40MB hard disk field upgrades may require a change on the CPU ROM BIOS to allow proper configuration of the drive. ROM BIOS version 3.10.03-04 on the MAI 1200 CPU board is required for the 40MB hard disk. These proms are being installed on all current production units. For existing systems in the field, a set of Proms will be provided with all add-on drives. ******* ROM BIOS installation: To determine if a change of proms is required, try using Hard Disk Type 26 on the Setup utility, if Type 26 display 615 cylinders and 8 heads, the proms already installed in the CPU board are the correct type. If Type 26 displays 1024 cylinders and 4 heads, the proms in the CPU board must be replaced with either one of the following prom sets: MM570331/400728-106.....ROM BIOS SET 3.10.03-04 (Supports 40MB disk) MM570332/400728-107.....ROM BIOS SET 3.10.03-05 (Supports 40MB disk and VGA) Install either one of the Prom Sets on the CPU board as follows: MM570331: Location P/N marked on ICs Version and CHKSUM marked on ICs -------- ----------------- -------------------------------- U16 212011401....EVEN V3.10-03-04.....F700 U13 212011501....ODD V3.10-03-04.....F900 MM570332: Location P/N marked on ICs Version and CHKSUM marked on ICs -------- ----------------- -------------------------------- U16 212011401....EVEN V3.10-03-05.....6700 U13 212011501....ODD V3.10-03-05.....6B00 ******* Jumper and Switch Settings on the 40MB drive: 1.

This problem may occur if the system is frequently powered on and off or if the system is moved. SYMPTOMS: Some symptoms of the problem are the system won't boot from the hard disk or other "invalid configuration" problems may occur. The problems are all related to erroneous information in one or more of the SETUP parameters. Examples of messages the user may see on the screen are: - No boot device available - Strike F1 to retry boot. - Invalid configuration information. Please run SETUP program - Strike F1 key to continue. SOLUTION: If the SETUP parameter are lost, the user should: 1. Boot the system with the "SYSTEM DIAGNOSTICS, SETUP and HDD FORMAT" diskette in drive A. 2. Choose the "Setup System Configuration" option. 3. Re-enter the appropriate SETUP parameters.

ORIGINATOR: JAVIER VAN OORDT MODIFIED by Norm Jones CPU-BASIC FOUR-4119,MAI 1200,MAI 1400---------------FIB019 Pg001 FIB 00020 08/31/89 *** Firmware Levels for the 1200 [ WPSF 551 ] *** Various levels of firmware have been released for the MAI 1200 system to allow for added functionality. There have been two different levels of ROM bios chipsets released (one set allows for 40MB disk drive support and the newest level allows for both VGA support as well as 40MB drive support). The new ROM bios chipsets are to be installed on the CPU board as replacements for the older ROM bios chipsets. There is also a new firmware level that allows for internal modem support. Please verify that the system has the proper firmware installed for the desired functionality. All systems being shipped as of June 1, 1989 incorporate the new firmware described below: o Internal modem support - The MAI 1200 will support an internal modem if an 82C605E IC (MBF P/N 400705-900) exists at location U503 of the multi-function board (see ECN #13485). o VGA support - A new ROM bios has been released to support serial/parallel ports when using a VGA video controller. This new bios consists of two IC's to be installed on the CPU (re- places the older bios chipset). The firmware is marked as: Even chksum:6700 and Odd chksum:6B00 MBF P/N 400728-107 (see ECN 13766) o 40MB drive support - Older ROM bios chipsets would not support the 40MB drive. The newest firmware (same as the VGA support firmware) is being shipped as part of the 40MB upgrade kit and should be used to replace the older firmware. An easy way to determine if the firmware will support the 40MB drive is: - Run the SETUP utility. - Move down to the 'Hard Disk 1' field. - Press the F1 key twice. Press . - If disk type 26 shows 615 cylinders, the 40MB drive is supported. If disk type 26 shows 1024 cylinders, the 40MB drive is not supported. NOTE: There was also an intermediate firmware release prior to the VGA support firmware that supported the 40MB drive but not VGA. Therefore, to support both the 40MB drive and the VGA, you must have the firmware that supports VGA installed.

The big brother to the MAI 1200, the MAI 1400 offers a workstation solution to users who require the power of a 16MHz 80386 based machine for MS-DOS applications (e.g., graphics, desktop publishing, engineering). These systems are available with a variety of options and provide a sensible choice for entry-level and single-user applications requiring a PC/AT-compatible device. The Intel 80386 CPU board offers twice the processing speed of the 80286 CPU board by utilizing a 16MHz clock (vs. the 10MHz on the 80286), 32-bit architecture (vs. the 16-bit on the 80286), and a memory capacity of up to 4Mb (vs. the 2Mb capacity of the 80286). In addition, new firmware enhancements to the 80386 CPU board allow for better system support and greater overall system control. Firmware enhancements include: o Auto-sizing of memory during system startup. It is no longer necessary for a service engineer to configure the CPU board for the amount of physical memory present. Firmware on the 80386 CPU board now detects how much physical memory is present, and runs memory self-tests on that amount of memory when the system is powered ON. o The SET-UP utility is now stored in firmware on the 80386 CPU board. This allows modifications to be made to system setup without having to insert a floppy diskette. Anytime an error is detected at startup, the system will provide the option for accessing the SET-UP program. NOTE: Only the SET-UP utility exists in firmware. The CPU-BASIC FOUR-4119,MAI 1200,MAI 1400---------------FIB022 Pg002 diagnostics and hard disk initialization programs must still be run from floppy diskette. o A new menu in SET-UP allows for greater customization of memory. The new SET-UP menu gives greater control over shadowed memory areas and allows variables, normally not defined by the user, to be defined. 2.0 HARDWARE OVERVIEW The MAI 1400, shown in Figure 2-1 below, is comprised of a main cabinet assembly, a keyboard, and a monitor. (see hard copy of Hardware Announcement 23 for picture of system) Figure 2-1. MAI 1400 System The main cabinet assembly contains a CPU board (with battery- backed clock/calendar), a hard disk controller board (optional), a power supply, a VGA controller card (optional), and a Multi- Function I/O Board (MFB). The Multi-Function I/O Board has the following features: o Two serial ports (one DB-9 and one DB-25) o One parallel port o One monitor port (EGA/CGA/MDA/Hercules display modes are built-in standard) o Two 5.25"/3.5" floppy disk drive ports 2.1 STANDARD FEATURES The MAI 1400 includes the following standard hardware: o 80386 32-bit microprocessor o A Multi-Function I/O Board (MFB), which includes two serial RS-232 ports, one parallel port, a monitor port, and a floppy disk controller o 1Mb to 4Mb memory configurations o IBM, PS/2-compatible, 3.5" floppy disk drive(s) that can read and write both 720Kb and 1.44Mb formatted disks. o 20Mb or 40Mb hard disk in some configurations o IBM PS/2-style keyboard (ordered separately - one keyboard required) o A passive backplane compatible with both PC/XT and PC/AT add-on boards o 14" monochrome, 14" CGA, or 14" VGA - compatible color monitor (ordered separately - one monitor required) 2.2 OPTIONAL FEATURES The following are the optional features available from MBF: CPU-BASIC FOUR-4119,MAI 1200,MAI 1400---------------FIB022 Pg003 o One 5.25", 360Kb or 1.2Mb floppy drive o Serial and parallel printers (details in Section 5.2) PT-4215 (24 wire matrix) PT-4216 (Daisywheel) PT-4217 (80 column workstation, non-MBF protocol) PT-4218 (132 column workstation, non-MBF protocol) PT-4222 (400 cps, 18 wire matrix) PT-4223 (Laser) o Modems - internal or external o Memory expansion to 4Mb o PCMOUSE - optical mouse (available through Supply Distribution Center U.S. only) o MAI PC-LINK 3.0 o Business BASIC/PC (BB/PC) - transport existing DS-500 applications or develop new applications o BEST BID estimating package (Runs at 8 MHz) 2.3 MIN/MAX CONFIGURATIONS (AS SUPPLIED BY MBF) MINIMUM/MAXIMUM MEMORY 1Mb / 4Mb FLOPPY DISK DRIVES 1 / 2 3.5" 720Kb/1.44Mb 1 / 2 5.25" 360Kb or 1.2Mb 0 / 1 HARD DISK DRIVE - 3.5" 20Mb or 40Mb 0 / 1 MONITOR 1 / 1 KEYBOARD 1 / 1 SERIAL DEVICES 0 / 2 PARALLEL DEVICE 0 / 1 NUMBER OF USERS 1 / 1 3.0 SET-UP AND HARDWARE CONFIGURATIONS 3.1 SET-UP 3.1.1 VERIFYING HARDWARE INSTALLATION The physical set-up procedure is covered in more detail in the MAI 1200/1400 Site Installation and Maintenance Manual, but a checklist is provided below for you to verify that all necessary steps have been performed prior to powering on and verifying the configuration setup. CPU-BASIC FOUR-4119,MAI 1200,MAI 1400---------------FIB022 Pg004 1. If your system has a 5.25" floppy drive, make sure to remove the shipping insert. NOTE: Steps 2 - 4 below were already done at the factory, so they are listed here for reference only. Only authorized service personnel should perform operations that involve removing the top cover and making internal adjustments. 2. AC power is set to 115V, 50/60 Hz in all units coming from the factory. If the required voltage is 230, the voltage selector switch on the power supply unit and the fuse need to be changed. A 230 volt fuse is included in the shipping packet. 3. If you have a hard disk drive, locate the bad track list label and record the cylinder and head information for future use. There is a label on the drive and also on the bottom of the main cabinet assembly. 4. On the Multi-Function I/O Board, verify that the Video Mode Selection switches are set to match the type of monitor you have. Refer to Figure 3-1 below for the switch locations and to Table 3-1 below for the switch settings. (refer to Hardware Announcement 23 for picture) FIGURE 3-1.

VIDEO CONFIGURATION SWITCH SETTINGS The VGA monitor may be installed on the MAI 1400 as an alternative to the monochrome and color monitor. The VGA monitor is a 14" color, IBM PS/2 compatible, high-resolution monitor offering superior color graphics capability. Because the VGA monitor requires its own separate controller, the monitor functionality on the Multi-function I/O board will need to be CPU-BASIC FOUR-4119,MAI 1200,MAI 1400---------------FIB022 Pg005 disabled to prevent a contention problem between the two monitor ports. VGA Switch and Jumper Settings (Located on the VGA controller) Switch Settings 1 2 3 4 Off Off Off Off Jumpers W1 1-2 NOTE: Jumper E201 on the Multi-function I/O board must be disconnected (open) for the VGA monitor to operate. NOTE: The remaining steps should be performed after re-installing the top cover. 5. Ensure that the factory-setting label is removed from the power inlet and that the system and monitor power cords are connected to the back of the main cabinet assembly. The AC cord should be plugged into the wall outlet (make sure the POWER switch on the front panel is OFF), and the monitor power cord should be plugged into the monitor. 6. Verify that the video cable is connected from the monitor to the video output connector on the back of the main cabinet assembly (with VGA, the monitor must be attached to the VGA monitor port of the VGA controller card. 7. Make sure the front panel keyboard lock is in the unlocked position (the key is in the shipping packet). 8. Verify that the keyboard cable is plugged into the keyboard connector located near the AC connectors on the back of the main cabinet assembly. 3.1.2 VERIFYING SYSTEM SET-UP Since the MAI 1400 is set up and tested at the factory, it should not be necessary to do this in the field. The following procedure is provided in order to verify the set-up for your customer: 1. Insert the SYSTEM UTILITIES, 3.5" diskette into the floppy drive and power on the system. If power is already applied, then do a 3-key reboot by holding down the 'Ctrl' and 'Alt' keys and pressing the 'Del' key. 2. Use the up and down arrows (on the separate 4-key cursor pad, not the numeric key pad) to choose "Check System Configuration" and press ENTER. 3. At the System Configuration Setup screen, verify that the configuration displayed agrees with your system. If it agrees, press F10 to exit Setup, and proceed to Step 4, below. If it disagrees, go to Section 3.1.3 of this document for instructions to use the System Configuration Setup utility to change the set ups. 4. Remove the SYSTEM UTILITIES diskette. CPU-BASIC FOUR-4119,MAI 1200,MAI 1400---------------FIB022 Pg006 5. Proceed to Section 4, Installation. NOTE: The SET-UP utility is also stored in firmware on the MAI 1400 80386 CPU board. This allows the modifications described in section 3.1.3 to be done without having to insert the SYSTEM UTILITIES diskette. If the SET-UP information is incorrect, the messages 'Invalid configuration - please run SET-UP program' and 'Strike the F1 key to continue, F2 to run the setup utility' appear. Press F2 and proceed to step 4 of section 3.1.3 to change entries. If the SET-UP information is correct but you want to verify or modify the information without using the SYSTEM UTILITIES diskette, you can access the firmware resident SET-UP by doing the following: 1. Hold down any 2 keys at boot time. The message 'Keyboard stuck key failure' is displayed followed by the 'Strike the F1 key to continue, F2 to run the setup utility' message. 2. Press F2. Proceed to step 4 of section 3.1.3. 3.1.3 CHANGING SYSTEM SET-UP To run SET-UP: 1. Insert the SYSTEM UTILITIES diskette into drive A and boot the MAI 1400. Alternately, you can hold down any two keys while booting (at power on or after doing a 3-key reboot by holding down the 'Ctrl' and 'Alt' keys and pressing the 'del' key), ignore the keyboard failure message and press F2. 2. Your system will show the following menu on the screen: ___________________________________________ SYSTEM UTILITY COPYRIGHT (C) MAI BASIC FOUR, 1988 Check System Configuration Setup System Configuration Checkout System Initialize Hard disk Prepare system for moving PRESS [ESC] TO EXIT PRESS [ENTER] TO SELECT REVERSED ENTRY ___________________________________________ 3.

Base Memory The Base Memory field should contain the amount of RAM installed on the CPU board. Check the documentation supplied with the MAI 1400 and type in the correct amount of memory, if necessary. You cannot use the arrow keys in this field; you must type in the correct amount. NOTE: The maximum base memory is 640Kb. For a 1Mb system, the base memory will be 640Kb. The additional memory is used for shadow BIOS and video. Press the Down Arrow key to continue the applications system configuration, or remove the System Utilities diskette (if it was used) and press to reboot the system. 2. Extended Memory Move the cursor to the Extended Memory field and type in the correct amount of expansion RAM. If there is 1Mb or less of total system memory, type 0. If there is over 1Mb, subtract 1Mb from the total system memory (the amount on the CPU plus any in an add-in I/O slot not including the video controller memory) and enter the number in Kb where Kb = 1024 bytes. Example: 1Mb on the CPU + 3Mb in the I/O slots = 4Mb, 4Mb - 1Mb = 3Mb, so enter 3072. 3. Press the Down Arrow key to continue the system configuration, or remove the System Utilities diskette (if it was used) and press to reboot the system. 3.1.3.5 DISPLAY ADAPTOR SET-UP allows you to configure the following types of display adaptor: o VGA/EGA o CGA40 o CGA80 o MONO o Not Installed NOTE: This entry is normally set to VGA/EGA (unless the standard Multi I/O board is removed). 1. Move to the Display field and select the correct option. o If your system is configured with the standard Multi-I/O card, you should select the VGA/EGA option. o The Not Installed option suppresses configuration error messages during startup if your system doesn't have a monitor. CPU-BASIC FOUR-4119,MAI 1200,MAI 1400---------------FIB022 Pg011 o If you select Not Installed and your system does have a monitor, the monitor will still operate. 2. Press the Down Arrow key to continue the system configuration, or remove the System Utilities diskette (if it was used) and press to reboot the system. 3.1.3.6 KEYBOARD There are only two available options for the Keyboard field: Installed and Not Installed. Use the Not Installed option to configure a system without a keyboard (e.g., the system is used as a file server in a PC network). This option suppresses keyboard boot configuration error messages during system startup. If you do have a keyboard and select Not Installed, the keyboard will still operate properly. 3.1.3.7 CPU SPEED This field should contain the speed of the CPU at system start-up. Low speed (8 MHz) and High speed (16 MHz) are the CPU speed options: Use the Left and Right Arrow keys to select the proper option. Press the Down Arrow key to continue the system configuration,. or remove the System Utilities diskette (if it was used) and press to reboot the system. NOTE: While using the system, the CPU speed may be changed by holding down the 'Alt' and 'Ctrl' keys while pressing the up or down arrows (up=16Mhz, down=8Mhz). 3.1.3.8 MATH CO-PROCESSOR The Co-Processor field is a display-only field. If the system is equipped with a third-party supplied math co-processor, the field will display Installed, otherwise, the field will display Not Installed. NOTE: The options listed below in 3.1.3.9 thru 3.1.3.12 are selected by pressing at the Setup menu screen. 3.1.3.9 SHADOW RAMS These fields allow you to either enable or disable Shadow BIOS and Video ROM settings for the MAI 1400. By enabling these functions, 640Kb of the first 1MB of RAM will be allocated to MS-DOS. The ROM BIOs and Video ROM instructions will be downloaded into main memory and typically significantly improves performance. NOTE: Both Shadow BIOS ROM and Shadow Video ROM should be enabled if a VGA controller isn't present on the system. If a VGA controller is present, enable Shadow BIOS ROM and disable Shadow Video ROM. 3.1.3.10 SHADOW 16K AT C400 THRU SHADOW 16K AT EC000 CPU-BASIC FOUR-4119,MAI 1200,MAI 1400---------------FIB022 Pg012 This copies option ROMs into 32bit RAM during the system boot process. These fields are normally disabled. 3.1.3.11 MEMORY WAIT STATES This sets the number of main memory wait states for your system and should be set to 0. 3.1.3.12 RAS PRECHARGE Set the RAS precharge time for main memory to 3 CLK2 (normal setting). Press the Down Arrow key to continue the system configuration, or press to reboot the system. 3.2 HARDWARE CONFIGURATIONS Hardware installation and configuration is covered in detail in the MAI 1400 Service Manual, Chapter 2.

WARNINGS: The memory SIPs must be installed in groups of four. The memory bank numbering on the 80386 CPU board is opposite to the memory bank numbering on the 80286 CPU board. On the 386, Memory Bank 0 is the outer 4 SIP (Single In-Line Package) memory slots and Memory Bank 1 is the inner 4 SIP memory slots. On the 80286, Memory Bank 0 is the inner 2 SIP memory slots and Memory Bank 1 is the outer 2 SIP slots. The memory SIPs on the 386 CPU board are entered facing the opposite direction as the SIPs on the 286 CPU board. The ODD and EVEN ROM BIOS firmware are installed in the reverse locations as compared to the 286 CPU board. Both the 256Kb 1Mb SIPs on the 386 operate at 100ns. On the 80286 CPU board, the 1MB SIPs operate at 100ns and the 256Kb SIPs operate at 120ns. Therefore, the 256Kb SIPs are NOT interchangeable. Memory Configuration Option Settings The memory on the 80386 board is auto-sized at system startup. No longer is it necessary for a service engineer to configure the CPU board (by setting jumpers) for the amount of physical memory on the system. Firmware on the 80386 CPU board now detects how much memory is present, and runs memory self-tests on that memory when the system is powered ON. The proper Base Memory and Extended Memory parameters MUST be entered under SET-UP (see section 3.1.3) that correspond to the amount of physical memory on the system. 3.2.3 DISK CONTROLLER BOARD OPTION SETTINGS A new disk controller has been certified and is being used as an alternative source for the Winchester and floppy disk controller on the MAI 1200/1400/1500/1800 systems. The new controller is functionally equivalent to the old controller and has a new MBF part number 400632-003. The new controller has a manufacturer part number WD-1003V-MM2.

Verify that the hard disk drive is operable by typing: C: and press . The C: prompt will appear. A 40Mb disk drive contains two partitions since MS-DOS only allows a maximum partition size of 32Mb. Therefore, the 40Mb drive will contain logical drives C and D. If you have a 40Mb hard disk, also verify the second logical drive by typing: D: and press . The D: prompt will appear. 6. To test the parallel printer connection, make sure the printer CPU-BASIC FOUR-4119,MAI 1200,MAI 1400---------------FIB022 Pg021 is powered on and on-line and then press the key. This instructs the system to print what's displayed on the monitor. This completes the installation check-out procedure. If you encountered any problems during this installation, please refer to Section 6, Troubleshooting, of the MAI 1400 User Guide. 4.1 BOOTING FROM THE HARD DISK DRIVE The system files are on the MS-DOS 3.3 floppy diskette supplied with your system. To boot your system from the hard disk drive, you must perform the following two step procedure to copy those files from the floppy diskette to your hard disk drive, after inserting the MS-DOS 3.3 diskette into drive A. 1. From the A: prompt, type: SYS C: and press This command is used to copy special system information from the floppy disk drive to your hard disk drive. 2. Next, use the MS-DOS COPY command to copy the system files. Type: COPY *.* C: Once the files are copied, you no longer need to use the floppy disk to boot your system. Store the diskette in a safe place, and keep it as a back-up copy. 5.0 UPGRADES AND OPTIONS Since many upgrades and options are available for AT type computers, it is not possible to cover them all in this document. So, this section is limited to memory upgrades and add on printers.. 5.1 MEMORY UPGRADE CHECKLIST The procedure below provides the steps, in checklist format, to install additional memory on the CPU board. NOTE: This procedure should be performed by qualified service personnel using the replacement procedures in the Service Manual for the various assemblies. Remember to follow all anti-static handling procedures when servicing electronic equipment. 1. Power down the system. 2. Remove the cabinet assembly cover. 3. Remove the 3.5" hard disk drive. 4. Remove the 3.5" floppy drive. 5. Remove the 5.25" floppy drive, if installed. CPU-BASIC FOUR-4119,MAI 1200,MAI 1400---------------FIB022 Pg022 6. Remove the CPU board (3 mounting screws, 3 connectors). 7. Install the memory upgrade. There are no jumpers to set since the MAI 1400 memory is auto-configurable. BE VERY CAREFUL TO NOTE ORIENTATION AND ORDER OF INSERTION. INCORRECT (REVERSED) INSERTION WILL PERMANENTLY DAMAGE THE MEMORY. 8. Replace the CPU board and reinstall the connectors. 9. Replace the floppy drive(s). 10. Replace the hard disk drive. 11. Replace the cabinet assembly cover. 12. Power up the system. 13. Run SETUP to set the new memory configuration. The following chart shows a map of the memory use in the MAI 1400. In general, the memory area above 640Kb is used for graphics display buffering, EGA BIOS, and system BIOS.

CPU-BASIC FOUR-4119,MAI 1200,MAI 1400---------------FIB022 Pg023 Both the 256Kb and 1Mb SIPs operate at 100ns. 5.2 PRINTER ADD-ONS "Industry Standard" PC-compatible parallel and serial printers are. supported on the MAI 1400. It is physically possible to have one parallel and two serial printers connected to the system, although only one printer at a time can be printing. The parallel printer is called either "LPT1" or "PRN." The serial printers can be either "COM1" or "COM2." Use the MODE command (see MS-DOS manual for complete details) to set up the operational modes for the serial printer(s) on the system. For example, you can use the MODE command to configure either of the COM ports for baud rate and protocol. At the "C>" prompt, enter: T S MODE COM1:2400,O,7,1 (COM1 is set to 2400 baud, Y A odd parity, 7-bits, and 1 P M stop bit for PT-4217/4218) I P C L MODE COM2:1200,O,7,1 (COM2 is set to 1200 baud, A E odd parity, 7-bits, and 1 L S stop bit for PT-4216) The following chart shows the MBF certified printers for the MAI 1400 along with the "factory set baud rates" of the serial versions. All printers shown are capable of running as parallel also. Some printers are supplied with both interfaces built in. For other printers, you must select the interface type at time of purchase. Factory Set Factory Set Model # Description Baud Rate Protocols ------- ----------------------- ----------- ----------- PT-4215 High Resolution, Matrix 9600 7-odd-1 XON/XOFF PT-4216 Letter Quality 1200 7-odd-1 XON/XOFF PT-4217 80 Column Workstation 2400 7-odd-1 XON/XOFF PT-4218 136 Column Workstation 2400 7-odd-1 XON/XOFF PT-4222 400 cps Matrix 9600 7-odd-1 XON/XOFF PT-4223 Laser 9600 7-odd-1 XON/XOFF NOTE: MS-DOS does NOT support XON/XOFF. Therefore, serial printers must be re-configured for DTR protocol. Refer to your printer manual for instructions on changing protocol. Also, you can use the MODE command to direct the "LPT1" output (which is the typical default printer output port in most applications) to either "COM1" or "COM2." This would allow you to use a serial printer as the standard output device instead of the typical parallel printer. At the "C>" prompt, enter: MODE LPT1:=COM1 (LPT1 output goes to COM1) or CPU-BASIC FOUR-4119,MAI 1200,MAI 1400---------------FIB022 Pg024 MODE LPT1:=COM2 (LPT1 output goes to COM2) It is handy to have the MODEs set automatically whenever the system is booted. This is accomplished by including the appropriate MODE commands in an "AUTOEXEC.BAT" file. Please refer to the MS-DOS manual for information about creating and using this function. 5.3 OPTION INSTALLATION CHECKLIST Anytime internal settings or assemblies are reconfigured, the following items should be checked before replacing the cover on the main cabinet assembly: o Record any information required for modifying SETUP o Verify that any options moved or added are installed firmly in place o Verify that all mounting screws are screwed down tightly o Verify that all of the cables and wires connecting the option are firmly in place o Assure that all internal option switches are set correctly for the new option o Verify that all cables and wires are tucked down out of the way so that the cover can slide on easily o Remove all loose screws and extraneous objects from inside the computer 6.0 POWER REQUIREMENTS Line Voltages: 115 VAC nominal (SW selectable) 230 VAC nominal Line Frequency: 47 Hz to 60 Hz AC Input Current: 4A (Max) for 115 VAC 2.5A (Max) for 230 VAC Inrush Current: 40A (Max) Power Dissipation: 134W Line Cord Specs: 115 VAC Line Cord - 18AWG SVT NEMA 5-15P/CE22V 230 VAC Line Cord - .75mm, CEE7/VII/ CEE22 7.0 GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS SYSTEM o Physical: Size: Main Cabinet Assy.

When running software that requires an 80387 math co-processor or other applications such as CAD/CAM: o If problems are experienced with software when the 80387 is installed, verify with the software vendor that the software is known to be stable on 80386 systems and that the software is known to be stable whan an 80387 is installed. The above information also applies to systems that don't have an 80387 chip installed but the software is written to try to use the 80387 and gets incorrect results because the 80387 is not installed. 5. If your system has a VGA controller/monitor: o The VGA utilities should be copied from the VGA utilities diskette to the hard disk. o 800x600 mode is NOT supported. Do NOT attempt to use 800x600 mode. o The VGA controller comes up into VGA color mode at system time. However, many programs will not run correctly unless they specifically support VGA modes. If you experience problems with certain applications, add the command 'VGA' to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file and set the VGA monitor into CGA locked mode (see VGA Card Software Manual for detailed information). ORIGINATOR: Chuck Zimmerman/N. Jones CPU-BASIC FOUR-4119,MAI 1200,MAI 1400---------------FIB022 Pg033 FIB 00023 11/22/89 *** Slow Running due to Disk Errors on MAI 1200 [ WPSF 577 ] *** There are a few MAI 1200 systems that have excessive disk errors and as a result run very slowly. This can be tested by running the system at both high and low speed with alot of disk activity. If the problem is present, the system will run at least twice as fast at the lower CPU speed. The problem appears to be on read operations. It is solved by installing the latest BIOS on the CPU card that supports the VGA monitor and the 40 MB disk drive. It is recommended that data already on the disk should be backed up prior to the re- placement of the BIOS and viewed with caution after the replace- ment of the BIOS. The MBF part number for the VGA firmware upgrade is 400728-107 and can be ordered under the market code KE189AA.

FIX: Select option 1, "USER ENTERS ALL BAD TRACKS". Because these tracks were not preformated on a 1200 system, they do not have a "bad track table" that the system can read. Once option 1 is performed, all future formats using option 2 will work.

The package, Windsor PC Technician, is an expendable tool that is available through regular procurement channels. Part Number: 400750-003 MM Number: MM570282 The service level diagnostics package for the 80286 based systems (1500 and 1800) configured with a 5.25" floppy drive is the Supersoft service diagnostics. Part Number: 400750-002 MM Number: MM570281 The following is a list of the known problems and cautions to be aware of when running the Supersoft package (excerpts from Field Bulletin 500-1): 1) When running any printer test on the PT-4217 or PT-4218 printers, the baud rate should be set no higher than 1200 baud. Greater than 1200 baud may cause hangs or data loss. 2) Formatting doesn't work under floppy disk test. The media should be formatted under MS-DOS prior to running this test or errors will occur. 3) When using the supplied Digital Alignment diskette, the Head Positioner Linearity test will fail more than 80% of the time. Disregard this error or don't run the test. Complete instructions for running the tests are provided with the diagnostics.

Cleaning and simple repair should be attempted on ALL keyboards at the field level. This covers both "switch-type" keyboards, as well as "membrane-type". Keyboards should be repaired on-site, and where this is not possible, brought back to the office or stocking location and cleaned/repaired there. In general, the keyboards can be repaired by disassembling them, blowing-out or brushing off dust and debris, cleaning the PCBA using a foaming-type window cleaner (like aerosol Windex), brightening contact points by rubbing them with an eraser (Pink Pearl), and replacing any worn-out springs or pads Even the newer-style membrane keyboards (such as the DT4315, PSx30, etc.) usually fail because of dust or liquid contamination between the membrane layers preventing a key from making contact. Disassembling these keyboards is equally easy and the membranes can be cleaned by wiping them with a soft cloth dampened with window cleaner. 2. Several hundred keyboard repair kits were distributed throughout the field in the past. Replacement parts for these kits can be ordered through Tustin, part numbers are as follows: Parts for 7270, 4309, and 4312 keyboards. Spring, Spacebar YY013799 Spring, Print Key, Clear, Escape YY012913 Spring, All Others YY012914 Pad (foam/foil for each key) YY006594 Screws (hold PCBA to Keyboard) YY019809 3. After cleaning the keyboard and attempting simple repair, if the keyboard is still not working properly, return it to Tustin using the normal return process. 4. MM810041 (Grey 4312 keyboard) and MM810036 (Putty 4312 keyboard) are alternates for each other and should be treated as such. If you need the opposite color, take the time to switch the keycaps and enclosure rather than ordering another keyboard. (Estimated time of about 10 minutes to switch everything). 5. Effective February 1, 1991, the field will not be able to Code A the 4309 and 4312 keyboards from Tustin (P/N MM783020, MM810036, MM810041).
