Terminology
Attention: The term reserved describes certain signals, bits, and registers that should
not be changed. Use of reserved areas can cause compatibility problems, loss of data,
or permanent damage to the hardware. If you change the contents of a register,
preserve the state of the reserved bits. When possible, read the register first and
change only the bits that must be changed.
In this manual, some signals are represented in an all-capital-letter format
(-ACK). A minus sign in front of the signal indicates that the signal is active low. No
sign in front of the signal indicates that the signal is active high.
The term hex indicates a hexidecimal number.
When numerical modifiers such as K, M, and G are used, they typically indicate
powers of 2, not powers of 10. For example, 1 KB equals 1 024 bytes (210), 1 MB equals
1 048 576 bytes (220), and 1 GB, equals 1 073 741 824 bytes (230).
When expressing storage capacity, MB equals 1 000 KB (1 024 000). The value is
determned by counting the number of sectors and assuming thatevery two sectors
equals 1 KB.
Note: Depending on the operating system and other requirements, the storage
capacity available to you might vary.

premises need any additional telephony equipment, such as a splitter or a filter. Also
contact your Internet service provider (ISP) to determine if they provide service to
customers with ADSL.
ADSL modems work by using separately the individual four or six wires in the
standard RJ-11 telephone jack. The inner wires, or pairs of wires if there are six, carry
voice transmissions. The outer wires on either side carry data between your
computer and the Internet. One channel is data download; the other is data upload.
To learn more about ADSL modems, see the Understanding Your Personal Computer
publication for your personal computer model and type number. This publication is
Wake on LAN
The power supply of the computer supports the Wake on LAN feature. With the
Wake on LAN feature, the computer can be turned on when a specific LAN frame is

designed to allow concurrent operations on the PCI bus and IDE bus. The chip set is
capable of supporting PIO mode 0–4 devices and IDE DMA mode 0–3 devices. Ultra
DMA 66 transfers up to 66 Mbps using an ATA 66 cable.
The IDE devices receive their power through a four-position power cable containing
+5 V dc, +12 V dc, and ground voltage. As devices are added to the IDE interface,
designate one device as the master, or primary, device and another as the slave, or
subordinate, device. These designations are determined by switches or jumpers on
each device. There are two IDE ports, one designated Primary and the other
Secondary, allowing for up to four devices to be attached. The total number of
physical IDE devices is determined by available space on the system board.
For the IDE interface, no resource assignments are given in the system memory or the
direct memory access (DMA) channels. For information on the resource assignments,
see “Input/ output address map” on page 48 and “Appendix C. IRQ and DMA
channel assignments,” on page 53.
For information on the connector pin assignments, see “IDE connectors” on page 42.

The system board has one connector for the parallel port. For information on the
connector pin assignments, see “Parallel port connector” on page 46.
Keyboard and mouse ports
A general purpose 8-bit microcontroller, 8042AH compatible, controls the mouse and
keyboard subsystem. The controller consists of 256 bytes of data memory and 2 KB of
read-only memory (ROM).
The controller has two logical devices: one controls the keyboard and the other
controls the mouse. The keyboard has two fixed I/ O addresses, a fixed IRQ line, and
can operate without the mouse. The mouse cannot operate without the keyboard
because, although it has a fixed IRQ line, the mouse relies on the addresses of the
keyboard for operation. For the keyboard and mouse interfaces, no resource
assignments are given in the system memory addresses or DMA channels. For
information on the resource assignments, see “Input/ output address map” on page
48 and “Appendix C. IRQ and DMA channel assignments,” on page 53.
The system board has one connector for the keyboard port and one connector for the
mouse port. For information on the connector pin assignments, see “Mouse and
keyboard port connectors” on page 45.

and a dc return) latches all dc outputs into a shutdown state, with no damage to the
power supply. If this shutdown state occurs, the power supply returns to normal
operation only after the fault has been removed and the power switch has been
turned off for at least one second.
If an overvoltage fault occurs (in the power supply), the power supply latches all dc
outputs into a shutdown state before any output exceeds 130% of the power supply
value.
Connector description
The power supply for PC 300GL and PC 300PL personal computers has four, 4-pin
connectors for internal devices. The total power used by the connectors must not
exceed the amount shown in “Component outputs” on page 26. For connector pin
assignments, see “Appendix A. Connector pin assignments,” on page 33.

Configuration/Setup Utility program
The Configuration/ Setup Utility program provides menu choices for devices, I/ O
ports, date and time, system security, start options, advanced setup, and power
management.
More detailed information on using the Configuration/ Setup Utility program is in the
PC 300GL and PC 300PL User Guide.
Advanced Power Management (APM)
The PC 300GL computers have built-in energy-saving capabilities. Advanced Power
Management (APM) is a feature that reduces the power consumption of components
when they are not in use. When enabled, APM initiates reduced-power modes for the
monitor, microprocessor, and hard disk drive after a specified period of inactivity.
The BIOS supports APM 1.2. This enables the system to enter a power-management
state, reducing the power drawn from the AC electrical outlet. Advanced Power
Management is enabled through the Configuration/ Setup Utility program and is
controlled by the individual operating system.
For more information on APM, see the PC 300GL and PC 300PL User Guide and
Understanding Your Personal Computer.
Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI)
Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) BIOS mode enables the
operating system to control the power-management features of your computer. Not
all operating systems support ACPI BIOS mode. Refer to your operating-system
documentation to determine if ACPI is supported.
Flash update utility program
The flash update utility program is a stand-alone program to support flash updates.
This utility program updates the BIOS code and the machine readable information
(MRI) to different languages.
The latest version of the flash update utility program is available on the IBM Web site
at http:/ / www.ibm.com/ pc/ support and can be copied to a 3.5-inch diskette.
Diagnostic program
The diagnostic program that comes with PC 300PL and the PC 300GL personal
computers is provided as a startable IBM Enhanced Diagnostic diskette image on the
IBM Product Recovery CD or the Device Driver and IBM Enhanced Diagnostic CD. It runs
independently of the operating system. The user interface is WaterGate Software PC-
Doctor. The diagnostic program can also be downloaded from the following World
Wide Web page: http:/ / www.ibm.com/ pc/ support/ . For more information on the
diagnostic program, see the PC 300GL and PC 300PL User Guide.

Chapter 6. System compatibility
This chapter discusses some of the hardware, software, and BIOS compatibility issues
for the computer. See the Compatibility Report under, “Related publications” on page
vii for a list of compatible hardware and software options.
Hardware compatibility
This section discusses hardware, software, and BIOS compatibility that must be
considered when designing application programs.
The functional interfaces are compatible with the following interfaces:
•
•
Intel 8259 interrupt controllers (edge-triggered mode)
National Semiconductor NS16450 and NS126550A serial communications
controllers
•
Motorola MC146818 Time of Day Clock command and status (CMOS
reorganized)
•
•
Intel 8254 timer, driven from a 1.193 MHz clock (channels 0, 1, and 2)
Intel 8237 DMA controller, except for the Command and Request registers and
the Rotate and Mask functions; the Mode register is partially supported
•
•
•
•
Intel 8272 or 82077 diskette drive controllers
Intel 8042 keyboard controller at address hex 0060 and hex 0064
All video standards using VGA, EGA, CGA, MDA, and Hercules modes
Parallel printer ports (Parallel 1, Parallel 2, and Parallel 3) in compatibility mode
Use this information to develop application programs. Whenever possible, use the
BIOS as an interface to hardware to provide maximum compatibility and portability
of applications among systems.
Hardware interrupts
Hardware interrupts are level-sensitive for PCI interrupts. The interrupt controller
clears its in-service register bit when the interrupt routine sends and End-of-Interrupt
(EOI) command to the controller. The EOI command is sent regardless of whether the
incoming interrupt request to the controller is active or inactive.
The interrupt-in-progress latch is readable at an I/ O-address bit position. This latch is
read during the interrupt service routine and might be reset by the read operation or it
might require an explicit reset.
Note: For performance and latency considerations, designers might want to limit
the number of devices sharing an interrupt level.
With level-sensitive interrupts, the interrupt controller requires that the interrupt
request be inactive at the time the EOI command is sent; otherwise, a new interrupt
request will be detected. To avoid this, a level-sensitive interrupt handler must clear
the interrupt condition (usually by a read or write operation to an I/ O port on the
device causing the interrupt). After processing the interrupt, the interrupt handler:
1. Clears the interrupt
2. Waits one I/ O delay
© Copyright IBM Corp. 2000
31
3. Sends the EOI
4. Waits one I/ O delay
5. Enables the interrupt through the Set Interrupt Enable Flag command
Hardware interrupt IRQ9 is defined as the replacement interrupt level for the cascade
level IRQ2. Program interrupt sharing is implemented on IRQ2, interrupt hex 0A.
The following processing occurs to maintain compatibility with the IRQ2 used by IBM
Personal Computer products:
1. A device drives the interrupt request active on IRQ2 of the channel.
2. This interrupt request is mapped in hardware to IRQ9 input on the second
interrupt controller.
3. When the interrupt occurs, the system microprocessor passes control to the IRQ9
(interrupt hex 71) interrupt handler.
4. This interrupt handler performs an EOI command to the second interrupt
controller and passes control to the IRQ2 (interrupt hex 0A) interrupt handler.
5. This IRQ2 interrupt handler, when handling the interrupt, causes the device to
reset the interrupt request before performing an EOI command to the master
interrupt controller that finishes servicing the IRQ2 request.
Software compatibility
To maintain software compatibility, the interrupt polling mechanism that is used by
IBM Personal Computer products is retained. Software that interfaces with the reset
port for the IBM Personal Computer positive-edge interrupt sharing (hex address
02Fx or 06Fx, where x is the interrupt level) does not create interference.
Software interrupts
With the advent of software interrupt sharing, software interrupt routines must daisy
chain interrupts. Each routine must check the function value, and if the function
value is not in the range of function calls, that routine must transfer control to the next
routine in the chain. Because software interrupts are initially pointed to address 0:0
before daisy chaining, check for this case. If the next routine is pointed to address 0:0
and the function call is out of range, the appropriate action is to set the carry flag and
initiate a RET 2 to indicate an error condition.
Machine-sensitive programs
Programs can select machine-specific features, but they must first identify the
machine and model type. IBM has defined methods for uniquely determining the
specific machine type. The machine model byte can be found through interrupt 15H,
Return System Configuration Parameters function (AH)=(C0H).

The following charts represent how the hard disk stores different types of
information. Address ranges and byte sizes are approximate.
System memory map
The first 640 KB of system board RAM is mapped starting at address hex 0000000. A
256 byte area and a 1 KB area of this RAM are reserved for BIOS data areas. Memory
can be mapped differently if POST detects an error.

Appendix D. Error codes
Complete lists of POST and beep error codes are provided in the PC300GL and PC
300PL User Guide and in the Hardware Maintenance Manual.
POST error codes
POST error messages appear when, during startup, POST finds problems with the
hardware or a change in the hardware configuration. POST error messages are 3-, 4-,
5-, 8-, or 12-character alphanumeric messages.
Beep codes
Beep codes are a series of tones in sets of two or three that sound when there are POST
errors. The beep pattern represents numeric values and provides further information
about the location of a potential problem.
The Hardware Maintenance Manual provides a complete list of beep codes.
