TECHNICAL INFORMATION SPECIFIED OPERATING ENVIRONMENT PHYSICAL SPECIFICATIONS: o Dimensions: - Width -- 406mm (16.0 inches) - Depth -- 397mm (15.6 inches) - Height -- 102mm (4.0 inches) - Weight -- 7.8kg (17.2 pounds) o Electrical: - 90 watt power supply, dual voltage, controlled by switch on back - 90-137 (nominal)VAC; 50-60 Hz - 180-265 (nominal)VAC; 50-60 Hz o BTU Output: 438 BTU/Hour o Noise Level: Class 3D o Licenses: - FCC -- Class B - UL -- 478, 5th Edition OPERATING ENVIRONMENT: o Temperature -- 15.6 to 32.2 (degs)C (60 to 90 (degs)F) o Relative Humidity -- 8 to 80% o Wet Bulb -- 22.8 (degs)C (73 (degs)F) MACHINE REQUIREMENTS: The Model 30 286 (8530-E01) requires an analog display (8503, 8512, 8513, 8514 or equivalent). PROGRAMMING REQUIREMENTS: The following operating systems support the Model 30 286: o Operating System/2 (TM) Extended Edition 1.1 (requires a fixed disk drive) o Operating System/2 Standard Edition 1.1 (requires a fixed disk drive) o Disk Operating System Version 3.3 or 4.0. For OS/2 (TM) memory and fixed disk configuration requirements, refer to the IBM OPERATING SYSTEM/2 INFORMATION AND PLANNING GUIDE (G360-2650). (TM) Trademark of the International Business Machines Corporation. COMPATIBILITY: The Model 30 286 (8530-E01) is compatible with the IBM Personal Computer, PC XT and AT at the BIOS interface level (BIOS not identical) and at most hardware interfaces. The Model 30 286 has been designed to maintain compatibility with existing personal computer software and non-timing dependent features. Due to the high level of integration, features such as PC XT and AT memory upgrades and graphic adapters are not supported. Specific hardware products, features and software products that have been tested and are supported in the Model 30 286 environment are listed in the attachment. The Model 30 286 has not been tested with all non-IBM features/options. Additional information on the interface and attachment requirements may be obtained by reviewing the IBM PERSONAL SYSTEM/2 MODEL 30 286 TECHNICAL REFERENCE MANUAL, (S01F-0237), which can be ordered through IBM or an IBM authorized dealer. LIMITATIONS: Additional memory installed on the PS/2 Multifunction Adapter (P/N 30F5364) can only be used in a Model 30 286 with 0.5Mb of memory installed on the system board. The ability to use a non-IBM memory expansion card in the Model 30 286 is dependent on the card's flexibility in establishing its starting memory address. The amount of planar memory (standard plus kits) and the corresponding starting memory address is illustrated in the following table: PLANAR EXPANSION CARD MEMORY STARTING ADDRESS 512Kb 512Kb 1Mb 1Mb + 384Kb 2Mb 2Mb + 384Kb 4Mb 4Mb + 384Kb Memory expansion cards must support the listed starting address to properly operate in a system with a given amount of planar memory. IBM Disk Operating System (DOS) 3.3 MODE will not support 19,200 baud on the Model 30 286. DOS 4.0 will support 19,200 baud on the Model 30 286. The following memory expansion adapters and memory module kits are not supported on the Model 30 286: o 0.5 to 3Mb Memory Expansion Adapter (#3395, P/N 55X3560) o 1.0 to 6Mb Memory Expansion Adapter (#3400, P/N 55X3679) o Enhanced Memory Adapter (#8635, P/N 74X8635) o 0.5Mb Memory Module Kit (P/N 55X3547) o 1.0Mb Memory Module Kit (P/N 55X3681) o 2.0Mb Memory Module Kit (P/N 74X7833) PLANNING INFORMATION CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES: The Model 30 286 (8530-E01) is designated as customer setup (CSU). CSU allowance is one day. CABLE ORDERS: There are no cabling requirements, other than for system power and display connections. Cables are provided with the system unit, display and keyboard. The instructions are provided as part of initial setup. INSTALLABILITY: By following the setup instructions, the user attaches the keyboard and peripherals and inserts the Reference Diskette. Power is then turned on and Set Configuration is run after the computer has successfully completed its initial self-tests. The Model 30 286 has a universal power supply that can (with the external switch) be used worldwide. Additionally, there are no setup switches. PROBLEM DETERMINATION: If a failure is found at initial installation, an instruction will appear on the screen. If the test is successfully completed, the system attempts to load an operating system from the A drive. If an operating system is not found, the system attempts to load one from the C fixed disk drive. If an operating system is not found, the user will be prompted to insert a diskette via an icon. A final default is provided through the use of a ROM-loaded BASIC interpreter as explained in the GUIDE TO OPERATIONS. The troubleshooting procedures consist of a power-on self test, diagnostic tests and easy-to-follow troubleshooting charts designed to assist the user in isolating a defective machine element. The failing element can then be replaced or repaired under existing warranty provisions.
