Customer Letter Section HIGHLIGHTS o New Micro Channel Architecture with a 16 and 32-bit bus o Increased processing speed (80386 20MHz) o New 80 nanosecond memory, 1 megabit chips, up to 16MB o Improved multitasking and communications capabilities o New level of graphics and text quality o Large capacity 115MB fixed disk, 1.44MB, 3.5-inch diskette drive o High level of feature integration on the system board o Ease of installation and configuration o Auto-Restart power supply DESCRIPTION The IBM Personal System/2 Model 80 is a high-end solution within the IBM Personal System/2 family. The floor-standing system unit of the 8580-111 has 2MB of memory and a 115MB fixed disk drive (upgradable to 230MB). The IBM 8580 incorporates the latest IBM and industry technologies in an innovative package, designed specifically for the business office environment. This IBM 8580 System Unit features the Intel 80386 20MHz microprocessor and the new Micro Channel Architecture. The 80386 is partitioned into six functional units that can process multiple instructions simultaneously for improved performance. The 32-bit architecture of the micro processor is extended through the IBM 8580 system design, reducing performance bottlenecks. The Micro Channel Architecture supports both 16 and 32-bit I/O and memory adapter cards. The advantages of adapter recognition (no setup switches) are offered for easy configuration, and improved diagnostic and fault isolation for better availability. In addition to the 20MHz processor speed, the standard Page Memory Logic on the planar enhances system performance by allowing the system to operate even faster with most applications. Standard features on the IBM 8580 are: - 2MB* of system board memory - 1.44MB, 3.5-inch diskette drive - Fixed disk drive - Disk controller adapter - Integrated diskette controller - Keyboard port - Serial port - Parallel port - Pointing device port - Video graphics array (VGA) port. * 128K bytes are reserved for high performance BIOS. The VGA port supports two new modes (640 X 480 graphics, 720 x 400 text, 320 x 200 graphics in 256 colors), and compatibility with Color Graphics Adapter (CGA) and the Enhanced Graphics Adapter (EGA). This high level of feature integration on the system board reduces the requirements for optional adapters. The system has two levels of BIOS that total 128KB. There is a compatibility BIOS (CBIOS) with memory addressability of up to 1MB that provides compatible support for current application programs. An additional version of BIOS, advanced BIOS (ABIOS) has extended memory addressability (up to 16MB) and provides support for multitasking operating systems. Additional features of the IBM 8580 System Unit include: - Eight I/O bus slots with five 16-bit and three 16/32-bit (one 16-bit slot is occupied by the disk controller adapter) - A 225-watt universal power supply - A time/date clock with a long-life lithium battery - Additional positions for a second fixed disk drive and for a second 3.5-inch diskette drive. If the power supply outputs drop out of regulation due to an AC line outage, the Auto-Restart feature enables the power supply to automatically restart when AC power returns. This feature provides increased availability of the system unit by allowing it to be programmed for unattended restart after power outages. The IBM 8580 supports the new IBM 8503, 8512, 8513, and 8514 Displays that together with the new VGA built-in function provide significant enhancements to graphics and text capabilities. This ability to display more colors using larger palettes with enhanced addressability widely expands new application opportunities. The following new features are also announced to provide additional capabilities: o An 80387 Math Co-Processor providing increased performance in arithmetic calculations o An 80386 System Board Memory Expansion Kit completing the 4MB memory capacity of the system board o An 80386 Memory Expansion Option providing additional memory in 32-bit slots o An 80386 Memory Expansion Kit providing 4MB of memory to the Memory Expansion Option.

The current leakage of the IBM 8580 will average 350-450 microamps for the 230-volt range and will not exceed 225 microamps for the 115-volt range. Please consult local ordinances, the National Fire Protection and UL codes for specific details on use in the hospital environment. PROGRAMMING REQUIREMENTS: The following operating systems, support the IBM 8580. For additional information and availability dates, refer to Programming Announcements, as indicated, dated April 2, 1987: o IBM Disk Operating System (DOS) Version 3.30 (287-098) o IBM 3270 Workstation Program Version 1.1 (287-101) o IBM Operating System/2 Standard Edition (287-099) o IBM Operating System/2 Extended Edition (287-100) IBM will provide an IBM Personal System/2 Advanced Interactive Executive (AIX (TM)) Operating System for the IBM Personal System/2 Model 80. This offering will complement the current AIX products on the IBM RT PC (TM) by expanding the AIX family. (Refer to Product Announcement 287-046, dated April 2, 1987, for additional information.) (TM) Trademarks of the International Business Machines Corporation. COMPATIBILITY: The IBM Personal System/2 Model 80 is designed to maintain compatibility with most software currently operating under IBM DOS on the IBM Personal Computer XT (TM) and the IBM Personal Computer AT (R). (TM) Trademark of the International Business Machines Corporation. (R) Registered trademark of the International Business Machines Corporation. PREREQUISITES: The IBM 8580 will require an IBM Personal System/2 Display 8503, 8512, 8513, 8514, or equivalent. LIMITATIONS: The IBM 8580 will support a maximum of 16MB of memory. The 16-bit channel of the direct memory access (DMA) addresses only 16MB. PLANNING INFORMATION CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES: The IBM Personal System/2 Model 80 is designated as customer setup (CSU). Installation instructions are included with the system and features. CSU allowance is one day. CABLE ORDERS: There are no cabling requirements, other than for system power and display connection. The cables are provided with the system unit and display, and the instructions are provided as part of initial setup. Information on features that require cabling is included in the DESCRIPTION section of this document. INSTALLABILITY: Following the installation instructions, the user attaches the keyboard and peripherals and installs the Reference Diskette. Power is then turned on and Set Configuration is run after the computer has successfully completed its internal self-tests. PROBLEM DETERMINATION: If no 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 not found there, 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 IBM 8580 Quick Reference. PACKAGING: The IBM 8580 will be packaged in two separate cartons: o The system unit carton (6452055) contains the system unit. o The ship group carton (90X8018) called an Accessory Kit contains: - Customer Setup Sheet (includes inventory list) - Welcome Package The Technical Directory Customer questionnaire - Quick Reference manual with Reference Diskette - System Unit power cord - Keyboard (6 ft.) cable - Personal Computer Enhanced Keyboard. ACCESSORIES AND/OR SUPPLIES: 3.5-inch, 2.0MB diskette (6404078) Supplies are available by calling IBM Direct Response Operations at 800-IBM-2468. SECURITY, AUDITABILITY, AND CONTROL The keylock, a standard feature on the IBM 8580 located on the side of the system unit, provides physical security for the system components.
