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.

This computer will support Internal or External video, but not both simultaneously.

Security: Power-on password.

System Board: One system board is available for the Aptiva Type 2162 computer.

The system board supports Pentium processors and has the following features:

Socket 7-ZIF connector for P54C or P55C processor. You must remove the old processor to install an upgrade processor.

16 KB internal cache memory, and also supports an optional 256 KB or 512 KB external cache modules.
2 MB Video DRAM soldered on the system board.

An additional 2 MB of video memory can be installed for a total of 4 MB of video memory. The 2MB of video memory upgrade must have the following specifications:
- 2 MB SGRAM ATI for 3D Rage 2
- 83 MHz (-12 ns) or 100 MHz (-10 ns)
- 3.3 V dc
- Dual (2X27 headers with 0.1-inch pin pitch and 2.65-inch header separation.
Two, 168-pin Gold, EDO, Unbuffered, Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory (SDRAM) DIMM module sockets.

Depending on model, 16 MB or 32 MB of system memory is supplied. Maximum system board memory is 64 MB.
Ports: serial, USB (Universal Serial Bus), parallel, keyboard, mouse, and video.
Connectors for:
- PCI/ISA riser card (2x106-pin)
- VESA Video Feature (2x20 un-shrouded)
- Input power (12-pin)
- AT diskette drives (34-pin)
- Two 40-pin IDE drive controllers: a primary local bus IDE that supports two hard disk drives and a secondary IDE that supports a CD-ROM drive and one hard disk drive, or two hard disk drives.

Note: The IDE connectors can each support two drives of Modes 0-4. Mode 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. are the progressive industry levels for IDE.

Power-on switch 2-wire connector and a power supply auxiliary control 3-wire connector for Rapid Resume features.
Wake Up on Ring connector for Rapid Resume automatic wake-up features.
Lithium battery.

Processors:

One of the following processors can be installed:

Pentium P54C-133 MHz 1
Pentium P55C-166 MHz
Pentium P55C-200 MHz

1 - MHZ measures internal clock speed of the microprocessor only; not application performance. Many factors also
affect application performance.

Modem Adapter Card:

The following Data/FAX/Voice/Speech modem support is available:
33600 or 55600 bps data
14400 bps send and receive FAX

Power Supplies (with Rapid Resume Features):

The power supply is a 145-W switchable high/low voltage power supply with a variable fan speed and a connector for a detachable grounded 3-wire power cord.

The power cable has four DASD connectors:
- one mini power connector
- three standard 4-pin connectors.

The power supply also has a non-switched appliance outlet connector.

For some countries outside the United States, the power supply might have five standard 4-pin connectors and one mini power connector, for a total of six DASD connectors.
To support the Rapid Resume feature, all power supplies have a 3-wire auxiliary control cable that connects to the system board. There is no on/off switch cable assembly for the power supplies.

Cables

All models contain one cable for hard disk drives and one cable for diskette drives. A momentary power switch and cable assembly that connects to the system board, a Wake Up on Ring modem cable, and a voice modem cable are also included.

Diskette Drive-AT-type

All models except Japan contain a 3.5-in. 1.44 MB slimline diskette drive.
Japan models support 3.5-in. 1.2 MB mode 3 diskette drive.

Multimedia

5.25-in. high-performance, 8-16X CAV (Constant Angular Velocity) CD-ROM IDE/AT drive that can read data and play audio from standard and mini CD-ROM and audio compact discs (audio CDs). It is compatible with industry-standard multimedia requirements.

Note: CAV CD-ROM drives run at a constant speed.
This causes eight-speed reading at the disk hub and sixteen-speed reading at the disk edge.

An audio cable
Sound adapter card (on some models)
A CD-ROM drive system interface cable.
One pair of speakers integrated into monitor.
Sub Woofer (on some models).
Microphone integrated into monitor.
Joystick (on some models).

Hard Disk Drive

The hard disk drive is a 3.5-in. slimline IDE AT drive with 'look-ahead— cache memory and a minimum of 14 ms average access time. Access time varies by the hard disk drive and the hard disk drive manufacturer.

Monitors

Multimedia Monitors include:

- 28-mm dot pitch multi-scanning, non-interlaced VGA, 800x600 and 1024x768 modes.
These can also be configured to run in interlaced mode.
- Power switch. Monitors are rated as Power Saver monitors that reduce power consumption when Rapid Resume is enabled.
- Up to eleven user controls: horizontal position, vertical position, brightness, contrast, horizontal size, vertical size. Speaker
volume, side pincushion, and trapezoidal control. Pin corner, pin balance, and parallelogram control available on some
models.
- Connector for a detachable grounded 3-wire power cord.
- Integrated stereo amplifier and speakers.
- Sub Woofer support
- Internal microphone.
- Provision for external headphone and microphone connections.
- 1.5-m (4.9-ft) attached signal cable (detachable on some models).
