IBM PERSONAL SYSTEM/2 MODEL 40 SX (8540-040, 043, 045) IBM Announcement Letter Number 191-076 dated June 11, 1991 IBM US - Last Revised on June 11, 1991 Brief Description of Announcement, Charges, and Availability The Personal System/2 (R) (PS/2 (R)) Model 40 SX system unit utilizes the 80386SX microprocessor operating at 20MHz with zero to two wait states to system memory. The Model 40 SX ships with 2MB (million bytes) system board memory (expandable to 16MB on planar), new 3.5-inch DASD options, five slots and four bays, and 16-bit video graphics array (VGA). The 80386SX microprocessor PS/2 Model 40 SX has the following integrated functions: parallel port, serial port, pointing device port, VGA port, keyboard port, 1.44MB diskette drive support, Math Co-Processor socket, and three single in-line memory module (SIMM) sockets (two available for memory expansion). The PS/2 Model 40 SX is offered in a diskette only model (8540-040) and 40MB and 80MB fixed disk models (8540-043 and 8540-045). The Model 40 SX supports the IBM Enhanced (101-key) Keyboard, Space Saving (84-key) Keyboard, or the IBM Host Connected (122-key) Keyboard. The keyboard selection can only be specified in new equipment orders and cannot be ordered separately for on-order or installed equipment. Also announced are two new 8MB memory module options designed to expand system board memory. The IBM Personal System/2 8MB Memory Module Kit-80ns (#1401, 6450129) contains 8MB of 80 nanosecond memory on a single SIMM. The IBM Personal System/2 8MB Memory Module Kit-70ns (#5116, 6450130) contains 8MB of high speed, 70 nanosecond memory on a single SIMM. These memory module kits are supported on PS/2 Models 35 SX, 35 LS, 40 SX, 57 SX, 90 XP and 95 XP. The PS/2 Models 90 XP and 95 XP can now support up to 64MB of memory on the system board. The Model 40 SX supports the following new options: o IBM Personal System/2 1.44MB Diskette Drive (#0030, 6451130) o IBM Personal System/2 2.88MB Diskette Drive (#1106, 6451106) o IBM Personal System/2 5.25-Inch External Diskette Drive Adapter Cable (#1124, 6451124) o IBM Personal System/2 40MB Fixed Disk Drive I (#1073, 6451073) o IBM Personal System/2 80MB Fixed Disk Drive I (#1074, 6451074) o IBM Personal System/2 8MB Memory Module Kit -- 70ns (#5116, 6450130) o IBM Personal System/2 8MB Memory Module Kit -- 80ns (#1401, 6450129). The following operating systems support the PS/2 Model 40 SX: o Operating System/2 (R) (OS/2 (R)) Extended Edition Version 1.3 (Refresh Level 1.30.1) o OS/2 Standard Edition Version 1.3 (Refresh Level 1.30.1) o IBM Disk Operating System (DOS) Versions 3.3, 4.0 and 5.0.

Customer Letter Section HIGHLIGHTS o 80386SX microprocessor operating at 20MHz o 2MB memory standard on the system board (expandable to 16MB, in 1MB, 2MB, 4MB or 8MB increments, with two available SIMM sockets) o 40MB and 80MB fixed disk capacity (expandable to 80MB, 120MB or 160MB) with second fixed disk drive option o Five full size 8/16-bit expansion card slots and four DASD bays (two bays available in fixed disk models and three bays available in diskette only model) o 80387SX Math Co-Processor socket o 3270 front of screen affinity DESCRIPTION USER PRODUCTIVITY The IBM PS/2 Model 40 SX introduces increased processor speed and function into the PS/2 family of systems. The system memory is expandable to 16MB; the 80MB fixed disk model allows the user to run from the simplest of programs to more complex business application programs requiring the OS/2 operating system. The Model 40 SX can be used either as a stand-alone terminal or in a local area network (LAN). GROWTH ENABLEMENT The PS/2 Model 40 SX provides increased expansion capability through its new mechanical package design. The system has two customer accessible DASD bays (fixed disk models), and three customer accessible DASD bays (diskette only model). The PS/2 Model 40 SX supports up to two fixed disks and a variety of optional diskette devices, including the PS/2 5.25-inch internal 1.2MB diskette, 1.44MB 3.5-inch diskette drive, or the PS/2 Internal Tape Backup Unit. The system also provides five full size, customer accessible, 8/16-bit expansion card slots. INVESTMENT PROTECTION Based on the 80386SX microprocessor, the PS/2 Model 40 SX will be considered a long-term, reliable system solution. The Model 40 SX supports a wide range of IBM and non-IBM programs, applications, I/O devices, features and accessories. With the expansion capability offered by the new mechanical design, the Model 40 SX provides five expansion card slots and three bays with diskette only model (8540-040), or two bays with fixed disk drive models (8540-043 or 8540-045). The system can easily be expanded as customer requirements become more complex. BUSINESS SOLUTIONS The PS/2 Model 40 SX supports the customer's business objectives by providing a cost effective workstation for stand-alone or networking environments. The PS/2 Model 40 SX with its wide range of optional features, compatible operating systems and applications, provides a powerful solution for small, medium and large enterprises. The Model 40 SX performance and expansion capability will be readily recognized as a sound business investment.

The PS/2 Model 40 SX contains fixed disk BIOS functions that provide performance enhancements not supported by the IBM Disk Cache program (IBMCACHE.SYS). The IBM Disk Cache program has been removed from the Starter diskette. Due to potential data integrity problems, no version of IBM Cache can be used on the PS/2 Model 40 SX. SmartDrive Cache (SMARTDRV.SYS) is supported on the PS/2 Model 40 SX. COMPATIBILITY: The Personal System/2 Model 40 SX is compatible with the IBM Personal Computer (5150), Personal Computer XT (TM) and Personal Computer AT (R) at the BIOS interface level (BIOS not identical) and at most hardware interfaces. The Model 40 SX 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 Personal Computer XT and Personal Computer AT memory upgrades and graphic adapters are not supported. Specific hardware products, features and software products supported in the Model 40 SX environment are listed in the attachment. The Model 40 SX has not been tested with all non-IBM features and options. Additional information on the interface and attachment requirements may be obtained by reviewing the IBM Personal System/2 Model 40 SX Technical Reference (S85F-1646) manual, which can be ordered through IBM or an IBM Authorized Dealer.

USER GROUP REQUIREMENTS: This announcement satisfies, or partially satisfies, requirements from one or more of the World Wide User Group Communities, which include Australasian SHARE GUIDE (ASG), COMMON, COMMON EUROPE, GUIDE, European G.U.I.D.E., Japan GUIDE SHARE (JGS), Latin American GUIDE (LAG), SHARE EUROPE and SHARE. PLANNING INFORMATION CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES: The Personal System/2 Model 40 SX is designated as customer setup (CSU). CSU allowance is one day. CABLE ORDERS: There are no cabling requirements, other than for system power and keyboard connections. All cables are provided with the system unit, and 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 Starter Diskette. Power is then turned on and Setup is run after the computer has successfully completed its initial self-tests. The PS/2 Model 40 SX has a universal power supply with an external switch and may, therefore, be used worldwide. 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 (S84F-7765). 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.
