Fax/Modem Board

Some systems come with a fax/modem board preinstalled. The board operates as
a fax system and data modem according to the operating system and software
installed. The modem board offers a full-duplex speakerphone and 56,600 bits
per second (bps) data/14,400 bps fax communications.
The fax/modem board is Plug and Play compatible. There are no switches or
jumpers to set if the system is running the Window 95 operating system. The
fax/modem default settings are COM2, IRQ3 for Windows 95. Systems running
the Windows NT 4.0 operating system must be configured for COM2 and IRQ3.
See Section 2, "System Configuration," for information on setting Windows NT
jumpers. Section 4, "System Board," includes cable connection information for
the fax/modem. Fax/modem board specifications are provided in Section 9,
"Specifications."

Network Board

Some systems come with a 10/100 network board installed in a PCI slot.
Specifications for the network board are given in Section 9, "Specifications."

PC Adapter Device

Some systems come with a PC Adapter Device. The PC adapter provides twin
PC card slots, which support two Type I/II cards, or one Type I/II card and one
Type III. The adapter supports ISA Plug and Play, and allows cards of mixed
voltage to be used in the same system. PC cards can provide the system with
memory, storage, fax/modem capabilities, video capabilities, or a serial port
interface. The PC adapter driver enables full diskette drive or hard disk
emulation on flash cards compatible with all compression and PC-utilities
software.
The adapter is comprised of a "SwapBox" installed in a 5 1/4-inch accessible
slot, a PC ISA adapter card, and a dual cable that connects them to the PC
adapter bus.
PC adapter device connector locations are given in Section 4, "System Board."
PC adapter device specifications are given in Section 9, "Specifications."

Tape Backup Unit

Some systems come with a tape backup unit. The tape backup unit is a high-
capacity, high-performance data storage device that can compress and write data
to and read and uncompress data from tape. The unit also comes with backup
software used to tailor the backup process so that some or all of the files on the
system can be backed up to a tape cartridge. Files backed up to a tape backup
unit are compressed to conserve space and to speed up the backup process.
