Graphics Board
Ethernet models come with a Diamond graphics board preinstalled. The board is a high-performance PCI
graphics board specifically designed for exceptional graphics and superior quality full-screen, full-motion
video. The board uses the Trident™ 3DImàge975™ video controller.
Diskette Drive
The system comes standard with a 1.44-MB high-density diskette drive pre-installed in the 3 1/2-inch
accessible device slot (drive A). The drive is connected to the system board via a two-connector cable.
Hard Disk Drive
The system supports up to three IDE hard drives, the standard hard drive and two optional hard drives. The
standard hard drive is either a 3.2-GB, 4.3-GB, or 6.4-GB drive.
CD-ROM Reader
The reader can be used to load programs from a CD or it can be used to play audio CDs. The reader operates
at different speeds depending on whether the CD contains music or data. The reader is fully compatible with
Kodak Multisession Photo CDs™ and standard CDs.
The reader is connected to the secondary IDE/PCI port on the system board.
Power Supply
The 200-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 430TX System Controller (MTXC) chip,
reduces system power consumption when there is no activity detected from the keyboard, mouse, diskette
drive, CD-ROM reader, or hard disk drive after a pre-defined 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 enter
a low-power mode.
