Aptiva - Product Description
Applicable to: World-Wide
Product Description:
This document contains service information for the Service Level A ( SL-A ) model of the IBM Aptiva Personal Computer, worldwide.
- The Machine Type 2134 contains slots for three adapter cards and bays for four input/output devices (drives)
- The Machine Type 2176 contains slots for seven adapter cards and bays for six input/output devices (drives).
VESA Local Bus Note:
The VESA local bus connector generally conforms to the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) VL-Bus Specification 2.0 (32 bit). Local bus adapter cards vary in degree of adherence to this standard. Therefore, IBM cannot guarantee that all available local bus option cards will perform according to manufacturer's claims.
The Type 2134 and 2176 will support Internal or External video, but not both simultaneously.
Security:
Power-on password
System Boards:
Two system boards are available: Type A-1 and Type A-2. See - 'System Board Layout' -- Type A-1 and - 'System Board Layout -Type A-2' - for system board jumper and connector locations.
The Type A-1 system board supports the Pentium processor and has the following features:
a. P54C socket 7-ZIF connector. You must remove the old processor to install an upgrade processor.
b. 16 KB internal cache memory, and also supports up to 512 KB external cache.
c. Shared frame buffer of 1 MB or 2 MB of video DRAM. Shared frame buffer utilizes the Unified Memory Architecture which uses the SIMM memory for both system and video. User selection of 1 MB or 2 MB for video memory is available from the system
setup.
d. Four, 72-pin system memory module sockets support these memory modules:
- 4 MB, 8 MB, 16 MB, or 32 MB SIMM modules.
- Parity (36 bit) or Non-Parity (32 bit) memory SIMMs.

- Tin-lead contacts.
- Fast page mode or extended data out (EDO).
- Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM).
Depending on model, 8 MB, 12 MB, or 16 MB of system memory is supplied. Maximum system board memory is 128 MB.
e. Ports:
video, parallel, serial (two), keyboard, and mouse.
f. Connectors for:
- PCI/ISA riser card (2x106-pin)

Note:
Enhanced IDE for the Type A-1 system board supports up to Mode 4. Mode 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. are the progressive industry levels for Enhanced IDE.
- Power light-emitting diode (LED)/hard disk LED (4-pin)
g. Power-on switch 2-wire connector and a power supply auxiliary control 3-wire connector for Rapid Resume features.
h. Wake Up on Ring connector for Rapid Resume automatic wake-up features.
i. 12 volt speaker power connector.
j. Lithium battery.
The Type A-2 system board supports Pentium processors and has the following features:
a. P54C socket 7-ZIF connector. You must remove the old processor to install an upgrade processor.
b. 16 KB internal cache memory, and also supports an optional 256 KB or 512 KB external cache modules.
c. 2 MB Video DRAM soldered on the system board.
d. Four, 72-pin system memory module sockets support these memory modules:
- 4 MB, 8 MB, 16 MB, or 32 MB SIMM modules.
- Parity (36 bit) or Non-Parity (32 bit) memory SIMMs.
- Memory speed of 60 nanoseconds (ns).
- Tin-lead contacts.
- Fast page mode or extended data out (EDO).
- Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM).
e. One, 168-pin Gold, EDO, 60 ns, Parity or Non-Parity DIMM module.
Depending on model, 7 MB, 14 MB, 16 MB, or 24 MB of system memory is supplied. Maximum system board memory is 128 MB.
f. Ports:
serial, USB (Universal Serial Bus), parallel, keyboard, mouse, and video.
g. Connectors for:
- PCI/ISA riser card (212-pin)
- VESA Video Feature (2x20 un-shrouded)
- Input power (12-pin)
- AT diskette drives (34-pin)
- Two 40-pin Enhanced IDE drive controllers: a primary local bus IDE that supports two hard disk drives and a secondary Enhanced IDE that supports a CD-ROM drive and one hard disk drive, or two hard disk drives.
Note:
Enhanced IDE for the Type A-2 system board supports up to Mode 4. Mode 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. are the progressive industry levels for Enhanced IDE.
