up to two IDE hard disk drives and two diskette drives
Your system contains local bus interfaces for the video and IDE
controllers. These buses can transfer data at the full speed of
your processor rather than at the standard 8.33 MHz ISA bus
speed, so your system can access the hard disk drive and
process video data far more quickly. The local bus video,
combined with the standard 1MB of on-board video memory,
provides fast video response in a range of resolutions and
colors. (See Appendix A for a list of supported resolutions.)
In standard configurations, this computer complies with the
United States Environmental Protection Agency's Energy Star
Program, which promotes the manufacture of energyefficient
printers, computers, and monitors. Your computer's
"GreenPC" feature places the hard disk drive in a low-power
standby mode when the mouse or keyboard has been inactive
for a specified period of time.
Note
If you have an Energy Star compliant monitor, it also goes
into a low-power standby mode because it isn't receiving
video signals from your computer. (Screens on
non-compliant monitors go blank, but do not enter a
low-power standby mode.)
The VESA option slots allow you to install high-performance
VESA-compliant devices such as a graphics accelerator card,
SCSI adapter, or network controller.
