NOTATIONAL CONVENTIONS  
The notational guidelines used in this guide are described in the following subsections.  
1.5.1 VALUES  
Hexadecimal values are indicated by a numerical or alpha-numerical value followed by the letter  
“h.” Binary values are indicated by a value of ones and zeros followed by the letter “b.”  
Numerical values that have no succeeding letter can be assumed to be decimal unless otherwise  
stated.  
1.5.2 RANGES  
Ranges or limits for a parameter are shown using the following methods:  
Example A:  
Example B:  
Bits <7..4> = bits 7, 6, 5, and 4.  
IRQ3-7, 9 = IRQ signals 3 through 7, and IRQ signal 9  
1.5.3 REGISTER NOTATION AND USAGE  
This guide uses standard Intel naming conventions in discussing the microprocessor’s (CPU)  
internal registers. Registers that are accessed through programmable I/O using an indexing  
scheme are indicated using the following format:  
03C5.17h  
Index port  
Data port  
In the example above, register 03C5.17h is accessed by writing the index port value 17h to the  
index address (03C4h), followed by a write to or a read from port 03C5h.  
1.5.4 BIT NOTATION AND BYTE VALUES  
Bit designations are labeled between brackets (i.e., “bit <0 >”). Binary values are shown with the  
most significant bit (MSb) on the far left, least significant bit (LSb) at the far right. Byte values in  
hexadecimal are also shown with the MSB on the left, LSB on the right.

MECHANICAL DESIGN  
These systems are available in three form factors:  
Small Form Factor – a small-footprint desktop designed for environments where both  
performance and space are critical issues.  
Desktop – a low-profile ATX-type desktop that satisfies standard expandability needs.  
Configurable Minitower – an ATX-type unit providing the most expandability and being  
adaptable to desktop (horizontal) or floor-standing (vertical) placement.  
The following subsections describe the mechanical (physical) aspects of the Compaq Evo models.  
CAUTION: Voltages are present within the system unit whenever the unit is plugged  
into a live AC outlet, regardless of the system's “Power On” condition. Always  
disconnect the power cable from the power outlet and/or from the system unit  
before handling the system unit in any way.  
!
NOTE: The following information is intended primarily for identification purposes  
only. Before servicing these systems refer to the applicable Maintenance And

SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE  
The Compaq Evo and Workstation systems covered in this guide feature an architecture based on  
the Intel Pentium 4 processor and the Intel 845 chipset (Figure 2-9). These models use either  
PC133 or DDR (PC266) SDRAM for system memory, provide AGP 4X graphics support, and  
include PCI bus expansion capability.  
The Intel 845 chipset includes the 82845 MCH designed to support the Pentium 4 processor with  
an FSB speed of 400 MHz. The 82845 MCH also includes an SDRAM controller supporting up to  
three PC133 DIMMs or two DDR DIMMs, depending on model configuration.  
All systems feature AC’97-compatible audio subsystems and include a microphone input, a line  
input and headphone and/or line output. The Small Form Factor system features Compaq Premier  
Sound components while Desktop and Configurable Minitower systems provide a business audio  
solution.  
The 845 chipset also includes the 82801BA I/O Controller Hub (ICH2) that integrates two IDE  
controllers with ATA100 support, two USB interfaces, and a PCI bus controller. Also integrated  
into the 82801BA is an 82562 network interface controller. An SMC LPC47B367 Super I/O  
Controller provides serial, parallel, keyboard, mouse, and diskette drive interface functions.  
All models covered in this guide support ATA100-type hard drives. Select Compaq Workstation  
W4000 models feature a SCSI PCI adapter controlling a Wide Ultra3 SCSI hard drive.

Chapter 2 System Overview  
2.4.1 INTEL PENTIUM 4 PROCESSOR  
The models covered in this guide feature the Intel Pentium 4 processor. This processor is  
backward-compatible with software written for the Pentium III, Pentium II, Pentium MMX,  
Pentium Pro, Pentium, and x86 microprocessors. The processor architecture includes a floating-  
point unit, 32-KB first and 512-KB secondary caches, and enhanced performance for multimedia  
applications through the use of multimedia extension (MMX) instructions. Also included are  
streaming SIMD extensions (SSE and SSE2) for enhancing 3D graphics and speech processing  
performance. The Pentium 4 processor features Net-Burst Architecture that uses hyper-pipelined  
technology and a rapid-execution engine that runs at twice the processor's core speed.  
These systems employ an mPGA478B zero-insertion-force (ZIF) socket designed for mounting a  
“Flip-Chip” (FC-PGA2) processor package (Figure 2-10). Small form factor units use a passive  
heat sink held in place over the FC-PGA package with two retaining clips. Desktop and  
configurable minitower units use an active assembly (which integrates the heat sink and fan) that  
clips on to the processor socket over the FC-PGA package.

board. There are three types of passive heat sinks.  
NOTE: The two types of heat sinks are not interchangeable. Also, these systems support  
processors using the FC-PGA2 package only.

2.4.5 MASS STORAGE  
All models include a 3.5 inch 1.44-MB diskette drive installed as drive A. Most models also  
include a CD-ROM and either a 10-, 15-, or 20-GB hard drive. Standard hard drives feature Drive  
Protection System (DPS) support. All systems provide two (one primary, one secondary) PCI  
bus-mastering Enhanced IDE (EIDE) controllers integrated into the chipset. Each controller  
provides UATA/100 support for two drives for a total of four IDE devices, although the form  
factor will determine the actual number of drive spaces available.  
2.4.6 SERIAL AND PARALLEL INTERFACES  
All models include two serial ports and a parallel port accessible at the rear of the chassis. Each  
serial port is RS-232-C/16550-compatible and supports standard baud rates up to 115,200 as well  
as two high-speed baud rates of 230K and 460K, and utilize DB-9 connectors. The parallel  
interface is Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP1.9) and Enhanced Capability Port (ECP) compatible, and  
supports bi-directional data transfers through a DB-25 connector.  
2.4.7 UNIVERSAL SERIAL BUS INTERFACE  
All models feature a minimum of two Universal Serial Bus (USB) v1.1 ports that provide a  
12Mb/s interface for peripherals. The Compaq Evo desktop and configurable minitower models  
may be upgraded to include two additional USB ports on the front panel. All small form factor  
and Workstation models include front panel USB ports in the standard configuration. The USB  
provides hot plugging/unplugging (Plug ’n Play) functionality.  
2.4.8 NETWORK INTERFACE CONTROLLER  
All models feature a Network Interface Controller (NIC) integrated on the system board.  
Equivalent to the Intel 82562 10/100 NIC, the controller provides automatic selection of 10BASE-  
T or 100BASE-TX operation with a local area network and includes power-down, wake-up, and  
Alert-On-LAN features. An RJ-45 connector is provided on the rear panel.

PENTIUM 4 PROCESSOR  
These systems each feature an Intel Pentium 4 processor in a FC-PGA478 package mounted with  
a passive heat sink in a mPGA478B zero-insertion force socket. The mounting socket allows the  
processor to be easily changed for servicing and/or upgrading.  
3.2.1 PROCESSOR OVERVIEW  
The Intel Pentium 4 processor represents the latest generation of Intel’s IA32-class of processors.  
Featuring Intel’s NetBurstarchitecture, the Pentium 4 processor is designed for intensive  
multimedia and internet applications of today and the future while maintaining compatibility with  
software written for earlier (Pentium III, Pentium II, Pentium, Celeron, and x86) microprocessors.  
Key features of the Pentium 4 processor include:  
Hyper-Pipelined Technology – The main processing loop has twice the depth (20 stages) of  
the Pentium III allowing for increased processing frequencies.  
Execution Trace Cache – A new feature supporting the branch prediction mechanism, the  
trace cache stores translated sequences of branching micro-operations (µops) and is checked  
when suspected re-occurring branches are detected in the main processing loop. This feature  
allows instruction decoding to be removed from the main processing loop.  
Rapid Execution Engine – Arithmetic Logic Units (ALUs) run at twice (2x) processing  
frequency for higher throughput and reduced latency.  
256-KB Advanced transfer L2 cache – Using 32-byte-wide interface at processing speed, the  
L2 cache can provide 48 GB/s performance (3x over the Pentium III)  
Advanced dynamic execution – Using a larger (4K) branch target buffer and improved  
prediction algorithm, branch mis-predictions are reduced by an average of 33 % over the  
Pentium III.  
Enhanced Floating Point Processor - With 128-bit integer processing and deeper pipelining  
the Pentium 4’s FPU provides a 2x performance boost over the Pentium III.  
Additional Streaming SIMD extensions (SSE2) – In addition to the SSE support provided by  
previous Pentium processors, the Pentium 4 processor includes an additional 144 MMX  
instructions, further enhancing:  
Streaming video/audio processing  
Photo/video editing  
Speech recognition  
3D processing  
Encryption processing  
Quad-pumped Front Side Bus (FSB) – The FSB uses a 100-MHz clock for qualifying the  
buses’ control signals. However, address information is transferred using a 200-MHz strobe  
while data is transferred with a 400-MHz strobe, providing a maximum data transfer rate of  
3.2 GB/s. This is a boost of over three times that of a Pentium III with a 133-MHz FSB.

Figure 3–2. Pentium 4 Processor Internal Architecture  
The Pentium 4 increases processing speed with higher clock speeds made possible with hyper-  
pipelined technology that can handle significantly more instructions at a time. Since branch mis-  
predicts would result in serious performance hits with such a long pipeline, the Pentium 4 features  
a branch prediction mechanism improved with the addition of an execution trace cache and a  
refined prediction algorithm. The execution trace cache can store 12k micro-ops (decoded  
instructions dealing with branching sequences) that are checked when re-occurring branches are  
processed. Code that is not executed (bypassed) is no longer stored in the L1 cache as was the  
case in the Pentium III.  
The out-of-order core features Advanced Dynamic Execution, which provides a large window  
(126 instructions) for execution units to work with. A more accurate branch prediction algorithm,  
along with a larger (4-KB) branch target buffer that stores more details on branch history results  
in a 33% reduction in branch mis-predictions over the Pentium III.  
The L1 data cache features a low-latency design for minimum response to cache hits. The 256-KB  
advanced transfer L2 cache features a 256-bit (32-byte) interface operating at processing speed.  
The L2 cache of the 1.5 GHz Pentium 4 can therefore provide a transfer rate of 48 GB/s.  
The combined improvements of the Pentium 4’s CPU core the rapid execution engine’s ALUs to  
operate at twice the processing frequency to handle the steady stream of instructions.  
The front side bus (FSB) of the Pentium 4 uses a 100-MHz clock but provides bi- and quad-  
pumped transfers through the use of 200- and 400-MHz strobes. The Pentium 4 can transfer a  
complete 64-byte cache line in two 100-MHz bus cycles for a throughput rate of 3.2 GB/s.  
Address information is transferred at a 200-MHz rate.

Chapter 3 Processor/Memory Subsystem  
The Pentium 4 processor is software-compatible with Celeron, Pentium II, Pentium MMX,  
Pentium, and x86 processors, but will require the latest versions of operating system software to  
take advantage of the Streaming SIMD extensions (SSE2).  
3.2.2 PROCESSOR UPGRADING  
All units use mPGA478B ZIF mounting socket and ship with the Pentium 4 processor in a Flip-  
Chip (FC-PGA478) package installed with a passive heat sink. The FC-PGA478 package consists  
of the processor die mounted “upside down” on a PC board. This arrangement allows the heat  
sink to come in direct contact with the processor die. The heat sink and attachment clip are  
specially designed provide maximum heat transfer from the processor component.  
CAUTION: Attachment of the heat sink to the processor is critical on these systems.  
Improper attachment of the heat sink will likely result in a thermal condition.  
Although the system is designed to detect thermal conditions and automatically shut  
down, such a condition could still result in damage to the processor component. Refer to  
the applicable Maintenance and Service Guide for processor installation instructions.

MEMORY SUBSYSTEM  
These systems support one of two types of memory: single data rate (SDR) SDRAM or double  
data rate (DDR) SDRAM. The system board determines the type of memory supported:  
SDR SDRAM-based system board: Three 168-pin DIMM sockets that accept PC100 or  
PC133 (PC133 supplied) DIMMs.  
DDR SDRAM-based system board: Two 184-pin DIMM sockets that accept PC1600 or  
PC2100 (PC2100 supplied) DIMMs.  
NOTE: The two memory types are not interchangeable within a system. The system  
board determines memory type.  
NOTE: The SDR SDRAM "PCxxx" reference designates bus speed (i.e, a PC133  
DIMM is designed for 133 MHz operation). The DDR SDRAM "PCxxxx" reference  
designates bus bandwidth (i.e., a PC2100 DIMM can, operating at a 266-MHz effective  
speed, provide a throughput of 2100 MBps (8 bytes × 266 MHz)).  
These systems accept DIMMs with the following parameters:  
Unbuffered, compatible with SPD rev. 1.0  
32-, 64-, 128-, 256-, and 512-Mb memory technology  
Single or double-sided  
NOTE: Systems that support DDR SDRAM accept either ECC or non-ECC DIMMs,  
but not both.  
The SPD format supported by these systems complies with the JEDEC specification for 128-byte  
EEPROMs. This system also provides support for 256-byte EEPROMs to include additional  
Compaq-added features such as part number and serial number. The SPD format as supported in  
this system (SPD rev. 1) is shown in Table 3-3.  
The key SPD bytes that BIOS checks for compatibility are 2, 9, 10, 18, 23, 24, and 126. If BIOS  
detects EDO or ECC DIMMs a “memory incompatible” message will be displayed and the  
system will halt. This system is designed for using non-ECC DIMMs only. Refer to chapter 8  
for a description of the BIOS procedure of interrogating DIMMs.  
An installed mix of DIMM types (PC100 and PC133, CL 2 and CL 3) is acceptable but operation  
will be constrained to the level of the DIMM with the lowest performance specification.  
If an incompatible DIMM is detected the NUM LOCK will blink for a short period of time during  
POST and an error message may or may not be displayed before the system hangs.

PCI BUS OVERVIEW  
NOTE: This section describes the PCI bus in general and highlights bus implementation  
in this particular system. For detailed information regarding PCI bus operation, refer to  
the PCI Local Bus Specification Revision 2.2.  
These systems implement a 32-bit Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) bus (spec. 2.2)  
operating at 33 MHz. The PCI bus handles address/data transfers through the identification of  
devices and functions on the bus. A device is typically defined as a component or slot that resides  
on the PCI bus (although some components such as the MCH and ICH2 are organized as multiple  
devices). A function is defined as the end source or target of the bus transaction. A device may  
contain one or more functions.  
In the standard configuration these systems use a hierarchy of three PCI buses (Figure 4-1). The  
PCI bus #0 is internal to the 815E chipset components and is not physically accessible. The AGP  
bus that services the AGP slot (or resident AGP controller on the Small Form Factor) is  
designated as PCI bus #1. All PCI slots and the NIC function internal to the 82801BA reside on  
PCI bus #2.

Chapter 4 System Support  
4.2.1 PCI BUS TRANSACTIONS  
The PCI bus consists of a 32-bit path (AD31-00 lines) that uses a multiplexed scheme for  
handling both address and data transfers. A bus transaction consists of an address cycle and one  
or more data cycles, with each cycle requiring a clock (PCICLK) cycle. High performance is  
realized during burst modes in which a transaction with contiguous memory locations requires  
that only one address cycle be conducted and subsequent data cycles are completed using auto-  
incremented addressing. Four types of address cycles can take place on the PCI bus; I/O, memory,  
configuration, and special. Address decoding is distributed (left up to each device on the PCI bus).  
4.2.1.1 I/O and Memory Cycles  
For I/O and memory cycles, a standard 32-bit address decode (AD31..0) for byte-level addressing  
is handled by the appropriate PCI device. For memory addressing, PCI devices decode the  
AD31..2 lines for dword-level addressing and check the AD1,0 lines for burst (linear-  
incrementing) mode. In burst mode, subsequent data phases are conducted a dword at a time with  
addressing assumed to increment accordingly (four bytes at a time).  
4.2.1.2 Configuration Cycles  
Devices on the PCI bus must comply with PCI protocol that allows configuration of that device by  
software. In this system, configuration mechanism #1 (as described in the PCI Local Bus  
specification Rev. 2.1) is employed. This method uses two 32-bit registers for initiating a  
configuration cycle for accessing the configuration space of a PCI device. The configuration  
address register (CONFIG_ADDRESS) at 0CF8h holds a value that specifies the PCI bus, PCI  
device, and specific register to be accessed. The configuration data register (CONFIG_DATA) at  
0CFCh contains the configuration data.

Technical Reference Guide  
Two types of configuration cycles are used. A Type 0 (zero) cycle is targeted to a device on the  
PCI bus on which the cycle is running. A Type 1 cycle is targeted to a device on a downstream  
PCI bus as identified by bus number bits <23..16>. With three or more PCI buses, a PCI bridge  
may convert a Type 1 to a Type 0 if it’s destined for a device being serviced by that bridge or it  
may forward the Type 1 cycle unmodified if it is destined for a device being serviced by a  
downstream bridge. Figure 4-2 shows the configuration cycle format and how the loading of  
0CF8h results in a Type 0 configuration cycle on the PCI bus. The Device Number (bits <15..11>  
determines which one of the AD31..11 lines is to be asserted high for the IDSEL signal, which  
acts as a “chip select” function for the PCI device to be configured. The function number (CF8h,  
bits <10..8>) is used to select a particular function within a PCI component.

4.2.2 PCI BUS MASTER ARBITRATION  
The PCI bus supports a bus master/target arbitration scheme. A bus master is a device that has  
been granted control of the bus for the purpose of initiating a transaction. A target is a device that  
is the recipient of a transaction. The Request (REQ), Grant (GNT), and FRAME signals are used  
by PCI bus masters for gaining access to the PCI bus. When a PCI device needs access to the PCI  
bus (and does not already own it), the PCI device asserts it’s REQn signal to the PCI bus arbiter (a  
function of the system controller component). If the bus is available, the arbiter asserts the GNTn  
signal to the requesting device, which then asserts FRAME and conducts the address phase of the  
transaction with a target. If the PCI device already owns the bus, a request is not needed and the  
device can simply assert FRAME and conduct the transaction. Table 4-3 shows the grant and  
request signals assignments for the devices on the PCI bus.

PCI bus arbitration is based on a round-robin scheme that complies with the fairness algorithm  
specified by the PCI specification. The bus parking policy allows for the current PCI bus owner  
(excepting the PCI/ISA bridge) to maintain ownership of the bus as long as no request is asserted  
by another agent. Note that most CPU-to-DRAM and AGP-to-DRAM accesses can occur  
concurrently with PCI traffic, therefore reducing the need for the Host/PCI bridge to compete for  
PCI bus ownership.

4.2.3 OPTION ROM MAPPING  
During POST, the PCI bus is scanned for devices that contain their own specific firmware in  
ROM. Such option ROM data, if detected, is loaded into system memory’s DOS compatibility  
area (refer to the system memory map shown in chapter 3).  
4.2.4 PCI INTERRUPTS  
Eight interrupt signals (INTA- thru INTH-) are available for use by PCI devices. These signals  
may be generated by on-board PCI devices or by devices installed in the PCI slots. For more  
information on interrupts including PCI interrupt mapping refer to the “System Resources” section  
4.4.  
4.2.5 PCI POWER MANAGEMENT SUPPORT  
This system complies with the PCI Power Management Interface Specification (rev 1.0). The PCI  
Power Management Enable (PME-) signal is supported by the chipset and allows compliant PCI  
and AGP peripherals to initiate the power management routine.  
4.2.6 PCI SUB-BUSSES  
The chipset implements two data busses that are supplementary in operation to the PCI bus:  
4.2.6.1 Hub Link Bus  
The chipset implements a Hub Link bus between the MCH and the ICH2. This bus is transparent  
to software and is not accessible for expansion purposes.  
4.2.6.2 LPC Bus  
The 82801 ICH2 implements a Low Pin Count (LPC) bus for handling transactions to and from  
the 47B367 Super I/O Controller as well as the 82802 Firmware Hub (FWH). The LPC bus  
transfers data a nibble (4 bits) at a time at a 33-MHz rate. Generally transparent in operation, the  
only consideration required of the LPC bus is during the configuration of DMA channel modes  
(see section 4.4.3 “DMA”).

4.2.7 PCI CONFIGURATION  
PCI bus operations require the configuration of certain parameters such as PCI IRQ routing, DMA  
channel configuration, RTC control, port decode ranges, and power management options. These  
parameters are handled by the LPC I/F bridge function (PCI function #0, device 31) of the ICH2  
component and configured through the PCI configuration space registers listed in Table 4-4.  
Configuration is provided by BIOS at power-up but re-configurable by software.

AGP BUS OVERVIEW  
NOTE: For a detailed description of AGP bus operations refer to the AGP Interface  
Specification Rev. 2.0 available at the following AGP forum web site:  
http://www.agpforum.org/index.htm  
The Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) bus is specifically designed as an economical yet high-  
performance interface for graphics adapters, especially those designed for 3D operations. The  
AGP interface is designed to give graphics adapters dedicated pipelined access to system memory  
for the purpose of off-loading texturing, z-buffering, and alpha blending used in 3D graphics  
operations. By off-loading a large portion of 3D data to system memory the AGP graphics adapter  
only requires enough memory for frame buffer (display image) refreshing.  
4.3.1 BUS TRANSACTIONS  
The operation of the AGP bus is based on the 66-MHz PCI specification but includes additional  
mechanisms to increase bandwidth. During the configuration phase the AGP bus acts in  
accordance with PCI protocol. Once graphics data handling operation is initiated, AGP-defined  
protocols take effect. The AGP graphics adapter acts generally as the AGP master, but can also  
behave as a “PCI” target during fast writes from the MCH.  
Key differences between the AGP interface and the PCI interface are as follows:  
Address phase and associated data transfer phase are disconnected transactions. Addressing  
and data transferring occur as contiguous actions on the PCI bus. On the AGP bus a request  
for data and the transfer of data may be separated by other operations.  
Commands on the AGP bus specify system memory accesses only. Unlike the PCI bus,  
commands involving I/O and configuration are not required or allowed. The system memory  
address space used in AGP operations is the same linear space used by PCI memory space  
commands, but is further specified by the graphics address re-mapping table (GART) of the  
north bridge component.  
Data transactions on the AGP bus involve eight bytes or multiples of eight bytes. The AGP  
memory addressing protocol uses 8-byte boundaries as opposed to PCI’s 4-byte boundaries.  
If a transfer of less than eight bytes is needed, the remaining bytes are filled with arbitrary  
data that is discarded by the target.  
Pipelined requests are defined by length or size on the AGP bus. The PCI bus defines transfer  
lengths with the FRAME- signal.  
There are two basic types of transactions on the AGP bus: data requests (addressing) and data  
transfers. These actions are separate from each other.

Chapter 4 System Support  
4.3.1.1 Data Request  
Requesting data is accomplished in one of two ways; either multiplexed addressing (using the AD  
lines for addressing/data) or demultiplexed (“sideband”) addressing (using the SBA lines for  
addressing only and the AD lines for data only). Even though there are only eight SBA lines (as  
opposed to the 32 AD lines) sideband addressing maximizes efficiency and throughput by  
allowing the AD lines to be exclusively used for data transfers. Sideband addressing occurs at the  
same rate (1X, 2X, or 4X) as data transfers. The differences in rates will be discussed in the next  
section describing data transfers. Note also that sideband addressing is limited to 48 bits (address  
bits 48-63 are assumed zero). The MCH component supports both SBA and AD addressing , but  
the method and rate is selected by the AGP graphics adapter.  
4.3.1.2 Data Transfers  
Data transfers use the AD lines and occur as the result of data requests described previously. Each  
transaction resulting from a request involves at least eight bytes, requiring the 32 AD lines to  
handle at least two transfers per request. The 82845 MCH supports three transfer rates: 1X, 2X,  
and 4X. Regardless of the rate used, the speed of the bus clock is constant at 66 MHz. The  
following subsections describe how the use of additional strobe signals makes possible higher  
transfer rates.  
AGP 1X Transfers  
During a AGP 1X transfer the 66-MHz CLK signal is used to qualify the control and data signals.  
Each 4-byte data transfer is synchronous with one CLK cycle so it takes two CLK cycles for a  
minimum 8-byte transfer (Figure 4-5 shows two 8-byte transfers). The GNT- and TRDY- signals  
retain their traditional PCI functions. The ST0..3 signals are used for priority encoding, with  
“000” for low priority and “001” indicating high priority. The signal level for AGP 1X transfers  
may be 3.3 or 1.5 VDC.

AGP 2X Transfers  
During AGP 2X transfers, clocking is basically the same as in 1X transfers except that the 66-  
MHz CLK signal is used to qualify only the control signals. The data bytes are latched by an  
additional strobe (AD_STBx) signal so that an 8-byte transfer occurs in one CLK cycle (Figure 4-  
6). The first four bytes (DnA) are latched by the receiving agent on the falling edge of AD_STBx  
and the second four bytes (DnB) are latched on the rising edge of AD_STBx. The signal level for  
AGP 2X transfers may be 3.3 or 1.5 VDC.

Figure 4-6. AGP 2X Data Transfer (Peak Transfer Rate: 532 MB/s)  
AGP 4X Transfers  
The AGP 4X transfer rate allows sixteen bytes of data to be transferred in one clock cycle. As in  
2X transfers the 66-MHz CLK signal is used only for qualifying control signals while strobe  
signals are used to latch each 4-byte transfer on the AD lines. As shown in Figure 4-7, 4-byte  
block DnA is latched by the falling edge of AD_STBx while DnB is latched by the falling edge of  
AD_STBx-. The signal level for AGP 4X transfers is 1.5 VDC.

4.3.2 AGP CONFIGURATION  
AGP bus operations require the configuration of certain parameters involving system memory  
access by the AGP graphics adapter. The AGP bus interface is configured as a PCI device  
integrated within the north bridge (MCH, device 1) component. The AGP function is, from the  
PCI bus perspective, treated essentially as a PCI/PCI bridge and configured through PCI  
configuration registers (Table 4-6). Configuration is accomplished by BIOS during POST.  
NOTE: Configuration of the AGP bus interface involves functions 0 and 1 of the  
MCH. Function 0 registers (listed in Table 3-4) include functions that affect basic  
control (GART) of the AGP.

SYSTEM RESOURCES  
This section describes the availability and basic control of major subsystems, otherwise known as  
resource allocation or simply “system resources.” System resources are provided on a priority  
basis through hardware interrupts and DMA requests and grants.  
4.4.1 INTERRUPTS  
The microprocessor uses two types of hardware interrupts; maskable and nonmaskable. A  
maskable interrupt can be enabled or disabled within the microprocessor by the use of the STI and  
CLI instructions. A nonmaskable interrupt cannot be masked off within the microprocessor,  
although it may be inhibited by hardware or software means external to the microprocessor.  
4.4.1.1 Maskable Interrupts  
The maskable interrupt is a hardware-generated signal used by peripheral functions within the  
system to get the attention of the microprocessor. Peripheral functions produce a unique INTA-H  
(PCI) or IRQ0-15 (ISA) signal that is routed to interrupt processing logic that asserts the interrupt  
(INTR-) input to the microprocessor. The microprocessor halts execution to determine the source  
of the interrupt and then services the peripheral as appropriate.  
Figure 4-9 shows the routing of PCI and ISA interrupts. Most IRQs are routed through the I/O  
controller, which contains a serializing function. A serialized interrupt stream is applied to the  
82801 ICH2.

8259 Mode  
The 8259 mode handles interrupts IRQ0-IRQ15 in the legacy (AT-system) method using 8259-  
equivalent logic. Table 4-8 lists the standard source configuration for maskable interrupts and  
their priorities in 8259 mode. If more than one interrupt is pending, the highest priority (lowest  
number) is processed first.

APIC Mode  
The Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller (APIC) mode provides enhanced interrupt  
processing with the following advantages:  
Eliminates the processor’s interrupt acknowledge cycle by using a separate (APIC) bus  
Programmable interrupt priority  
Additional interrupts (total of 24)  
The APIC mode accommodates eight PCI interrupt signals (INTA-..INTH-) for use by PCI  
devices. The PCI interrupts are evenly distributed to minimize latency and wired as follows:

The PCI interrupts can be configured by PCI Configuration Registers 60h..63h to share the  
standard ISA interrupts (IRQn).  
NOTE: The APIC mode is supported by the Windows NT and Windows 2000 operating  
systems. Systems running the Windows 95 or 98 operating system will need to run in  
8259 mode.  
Maskable Interrupt processing is controlled and monitored through standard AT-type I/O-mapped  
registers. These registers are listed in Table 4-9.

4.4.1.2 Non-Maskable Interrupts  
Non-maskable interrupts cannot be masked (inhibited) within the microprocessor itself but may be  
maskable by software using logic external to the microprocessor. There are two non-maskable  
interrupt signals: the NMI- and the SMI-. These signals have service priority over all maskable  
interrupts, with the SMI- having top priority over all interrupts including the NMI-.  
NMI- Generation  
The Non-Maskable Interrupt (NMI-) signal can be generated by one of the following actions:

After the active NMI has been processed, status bits <7> or <6> are cleared by pulsing bits <2> or  
<3> respectively.  
The NMI Enable Register (070h, <7>) is used to enable/disable the NMI signal. Writing 80h to  
this register masks generation of the NMI-. Note that the lower six bits of register at I/O port 70h  
affect RTC operation and should be considered when changing NMI- generation status.  
SMI- Generation  
The SMI- (System Management Interrupt) is typically used for power management functions.  
When power management is enabled, inactivity timers are monitored. When a timer times out,  
SMI- is asserted and invokes the microprocessor’s SMI handler. The SMI- handler works with the  
APM BIOS to service the SMI- according to the cause of the timeout.  
Although the SMI- is primarily used for power managment the interrupt is also employed for the  
QuickLock/QuickBlank functions as well.

4.4.2 DIRECT MEMORY ACCESS  
Direct Memory Access (DMA) is a method by which a device accesses system memory without  
involving the microprocessor. Although the DMA method has been traditionally used to transfer  
blocks of data to or from an ISA I/O device, PCI devices may also use DMA operation as well.  
The DMA method reduces the amount of CPU interactions with memory, freeing the CPU for  
other processing tasks.  
NOTE: This section describes DMA in general. For detailed information regarding  
DMA operation, refer to the data manual for the Intel 82801BA I/O Controller Hub.  
The 82801 ICH2 component includes the equivalent of two 8237 DMA controllers cascaded  
together to provide eight DMA channels, each (excepting channel 4) configurable to a specific  
device. Table 4-10 lists the default configuration of the DMA channels.

All channels in DMA controller 1 operate at a higher priority than those in controller 2. Note that  
channel 4 is not available for use other than its cascading function for controller 1. The DMA  
controller 2 can transfer words only on an even address boundary. The DMA controller and page  
register define a 24-bit address that allows data transfers within the address space of the CPU.  
In addition to device configuration, each channel can be configured (through PCI Configuration  
Registers) for one of two modes of operation:  
LPC DMA  
PC/PCI DMA  
The LPC DMA mode uses the LPC bus to communicate DMA channel control and is  
implemented for devices using DMA through the LPC47B367 I/O controller such as the diskette  
drive controller.  
The PC/PCI DMA mode uses the REQ#/GNT# signals to communicate DMA channel control and  
is used by PCI expansion devices.

The DMA logic is accessed through two types of I/O mapped registers; page registers and  
controller registers.  
4.4.2.1 DMA Page Registers  
The DMA page register contains the eight most significant bits of the 24-bit address and works in  
conjunction with the DMA controllers to define the complete (24-bit)address for the DMA  
channels. Table 4-11 lists the page register port addresses.

A15..A00  
24-Bit Address - Controller 2 (Word Transfers)  
8-Bit Page Register  
A23..A17  
16-Bit DMA Controller  
A16..A01, (A00 = 0)  
Note that address line A16 from the DMA memory page register is disabled when DMA  
controller 2 is selected. Address line A00 is not connected to DMA controller 2 and is always 0  
when word-length transfers are selected.  
By not connecting A00, the following applies:  
The size of the the block of data that can be moved or addressed is measured in 16-bits  
(words) rather than 8-bits (bytes).  
The words must always be addressed on an even boundary.

DMA controller 1 can move up to 64 Kbytes of data per DMA transfer. DMA controller 2 can  
move up to 64 Kwords (128 Kbytes) of data per DMA transfer. Word DMA operations are only  
possible between 16-bit memory and 16-bit peripherals.  
The RAM refresh is designed to perform a memory read cycle on each of the 512 row addresses  
in the DRAM memory space. Refresh operations are used to refresh memory on the 32-bit  
memory bus and the ISA bus. The refresh address is provided on lines SA00 through SA08.  
Address lines LA23..17, SA18,19 are driven low.  
The remaining address lines are in an undefined state during the refresh cycle. The refresh  
operations are driven by a 69.799-KHz clock generated by Interval Timer 1, Counter 1. The  
refresh rate is 128 refresh cycles in 2.038 ms.

REAL-TIME CLOCK AND CONFIGURATION MEMORY  
The Real-time clock (RTC) and configuration memory (also referred to as “CMOS”) functions are  
provided by the 82801 ICH2 component and is MC146818-compatible. As shown in the  
following figure, the 82801 ICH2 component provides 256 bytes of battery-backed RAM divided  
into two 128-byte configuration memory areas. The RTC uses the first 14 bytes (00-0Dh) of the  
standard memory area. All locations of the standard memory area (00-7Fh) can be directly  
accessed using conventional OUT and IN assembly language instructions through I/O ports  
70h/71h, although the suggested method is to use the INT15 AX=E823h BIOS call.

A lithium 3-VDC battery is used for maintaining the RTC and configuration memory while the  
system is powered down. During system operation a wire-Ored circuit allows the RTC and  
configuration memory to draw power from the power supply. The battery is located in a battery  
holder on the system board and has a life expectancy of four to eight years. When the battery has  
expired it is replaced with a Renata CR2032 or equivalent 3-VDC lithium battery.  
4.6.1 CLEARING CMOS  
The contents of configuration memory (including the Power-On Password) can be cleared by the  
following procedure:  
1. Turn off the unit.  
2. Disconnect the AC power cord from the outlet and/or system unit.  
3. Remove the chassis hood (cover) and insure that no LEDs on the system board are  
illuminated.  
4. Press and release the CMOS clear button on the system board.  
5. Replace the chassis hood (cover).  
6. Reconnect the AC power cord to the outlet and/or system unit.  
7. Turn the unit on.  
To clear only the Power-On Password refer to section 4.7.1.1.

4.6.2 CMOS ARCHIVE AND RESTORE  
During the boot sequence the BIOS saves a copy of NVRAM (CMOS contents, password(s) and  
other system variables) in a portion of the flash ROM. Should the system become un-usable, the  
last good copy of NVRAM data can be restored with the Power Button Override function. This  
function is invoked with the following procedure:  
1. With the unit powered down, press and release the power button.  
2. Immediately after releasing the power button in step 1, press and hold the power button until  
the unit powers down. This action will be recorded as a Power Button Override event.  
With the next startup sequence the BIOS will detect the occurrence of the Power Button Override  
event and will load the backup copy of NVRAM from the ROM to the CMOS.  
NOTE: The Power Button Override feature does not allow quick cycling of the system  
(turning on then off). If the power cord is disconnected during the POST routine, the  
splash screen image may become corrupted, requiring a re-flashing of the ROM (refer to  
chapter 8, BIOS ROM).  
4.6.3 STANDARD CMOS LOCATIONS  
Table 4-14 and the following paragraphs describe standard configuration memory locations 0Ah-  
3Fh. These locations are accessible through using OUT/IN assembly language instructions using  
port 70/71h or BIOS function INT15, AX=E823h.

SYSTEM MANAGEMENT  
This section describes functions having to do with security, power management, temperature, and  
overall status. These functions are handled by hardware and firmware (BIOS) and generally  
configured through the Setup utility.  
4.7.1 SECURITY FUNCTIONS  
These systems include various features that provide different levels of security. Note that this  
subsection describes only the hardware functionality (including that supported by Setup) and  
does not describe security features that may be provided by the operating system and application  
software.  
4.7.1.1 Power-On Password  
These systems include a power-on password, which may be enabled or disabled (cleared) through  
a jumper on the system board. The jumper controls a GPIO input to the 82801 ICH2 that is  
checked during POST. The password is stored in configuration memory (CMOS) and if enabled  
and then forgotten by the user will require that either the password be cleared (preferable solution  
and described below) or the entire CMOS be cleared (refer to section 4.6).  
To clear the password, use the following procedure:  
1. Turn off the system and disconnect the AC power cord from the outlet and/or system unit.  
2. Remove the cover (hood) as described in the appropriate User Guide or Maintainance And  
Service Guide. Insure that all system board LEDs are off (not illuminated).  
3. Locate the password clear jumper (header is labeled E49 on these systems) and move the  
jumper from pins 1 and 2 and place on (just) pin 2 (for safekeeping).  
4. Replace the cover.  
5. Re-connect the AC power cord to the AC outlet and/or system unit.  
6. Turn on the system. The POST routine will clear and disable the password.  
7. To re-enable the password feature, repeat steps 1-6, replacing the jumper on pins 1 and 2 of  
header E49.  
4.7.1.2 Setup Password  
The Setup utility may be configured to be always changeable or changeable only by entering a  
password. The password is held on CMOS and, if forgotten, will require that CMOS be cleared  
(refer to section 4.6).

4.7.1.3 Cable Lock Provision  
These systems include a chassis cutout (on the rear panel) for the attachment of a cable lock  
mechanism.  
4.7.1.4 I/O Interface Security  
The serial, parallel, USB, and diskette interfaces may be disabled individually through the Setup  
utility to guard against unauthorized access to a system. In addition, the ability to write to or boot  
from a removable media drive (such as the diskette drive) may be enabled through the Setup  
utility. The disabling of the serial, parallel, and diskette interfaces are a function of the  
LPC47B367 I/O controller. The USB ports are controlled through the 82801 ICH2.  
4.7.1.5 Chassis Security  
The Small Form Factor and Desktop systems feature Smart Cover (hood) Sensor and Smart Cover  
(hood) Lock mechanisms to inhibit unauthorized tampering of the system unit.  
Smart Cover Sensor  
The Small Form Factor and Desktop systems include a plunger switch that, when the cover (hood)  
is removed, closes and grounds an input of the 82801 ICH2. The battery-backed logic will record  
this “intrusion” event by setting a specific bit. This bit will remain set (even if the cover is  
replaced) until the system is powered up and the user completes the boot sequence successfully, at  
which time the bit will be cleared. Through Setup, the user can set this function to be used by  
Alert-On-LAN and or one of three levels of support for a “cover removed” condition:  
Level 0 - Cover removal indication is essentially disabled at this level. During POST, status bit is  
cleared and no other action is taken by BIOS.  
Level 1 - During POST the message “The computer’s cover has been removed since the last  
system start up” is displayed and time stamp in CMOS is updated.  
Level 2 - During POST the “The computer’s cover has been removed since the last system start  
up” message is displayed, time stamp in CMOS is updated, and the user is prompted for the  
administrator password.  
Smart Cover Lock  
The Small Form Factor and Desktop systems include a solenoid-operated locking bar that, when  
activated, prevents the cover (hood) from being removed. The GPIO ports 44 and 45 of the  
LPC47B367 I/O controller provide the lock and unlock signals to the solenoid. A locked hood  
may be bypassed by removing special screws that hold the locking mechanism in place. The  
special screws are removed with the Compaq Smart Cover Lock Failsafe Key.

4.7.4 THERMAL SENSING AND COOLING  
All systems feature a variable-speed fan as part of the power supply assembly. All systems also  
provide a system board connection for a processor fan, which is present in all units. Desktop and  
Configurable Minitower systems provide an auxiliary chassis fan. All fans are controlled through  
temperature sensing logic both on the system board and in the power supply. Electrically, there  
are slight differences between the Small Form Factor (Figure 4-11) and the desktop and  
configurable minitower (Figure 4-12), although functionally operation is the same.  
An ASIC monitors a thermal diode internal to the processor and provides a Fan CMD signal that  
the Speed Control logic uses to vary the speed of the fan(s) through the negative terminal of the  
fan(s). The turning off of the fan(s) as the result from the system being placed into a Sleep  
condition is initiated by the control ASIC asserting the Fan Off- signal, which results in the  
On/Off Control logic shutting off the +12 volts to the fan(s).  
The main differences between the system types are as follows:  
In the Small Form Factor system the processor fan, controlled by a separate speed control  
circuit, is mounted in the front of the chassis (separate from the heat sink assembly) and air is  
conducted across the processor's heat sink by an air baffle.  
Desktop/Configurable Minitower systems use an integrated heat sink/fan assembly, with all  
fans speed-controlled by the ASIC through the power supply so that a thermal condition of  
the processor or power supply will affect all fans simultaneously.  
Typical cooling conditions include the following:  
1. Normal – Low fan speed.  
2. Hot processor – ASIC directs Speed Control logic to increase speed of fan(s).  
3. Hot power supply – Power supply increases speed of fan(s).  
4. Sleep state – Fan(s) turned off. Hot processor or power supply will result in starting fan(s).

Chapter 4 System Support  
High and low thermal parameters are programmed into the ASIC by BIOS during POST. If the  
high thermal parameter is reached then the fan(s) will be turned on full speed and the Therm-  
signal will be asserted. The asserted Therm- signal can, with the proper software setup, be used by  
the 82801 ICH2 to initiate an AOL message for transmission over a network (refer to Network  
Interface Controller subsection in Chapter 5).  
NOTE: These systems do not support thermister-based fans used on earlier products.

4.8.2 LPC47B367 I/O CONTROLLER FUNCTIONS  
The LPC47B367 I/O controller contains various functions such as the keyboard/mouse interfaces,  
diskette interface, serial interfaces, and parallel interface. While the control of these interfaces  
uses standard AT-type I/O addressing (as described in chapter 5) the configuration of these  
functions uses indexed ports unique to the LPC47B367. In these systems, hardware strapping  
selects I/O addresses 02Eh and 02Fh at reset as the Index/Data ports for accessing the logical  
devices within the LPC47B367. Table 4-18 lists the PnP standard control registers for the  
LPC47B367.

The configuration registers are accessed through I/O registers 2Eh (index) and 2Fh (data) after the  
configuration phase has been activated by writing 55h to I/O port 2Eh. The desired interface  
(logical device) is initiated by firmware selecting logical device number of the 47B347 using the  
following sequence:  
1. Write 07h to I/O register 2Eh.  
2. Write value of logical device to I/O register 2Fh.  
3. Write 30h to I/O register 2Eh.  
4. Write 01h to I/O register 2Fh (this activates the interface).  
Writing AAh to 2Eh deactivates the configuration phase.

Intruder sensing – Used on Small Form Factor and Desktop models, battery-backed D-latch  
logic internal to the LPC47B367 is connected to the hood sensor switch to record hood  
(cover) removal.  
Hood lock/unlock – Used on Small Form Factor and Desktop models, logic internal to the  
LPC47B34x controls the lock bar mechanism.  
I/O security – The parallel, serial, and diskette interfaces may be disabled individually by  
software and the LPC47B367’s disabling register locked. If the disabling register is locked, a  
system reset through a cold boot is required to gain access to the disabling (Device Disable)  
register.  
Processor present/speed detection – One of the battery-back general-purpose inputs (GPI26)  
of the LPC47B367 detects if the processor has been removed. The occurrence of this event is  
passed to the ICH2 that will, during the next boot sequence, initiate the speed selection  
routine for the processor. The speed selection function replaces the manual DIP switch  
configuration procedure required on previous systems.  
Legacy/ACPI power button mode control – The LPC47B367 receives the pulse signal from  
the system’s power button and produces the PS On signal according to the mode (legacy or  
ACPI) selected. Refer to chapter 7 for more information regarding power management.

ENHANCED IDE INTERFACE  
The enhanced IDE (EIDE) interface consists of primary and secondary controllers integrated into  
the 82801 ICH2 component of the chipset. Two 40-pin IDE connectors (one for each controller)  
are included on the system board. Each controller can be configured independently for the  
following modes of operation:  
Programmed I/O (PIO) mode – CPU controls drive transactions through standard I/O mapped  
registers of the IDE drive.  
8237 DMA mode – CPU offloads drive transactions using DMA protocol with transfer rates  
up to 16 MB/s.  
Ultra ATA/100 mode – Preferred bus mastering source-synchronous protocol providing  
transfer rates of 100 MB/s.  
NOTE: These systems include 80-conductor data cables required for UATA/66 and /100  
modes.  
5.2.1 IDE PROGRAMMING  
The IDE interface is configured as a PCI device during POST and controlled through I/O-mapped  
registers at runtime.

DISKETTE DRIVE INTERFACE  
The diskette drive interface supports up to two diskette drives, each of which use a common cable  
connected to a standard 34-pin diskette drive connector. All models come standard with a 3.5-inch  
1.44-MB diskette drive installed as drive A. The drive designation is determined by which  
connector is used on the diskette drive cable. The drive attached to the end connector is drive A  
while the drive attached to the second (next to the end) connector) is drive B.  
On all models, the diskette drive interface function is integrated into the LPC47B357 super I/O  
component. The internal logic of the I/O controller is software-compatible with standard 82077-  
type logic. The diskette drive controller has three operational phases in the following order:  
Command phase - The controller receives the command from the system.  
Execution phase - The controller carries out the command.  
Results phase - Status and results data is read back from the controller to the system.  
The Command phase consists of several bytes written in series from the CPU to the data register  
(3F5h/375h). The first byte identifies the command and the remaining bytes define the parameters  
of the command. The Main Status register (3F4h/374h) provides data flow control for the diskette  
drive controller and must be polled between each byte transfer during the Command phase.  
The Execution phase starts as soon as the last byte of the Command phase is received. An  
Execution phase may involve the transfer of data to and from the diskette drive, a mechnical  
control function of the drive, or an operation that remains internal to the diskette drive controller.  
Data transfers (writes or reads) with the diskette drive controller are by DMA, using the DRQ2  
and DACK2- signals for control.  
The Results phase consists of the CPU reading a series of status bytes (from the data register  
(3F5h/375h)) that indicate the results of the command. Note that some commands do not have a  
Result phase, in which case the Execution phase can be followed by a Command phase.  
During periods of inactivity, the diskette drive controller is in a non-operation mode known as the  
Idle phase.

5.3.1 DISKETTE DRIVE PROGRAMMING  
Programming the diskette drive interface consists of configuration, which occurs typically during  
POST, and control, which occurs at runtime.  
5.3.1.1 Diskette Drive Interface Configuration  
The diskette drive controller must be configured for a specific address and also must be enabled  
before it can be used. Address selection and enabling of the diskette drive interface are affected by  
firmware through the PnP configuration registers of the 47B357 I/O controller during POST.  
The configuration registers are accessed through I/O registers 2Eh (index) and 2Fh (data) after the  
configuration phase has been activated by writing 55h to I/O port 2Eh. The diskette drive I/F is  
initiated by firmware selecting logical device 0 of the 47B357 using the following sequence:  
1. Write 07h to I/O register 2Eh.  
2. Write 00h to I/O register 2Fh (this selects the diskette drive I/F).  
3. Write 30h to I/O register 2Eh.  
4. Write 01h to I/O register 2Fh (this activates the interface).  
Writing AAh to 2Eh deactivates the configuration phase. The diskette drive I/F configuration  
registers are listed in the following table:

The BIOS function INT 13 provides basic control of the diskette drive interface. The diskette  
drive interface can be controlled by software through the LPC47B357’s I/O-mapped registers  
listed in Table 5-5. The diskette drive controller of the LPC47B357 operates in the PC/AT mode  
in these systems.

SERIAL INTERFACE  
All models include two RS-232-C type serial interfaces to transmit and receive asynchronous  
serial data with external devices. The serial interface function is provided by the LPC47B357 I/O  
controller component that includes two NS16C550-compatible UARTs.  
Each UART supports the standard baud rates up through 115200, and also special high speed  
rates of 239400 and 460800 baud. The baud rate of the UART is typically set to match the  
capability of the connected device. While most baud rates may be set at runtime, baud rates  
230400 and 460800 must be set during the configuration phase.  
5.4.1 SERIAL CONNECTOR  
The serial port uses a DB-9 connector as shown in the following figure with the pinout listed in  
Table 5-5.

PARALLEL INTERFACE  
The legacy-light models include a parallel interface for connection to a peripheral device that has  
a compatible interface, the most common being a printer. The parallel interface function is  
integrated into theLPC47B277 I/O controller component and provides bi-directional 8-bit parallel  
data transfers with a peripheral device. The parallel interface supports three main modes of  
operation:  
Standard Parallel Port (SPP) mode  
Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP) mode  
Extended Capabilities Port (ECP) mode  
These three modes (and their submodes) provide complete support as specified for an IEEE 1284  
parallel port.  
5.5.1 STANDARD PARALLEL PORT MODE  
The Standard Parallel Port (SPP) mode uses software-based protocol and includes two sub-modes  
of operation, compatible and extended, both of which can provide data transfers up to 150 KB/s.  
In the compatible mode, CPU write data is simply presented on the eight data lines. A CPU read  
of the parallel port yields the last data byte that was written.  
The following steps define the standard procedure for communicating with a printing device:  
1. The system checks the Printer Status register. If the Busy, Paper Out, or Printer Fault signals  
are indicated as being active, the system either waits for a status change or generates an error  
message.  
2. The system sends a byte of data to the Printer Data register, then pulses the printer STROBE  
signal (through the Printer Control register) for at least 500 ns.  
3. The system then monitors the Printer Status register for acknowledgment of the data byte  
before sending the next byte.  
In extended mode, a direction control bit (CTR 37Ah, bit <5>) controls the latching of output data  
while allowing a CPU read to fetch data present on the data lines, thereby providing bi-directional  
parallel transfers to occur.  
The SPP mode uses three registers for operation: the Data register (DTR), the Status register  
(STR) and the Control register (CTR). Address decoding in SPP mode includes address lines A0  
and A1.

Chapter 5 Input/Output Interfaces  
5.5.2 ENHANCED PARALLEL PORT MODE  
In Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP) mode, increased data transfers are possible (up to 2 MB/s) due to  
a hardware protocol that provides automatic address and strobe generation. EPP revisions 1.7 and  
1.9 are both supported. For the parallel interface to be initialized for EPP mode, a negotiation  
phase is entered to detect whether or not the connected peripheral is compatible with EPP mode. If  
compatible, then EPP mode can be used. In EPP mode, system timing is closely coupled to EPP  
timing. A watchdog timer is used to prevent system lockup.  
Five additional registers are available in EPP mode to handle 16- and 32-bit CPU accesses with  
the parallel interface. Address decoding includes address lines A0, A1, and A2.  
5.5.3 EXTENDED CAPABILITIES PORT MODE  
The Extended Capabilities Port (ECP) mode, like EPP, also uses a hardware protocol-based  
design that supports transfers up to 2 MB/s. Automatic generation of addresses and strobes as well  
as Run Length Encoding (RLE) decompression is supported by ECP mode. The ECP mode  
includes a bi-directional FIFO buffer that can be accessed by the CPU using DMA or programmed  
I/O. For the parallel interface to be initialized for ECP mode, a negotiation phase is entered to  
detect whether or not the connected peripheral is compatible with ECP mode. If compatible, then  
ECP mode can be used.  
Ten control registers are available in ECP mode to handle transfer operations. In accessing the  
control registers, the base address is determined by address lines A2-A9, with lines A0, A1, and  
A10 defining the offset address of the control register. Registers used for FIFO operations are  
accessed at their base address + 400h (i.e., if configured for LPT1, then 378h + 400h = 778h).  
The ECP mode includes several sub-modes as determined by the Extended Control register. Two  
submodes of ECP allow the parallel port to be controlled by software. In these modes, the FIFO  
is cleared and not used, and DMA and RLE are inhibited.

5.5.4.1 Parallel Interface Configuration  
The parallel interface must be configured for a specific address range (LPT1, LPT2, etc.) and also  
must be enabled before it can be used. When configured for EPP or ECP mode, additional  
considerations must be taken into account. Address selection, enabling, and EPP/ECP mode  
parameters of the parallel interface are affected through the PnP configuration registers of the  
LPC47B357 I/O controller. Address selection and enabling are automatically done by the BIOS  
during POST but can also be accomplished with the Setup utility and other software.

5.6  
KEYBOARD/POINTING DEVICE INTERFACE  
The keyboard/pointing device interface function is provided by the LPC47B357 I/O controller  
component, which integrates 8042-compatible keyboard controller logic (hereafter referred to as  
simply the “8042”) to communicate with the keyboard and pointing device using bi-directional  
serial data transfers. The 8042 handles scan code translation and password lock protection for the  
keyboard as well as communications with the pointing device. This section describes the interface  
itself. The keyboard is discussed in the Appendix C.  
5.6.1 KEYBOARD INTERFACE OPERATION  
The data/clock link between the 8042 and the keyboard is uni-directional for Keyboard Mode 1  
and bi-directional for Keyboard Modes 2 and 3. (These modes are discussed in detail in Appendix  
C). This section describes Mode 2 (the default) mode of operation.  
Communication between the keyboard and the 8042 consists of commands (originated by either  
the keyboard or the 8042) and scan codes from the keyboard. A command can request an action or  
indicate status. The keyboard interface uses IRQ1 to get the attention of the CPU.  
The 8042 can send a command to the keyboard at any time. When the 8042 wants to send a  
command, the 8042 clamps the clock signal from the keyboard for a minimum of 60 us. If the  
keyboard is transmitting data at that time, the transmission is allowed to finish. When the 8042 is  
ready to transmit to the keyboard, the 8042 pulls the data line low, causing the keyboard to  
respond by pulling the clock line low as well, allowing the start bit to be clocked out of the 8042.  
The data is then transferred serially, LSb first, to the keyboard (Figure 5-6). An odd parity bit is  
sent following the eighth data bit. After the parity bit is received, the keyboard pulls the data line  
low and clocks this condition to the 8042. When the keyboard receives the stop bit, the clock line  
is pulled low to inhibit the keyboard and allow it to process the data.

Control of the data and clock signals is shared by the 8042and the keyboard depending on the  
originator of the transferred data. Note that the clock signal is always generated by the keyboard.  
After the keyboard receives a command from the 8042, the keyboard returns an ACK code. If a  
parity error or timeout occurs, a Resend command is sent to the 8042.  
Table 5-13 lists and describes commands that can be issued by the 8042 to the keyboard.

PnP configuration registers of the LPC47B357 I/O controller. Enabling and speed control are  
automatically set by the BIOS during POST but can also be accomplished with the Setup utility  
and other software.  
The keyboard interface configuration registers are listed in the following table:

5.6.3.2 8042 Control  
The BIOS function INT 16 is typically used for controlling interaction with the keyboard. Sub-  
functions of INT 16 conduct the basic routines of handling keyboard data (i.e., translating the  
keyboard’s scan codes into ASCII codes). The keyboard/pointing device interface is accessed by  
the CPU through I/O mapped ports 60h and 64h, which provide the following functions:  
Output buffer reads  
Input buffer writes  
Status reads  
Command writes  
Ports 60h and 64h can be accessed using the IN instruction for a read and the OUT instruction for  
a write. Prior to reading data from port 60h, the “Output Buffer Full” status bit (64h, bit <0>)  
should be checked to ensure data is available. Likewise, before writing a command or data, the  
“Input Buffer Empty” status bit (64h, bit <1>) should also be checked to ensure space is available.  
I/O Port 60h  
I/O port 60h is used for accessing the input and output buffers. This register is used to send and  
receive data from the keyboard and the pointing device. This register is also used to send the  
second byte of multi-byte commands to the 8042 and to receive responses from the 8042 for  
commands that require a response.  
A read of 60h by the CPU yields the byte held in the output buffer. The output buffer holds data  
that has been received from the keyboard and is to be transferred to the system.  
A CPU write to 60h places a data byte in the input byte buffer and sets the CMD/ DATA bit of the  
Status register to DATA. The input buffer is used for transferring data from the system to the  
keyboard. All data written to this port by the CPU will be transferred to the keyboard except bytes  
that follow a multibyte command that was written to 64h  
I/O Port 64h  
I/O port 64h is used for reading the status register and for writing commands. A read of 64h by  
the CPU will yield the status byte defined as follows:  
Bit  
7..4  
3
Function  
General Purpose Flags.  
CMD/DATA Flag (reflects the state of A2 during a CPU write).  
0 = Data  
1 = Command  
2
1
General Purpose Flag.  
Input Buffer Full. Set (to 1) upon a CPU write. Cleared by  
IN A, DBB instruction.  
0
Output Buffer Full (if set). Cleared by a CPU read of the  
buffer.  
A CPU write to I/O port 64h places a command value into the input buffer and sets the  
CMD/DATA bit of the status register (bit <3>) to CMD.

Enable security. This command places the 8042 in password lock mode following the A5h command.  
The correct password must then be entered before further communication with the 8042 is allowed.  
Disable pointing device. This command sets bit <5> of the 8042 command byte, pulling the clock line  
of the pointing device interface low.  
Enable pointing device. This command clears bit <5> of the 8042 command byte, activating the clock  
line of the pointing device interface.  
Test the clock and data lines of the pointing device interface and place test results in the output  
buffer.  
00h = No error detected  
01h = Clock line stuck low  
02h = Clock line stuck high  
03h = Data line stuck low  
04h = Data line stuck high  
AAh  
ABh  
Initialization. This command causes the 8042 to inhibit the keyboard and pointing device and places  
55h into the output buffer.  
Test the clock and data lines of the keyboard interface and place test results in the output buffer.  
00h = No error detected  
01h = Clock line stuck low  
02h = Clock line stuck high  
03h = Data line stuck low  
04h = Data line stuck high

UNIVERSAL SERIAL BUS INTERFACE  
The Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface provides asynchronous/isochronous data transfers of up  
to 12 Mb/s with compatible peripherals such as keyboards, printers, or modems. This high-speed  
interface supports hot-plugging of compatible devices, making possible system configuration  
changes without powering down or even rebooting systems.  
NOTE: It is recommended to run the Windows 98 (or later) operating system when  
using USB peripherals, especially a USB keyboard and USB mouse. Problems may be  
encountered when using USB devices with a system running Windows 95, although  
some peripherals may operate satisfactorily. More information on USB compatibility and  
functionality may be found at the following web site: http://www.usb.org .  
As shown in Figure 5-8, the USB interface is provided by the 82801 ICH2 component. All models  
provide two rear-panel accessible type-A USB ports. Front panel USB ports are standard on small  
forma factor and all Workstation units. The Evo desktop and configurable minitower units may be  
upgraded to include two front panel USB ports. For more information on the USB interface refer

5.7.1 USB DATA FORMATS  
The USB I/F uses non-return-to-zero inverted (NRZI) encoding for data transmissions, in which a  
1 is represented by no change (between bit times) in signal level and a 0 is represented by a  
change in signal level. Bit stuffing is employed prior to NRZ1 encoding so that in the event a  
string of 1’s is transmitted (normally resulting in a steady signal level) a 0 is inserted after every  
six consecutive 1’s to ensure adequate signal transitions in the data stream.

The USB transmissions consist of packets using one of four types of formats (Figure 5-9) that  
include two or more of seven field types.  
Sync Field – 8-bit field that starts every packet and is used by the receiver to align the  
incoming signal with the local clock.  
Packet Identifier (PID) Field – 8-bit field sent with every packet to identify the attributes (in.  
out, start-of-frame (SOF), setup, data, acknowledge, stall, preamble) and the degree of error  
correction to be applied.  
Address Field – 7-bit field that provides source information required in token packets.  
Endpoint Field – 4-bit field that provides destination information required in token packets.  
Frame Field – 11-bit field sent in Start-of-Frame (SOF) packets that are incremented by the  
host and sent only at the start of each frame.  
Data Field – 0-1023-byte field of data.  
Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) Field – 5- or 16-bit field used to check transmission  
integrity.

5.8  
AUDIO SUBSYSTEM  
The systems covered in this guide come configured with one of two types of audio support:  
Desktop/configurable minitower audio subsystem  
Small form factor audio subsystem  
5.8.1 FUNCTIONAL ANALYSIS  
A block diagram of the audio subsystem is shown in Figure 5-11. These systems use the AC’97  
Audio Controller of the 82801 ICH2 component to access and control an Analog Devices  
AD1885 Audio Codec, which provides the analog-to-digital (ADC) and digital-to-analog (DAC)  
conversions as well as the mixing functions. All control functions such as volume, audio source  
selection, and sampling rate are controlled through software over the PCI bus through the AC97  
Audio Controller of the 82801 ICH2. Control data and digital audio streams (record and playback)  
are transferred between the Audio Controller and the Audio Codec over the AC97 Link Bus.  
Desktop and Configurable Minitower systems implement Business Audio, which has the codec  
stereo analog output applied through a headphone jack(s) and switch logic to a mono 3-watt  
amplifier that drives a 16-ohm speaker. The switch logic allows a system with two headphone  
jacks equal functionality between jacks.  
Small Form Factor systems feature Premier Sound, which includes a 6-level equalizer that  
compensates for chassis acoustics and a low-distortion 8-watt amplifier driving a speaker.  
The analog interfaces allowing connection to external audio devices include:  
Mic In - This input uses a three-conductor (stereo) mini-jack that is specifically designed for  
connection of a condenser microphone with an impedance of 10-K ohms. This is the default  
recording input after a system reset. On desktops and CMTs, if the front panel assembly is  
installed then either microphone jack is available for use (but not simultaneously).  
Line In - This input uses a three-conductor (stereo) mini-jack that is specifically designed for  
connection of a high-impedance (10k-ohm) audio source such as a tape deck.  
Headphones Out - This input uses a three-conductor (stereo) mini-jack that is designed for  
connecting a set of 16-ohm (nom.) stereo headphones or powered speakers. Plugging into the  
Headphones jack mutes the signal to the internal speaker and, on SFF systems, the Line Out jack  
as well. On desktops and CMTs, if the front panel assembly is installed then either headphone  
jack is available for use (but not simultaneously).  
Line Out (SFF only) - This output uses a three-conductor (stereo) mini-jack for connecting left  
and right channel line-level signals (20-K ohm impedance). A typical connection would be to a  
tape recorder’s Line In (Record In) jacks, an amplifier’s Line In jacks, or to powered speakers that  
contain amplifiers. Plugging into the Line Out mutes the internal speaker.

5.8.2 AC97 AUDIO CONTROLLER  
The AC97 Audio Controller is a PCI device (device 31/function 5) that is integrated into the  
82801 ICH component and supports the following functions:  
Read/write access to audio codec registers  
16-bit stereo PCM output @ up to 48 KHz sampling  
16-bit stereo PCM input @ up to 48 KHz sampling  
Acoustic echo correction for microphone  
AC’97 Link Bus  
ACPI power management  
5.8.3 AC97 LINK BUS  
The audio controller and the audio codec communicate over a five-signal AC97 Link Bus (Figure  
5-12). The AC97 Link Bus includes two serial data lines (SD OUT/SD IN) that transfer control  
and PCM audio data serially to and from the audio codec using a time-division multiplexed  
(TDM) protocol. The data lines are qualified by a 12.288 MHz BIT_CLK signal driven by the  
audio codec. Data is transferred in frames synchronized by the 48-KHz SYNC signal, which is  
derived from the clock signal and driven by the audio controller. The SYNC signal is high during  
the frame’s tag phase then falls during T17 and remains low during the data phase. A frame  
consists of one 16-bit tag slot followed by twelve 20-bit data slots. When asserted (typically  
during a power cycle), the RESET- signal (not shown) will reset all audio registers to their default  
values.

5.8.4 AUDIO CODEC  
The audio codec provides pulse code modulation (PCM) coding and decoding of audio  
information as well as the selection and/or mixing of analog channels. As shown in Figure 5-13,  
analog audio from a microphone, tape, or CD can be selected and, if to be recorded (saved) onto a  
disk drive, routed through an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The resulting left and right PCM  
record data are muxed into a time-division-multiplexed (TDM) data stream (SD IN signal) that is  
routed to the audio controller. Playback (PB) audio takes the reverse path from the audio  
controller to the audio codec as SD OUT data and is decoded and processed by the digital-to-  
analog converter (DAC). The codec supports simultaneous record and playback of stereo (left  
and right) audio. The Sample Rate Generator may be set for sampling frequencies up to 48 KHz.  
Analog audio may then be routed through 3D stereo enhancement processor or bypassed to the  
output selector (SEL). The integrated analog mixer provides the computer control-console  
functionality handling multiple audio inputs.

NETWORK INTERFACE CONTROLLER  
These systems include a 10/100 Mbps network interface controller (NIC) consisting of a 82562-  
equivalent controller integrated into the 82801BA ICH2 component coupled with a physical  
interface (PHY) component and an RJ-45 jack with integral status LEDs (Figure 5-14). The  
support firmware is contained in the system (BIOS) ROM. The NIC can operate in half- or full-  
duplex modes, and provides auto-negotiation of both mode and speed. Half-duplex operation  
features an Intel-proprietary collision reduction mechanism while full-duplex operation follows  
the IEEE 802.3x flow control specification. Transmit and receive FIFOs of 3 kilobytes each  
reduce the chance of overrun while waiting for bus access.

(always on if 100Base-Tx is forced).  
Figure 5-13. Network Interface Controller Block Diagram  
The Network Interface Controller includes the following features:  
Fast Ethernet controller with 32-bit architecture and 3-KB TX/RX buffers.  
Dual-mode support with auto-switching between 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX.  
Power down and Wake up support in both APM and ACPI environments (PME- and WOL).  
Alert-on-LAN (AOL v1.0) support.  
Link and Activity LED indicator drivers  
AOL support for upgrade card  
The controller features high and low priority queues and provides priority-packet processing for  
networks that can support that feature. The controller’s micro-machine processes transmit and  
receive frames independently and concurrently. Receive runt (under-sized) frames are not passed  
on as faulty data but discarded by the controller, which also directly handles such errors as  
collision detection or data under-run.  
The NIC uses 3.3 VDC auxiliary power, which allows the controller to support Wake-On-LAN  
(WOL) and Alert-On-LAN (AOL) functions while the main system is powered down.

Technical Reference Guide  
NOTE: For the WOL and AOL features to function as described in the following  
paragraphs, the system unit must be plugged into a live AC outlet. Controlling unit  
power through a switchable power strip will, with the strip turned off, disable WOL and  
AOL functionality.  
5.9.1 WAKE ON LAN SUPPORT  
The NIC supports the Wired-for-Management (WfM) standard of Wake-On-LAN (WOL) that  
allows the system to be booted up from a powered-down or low-power condition upon the  
detection of special packets received over a network. The NIC receives 3.3 VDC auxiliary power  
while the system unit is powered down in order to process special packets. The detection of a  
Magic Packet by the NIC results in the PME- signal on the PCI bus to be asserted, initiating  
system wake-up from an ACPI S1 or S3 state.  
5.9.2 ALERT ON LAN SUPPORT  
Alert-On-LAN (AOL) support allows the NIC to communicate the occurrence of certain events  
over a network even while the system unit is powered off. In a system-off (powered down)  
condition the network function of the 82801 ICH2 component receives auxiliary +3.3 VDC power  
(derived from the +5 VDC auxiliary power from the power supply assembly). Certain events  
(listed in Table 5-24) will result in the network function of the ICH2 to transmit an appropriate  
pre-constructed message over the network to a system management console.  
Reportable AOL events are listed in the following table:  
Table 5-24.

Chapter 5 Input/Output Interfaces  
5.9.3 POWER MANAGEMENT SUPPORT  
The NIC features Wired-for-Management (WfM) support providing system wake up from  
network events (WOL) as well as generating system status messages (AOL) and supports both  
APM and ACPI power management environments. The controller receives 3.3 VDC (auxiliary)  
power as long as the system is plugged into a live AC receptacle, allowing support of wake-up  
events occuring over a network while the system is powered down or in a low-power state.  
5.9.3.1 APM Environment  
The Advanced Power Management (APM) functionality of system wake up is implemented  
through the system’s APM-compliant BIOS and the controller’s Magic Packet-compliant  
hardware. This environment bypasses operating system (OS) intervention allowing a plugged in  
unit to be turned on remotely over the network (i.e., “remote wake up”). In APM mode the  
controller will respond upon receiving a Magic Packet, which is a packet where the node’s  
address is repeated 16 times. Upon Magic packet detection, the controller initiates the boot  
sequence.  
5.9.3.2 ACPI Environment  
The Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) functionality of system wake up is  
implemented through an ACPI-compliant OS and is the default power management mode. The  
following wakeup events may be individually enabled/disabled through the supplied software  
driver:  
Magic Packet – Packet with node address repeated 16 times in data portion  
NOTE: The following functions are supported in NDIS5 drivers but implemented through  
remote management software applications (such as LanDesk).  
Individual address match – Packet with matching user-defined byte mask  
Multicast address match – Packet with matching user-defined sample frame  
ARP (address resolution protocol) packet  
Flexible packet filtering – Packets that match defined CRC signature  
The PROSet Application software (pre-installed and accessed through the System Tray or  
Windows Control Panel) allows configuration of operational parameters such as WOL and duplex  
mode.

5.9.7 NIC UPGRADING/CHANGING  
The integrated NIC may be used in conjunction with another NIC card in a PCI slot. These  
systems provide AOL support for NIC cards that are AOL-compliant to the extent described  
previously in section 5.9.2. These systems also provide Remote System Alert (RSA) support for  
such NIC cards as the 3Com 3C905C-TX NIC card. The RSA function is similar to AOL in that  
the unit provides, even while powered off, system status alert messages to a network console.  
Note that NIC cards implementing the RSA method do not use the PCI/SMBus for receiving alert  
information and therefore require, in addition to the PCI connection, an auxiliary cable connection  
with the system as shown in Figure 5-16.

6.2.2 POWER CONTROL  
The power supply assembly is controlled digitally by the PS On signal (Figure 7-1). When PS On  
is asserted, the Power Supply Assembly is activated and all voltage outputs are produced. When  
PS On is de-asserted, the Power Supply Assembly is off and all voltages (except +3.3 AUX and  
+5 AUX) are not generated. Note that the +3.3 AUX and +5 AUX voltages are always  
produced as long as the system is connected to a live AC source.  
6.2.2.1 Power Button  
The PS On signal is typically controlled through the Power Button which, when pressed and  
released, applies a negative (grounding) pulse to the power control logic. The resultant action of  
pressing the power button depends on the state and mode of the system at that time and is  
described as follows:  
System State  
Pressed Power Button Results In:  
Off  
Negative pulse, of which the falling edge results in power control logic asserting PS  
On signal to Power Supply Assembly, which then initializes. ACPI four-second  
counter is not active.  
On, ACPI Disabled  
On, ACPI Enabled  
Negative pulse, of which the falling edge causes power control logic to de-assert the  
PS On signal. ACPI four-second counter is not active.  
Pressed and Released Under Four Seconds:  
Negative pulse, of which the falling edge causes power control logic to  
generate SMI-, set a bit in the SMI source register, set a bit for button status,  
and start four-second counter. Software should clear the button status bit  
within four seconds and the Suspend state is entered. If the status bit is  
not cleared by software in four seconds PS On is de-asserted and the  
power supply assembly shuts down (this operation is meant as a guard if  
the OS is hung).  
Pressed and Held At least Four Seconds Before Release:  
If the button is held in for at least four seconds and then released, PS On is  
negated, de-activating the power supply.

6.2.2.2 Power LED Indications  
A dual-color LED located on the front panel (bezel) is used to indicate system power status. The  
front panel (bezel) power LED provides a visual indication of key system conditions listed as  
follows:  
Power LED  
Condition  
Steady green  
Normal full-on operation  
Blinks green @ 1 Hz  
Blinks green @ 2 Hz  
Blinks green @ 4 Hz

Sleep (suspend to disk) state (S4)  
Processor not seated  
Blinks red @ 0.5 Hz  
Blinks red @ 1 Hz  
Blinks red @ 4 Hz  
Power supply crowbar activated  
BIOS ROM error  
Thermal condition: processor has overheated and shut down  
6.2.2.3 Wake Up Events  
The PS On signal can be activated with a power “wake-up” of the system due to the occurrence of  
a magic packet, serial port ring, or PCI power management (PME) event. These events can be  
individually enabled through the Setup utility to wake up the system from a sleep (low power)  
state.  
NOTE: Wake-up functionality requires that certain circuits receive auxiliary power  
while the system is turned off. The system unit must be plugged into a live AC outlet  
for wake up events to function. Using an AC power strip to control system unit power  
will disable wake-up event functionality.  
The wake up sequence for each event occurs as follows:  
Wake-On-LAN  
The network interface controller (NIC) can be configured for detection of a “Magic Packet” and  
wake the system up from sleep mode through the assertion of the PME- signal on the PCI bus.  
Refer to Chapter 5, “Network Support” for more information.  
Modem Ring  
A ring condition on serial port A (COM1) or serial port B (COM2) can be detected by the power  
control logic and, if so configured, cause the PS On signal to be asserted.  
Power Management Event  
A power management event that asserts the PME- signal on the PCI bus can be enabled to cause  
the power control logic to generate the PS On. Note that the PCI card must be PCI ver. 2.2  
compliant to support this function.

7.1  
INTRODUCTION  
The Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) of the computer is a collection of machine language  
programs stored as firmware in read-only memory (ROM). The BIOS ROM includes such  
functions as Power-On Self Test (POST), PCI device initialization, Plug ‘n Play support, power  
management activities, and the Setup utility. The firmware contained in the BIOS ROM supports  
the following operating systems and specifications:  
DOS 6.2  
Windows 3.1 (and Windows for Workgroups 3.11)  
Windows 95, 98SE, 2000, XP Professional, and XP Home  
Windows NT 4.0 (SP6 required for PnP support)  
OS/2 ver 2.1 and OS/2 Warp  
SCO Unix  
DMI 2.1  
Intel Wired for Management (WfM) ver. 2.2  
Alert-On-LAN (AOL) and Wake-On-LAN (WOL)  
ACPI and OnNow  
APM 1.2  
SMBIOS 2.3.1

Chapter 7 BIOS ROM  
7.2  
ROM FLASHING  
The system BIOS firmware is contained in a flash ROM device that can be re-written with BIOS  
code (using the ROMPAQ utility or a remote flash program) allowing easy upgrading, including  
changing the splash screen displayed during the POST routine.  
7.2.1 UPGRADING  
Upgrading the BIOS is not normally required but may be necessary if changes are made to the  
unit’s operating system, hard drive, or processor. All BIOS ROM upgrades are available directly  
from Compaq. Flashing is done either locally with the CPQFLASH Windows program, a  
ROMPaq diskette or remotely using the network boot function (described in the section 7.3.2).  
This system includes 64 KB of write-protected boot block ROM that provides a way to recover  
from a failed flashing of the system BIOS ROM. If the BIOS ROM fails the flash check, the boot  
block code provides the minimum amount of support necessary to allow booting the system from  
the diskette drive and re-flashing the system ROM with a ROMPAQ diskette. Note that if an  
administrator password has been set in the system the boot block will prompt for this password by  
illuminating the caps lock keyboard LED and displaying a message if video support is available.  
A PS/2 keyboard must be used during bootblock operation.  
Since video may not be available during the initial boot sequence the boot block routine uses the  
Num Lock, Caps Lock, and Scroll Lock LEDs of the PS/2 keyboard to communicate the status of  
the ROM flash as follows:

7.2.2 CHANGEABLE SPLASH SCREEN  
NOTE: A corrupted splash screen may be restored by the user with the ROMPAQ  
software. Depending on system, changing (customizing) the splash screen is a function  
may only be available though Compaq PC Customization Services.  
The splash screen (image displayed during POST) is stored in the BIOS ROM and may be  
replaced with another image of choice by using the Image Flash utility (Flashi.exe). The Image  
Flash utility allows the user to browse directories for image searching and pre-viewing.  
Background and foreground colors can be chosen from the selected image’s palette.  
The splash screen image requirements are as follows:  
Format:  
Size:  
Colors:  
File Size:  
Windows bitmap with 4-bit RLE encoding  
424 (width) x 320 (height) pixels  
16 (4 bits per pixel)  
< 64 KB  
The Image Flash utility can be invoked at a command line for quickly flashing a known image as  
follows:  
>\Flashi.exe [Image_Filename] [Background_Color] [Foreground_Color]  
The utility checks to insure that the specified image meets the splash screen requirements listed  
above or it will not be loaded into the ROM.

7.3  
BOOT FUNCTIONS  
The BIOS supports various functions related to the boot process, including those that occur during  
the Power On Self-Test (POST) routine.  
7.3.1 BOOT DEVICE ORDER  
The default boot device order is as follows:  
1. CD-ROM drive (EL Torito CD images)  
2. Diskette drive (A)  
3. Hard drive (C)  
4. Network boot  
The order can be changed in the ROM-based Setup utility (accessed by pressing F10 when so  
prompted during POST).  
7.3.2 NETWORK BOOT (F12) SUPPORT  
The BIOS supports booting the system to a network server. The function is accessed by pressing  
the F12 key when prompted at the lower right hand corner of the display during POST. Booting to  
a network server allows for such functions as:  
Flashing a ROM on a system without a functional operating system (OS).  
Installing an OS.  
Installing an application.  
These systems include, as standard, an integrated Intel 82562-equivalent NIC with Preboot  
Execution Environment (PXE) ROM and can boot with a NetPC-compliant server.

7.3.3 MEMORY DETECTION AND CONFIGURATION  
This system uses the Serial Presence Detect (SPD) method of determining the installed DIMM  
configuration. The BIOS communicates with an EEPROM on each DIMM through the SMBus to  
obtain data on the following DIMM parameters:  
Presence  
Size  
Type  
Timing/CAS latency  
PC133 capability  
NOTE: Refer to Chapter 3, “Processor/Memory Subsystem” for the SPD format and  
DIMM data specific to this system.  
The BIOS performs memory detection and configuration with the following steps:  
1. Program the buffer strength control registers based on SPD data and the DIMM slots that are  
populated.  
2. Determine the common CAS latency that can be supported by the DIMMs.  
3. Determine the memory size for each DIMM and program the GMCH accordingly.  
4. Enable refresh  
5. Determine if the memory configuration will allow for 133MHz memory operation and  
program the memory clock and MCH (see note below)  
NOTE: The presence of PC133-compliant DIMMS will be indicated by BIOS reading  
75h from byte 9 and 64h or 85h from byte 126. For PC133 operation to occur the FSB of  
the processor must be running at 133 MHz and all installed DIMMs must be  
PC133-compliant and total no more than four “sides.” Refer to Chapter 3 for more details  
on PC133 operation.  
7.3.4 BOOT ERROR CODES  
The BIOS provides visual and audible indications of a failed system boot by using the keyboard  
LEDs and the system speaker. The error conditions are listed in the following table.

Translation Mode (IDE disks only)  
(continued)  
Configuration  
(continued)  
Lets you select the translation mode to be used for the  
device. This enables the BIOS to access disks partitioned  
and formatted on other systems and may be necessary for  
users of older versions of Unix (e.g., SCO Unix version 3.2).  
Options are Bit-Shift, LBA Assisted, User, and None.  
CAUTION: Ordinarily, the translation mode  
selected automatically by the BIOS should not

not compatible with the translation mode that  
was active when the disk was partitioned and  
formatted, the data on the disk will be  
inaccessible.  
Translation Parameters (IDE Disks only)  
Allows you to specify the parameters (logical cylinders,  
heads, and sectors per track) used by the BIOS to translate  
disk I/O requests (from the operating system or an  
application) into terms the hard drive can accept. Logical  
cylinders may not exceed 1024. The number of heads may  
not exceed 256. The number of sectors per track may not  
exceed 63. These fields are only visible and changeable  
when the drive translation mode is set to User.

Security  
(continued)  
Master Boot Record Security  
Allows user to enable or disable Master Boot  
Record (MBR) Security. When enabled, the BIOS  
rejects all requests to write to the MBR on the  
current bootable disk. Each time the computer is  
powered on or rebooted, the BIOS compares the  
MBR of the current bootable disk to the previously-  
saved MBR. If changes are detected, you are given  
the option of saving the MBR on the current  
bootable disk, restoring the previously-saved MBR,  
or disabling MBR Security. You must know the  
setup password, if one is set.  
Note: Disable MBR Security before intentionally  
changing the formatting or partitioning of the  
current bootable disk. Several disk utilities (such as  
FDISK and FORMAT) attempt to update the MBR.  
If MBR Security is enabled and disk accesses are  
being serviced by the BIOS, write requests to the  
MBR are rejected, causing the utilities to report  
errors. If MBR Security is enabled and disk  
accesses are being serviced by the operating  
system, any MBR change will be detected by the  
BIOS during the next reboot, and an MBR Security  
warning message will be displayed.  
Save Master Boot Record  
Saves a backup copy of the Master Boot Record of  
the current bootable disk.  
Note: Only appears if MBR Security is enabled.  
Restores the backup Master Boot Record to the  
current bootable disk.  
Restore Master Boot Record  
Note: Only appears if all of the following conditions  
are true:  
MBR Security is enabled  
A backup copy of the MBR has been previously  
saved  
The current bootable disk is the same disk from  
which the backup copy of the MBR was saved.  
Device Security  
Enables/disables serial, parallel, and USB ports  
and audio security.  
Network Service Boot  
Enables/disables the computer’s ability to boot from  
an operating system installed on a network server.

7.5.3 TEMPERATURE STATUS  
The BIOS includes a function (INT15, AX=E816h) to retrieve the status of a system’s interior  
temperature. This function allows an application to check whether the temperature situation is at a  
Normal, Caution, or Critical condition.  
7.5.4 DRIVE FAULT PREDICTION  
The Compaq BIOS directly supports Drive Fault Prediction for IDE-type hard drives. This feature  
is provided through two Client Management BIOS calls. Function INT 15, AX=E817h is used to  
retrieve a 512-byte block of drive attribute data while the INT 15, AX=E81Bh is used to retrieve  
the drive’s warranty threshold data. If data is returned indicating possible failure then the  
following message is displayed:  
“1720-SMART Hard Drive detects imminent failure”

The BIOS call INT 15, AX=E841h, BH=01h can be used by an application to retrieve the default  
settings of PnP devices for the user. The application should use the following steps for the display  
function:  
1. Call PnP function 01(get System Device Node) for each devnode with bit 1 of the control flag  
set (get static configuration) and save the results.  
2. Call INT 15, AX=E841h, BH=01h.  
3. Call PnP “Get Static Configuration” for each devnode and display the defaults.  
4. If the user chooses to save the configuration, no further action is required. The system board  
devices will be configured at the next boot. If the user wants to abandon the changes, then the  
application must call PnP function 02 (Set System Device Node) for each devnode (with bit 1  
of the control flag set for static configuration) with the results from the calls made prior to  
invoking this function.

7.7  
POWER MANAGEMENT FUNCTIONS  
The BIOS ROM provides three types of power management support: independent PM support;  
APM support, and ACPI support.  
7.7.1 INDEPENDENT PM SUPPORT  
The BIOS can provide power management (PM) of the system independently from an operating  
system that doesn’t support APM (including DOS, Unix, NT & older versions of OS/2). In the  
Independent PM environment the BIOS and hardware timers determine when to switch the system  
to a different power state. State switching is not reported to the OS.  
7.7.1.1 Staying Awake In Independent PM  
There are two "Time-out to Standy" timers used in independent PM: the System Timer  
and the IDE Hard Drive Timer.  
System Timer  
In POST, the BIOS enables a timer in the ICH that generates an SMI once per minute. When the  
BIOS detects the SMI it checks status bits in the ICH for device activity. If any of the device  
activity status bits are set at the time of the 1-minute SMI, BIOS resets the time-out minute  
countdown. The system timer can be configured through the Setup utility for counting down 0, 5,  
10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 120, 180, or 240 minutes. The following devices are checked for  
activity:  
Keyboard  
Mouse  
Serial port(s)  
Parallel port  
IDE primary controller  
NOTE: The secondary controller is NOT included. This is done to support auto-  
sense of a CD-ROM insertion (auto-run) in case Windows or NT is running.  
Note also that SCSI drive management is the responsibility of the SCSI driver.  
Any IDE hard drive access resets the hard drive timer.  
IDE Hard Drive Timer  
During POST, an inactivity timer each IDE hard drive is set to control hard drive spin down.  
Although this activity is independent of the system timer, the system will not go to sleep until the  
primary IDE controller has been inactive for the system time-out time. The hard drive timer can  
be configured through the Setup utility for being disabled or counting down 10, 15, 20, 30, 60,  
120, 180, or 240 minutes, after which time the hard drive will spin down.

Chapter 7 BIOS ROM  
7.7.1.2 Going to Sleep in Independent PM  
When a time-out timer expires, Standby for that timer occurs.  
System Standby  
When the system acquires the Standby mode the BIOS blanks the screen. Since the hard  
drive inactivity timer is in the drive and triggered by drive access, the system can be in  
Standby with the hard drives still spinning (awake).  
NOTE: The BIOS does not turn the fan(s) off (as on previous products).  
IDE Hard Drive Standby  
During hard drive standby the platters stop spinning. Depending on drive type, some hard drives  
will also cut power to some of the drive electronics that are not needed. The drives can be in this  
state with the system still awake.  
7.7.1.3 Suspend  
Suspend is not supported in the Independent PM mode.  
7.7.1.4 System OFF  
When the system is turned Off but still plugged into a live AC outlet the NIC, ICH2, and I/O  
components continue to receive auxiliary power in order to power-up as the result of a Magic  
Packet™ being received over a network. Some NICs are able to wake up a system from Standby  
in PM, most require their Windows/NT driver to reset them after one wake-up.  
7.7.1.5 Waking Up in Independent PM  
Activity of either of the following devices will cause the system to wake up with the screen  
restored:  
Keyboard  
Mouse (if driver installed)  
The hard drive will not spin up until it is accessed. Any hard drive access will cause it to wake up  
and resume spinning. Since the BIOS returns to the currently running software, it is possible for  
the drive to spin up while the system is in Standby with the screen blanked.

7.7.2 ACPI SUPPORT  
This system meets the hardware and firmware requirements for being ACPI compliant.  
This system supports the following ACPI functions:  
PM timer  
Power button  
Power button override  
RTC alarm  
Sleep/Wake logic (S1,S3, S4 (Windows 2000), S5)  
C1 state (Halt)  
PCI Power Management Event (PME)  
7.7.3 APM 1.2 SUPPORT  
Advanced Power Management (APM) is an extension of power management. In APM, the O/S  
decides when a transition to another power state should occur. If going to Standby or Suspend, it  
notifies all APM-aware drivers requesting approval for the state change. If all drivers approve (the  
BIOS is not involved in this process) each is instructed to go to that state, then the BIOS is told to  
go to that state. All versions of Windows, later versions of OS/2 and Linux support APM. . The  
BIOS ROM for these systems support APM 1.2  
The APM functions are initialized when the O/S loads. An INT 15h call is made to see if APM is  
supported by the BIOS, and at what level (1.0, 1.1 or 1.2). After that, the O/S gets a 32-bit address  
from the BIOS ROM so it can subsequently make 32 bit protected mode calls to access the  
different APM functions in the ROM.  
Table 8-6 lists all the APM calls that the O/S can make to the BIOS. These functions are the major  
difference between PM and APM.

APM BIOS Functions  
Description  
APM BIOS Function  
APM Installation Check  
Allows the O/S to determine if the system's BIOS supports  
the APM functionality and if so, which version of the  
specification it supports. The APM version number  
returned from this call is the highest level of APM  
supported by the BIOS.  
APM Real Mode Interface  
Connect  
Establishes the cooperative interface between the O/S and the  
BIOS. The BIOS provides OEM-defined power management  
functionality before the interface is established. Once the interface  
is established, the BIOS and the O/S Driver coordinate power  
management activities. The BIOS rejects an interface connect  
request if any real or protected mode connection already exists.  
Initializes the 16-bit protected mode interface between the O/S and  
the BIOS. This interface allows a protected mode caller to invoke  
the BIOS functions without first switching into real or virtual-86  
mode. This function must be invoked in real mode. This is not  
currently used by any O/S.  
APM Protected Mode 16-bit  
APM Protected Mode 32-bit  
APM Interface Disconnect  
Iinitializes the 32-bit protected mode interface between the O/S and  
the BIOS. This interface allows a protected mode O/S to invoke the  
BIOS functions without the need to first switch into real or virtual-86  
mode. This function must be invoked in real mode.  
Breaks the cooperative connection between the BIOS and the O/S,  
and returns control of the power management policy to the BIOS.  
Power management parameter values (timer values, enable/disable  
settings, etc.) in effect at the time of the disconnect remain in effect.  
The O/S uses this call to tell BIOS that the system is idle.  
Informs the BIOS that the O/S has determined that the system is  
now busy. The BIOS should restore the CPU clock rate to full  
speed.  
CPU Idle  
CPU Busy  
Set Power State  
Sets the system or device specified in the power device ID into the  
requested power state.  
Enable/Disable Power  
Management  
Enables or disables all APM BIOS automatic power management.  
When disabled, the BIOS does not automatically power manage  
devices, enter the Standby State, enter the Suspend State, or take  
power saving steps in response to CPU Idle calls.  
Restore Power-On Defaults  
Get Power Status  
Re-initializes all power-on defaults.  
This call returns the system current power status.  
Get PM Event  
Returns the next pending PM event, or indicates if no PM events  
are pending.  
Get Power State  
Enable/Disable Device PM  
Returns the device power state when a specific device ID is used.  
Enables or disables APM BIOS automatic power management for a  
specified device. When disabled, the APM BIOS does not  
automatically power manage the device.  
APM Driver Version  
Engage/Disengage PM  
Get Capabilities  
The O/S uses this call to indicate its level of APM support to the  
BIOS. The BIOS returns the APM connection version number.  
Engages or disengages cooperative power management of the  
system or device.  
Returns the features which this particular APM 1.2 BIOS  
implementation supports.  
Get/Set/Disable Resume  
Timer  
This call gets, sets, or disables the system resume timer.  
Enable/Disable Resume on  
Ring  
Enable/Disable Timer Based  
Request  
Enables or disables the system's resume on ring indicator  
functionality. It also returns the enabled/disabled status.  
Enables or disables the BIOS's generation of global Standby and  
global Suspend requests based on inactivity timers.

7.7.3.1 Staying Awake in APM  
There are two "Time-out to Standby" timers used in APM: the System Timer and the IDE  
had Drive Timer.  
System Timer  
In POST, the ROM enables a timer in the ICH2 that generates an SMI once per minute.  
When the ROM gets the SMI it checks status bits in the ICH2 for activity at any of the  
following devices:  
Keyboard  
Mouse  
Serial port(s)  
Parallel port  
IDE primary controller  
NOTE: The secondary controller is NOT included in order to support auto-  
sense of a CD-ROM insertion (auto-run) in case Windows or NT is running.  
Note also that management of SCSI drives is the responsibility of the SCSI  
driver. Any IDE hard drive access resets the hard drive timer.  
If any of the activity status bits are set when the ROM gets the 1-minute SMI, it resets its  
time-out minute countdown according to the value (0 (default), 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 50,  
60, 120, 180, or 240 minutes) selected in the Setup utility (F10).  
IDE Hard Drive Timer  
During POST, an inactivity timer in the IDE hard drive controller is set to control hard  
drive spin down. This activity is independent of the system timer. The BIOS will not  
inform the O/S that it is time to go to sleep until there has been no IDE primary activity  
for the system time-out time. The IDE hard drive will spin down when its timer expires  
according to the countdown time (0 (disabled), 10, 15, 20, 30, 60, 120, 180, or 240  
minutes) selected in the Setup utility (F10).  
NOTE: The O/S (Win98 and later) can use the "Enable/Disable Timer Based Request"  
APM BIOS call to disable the system timer the BIOS uses so that the O/S can have direct  
control of the timing.

Chapter 7 BIOS ROM  
7.7.3.2 Going to Sleep in APM  
There are three levels of system sleep in APM: System/Hard Drive Standby, System  
Suspend, and System Off.  
System/Hard Drive Standby  
System Standby is achieved only by a system timer time-out, at such time the following  
occurs:  
1. All APM-aware device drivers put their respective devices into “Device Standby.”  
2. The O/S makes a BIOS call to go into System Standby.  
NOTE: The BIOS ROM of these systems will not turn the fan(s) off as on  
previous systems).  
If the hard drive timer times out due to inactivity the hard drive motor stops spinning the  
platters. Depending on drive type, some drives can cut power to some of the drive  
electronics that are not needed during standby. The drive(s) can be in this state with the  
system still awake. Since the hard drive timer is in the hard drive controller and triggered  
by drive access, the system can be in Standby with the hard drive(s) still spinning  
(awake).  
System Suspend  
System Suspend is invoked by pressing and releasing the power switch in under four  
seconds (pressing and holding the switch longer that four seconds will turn the system  
off).. The system does not time-out from Standby into Suspend.  
Upon invoking Suspend, the following actions occur:  
1. All APM-aware device drivers put their associated devices into “Device Standby.”  
2. The O/S makes a BIOS call to go into Standby, and the BIOS:  
a. Spins down the IDE drives  
b. Halts the processor. The processor remains halted until the next 55ms tick from  
the RTC.  
c. At the 55ms tick of the RTC the processor executes a BIOS routine to check to  
see if anything has happened to wake the system up. If not, the processor is  
halted again.  
d. Steps B and C are repeated until a wake-up event occurs.  
NOTE: These systems will not turn the fan(s) off as in previous systems.

Technical Reference Guide  
System OFF  
There are two ways to turn the system off:  
1. Software shut-down as directed by the O/S. This, being the normal procedure, allows  
a NIC driver to re-arm the NIC for a Magic Packet™  
2. Press and hold the power button for longer than 4 seconds (not recommended unless  
necessary).  
7.7.3.3 Waking Up in APM  
Any of the following activities will cause the system to wake up:  
Keyboard  
Mouse  
Ring Indicate  
RTC alarm  
Magic Packet  
The hard drive will not spin up until it is accessed. Any hard drive access will cause it to  
wake up and resume spinning. Since the BIOS returns to the currently running software,  
it is possible for the drive to spin up while the system is in Standby with the screen  
blanked.  
7.8  
USB LEGACY SUPPORT  
The BIOS ROM checks the USB port, during POST, for the presence of a USB keyboard. This  
allows a system with only a USB keyboard to be used during ROM-based setup and also on a  
system with an OS that does not include a USB driver.  
On such a system a keystroke will generate an SMI and the SMI handler will retrieve the data  
from the device and convert it to PS/2 data. The data will be passed to the keyboard controller and  
processed as in the PS/2 interface. Changing the delay and/or typematic rate of a USB keyboard  
though BIOS function INT 16 is not supported.

ASCII CHARACTER SET  
B.1 INTRODUCTION  
This appendix lists, in Table B-1, the 256-character ASCII code set including the decimal and  
hexadecimal values. All ASCII symbols may be called while in DOS or using standard text-mode  
editors by using the combination keystroke of holding the Alt key and using the Numeric Keypad  
to enter the decimal value of the symbol. The extended ASCII characters (decimals 128-255) can  
only be called using the Alt + Numeric Keypad keys.  
NOTE: Regarding keystrokes, refer to notes at the end of the table. Applications may interpret  
multiple keystroke accesses differently or ignore them completely.

KEYBOARD  
C.1 INTRODUCTION  
This appendix describes the Compaq keyboard that is included as standard with the system unit.  
The keyboard complies with the industry-standard classification of an “enhanced keyboard” and  
includes a separate cursor control key cluster, twelve “function” keys, and enhanced  
programmability for additional functions.  
This appendix covers the following keyboard types:  
Standard enhanced keyboard.  
Space-Saver Windows-version keyboard featuring additional keys for specific support of the  
Windows operating system.  
Easy Access keyboard with additional buttons for internet accessibility functions.  
Only one type of keyboard is supplied with each system. Other types may be available as an  
option.  
NOTE: This appendix discusses only the keyboard unit. The keyboard interface is a  
function of the system unit and is discussed in Chapter 5, Input/Output Interfaces.  
Topics covered in this appendix include the following:  
Keystroke processing (C.2)  
Connectors (C.3)

Appendix C Keyboard  
C.2 KEYSTROKE PROCESSING  
A functional block diagram of the keystroke processing elements is shown in Figure C-1. Power  
(+5 VDC) is obtained from the system through the PS/2-type interface. The keyboard uses a  
Z86C14 (or equivalent) microprocessor. The Z86C14 scans the key matrix drivers every 10 ms for  
pressed keys while at the same time monitoring communications with the keyboard interface of  
the system unit. When a key is pressed, a Make code is generated. A Break code is generated  
when the key is released. The Make and Break codes are collectively referred to as scan codes. All  
keys generate Make and Break codes with the exception of the Pause key, which generates a  
Make code only.

Figure C–1. Keystroke Processing Elements, Block Diagram  
When the system is turned on, the keyboard processor generates a Power-On Reset (POR) signal  
after a period of 150 ms to 2 seconds. The keyboard undergoes a Basic Assurance Test (BAT)  
that checks for shorted keys and basic operation of the keyboard processor. The BAT takes from  
300 to 500 ms to complete.  
If the keyboard fails the BAT, an error code is sent to the CPU and the keyboard is disabled until  
an input command is received. After successful completion of the POR and BAT, a completion  
code (AAh) is sent to the CPU and the scanning process begins.  
The keyboard processor includes a 16-byte FIFO buffer for holding scan codes until the system is  
ready to receive them. Response and typematic codes are not buffered. If the buffer is full (16  
bytes held) a 17th byte of a successive scan code results in an overrun condition and the overrun  
code replaces the scan code byte and any additional scan code data (and the respective key  
strokes) are lost. Multi-byte sequences must fit entirely into the buffer before the respective  
keystroke can be registered.

C.2.1 PS/2-TYPE KEYBOARD TRANSMISSIONS  
The PS/2-type keyboard sends two main types of data to the system; commands (or responses to  
system commands) and keystroke scan codes. Before the keyboard sends data to the system  
(specifically, to the 8042-type logic within the system), the keyboard verifies the clock and data  
lines to the system. If the clock signal is low (0), the keyboard recognizes the inhibited state and  
loads the data into a buffer. Once the inhibited state is removed, the data is sent to the system.  
Keyboard-to-system transfers (in the default mode) consist of 11 bits as shown in Figure C-2.

Figure C–2. PS/2 Keyboard-To-System Transmission, Timing Diagram  
The system can halt keyboard transmission by setting the clock signal low. The keyboard checks  
the clock line every 60 us to verify the state of the signal. If a low is detected, the keyboard will  
finish the current transmission if the rising edge of the clock pulse for the parity bit has not  
occurred. The system uses the same timing relationships during reads (typically with slightly  
reduced time periods).  
The enhanced keyboard has three operating modes:  
Mode 1 - PC-XT compatible  
Mode 2 - PC-AT compatible (default)  
Mode 3 - Select mode (keys are programmable as to make-only, break-only, typematic)  
Modes can be selected by the user or set by the system. Mode 2 is the default mode. Each mode  
produces a different set of scan codes. When a key is pressed, the keyboard processor sends that  
key’s make code to the 8042 logic of the system unit. The When the key is released, a release  
code is transmitted as well (except for the Pause key, which produces only a make code). The  
8042-type logic of the system unit responds to scan code reception by asserting IRQ1, which is  
processed by the interrupt logic and serviced by the CPU with an interrupt service routine. The  
service routine takes the appropriate action based on which key was pressed.

Appendix C Keyboard  
C.2.2 USB-TYPE KEYBOARD TRANSMISSIONS  
The USB-type keyboard sends essentially the same information to the system that the PS/2  
keyboard does except that the data receives additional NRZI encoding and formatting (prior to  
leaving the keyboard) to comply with the USB I/F specification (discussed in chapter 5 of this  
guide).  
Packets received at the system’s USB I/F and decoded as originating from the keyboard result in  
an SMI being generated. An SMI handler routine is invoked that decodes the data and transfers  
the information to the 8042 keyboard controller where normal (legacy) keyboard processing takes  
place.

C.2.4 KEYS  
All keys generate a make code (when pressed) and a break code (when released) with the  
exception of the Pause key (pos. 16), which produces a make code only. All keys with the  
exception of the Pause and Easy Access keys are also typematic, although the typematic action  
of the Shift, Ctrl, Alt, Num Lock, Scroll Lock, Caps Lock, and Ins keys is suppressed by the  
BIOS. Typematic keys, when held down longer than 500 ms, send the make code repetitively at a  
10-12 Hz rate until the key is released. If more than one key is held down, the last key pressed  
will be typematic.  
C.2.4.1 Special Single-Keystroke Functions  
The following keys provide the intended function in most applications and environments.  
Caps Lock - The Caps Lock key (pos. 59), when pressed and released, invokes a BIOS  
routine that turns on the caps lock LED and shifts into upper case key positions 40-49, 60-68,  
and 76-82. When pressed and released again, these keys revert to the lower case state and the  
LED is turned off. Use of the Shift key will reverse which state these keys are in based on the  
Caps Lock key.  
Num Lock - The Num Lock key (pos. 32), when pressed and released, invokes a BIOS routine  
that turns on the num lock LED and shifts into upper case key positions 55-57, 72-74, 88-90,  
100, and 101. When pressed and released again, these keys revert to the lower case state and the  
LED is turned off.  
The following keys provide special functions that require specific support by the application.  
Print Scrn - The Print Scrn (pos. 14) key can, when pressed, generate an interrupt that initiates  
a print routine. This function may be inhibited by the application.  
Scroll Lock - The Scroll Lock key (pos. 15) when pressed and released, , invokes a BIOS  
routine that turns on the scroll lock LED and inhibits movement of the cursor. When pressed and  
released again, the LED is turned off and the function is removed. This keystroke is always  
serviced by the BIOS (as indicated by the LED) but may be inhibited or ignored by the  
application.  
Pause - The Pause (pos. 16) key, when pressed, can be used to cause the keyboard interrupt to  
loop, i.e., wait for another key to be pressed. This can be used to momentarily suspend an  
operation. The key that is pressed to resume operation is discarded. This function may be ignored  
by the application.  
The Esc, Fn (function), Insert, Home, Page Up/Down, Delete, and End keys operate at the  
discretion of the application software.

C.2.4.2  
Multi-Keystroke Functions  
Shift - The Shift key (pos. 75/86), when held down, produces a shift state (upper case) for keys in  
positions 17-29, 30, 39-51, 60-70, and 76-85 as long as the Caps Lock key (pos. 59) is toggled  
off. If the Caps Lock key is toggled on, then a held Shift key produces the lower (normal) case  
for the identified pressed keys. The Shift key also reverses the Num Lock state of key positions  
55-57, 72, 74, 88-90, 100, and 101.  
Ctrl - The Ctrl keys (pos. 92/96) can be used in conjunction with keys in positions 1-13, 16, 17-  
34, 39-54, 60-71, and 76-84. The application determines the actual function. Both Ctrl key  
positions provide identical functionality. The pressed combination of Ctrl and Break (pos. 16)  
results in the generation of BIOS function INT 1Bh. This software interrupt provides a method of  
exiting an application and generally halts execution of the current program.  
Alt - The Alt keys (pos. 93/95) can be used in conjunction with the same keys available for use  
with the Ctrl keys with the exception that position 14 (SysRq) is available instead of position 16  
(Break). The Alt key can also be used in conjunction with the numeric keypad keys (pos. 55-57,  
72-74, and 88-90) to enter the decimal value of an ASCII character code from 1-255. The  
application determines the actual function of the keystrokes. Both Alt key positions provide  
identical functionality. The combination keystroke of Alt and SysRq results in software interrupt  
15h, AX=8500h being executed. It is up to the application to use or not use this BIOS function.  
The Ctrl and Alt keys can be used together in conjunction with keys in positions 1-13, 17-34, 39-  
54, 60-71, and 76-84. The Ctrl and Alt key positions used and the sequence in which they are  
pressed make no difference as long as they are held down at the time the third key is pressed. The  
Ctrl, Alt, and Delete keystroke combination (required twice if in the Windows environment)  
initiates a system reset (warm boot) that is handled by the BIOS.  
C.2.4.3 Windows Keystrokes  
Windows-enhanced keyboards include three additional key positions. Key positions 110 and 111  
(marked with the Windows logo  
) have the same functionality and are used by themselves or  
in combination with other keys to perform specific “hot-key” type functions for the Windows  
operating system. The defined functions of the Windows logo keys are listed as follows:

C.2.6 SCAN CODES  
The scan codes generated by the keyboard processor are determined by the mode the keyboard is  
operating in.  
Mode 1:  
In Mode 1 operation, the keyboard generates scan codes compatible with 8088-  
/8086-based systems. To enter Mode 1, the scan code translation function of the keyboard  
controller must be disabled. Since translation is not performed, the scan codes generated in  
Mode 1 are identical to the codes required by BIOS. Mode 1 is initiated by sending command  
F0h with the 01h option byte. Applications can obtain system codes and status information by  
using BIOS function INT 16h with AH=00h, 01h, and 02h.  
Mode 2:  
Mode 2 is the default mode for keyboard operation. In this mode, the 8042 logic  
translates the make codes from the keyboard processor into the codes required by the BIOS.  
This mode was made necessary with the development of the Enhanced III keyboard, which  
includes additional functions over earlier standard keyboards. Applications should use BIOS  
function INT 16h, with AH=10h, 11h, and 12h for obtaining codes and status data. In Mode  
2, the keyboard generates the Break code, a two-byte sequence that consists of a Make code  
immediately preceded by F0h (i.e., Break code for 0Eh is “F0h 0Eh”).  
Mode 3:  
Mode 3 generates a different scan code set from Modes 1 and 2. Code  
translation must be disabled since translation for this mode cannot be done.

C.3 CONNECTORS  
Two types of keyboard interfaces are used in Compaq systems: PS/2-type and USB-type. System  
units that provide a PS/2 connector will ship with a PS/2-type keyboard but may also support  
simultaneous connection of a USB keyboard. Systems that do not provide a PS/2 interface will  
ship with a USB keyboard. For a detailed description of the PS/2 and USB interfaces refer to  
chapter 5 “Input/Output” of this guide. The keyboard cable connectors and their pinouts are

D.4 SOFTWARE SUPPORT INFORMATION  
The Compaq/NVIDIA Vanta LT Pro graphics card is fully compatible with software written for  
legacy video modes (VGA, EGA, CGA) and needs no driver support for those modes.  
Drivers are provided with or available for the card to provide extended mode support for the  
current operating systems and programming environments such as:  
Windows 98, 95  
Windows NT 4.0, 3.51  
Windows 3.11, 3.1  
OS/2  
Quick Draw  
MS Direct Draw and Direct X  
Direct 3D  
OpenGL  
D.5 POWER MANAGEMENT AND CONSUMPTION  
This controller provides monitor power control for monitors that conform to the VESA display  
power management signaling (DPMS) protocol. This protocol defines different power  
consumption conditions and uses the HSYNC and VSYNC signals to select a monitor’s power  
condition. Table I-2 lists the monitor power conditions.  
Table D-2.  
Monitor Power Management Conditions  
HSYNC  
VSYNC  
Power Mode  
Description  
Active  
Active  
On  
Monitor is completely powered up. If activated, the inactivity  
counter counts down during system inactivity and if allowed to  
tiemout, generates an SMI to initiate the Suspend mode.  
Monitor’s high voltage section is turned off and CRT heater  
(filament) voltage is reduced from 6.6 to 4.4 VDC. The Off mode  
inactivity timer counts down from the preset value and if allowed  
to timeout, another SMI is generated and serviced, resulting in  
the monitor being placed into the Off mode. Wake up from  
Suspend mode is typically a few seconds.  
Active  
Inactive  
Inactive  
Suspend  
Inactive  
Off  
Monitor’s high voltage section and heater circuitry is turned off.  
Wake up from Off mode is a little longer than from Suspend.  
The graphics card’s maximum power consumption on the AGP bus is listed below:  
Typical current draw @ 3.3 VDC: 1.5 A  
Typical current draw @ 5.0 VDC: 50 mA

E.5 POWER MANAGEMENT AND CONSUMPTION  
This controller provides monitor power control for monitors that conform to the VESA display  
power management signaling (DPMS) protocol. This protocol defines different power  
consumption conditions and uses the HSYNC and VSYNC signals to select a monitor’s power  
condition. Table E-2 lists the monitor power conditions.

Monitor is completely powered up. If activated, the inactivity  
counter counts down during system inactivity and if allowed to  
timeout, generates an SMI to initiate the Suspend mode.  
Monitor’s high voltage section is turned off and CRT heater  
(filament) voltage is reduced from 6.6 to 4.4 VDC. The Off mode  
inactivity timer counts down from the preset value and if allowed  
to timeout, another SMI is generated and serviced, resulting in  
the monitor being placed into the Off mode. Wake up from  
Suspend mode is typically a few seconds.

COMPAQ/ADAPTEC 29160N SCSI HOST ADAPTER  
G.1 INTRODUCTION  
The Compaq/Adaptec 29160N SCSI Host Adapter (Compaq SP# 158364-001) is a PCI peripheral  
that provides high performance interfacing with compatible SCSI peripherals, typically SCSI hard  
drives. The card installs in a PCI slot and supports full bus mastering capability.

Appendix G Compaq/Adaptec 29160N SCSI Host Adapter  
G.2 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION  
A block diagram of the SCSI Adapter is shown in Figure L-2. The adapter’s architecture is based  
on the AIC-7892 SCSI controller working off the 32-bit, 66-/33-MHz PCI bus. Providing full bus  
mastering capability, the adapter supports data transfers up to 266 MB/s using the burst mode rate  
on a 66-MHz 32-bit PCI bus. The AIC-7892 controller is an Ultra160 controller with an on-board  
20-MIPS SCSI sequencer that can process SCSI commands without intervention from the host  
microprocessor. The sequencer uses micro-code that is downloaded from the host during  
initialization. Single-ended SCSI drivers are built into the controller and a 1-K data FIFO and an  
internal 4-KB SRAM memory. An LED is provided to indicate SCSI bus activity.  
The AIC7892 provides a memory interface that is used by the Serial EEPROM and the BIOS  
ROM. The serial EEPROM stores non-volatile configuration data and the BIOS ROM (which is a  
flash ROM) contains additional configuration data and SCSI functions. The programmable array  
logic (PAL) controls the Serial EEPROM-to-AIC7892 interface.

The AIC7892 controller supports dual-mode low-voltage differential (LVD) SCSI I/O up to the  
Ultra160 data rate of 160 Mbytes. Both single-ended (SE) and LVD devices can co-exist on the  
SCSI bus, although operation will default to the SE mode. In SE mode, transfer rates are limited  
to the speed of the slower device. High-voltage differential (HVD) devices are supported for rates  
up to Ultra speeds.  
The AIC7892 also supports cyclic redundancy check (CRC) codes, an improvement over parity  
checking used earlier.

H.4 DISPLAY CONFIGURATION  
H.4.1 SINGLE-CARD CONFIGURATION  
The Matrox G200 MMS Quad-Head PCI Graphics Card supports multiple monitors through the  
use of adapter cables. The graphics card as ordered from Compaq comes with either an analog  
adapter cable or a digital adapter cable, depending on order number. The card supports the  
following display configurations:  
Up to four analog (RGB) monitors  
Up to four digital (DVI-compliant) monitors  
One or two analog monitors and one or two digital monitors (NOTE: An analog/digital "mix"  
requires ordering the appropriate other cable type (analog or digital)).  
H.4.2 MULTI-CARD CONFIGURATION WITH WINDOWS NT 4.0  
Multiple Matrox G200 MMS Quad-Head PCI Graphics Cards can be installed in a single system  
to increase the amount of video real estate. Up to 16 monitors can be driven by a system using  
four cards and running Windows NT 4.0.  
H.5 SOFTWARE SUPPORT INFORMATION  
The Matrox G200 MMS graphics card is fully compatible with software written for legacy video  
modes (VGA, EGA, CGA) and needs no driver support for those modes.

H.6 POWER MANAGEMENT AND CONSUMPTION  
This controller provides monitor power control for monitors that conform to the VESA display  
power management signaling (DPMS) protocol. This protocol defines different power  
consumption conditions and uses the HSYNC and VSYNC signals to select a monitor’s power  
condition. Table H-2 lists the monitor power conditions.  
Table H-2.  
Monitor Power Management Conditions  
HSYNC VSYNC  
Power Mode  
Description  
Active  
Active  
On  
Monitor is completely powered up. If activated, the inactivity  
counter counts down during system inactivity and if allowed to  
tiemout, generates an SMI to initiate the Suspend mode.  
Monitor’s high voltage section is turned off and CRT heater  
(filament) voltage is reduced from 6.6 to 4.4 VDC. The Off mode  
inactivity timer counts down from the preset value and if allowed  
to timeout, another SMI is generated and serviced, resulting in  
the monitor being placed into the Off mode. Wake up from  
Suspend mode is typically a few seconds.

Monitor’s high voltage section and heater circuitry is turned off.  
Wake up from Off mode is a little longer than from Suspend.

H.7 CONNECTORS  
There are four types of connectors associated with the graphics card; an analog monitor  
connector, digital monitor connector, adapter cable connectors and the card edge connector.  
NOTE: The graphic card’s edge connector mates with a PCI slot connector on the  
system board. This interface is described in chapter 4 of this guide.  
H.7.1 ADAPTER CABLE CONNECTOR  
A display or monitor cannot be attached directly to the graphics card. The graphics card includes  
two connectors for attaching adapter cables that are used to attach the monitor(s).
