1-8 Technical Information
Hard Drive
The system supports up to three IDE hard drives, the standard hard drive, and
two optional hard drives (if a Zip drive does not come standard with the
system).
CD-ROM/DVD Drive
The drive can be used to load programs from a CD or it can be used to play
audio CDs. The drive operates at different speeds depending on whether the CD
contains music or data. The drive is fully compatible with Kodak Multisession
Photo CDs™ and standard CDs.
The drive is connected to the secondary IDE/PCI port on the system board.
Zip Drive
Some systems come with the Iomega
®
Zip 100 ATA drive. The Zip drive
provides removable 100-MB data disks and has a data transfer rate up to 1.4 MB
per second.
Power Supply
The 235-watt power supply is mounted inside the system unit. It supplies power
to the system board, option boards, diskette drives, hard drives, keyboard, and
mouse. A fan inside the power supply provides system ventilation. The power
supply has several cables for attaching to the various devices requiring power.
Power Management
The Advanced Power Management (APM) program, located on the 82371EB
PCI ISA IDE Xcelerator (PIIX4E) chip, reduces system power consumption
when there is no activity detected from the keyboard, mouse, diskette drive,
CD-ROM/DVD drive, or hard drive after a predefined period of time. As soon
as activity is detected, the system resumes where it left off.
In the CMOS Setup utility, an inactivity timer is available for setting the length
of time before the system enters a low-power mode.
