Chapter 3 Processor/Memory Subsystem 3.2.2 BUS/PROCESSING SPEED SELECT The Pentium MMX-based system board includes a four-position DIP switch (SW1) that is used to select the Host bus frequency and the processing frequency of the system. The SW1 positions 2 and 3 control the Bus Fraction (BF0, BF1) signals to the CPU, which determines the bus-to-core speed ratio.
Technical Reference Guide 3.2.4 SYSTEM MEMORY The system board contains two 168-pin DIMM sockets for system memory. This system is designed for using SDRAM DIMMs. As shipped from the factory the standard configuration may be 16 or 32 megabytes installed. The addition of 16-, or 32-, 64-, or 128-MB DIMMs allows the expansion of system memory up to a maximum of 256 megabytes. Single or double-sided DIMMs may be used. It is strongly recommended to use DIMMs with gold-plated contacts.

Chapter 4 System Support 4.2 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 2.1. This system implements a 32-bit Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) bus. The PCI bus uses a shared address/data bus design. On the first clock cycle of a PCI bus transaction the bus carries address information.

Chapter 4 System Support 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. Request (REQ), Grant (GNT), and FRAME signals are used by PCI bus masters for gaining access to the PCI bus.
Technical Reference Guide 4.2.3 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.
Chapter 4 System Support Figure 4-3 shows 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. 31 30 24 23 Reserved Register 0CF8h 16 15 11 10 8 7 2 1 0 Bus Device Function Register 0 0 Number Number Number Index Results in: 31 AD31..0 w/Type 0 Config.

Technical Reference Guide 4.2.5 PCI INTERRUPT MAPPING The PCI bus provides for four interrupt signals; INTA-, INTB-, INTC-, and INTD-. These signals may be generated by on-board PCI devices or by devices installed in the PCI slots. In order to minimize latency, INTA-..
Chapter 4 System Support 4.2.6 PCI CONFIGURATION PCI bus operations, especially those that involve ISA bus interaction, require the configuration of certain parameters such as PCI IRQ routing, top of memory accessable by ISA, SMI generation, and clock throttling characteristics. These parameters are handled by the PCI/ISA bridge function (PCI function #0) of the South Bridge component and configured through the PCI configuration space registers listed in Table 4-6.
Technical Reference Guide 4.3 ISA BUS OVERVIEW NOTE: This section describes the ISA bus in general and highlights bus implementation in this particular system. For detailed information regarding ISA bus operation, refer to the Compaq Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA) Technical Reference Guide. The industry standard architecture (ISA) bus provides an 8-/16-bit path for standard I/O peripherals as well as for an optional device that can be installed in the ISA expansion slot (if present).

Technical Reference Guide 4.3.2 ISA BUS TRANSACTIONS The ISA bus supports 8- and 16-bit transfers at an 8-MHz rate. Devices limited to 8-bit transfers use the lower byte portion (data lines 7..0) while 16-bit transfers use the full bandwidth (data lines 15..0). Addressing is handled by two classifications of address signals: latched and latchable. Latched address signals ( SA19..0) select the specific byte within the 1-MB section of memory defined by address lines LA23..17. Latchable address lines (LA23..
Chapter 4 System Support The following guidelines apply to optional ISA devices installed in the system: ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ On bus lines that can be driven by a controller board, the driver should be able to sink a minimum of 20 ma at 0.5 VDC and source 2 ma at 3.75 VDC. On bus lines that are driven in the low direction only (open collector), the driver should be able to sink 20 ma at 0.5 VDC. The load on any logic line from a single bus slot should not exceed 2.0 ma in the low state (at 0.5 VDC) or 0.
Technical Reference Guide 4.3.3 DIRECT MEMORY ACCESS Direct Memory Access (DMA) is a method by which an ISA device accesses system memory without involving the microprocessor. DMA is normally used to transfer blocks of data to or from an ISA I/O device. DMA reduces the amount of CPU interactions with memory, freeing the CPU for other processing tasks. NOTE: This section describes DMA in general.
Chapter 4 System Support 4.3.3.1 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 4-9 lists the page register port addresses. Table 4–9. DMA Page Register Addresses Table 4-9.
Technical Reference Guide 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.
Chapter 4 System Support 4.3.4 INTERRUPTS The microprocessor uses two types of 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 but may be inhibited by hardware or software means external to the microprocessor. 4.3.4.
Technical Reference Guide Table 4–11. Maskable Interrupt Priorities and Assignments Table 4-11.
Chapter 4 System Support 4.3.4.2 Non-Maskable Interrupts Non-maskble interrupts cannot be masked (inhibited) within the microprocessor itself but may be maskable by software using logic external to the microprocessor. There are two nonmaskable 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-.
Technical Reference Guide 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.
Chapter 4 System Support 4.3.5 INTERVAL TIMER The interval timer generates pulses at software (programmable) intervals. A 8254-compatible timer is integrated into the South Bridge chip. The timer function provides three counters, the functions of which are listed in Table 4-13. Table 4–13. Interval Timer Functions Table 4-13. Interval Timer Functions Counter 0 1 2 Function System Clock Refresh Speaker Tone Gate Always on Always on Port 61, bit<0> Clock In 1.193 MHz 1.193 MHz 1.
Technical Reference Guide 4.4 SYSTEM CLOCK DISTRIBUTION The system uses an ICS9147-08 or compatible part for generation of most clock signals. Tables 4-15 lists the clock signals and to which components they are distributed. Table 4–15. Clock Generation and Distribution (Pentium-Based System) Table 4-15.
Chapter 4 System Support 4.5 REAL-TIME CLOCK AND CONFIGURATION MEMORY The Real-time clock (RTC) and configuration memory functions are provided by the PC87307 I/O controller. The RTC uses the first 14 of 256 bytes of configuration memory and is MC146818-compatible. As shown in the following figure, the 87307 controller provides 256 bytes of configuration memory, divided into two 128-byte banks.

The parallel interface function is integrated into the 87307 I/O controller component and provides bi-directional 8-bit parallel data transfers with a peripheral device.
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.
Technical Reference Guide 5.5.4 PARALLEL INTERFACE PROGRAMMING 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 87307 I/O controller.
Chapter 5 Input/Output Interfaces 5.5.4.2 Parallel Interface Control The BIOS function INT 17 provides simplified control of the parallel interface. Basic functions such as initialization, character printing, and printer status are provide by subfunctions of INT 17. The parallel interface is controllable by software through a set of I/O mapped registers. The number and type of registers available depends on the mode used (SPP, EPP, or ECP).

The keyboard/pointing device interface function is provided by the 87307 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.
Technical Reference Guide 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 5-16 lists and describes commands that can be issued by the 8042 to the keyboard. Table 5–16.
Chapter 5 Input/Output Interfaces 5.6.2 POINTING DEVICE INTERFACE OPERATION The pointing device (typically a mouse) connects to a 6-pin DIN-type connector that is identical to the keyboard connector both physically and electrically. The operation of the interface (clock and data signal control) is the same as for the keyboard. The pointing device interface uses the IRQ12 interrupt. 5.6.3 KEYBOARD/POINTING DEVICE INTERFACE PROGRAMMING 5.6.3.
Technical Reference Guide 5.6.3.2 8042 Control The BIOS function INT 16 is typically used for controlling interaction with the keyboard. Subfunctions of INT 16 conduct the basic routines of handling keyboard data (i.e., translating the keyboard’s scan codes into ASCII codes).
Chapter 5 Input/Output Interfaces Table 5-18 lists the commands that can be sent to the 8042 by the CPU. The 8042 uses IRQ1 for gaining the attention of the CPU. Table 5–18.

Chapter 8 BIOS ROM 8.4.3 TEMPERATURE SENSOR A temperature sensor component is mounted in the cavity of the microprocessor socket. This sensor component detects when the microprocessor has reached a programmed temperature level and initiates appropriate action. The sensor is programmed by BIOS for two temperature levels; a level for initiating a caution to the user and another level to initiate a system shutdown.
Technical Reference Guide 8.4.5 DIMM SUPPORT The BIOS includes DIMM support consisting of the following: ♦ ♦ ♦ Access control with the serial (I2C) EEPROM of the DIMM Runtime information on ECC-correctable single bit errors POST message if ECC-correctable errors are detectable during POST memory test DIMMs with 128 bytes of EEPROM can be used although 256-byte EEPROM DIMMs are recommended for full support of Compaq intelligent manageability features.
Chapter 8 BIOS ROM ENTRY: AX = BH = E827h 02h RETURN: CF = 0 (Success) AH = 0 0000h (if no single bit ECC corrected error has occurred) bit <0>, Error occurred on DIMM/SIMM pair 0 bit <1>, Error occurred on DIMM/SIMM pair 1 bit <2>, Error occurred on DIMM/SIMM pair 2 bit <3>, Error occurred on DIMM/SIMM pair 3 1 (Failure) AH = 86h (Not supported) BX = CF = The POST memory test checks for ECC-corrected single bit errors after each 64K of memory tested in a similar fashion as is done with parity.
Technical Reference Guide 8.4.6 SECURITY FUNCTIONS The INT 15 AX=E829h BIOS function is used to control various security features of the system. This function may be issued remotely (over a network) by a driver. A request buffer must be built (by the driver) for each security feature prior to making the call.
Chapter 8 BIOS ROM 8.4.7 ACCESSING CMOS FEATURE BITS The BIOS function INT 15, AX=E845h is a tri-modal call for accessing areas in non-volatile memory used to store variables for various features.
Technical Reference Guide 8.5 PNP SUPPORT The BIOS includes Plug ’n Play (PnP) support for PnP version 1.0A. NOTE: For full PnP functionality to be realized, all peripherals used in the system must be designed as “PnP ready.” Any installed ISA peripherals that are not “PnP ready” can still be used in the system, although configuration parameters may need to be considered (and require intervention) by the user.
Chapter 8 BIOS ROM 8.6 POWER MANAGEMENT SUPPORT The Compaq Deskpro 2000 system includes Advanced Power Management (APM) BIOS support that provides, if so configured, for the automatic shutdown of certain areas within a system after a specified time of inactivity has elapsed. When activity is detected, APM brings the system back up to full power to provide complete user support.
Technical Reference Guide Standby - The computer is in a low power state: video is off, some subsystems may be drawing less power, and the microprocessor is halted except for servicing interrupts. Video graphics controller is under driver control and/or VSYNC is off and the power supply fan is turned off. Any of the following activities will generate a wake-up SMI and return the system to On: a. Keyboard b. Mouse c. Serial port d. Diskette drive e. Hard drive f.

Technical Reference Guide Appendix C KEYBOARD C. Appendix C 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.
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.
Technical Reference Guide C.2.1 TRANSMISSIONS TO THE SYSTEM The keyboard processor 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.

Technical Reference Guide C.2.3 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, again, with the exception of the Pause key, 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.
Appendix C Keyboard C.2.3.2 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.
Technical Reference Guide C.2.3.3 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.

Appendix C Keyboard C.3 SCANNER DESCRIPTION The scanner keyboard, available as an option, integrates a scanner with a SpaceSaver Windows ’95 keyboard, providing the ability to scan hardcopy looseleaf documents for faxing or electronic storage. The scanner provides resolutions up to 400 dpi and 256 shades of gray and outputs through a standard serial interface to the system unit. Using optical character recognition (OCR) support software, printed textual data can be converted into editable files.
Technical Reference Guide C.3.1 SCANNER OPERATION The scanner requires minimum user interface for normal operation. Insertion of a sheet of hardcopy activates the scanner. Operating parameters such as resolution, brightness, and motor speed are programmable for optimum performance.

Technical Reference Guide C.3.1.1 Resolution/Shade Depth The drive motor mechanism of the CIS supports a vertical resolution of 400 dpi. The CIS provides a maximum horizontal resolution of 200 dpi. These factors provide true spatial resolutions of 100 and 200 dpi. Using horizontal interpolation, pseudo 300 and 400 dpi spatial resolutions are possible. Shade depth is determined by the number of bits used to control each pixel.
Appendix C Keyboard C.3.2 SCANNER INTERFACE The scanner communicates with the system unit (host) using a serial port as the primary choice of connection. The scanner interface is adaptable to several types of host connections as shown in Table C-4 (unshaded portion describes standard scanner interface with Compaq system unit). Table C–4. Scanner I/F Signals Table C-4.
Technical Reference Guide C.3.2.1 Pnyb Mode In the parallel nibble or “Pnyb” mode, the scanner transfers scanned information to the system unit (host) four bits (a nibble) at a time using the P3..P0 signals, which conform to RS-232 voltage and timing specifications. The P3..P0 signals are mapped to bits <7..4> respectively of the Modem Status Register (primary address 3FEh). The nibbles are clocked into the host with each transition of the PCLK signal.
