to charge batteries. MultiBay I will accept Compaq LTE Elite hard drives.
1.7.7 PC Card Slots
Each expansion base has two Type III PC Card slots that function similarly
to the PC card slots on the computer. Each PC Card slot on the expansion
base supports one Type I, one Type II, or one Type III PC Card. The only
serviceable part of the PC card slots are the slot doors. The rails and
connectors are incorporated into the main board.
1.7.8 Computer Docking Mechanism
The computer docking mechanism has a lever that protrudes from the right
side of either expansion base and serves to aid in seating the computer
when it is pushed toward the rear of the expansion base. The lever
releases the computer from the expansion base when it is pushed toward the
front of the expansion base.
1.7.9 ISA Expansion Board
The MultiBay ISA Expansion Base provides one slot for an 8- or 16-bit,
full-length industry-standard (ISA) expansion board.
The following provisions must be considered when choosing the type of ISA
expansion board to be installed in the expansion base:
o The enhanced video performance of the Compaq LTE 5000 Family of Personal
Computers drives an external monitor at resolutions up to 1024 x 768 x
256 colors and at selectable refresh rates up to 72 Hz, making the use
of ISA graphics controller boards unnecessary. If an ISA graphics
controller card is installed, the system will not operate. Graphics
controller boards are not supported.
o If a National NE2000 or compatible network ISA board is installed, the
built-in ethernet connectors in the expansion base are disabled. To
re-enable the built-in ethernet network feature, the NE2000 or
compatible network ISA expansion board must be removed.
Two Network Interface Cards (NICs) can be enabled at one time as long as
both are not NE2000 or compatible.
NOTE: NICs that have a default address of 300h require setup
configuration changes because the built-in ethernet uses the 300h
address.
o Some Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) ISA boards cannot be installed
as they require connection to the "feature connector" of the graphics
controller. This feature connector is not provided on the MultiBay ISA
Expansion Base. MPEG ISA boards with a standard video port (external
monitor connector) that do not require connection to the feature
connector on the graphics controller should function satisfactorily.
