Aptiva - 2161 Product description

Applicable to: World-Wide

Product Description

The Machine Type 2161 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 Machine Type 2161 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 2161 computer.

The Type 2161 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 module.
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 internal; 66 MHz external
Pentium P55C-166 MHz internal; 66 MHz external
Pentium P55C-200 MHz internal; 66 MHz external
Pentium P55C-233 MHz internal; 66 MHz external

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.
A CD-ROM drive system interface cable.
One pair of external speakers (model 10 or model 20).
Sub Woofer (on some models).
Speaker power cable.
Microphone.
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

SVGA (Super Video Graphics Array) Monitors include:

- .28-mm dot pitch, digital/borderless.
- Power switch.
- Up to nine user controls: contrast , brightness, horizontal control, vertical control, horizontal size, vertical size, pincushion and trapezoid.
- Connector for a detachable grounded 3-wire power cord.
- 1.5-m (4.9-ft) or 1.8-m (5.8-ft) attached signal cable.
- Most models have auto-sensing power input for 100V ac to 240 V ac. Some models are single voltage input or have manual switches to select power input (110V ac or 220 V ac).

SVGA (Super Video Graphics Array) Multi - Scanning Monitors include:

- .28-mm dot pitch, multi-scanning, non-interlaced VGA, 800 x 600 and 1024 x 768 modes.
- Power switch. Some models are rated as Power Saver monitors that reduce power consumption when Rapid Resume is enabled.
- Up to seven user controls: horizontal position, vertical position, brightness, contrast, horizontal size, and vertical size. Side pincushion and trapezoidal control on some models.
- Connector for a detachable grounded 3-wire power cord.
- 1.5-m (4.9-ft) attached signal cable (detachable on some models).
- Single voltage input.
