The 486v can support an Intel 25Mhz 486SX, 33MHz 486 DX, 5OMHz 486DX2, 5OMHz 486DX, or a 66MHz 486DX2 central processor for maximum performance. It has the Advanced AMI BIOS for a broad range of configurations without the necessity of jumpers on the motherboard. The 486v comes standard with a tower cabinet, 250 watt power supply (switch setting for 110 or 220v), a 5 1/4" 1.2MB or 3 1/2" 1.44MB floppy disk drive, IDE floppy controller, two serial ports, one parallel port, one game port, and a super VGA controller. The 486v is IBM PC compatible and runs a wealth of software such as MS-DOS 5.0, Windows 3.1, SCO UNIX, SCO XENIX, THEOS, and many more operating system. 1.2. Cabinet CAUTION DO NOT OPEN CABINET UNLESS OUTSIDE POWER CORD IS DETACHED FROM COMPUTER POWER SUPPLY To open the cabinet remove the plastic base from the bottom held in place by four screws under the cabinet. Then remove the six screws in the rear of the cabinet along the edges. Remove the cabinet cover by pulling the bottom rear end of the cover back and up. This will disengage the front interleaf part of the cover from the front bezel. The cover may then be lifted completely up and back away from the cabinet. The front panel may be removed by removing the single recessed screw from the top of the cabinet. This allows the top part of the bezel to be rotated away from the cabinet and the bottom of the bezel to be lifted from the cabinet. Take care in that many wires from the front display may still be attached inside the cabinet. The cabinet for the 486i will accommodate three 5 1/4" drives and three 3 12" drives. It has a 260 watt UL approved power supply, switch selectable for 110 or 220 volts. The power supply has six cables. Two are to power the motherboard. Three are for hard disks or 5 l/4" floppy drives, and one cable is for a 3 1/2" floppy drive. There is an oPtional base included that may be attached to provide stability for the cabinet. If you do not desire to use the optional base there are four rubber "bumper" feet that may be attached to the four CPU-IBC-INTEGRATED BUSINESS COMPUTERS---------------FIB001 Pg001 corners of the base of the cabinet. This option does save space, but the cabinet may be more likely to fall over. If the cabinet were to fall over the hard disks inside may be damaged. The drive bay for the 3 1/2" drives may be removed for easier access to the motherboard and to make it easier to install and remove 3 12" drives. Remove the screw on the upper side of this bay and slide the bay to the rear of the cabinet for about an inch. This allows this bay to slide off its attaching tabs to the 5 14" drive bay. At this point the 3 12" drive bay can be removed completely from the cabinet. Make sure you do not drop it which could damage any drives in the bay. The main round button is for power on/off. There are LED lights to display the clock speed of the main CPU while in turbo mode. If the system is not in turbo mode the CPU will run at approximately 8MHz. the LED digital display is programmed by a series of jumpers located behind this display inside the cabinet. A guide for jumper settings for the SF1-501 display is enclosed with the cabinet. Some of the most common displays are: Turbo node vertical Jumpers Set 66 jumper 2,3,6,7 50 jumper 6,8 33 jumper 3,4,7,8 25 jumper 7,2,4 There are also LED lights to show power and disk I/O. There is a keylock switch for security. When the switch is in the lock position the computer will not accept input from the keyboard. There is a "reset" button. Pressing this button will immediately reset the computer 1.3 Reset The system can be reset by either: 1. Pushng the reset button. 2. Entering simultaneously on the keyboard. In some circumstances under certain operatng systems the may not reset the system. If this is the case then the reset button must be pushed. 1.4 Turbo Mode The 486v runs at 50 or 33MHz with the DX CPU and 25MHz with the SX CPU. With the DX2 CPU the 486i runs at 25 or 33MHz external and 50 or 66MHz internal to the chip. Some software does not run propery at this speed and must be executed at l2MHz. Therefore, the turbo mode must be turned off. <+> sets the 486i in turbo mode <-> sets the 486i in non-turbo mode CPU-IBC-INTEGRATED BUSINESS COMPUTERS---------------FIB001 Pg002 Some operating systems will not recognize <+> or <-> to change the turbo mode. In this case it is probaby best to always run the system at the full 66MHz, 5OMHz, 33MHz or 25MHz. However,through the implementation of the turbo switch, the system can be forced into non-turbo mode. Note: If using a DX2 processor the non-turbo mode runs at 24MHz. 1.5 Keylock and Security There are two methods to provide security for the computer: a. Keylock By setting the keylock in the lock position the computer will not accept any input from the keyboard. This prevents anybody from doing anything via the main console while the system is operating, but it will allow other operations to take place that do not require input from the keyboard. b. Boot Password The AM1 BIOS allows for a password to be created that must be entered before the computer will even hy to boot. This is set in the Advanced CMOS setup option of the AM1 BIOS. The option used is "Password Checking option" ORIGINATOR: M.SHEHAN CPU-IBC-INTEGRATED BUSINESS COMPUTERS---------------FIB001 Pg003 FIB 00002 MAI COMPANY CONFIDENTIAL 06/15/93 *** VESA MOTHERBOARD *** CHAPTER 486vMotherboard 2.1 BIOS Setu The 486v has the most advanced AMI BIOS.

The AMI BIOS of the AV4 motherboard has 46 preset values for various hard disk drives. However, it is usually best to choose type 47 which allows you to set custom values for the following Disk Model________________ Drive C: Drive D Cyln________ Cyln_______ Head________ Head_______ WP com________ WP Com_______ L Zone________ L Zone_______ Sec________ Sec_______ Ypu May wish to "pencil in" the vaJues for your hard disk in this manual for future reference The AMI BIOS allonws setting for two hard disk drives. The first would be drive C: and the second (or slave) would be drive D Todays IDE drives are intelligent and it does not matter what values are set for WP Com and L Zone. Usually the WP Com is set at 0 and the L Zone is set equal to the value for Cyln Included with your documentation are tbe suggested setting for a nunber of hard disk drives avaiable today. If your hard disk is not on this list the hard disk should have documentation showing the correct settings for Cyln Head Sec. Cabling The cable from the IDE controller has three connections One connector is for the controller and the other two are for the hard disks. It is important that the cables are not reversed and that pin 1 of the controller is connected to pin one of the hard disk drives. Pins 1 and 2 are labeled on the IDE controller. The ribbon connector has a red stripe on one edge. Make sure this edge is always on the side of pin 1 Hard Disk Drive Selection For two hard disk systens one drive must be the master and the other must be the slave. These are referred to as drives C and D on the AMI BIOS. (See page 59 on 486v Motherboard Users Guide) The master drive should be jumpered as "master only" if it is the only hard disk or as "master with slave present" in two hard disk systems. The slave drive should be jumpered as the slave drive These jumpers vary from drive to drive. Documentation is enclosed showing how to jumper each model ORIGINATOR: M. SHEHAN CPU-IBC-INTEGRATED BUSINESS COMPUTERS---------------FIB005 Pg001 FIB 00006 MAI COMPANY CONFIDENTIAL 06/15/93 *** VESA FLOPPY DISK DRIVES *** CHAPTER 6 Floppy Disk Drives The floppy contoller can accommodate two floppy disk drives. If system comes with both 5 1/4" floppy drive, and a 3 1/2" floppy drive, the 3 1/2" drive would be drive B on the AMI BIOS (See page 68 of 486v Motherboard Users Guide). Use the AMI BIOS to select drive A to be a 5 1/4" 1.2MB floppy and drive B to be a 3 1/2" 1.44MB floppy Cabling The floppy cable has a female connector at an end to be attached to the floppy contoller. Make sure the red edge of the cable is on the side of pins 1,2. The card edge connectors on the other end are for 5 1/4" floppies and the smaller female connectors are for 3 1/2" floppies. The card edge connetors are "Keyed" and cannot be plugged in wrong. The female connectors are not Keyed and it is possiMe to connect them wrong. Therefore, make sure the red edge of the cable the same side as pins 1,2 of the floppy. Note that the inside of the cable is twisted between the first and second set of connectors. This eliminates the necessity of jumpering the floppies to select one as drive A and the other as drive B. The drive furthest from the controller will be drive A and the drive in the middle set of connectors will be drive B. ORIGINATOR: M.

But one doesn't sacrifice performance for capability EISA AD as both EISA and ISA bus type cards are supported fully in the 486e EISA AD. full 256MB of SIMM memory is supported as well as either 246KB or 1MB cache memory depending upon configuration. Processor The 486e EISA AD supports Intel 486 model processors. Depending upon configuration. The system will contain one of the following: 486SX-25, 486DX-33, 486DX-50, 486DX2-50 or a 486DX2-66. SIMM (Memory Modules) The 486e EISA AD supports 4 banks of 4 SIMMs each. SIMMs are available in lMB, 4MB and l6MB capacities and must be purchased and installed by the bank. (4 at a time) Cabinet The 486e EISA AD is available with different cabinet styles to accomodate everyone from power-statioin users to executive server requirements. The EISA AD 'standard' tower contains a 250 watt power supply and can support up to 6, 5.25" disk units and 2, 3.5" disk units. The AD EISA AD 'Super Tower' contains a 300 watt power supply and can support up to 8 internal and 4 accessable 5.25" peripherals. SCSI Controller The 486e EISA AD contains an Enhanced Industry Standard SCSI EISA controller for all the mass storage peripheral requirements. Hard Disks The EISA AD is offered with a selecton of SCSI hard disk drives. Supported drives are 283MB, 480MB, 1.2GB and 2.5GB hard disks at the time of this writing. Tape Drives The EISA AD supports a selection of optional SCSI cartridge tape drives including 6oMB, 525MB, and 1000MB cartridge capacity. Magnito/Optical Drive The EISA AD supports an optional MO drive that comes with one 594MB disk cartridge included. Monitor/VGA Controller The 486e EISA AD is available with various monitor types. Monitor options are monochrom/VGA or interlaced super VGA 1024x768 bit CPU-IBC-INTEGRATED BUSINESS COMPUTERS---------------FIB009 Pg001 resolution at .28mm pitch, or a non-interlaced Super VGA 1024x768 bit resolution at .28mm pitch with a high speed true color card (16.7Million colors) super VGA ISA controller with 1MB RAM on board as standard equipment. Network Controller The EISA AD supports an optional 32bit, dual channel EISA network card which has two BNC connectors (thln net) and one Ethernet connector (thick net) for supporting either two Thin-net networks, or one Thin-net and one Thick-net networks. System Startup Attach all peripheral cables to the system (mouse, monitor...) before connecting the AC power cord into an electrical outlet. If your system has been shipped overseas, it should be carefully examined (internally as well as externally) before applying power. System Set-up 1 Verify the voltage has been set properly for your area's line voltage. Note: Your 486e system has a switch on the back panel to select the required line voltage. The monitor can auto select line voltages and switching is not necessary. Make sure the system and monitor are unplugged from electrical outlets before changing the voltage selector switch. 2 Plug the system and monitor into proper AC power receptacles. 3 Switch power on, on the monitor. Verify the power LED indicator is lit. The monitor will require about 25 seconds to warm up. 4 Switch power on, on the 486e system and verify the power LED indicator is lit and the fans are spinning up. Boot Sequence The following is a general guideline on how the system responds to a power-up or hard reset. A software reset is similar except the memory test is onitted from the power-on sequence. 1 You should see a display after about seven seconsds on the monitor display describing the VGA BIOS version. 2 After a few seconds the system should display the DRAM memory check. This is where a keystroke will enter CMOS setup. This will last a few seconds depending on the ammount of memory installed in your system. 3 Next you will see an acknowledgment of the BusLogic SCSI Bus controller BIOS. Immediately following this display is where the BusLogic controller tests for individual drives on the SCSI bus which are then acknowledged and listed on the display by SCSI ID with the device name. 4 Next you will see a display by the AMI BIOS of the Standard CMOS parameters as defined on the system. Remember, the BusLogic SCSI Controller must have the CMOS designations for drives C:and D: set to not installed for SCSl drives. 5 Your operating system will attempt to boot. Boot Password The AMI BIOS aqllows for a password to be created that must be entered before the computer will even try to boot. This is set in the CPU-IBC-INTEGRATED BUSINESS COMPUTERS---------------FIB009 Pg002 advanced CMOS setup option of the AMI BIOS. The option used is "Password Checking Option". CMOS Reset (password erase) JP25: JP25 on the MotherBoard is used to "discharge" the information stored in CMOS, i.e. BIOS setup. After "discharging" back to the default settng the BIOS must be re configured to be used again. This procedure is normally reserved if incorrect values were entered that cause the system to "hang up" without allowing you to get into the BIOS. It is also used if the password for booting or entry into BIOS has been forgotten. ORIGINATOR: M.

It allows the user to set the configuration of EISA add-on boards which are saved in CMOS RAM. The EISA configuration data file describes the system board characteristics and contains the setup information for your keyboard and memory configuration. Your EISA AD is shipped with the EISA Configuration utility already setup for your systen"s configuration, and loaded into CMOS. All EISA BusMaster boards *.CFG files have been copied into the ECU diskette by using the DOS operating system. By running the CFG.EXE from a DOS prompt, you will be able to configure additional add-on cards if reqlured. The following steps illustrate the use of the CFG.EXE. CFG.EXE Procedure 1. At a DOS prompt (either A: or B:)insert your ECU diskette and enter 'CFG'. 2. When the ECU menu is displayed, select 'Configure'. 3. A driver menu will appear select 'Configure'. 4.

It has a 250 watt UL approved power supply, switch selectable for 110 or 220 volts. The power supply has seven power connectors. Two are to power the MotherBoard, four are for hard disks or other 5 1/4" peripherals, and one cable is for both 5 1/4" and 3 1/2" floppy drives. Front Panel The main round button is for power on/off. There is a digital display to display the clock speed of the main CPU while in turbo mode as well as a turbo LED indicator. If the system is not in turbo mode the CPU will run at approximately 8MHz. The LED digital display is programmed by a series of jumpers located behind this display inside the cabinet. A guide for jumper settings for the SFI-501 display is enclosed with the cabinet. Common Display Definitions: Display Jumper Setting 66 jumper 2,3,6,7 50 jumper 6,8 33 jumper 3,4,7,8 25 jumper 7,2,4 There are also LED indicators to show power and SCSI bus I/O. There is a key lock switch for security. When the switch is in the lock position the computer will not accept input from the keyboard. The front panel also contains a "reset" button. Pressing this button will execute an immediate "hard reset" of the computer and will abruptly halt all running software including all applications. Be sure to have all data and work saved and your software brought down to a safe level (See Operating System documentation) before pressing the reset button or data loss will occur. Some operating systems allow for a "Soft Reset" by pressing the keys, simultaneously while some operating systems require specific commands to shutdown a system before a reset can be performed. Turbo Mode The 486e runs at 50 or 33Mhz with the DX CPU and 25Mhz with the SX CPU. With the DX2 CPU the 486e runs at 25 or 33Mhz external and 50 or 66Mhz internal to the chip. Some software does not run properly at these high speeds and requires that turbo mode be turned off. sets the 486e in turbo mode sets the 486e in non-turbo Mode Some operating systems wi11 not recognize <+> or <-> to change the turbo mode. In this case it is probably best to always run the system at the full 66Mhz, 50Mhz, 33Mhz or 25Mhz. However, through the implementation of the turbo switch, the system can be forced into turbo or into non turbo mode as required. The 486e EISA AD MotherBoard allows one to set turbo mode permanently on or off depending on whether a jumper on JPl7 is installed or removed respectively. CPU-IBC-INTEGRATED BUSINESS COMPUTERS---------------FIB013 Pg001 NOTE: If using a DX2 processor the non-turbo mode runs at 24Mhz. Key Lock and Security By setting the key in the lock position the computer will not accept any input from the keyboard. This prevents anybody from doing anything via the main console while the system is operating, but it will allow other operations to take place that do not require input from the keyboard. BACK PANEL The Super Power Back panel is configured in the following manner: The top of the back panel contains one of the 3 fans found in the Super Power cabinet. Continuing we see the AC connectors and power switch. Locate the keyboard connector at this time ( the round connector cutout about 1/2 way down the back of the cabinet). Just below the keyboard connector are the external EISA card slot ports beginning with slot #1. The following diagram highlights the general configuration of the Super Tower back panel.

Opening The Standard Cabinet This procedure is limited to qualified electronic technicians only. If you are not a qualified electronic technicion, DO NOT ATTEMPT INTERNAL REPAIRS TO THIS SYSTEM as damage to oneself and to the system may result. 1. Be sure to REMOVE ALL CABLES from the back of the system. 2. Pry the plastic facia from the back of the system and set this aside. 3. Remove the six phillips head screws found around the perimeter of the back of the system. 4. Lift the cabinet shroud up at the back and slide shroud out from lip around the front facia. To install, reverse the above steps. Super Tower Cabinet The cabinet for the 486e will accomodate ten 5 1/4" drives with six hidden. It has a 375 watt UL approved power supply, switch selectable for 110 or 220 volts. The power supply has seven power connectors. Two are to power the MotherBoard, four are for hard disks or other 5 1/4" peripherals, and one cable is for both 5 1/4" and 3 1/2" floppy drives. The power switch is located on the system back panel. Front Panel The smoke tinted access panel houses the media removable CPU-IBC-INTEGRATED BUSINESS COMPUTERS---------------FIB013 Pg002 peripherals such as floppies, tapes, CD-ROMS or Magnito-optical drives. Gently depress the panel near the center of the inside edge to open. Adjacent to inside edge of the access panel there is a column of LED indicators. Starting at the top, the first LED indicates power on/off. The second indicates SCSI bus activity for SCSI controller number 1. The third indicator represents SCSI bus activity for controller nunber 2 if installed. Indicators 4 and 5 are left unused and may be used for custom requirements. There is a key lock switch for security. When the switch is in the lock position the computer will not accept input from the keyboard. The front panel of the SUPER TOWER cabinet doesn't contain a "hard reset" switch. This is to protect the server from capricious or negligent behavior. To reset the SUPER TOWER system, execute the appropriate shutdown commands as defined for the operating system or enter a "soft reset" by hitting the keys simultaneously. Turbo Mode The SUPER TOWER cabinet doesn't contain a "Turbo switch". This can be changed by a software switch from the console. Execute the following: sets the 486e in turbo mode sets the 486e in non-turbo mode Note: Some operating systems will not recognize <+> or <-> to change the turbo mode. In this case it is probably best to always run the system at the full 66Mhz, 50Mhz, 33Mhz or 25Mhz.

There are no switches on the D24 Bit Blaster required for user installation or setup. VIDEO DRIVERS The standard for VGA Display requlres no additional software. This provides for 640x480x16 colors. To use greater resolution or more colors, the software drivers provided on diskette should be loaded to the 486e computer for the appropriate graphics mode. Chapter 3 of the D24 Bit Blaster manual describes the available software for many different applications. WARNING: If you load custom Cirrus Logic software for the D24 Bit CPU-IBC-INTEGRATED BUSINESS COMPUTERS---------------FIB014 Pg001 Blaster you may not use any other VGA card. If you wish to change to another type of VGA card you must select standard VGA mode before switching VGA cards. If this is not done then the new VGA card will not be compatible with the installed VGA drivers. Monitors The 486e comes with three models of monitor. 1. Black and White TVGA 640x480 2. Super VGA 1024 x 768 (.28mm) interlaced 3. Super VGA 1024 x 768 (.28mm) non-interiaced Each of the above monitors are supplied with a video cable connection and an AC power connection. The monitor can be plugged into the back of the 486e for an integrated power on/off with the system or the monitor can be plugged directly into the AC power. The video for all monitors is to be plugged into the DB-15 VGA connector. Once the connections are made to the 486e, nothing else need be done for set-up except for turning the power on.

It provides a high performance interconnection between the EISA bus and Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) peripheral devices. It is designed for multitasking operating systems such as UNIX, XENIX, NetWare, and OS/2. UNIX and XENIX both contain built-in driver support for the BT- 742A. Software drivers for NetWare, OS/2, and DOS are also available as optional items. SCSI Interface Both asynchronous and synchronous operations can occur at data rates of up to 50Mbytes/sec using an advanced SCSI controller ASIC. This chip reduces protocol overhead by performing common SCSI algorithms or sequences in response to any single SCSI-2 host command. SCSI-2 interface specifications for termination power and fusing (with blown-fuse indication) are implimented. the board has both internal and external 50-pin connector for flexibility in attaching SCSI devices to the system. SCSI Device Termination SCSI devices are daisy chained together with a common cable. All SCSI devices operate on common signals, and both ends of the cable are terminated with hardware "terminators". Terminators, which can be connected to either SCSI devices or SCSI cables, are required to make data transfers on the SCSI bus reliable. The SCSI bus must have the correct number of terminators for proper operation and to prevent damage to the SCSI controller chip on the BT742A (multiple devices with terminators installed place unnecessary load on the SCSI bus). There can no more than two terminating devices in the chain of SCSI devices---one at each end of the physical chain. This means that, if more than two SCSI drives are connected to a SCSI daisy chain, the SCSI device(s) not at the end of the cable must have the terminator resistor packs removed. The BT-742A SCSI Controller will always contain termination for one end of the cable. The other end must be terminated by the last SCSI device in the daisy chain. Your system has been factory set for proper SCSI cable termination, however, the addition or removal of a SCSI peripheral may eliminate termination. As to which device contains SCSI termination, follow the SCSI device cable to the last SCSI device and this is where the terminating resistors will be installed. See the appropriate section in regards to specific peripherals. NEVER TERMINATE TWO SCSI PERIPHERALS SIMULTANEOUSLY. CPU-IBC-INTEGRATED BUSINESS COMPUTERS---------------FIB014 Pg005 Jumper Settings The BT-742A has a Jumper for floppy drive enable/disable.

This is because some peripherals fail when an attempt to test for synchronous capabilty is made by the host. This Disable mode allows the peripheral to set the transfer mode with the host. ** NOTE: Some older drives may attempt to run in FAST SCSI mode and not be capable of supporting FAST SCSI 10MB/sec transfer rates. Also, the BT-742A uses passive termination and can be susceptible to electronic noise on the SCSI cable at lOMB/sec.

Termination of the ST424OO The ST43400 uses 10 pin SIP terminators of 220/330 ohm. The dot on the SIP indicates pin 1. Pin 1 should align with the square etch hole in the pcb. Install termination if the drive is the drive is the last drive (single drive constitutes last drive) on the daisy chain cable. The jumper pad between the two termination plugs should by default be jumpered pin 1 to pin 2. The jumper is not required if termination is not installed. Floppy Disk Drives The floppy controller can accomodate two floppy disk drives. The system comes standard with a 5 1/4" floppy drive, but may have an optional 3 1/2" floppy drive. This 3 1/2" drive would be drive B on the AMI BIOS. Use the AMI BIOS to select drive A to be a 5 1/4" 1.2MB floppy and drive B to be a 3 1/2" 1.44MB floppy. Cabling The floppy cable has a female connector at an end to be attached to the floppy controller. Make sure the red edge of the cable is on the side of pins 1,2. The card edge connectors on the other end are for 5 1/4" floppies and the smaller female connectors are for 3 1/2" floppies. The card edge connectors are "Keyed" and cannot be plugged in wrong. The female connectors are not keyed and it is possible to connect them wrong. Therefore, make sure the red edge of the cable CPU-IBC-INTEGRATED BUSINESS COMPUTERS---------------FIB014 Pg009 is on the same side as pins 1,2 of the floppy. Note that the inside of the cable is twisted between the first and second set of connectors. This eliminates the necessity of jumpering the floppies to select one as drive A and the other as drive B. The drive furthest from the controller will be drive A and the drrve in the middle set of connectors will be drive B. TAPE DRIVES The following is a list of possible tape drives available with the 486e. These drive units are relatively similar in configuration with the capacity difference being governed primarily with tape cartridge type. 60MB 1/4" Tape Drive Model 3600 series 525MB 1/4" Tape Drive Model 3800 series 1000MB 1/4" Tape Drive Model 4100 series 2000MB 1/4" Tape Drive (coming soon) The maximum capacity in megabytes will vary depending on which model tape drive the system is configured with. Special attention must be taken to use the correct cartridge QIC specification for the system's tape drive. Below is a list of which cartridge types are supported by the different model tape drives.

This is the default configuration for the SCO UNIX or Open Desktop operating system. Enable/Disable Bus Parity Checking The Drive Parity Checking is enabled/disabled by means of a strap between the PAARI-pin and GND(Ground). This is factory configured to be left disabled. SCSI-bus Termination You may terminate the SCSI bus with SIP resistor network if required. These SIP sockets are located to the SCSI bus connector and accessed through the top of the drive. The drive must be removed from the system to remove/install the 8 pin terminating SIPs. Magneto-Optical Disk Drive (Optional) 1. INTRODUCTION The Sony SMO-E501 is an embedded SCSI, rewritable optical direct access mass storage device. Unlike conventional magnetic storage devices and due to the utilization of magneto-optical effects, this drive can access a vast ammount of information within a few seconds. The drive complies with the ISO/IEC DIS 10089 format (continuous composite) for l3Omm rewritable optical disk cartridges. This international standard specifies the characteristics of 130mm rewritable optical disk cartridges of the type providing for information to be written, read, and erased many times using magneto-optical effects. The SMO-E3501 utilizes, ISO/IEC DIS 10089 complying 5.25 inch (130mm) magneto-optical (MO) disk cartridges for a capacity of just under 600 Megabytes as implimented on the IBC XL computer. Information stored on MO disks can be retrieved for at least 10 years with no maintenance whatsoever. Since MO media are removable, the storage capicity of the SMO-E501 is virtually unlimited Removability allows not only for portability but security as well since each disk can be safely locked up. MO disks are pregrooved and formatted (IBC implementation calls for the 512 byte/sector cartridge), using a spiral track configuration. The SMO-E501 contains mechanical and optical components, analog circuitry for data separating, servo systems, digital circuitry for drive CPU-IBC-INTEGRATED BUSINESS COMPUTERS---------------FIB014 Pg011 control, formatting and interfacing, and interfacing circuitry for communication with other devices. Communications with a host system is performed via SCSI which complies with ANSI X3.131-1986 and the common command set (CCS) Rev. 4B. The SMO-E501 can be accessed by SCSI commands much as conventional magnetic disk drive. The use of new digital LSIs has resulted in a compact drive with a high degree of reliability. The inclusion of buffered memory allows the drive to achieve a high speed burst transfer rates through SCSI. Do not subject the drive or media to adverse environments; dirt and dust, direct sunlight, continuous vibration, and most importantly strong magnetic fields. Always eject the media before moving or transporting the SMO-E501. Cartridge Handling Never drop the cartridge or subject it to vibration. Do not open the shutter door and or touch the media surface inside the cartridge. Do not disassemble the cartridge. Precision adjustments will be compromised. Erase protection is provided in the form of a small tab (DATA PROTECT). To protect the disk, slide the tab in the direction of the arrow; to write on the disk, slide the tab in the opposite direction of the arrow. Moisture condensation caused by a sudden temperature change or high humidity may impair write/read capabilities. Keep cartridges in their cases. Keep cartridges away from heat sources, direct sunlight, excessive dust, and moisture. Front Panel Description BUSY Indicator Lights up when read, write, erase, or seek operations are performed. Do not eject the disk when this light is lit. EJECT button Press this button to eject any disk existing in the drive. You can also eject the disk using the software on the host computer. Please note that the disk will not be ejected in the event that the "lock cartridge" software command had been issued from the host system. EMERGENCY EJECT HOLE In the event the disk cannot be ejected the normal way, insert a paper clip, or other similar object in this hole to eject the disk. DISK INSERTION SLOT Insert disk cartridges into this slot. Rear Panel Description The SMO-E501 has a frame ground as well as three connectors; one for the power supply, an options jumper block, and a SCSI connector.

CPU-IBC-INTEGRATED BUSINESS COMPUTERS---------------FIB014 Pg013 2.7 SCSI ID jumpers The SCSI ID jumpers 8, 9, and 10 are as follows: SCSI 8 9 10 ID 0 OFF OFF OFF 1 OFF OFF ON 2 OFF ON OFF 3 OFF ON ON 4 ON OFF OFF 5 ON OFF ON 6 ON ON OFF 7 ON ON ON 2.8 SCSI Termination The SMO_E501 does not have internal termination capabilities. However, this drive can source terminator power in the event an external terminating network is used. This does not present a problem with 486e AD system as the normal configuration will always daisy-chain the SMO-E501 device before any hard disks in the system. Proper termination may be supplied by the standard hard disk drive that is the last drive on the daisy-chain.
