Technical Information
This section provides an overview of the Image
®
P90E and Image P100E enhanced
minitower computers. These computers use Intel
®
Pentium™ microprocessors in a
PCI/EISA bus architecture designed for workstation environments. Basic hardware
includes a system unit, keyboard, and mouse. External interface connectors are located in
the rear of the system unit and are identified in Section 2, Setup and Operation. Section 2
also provides system configuration switch settings and jumper settings for all hardware.
Appendix A provides system specifications.
SYSTEM UNIT
The system unit chassis provides an enclosure for the system board, power supply, six
storage device slots, and five-expansion-slots.
The storage device slots accommodate a standard 3 1/2-inch diskette drive, plus two
internal 3 1/2-inch slots configured as follows:
n
one 3 1/2-inch x 1.0-inch device bay
n
one 3 1/2-inch x 1.6 inch device bay
In addition, the system unit supports three 5 1/4-inch accessible storage devices (1.6-inch
height).
System configurations are available with a 3 1/2-inch diskette drive only or a 3 1/2-inch
diskette drive, internal 3 1/2-inch hard disk drive, and an Intelligent Device Electronics
(IDE) CD-ROM reader (leaving two 5 1/4-inch accessible storage device bays and one
internal 3 1/2-inch slot available for optional devices). A system unit is shown in Figure
Section 1-1.
All hard disk configurations come with an IDE CD-ROM reader and support both the
SCSI-2 Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) or enhanced IDE device interface for fast
data storage and retrieval.
