Network connection

Some models of the NetVista computer have an integrated Ethernet controller.
Features of the Ethernet controller are:

Real-time clock and CMOS

The real-time clock is a low-power clock that provides a time-of-day clock and a
calendar. The clock settings are maintained by the battery when the power cord is
removed.
The system uses 242 bytes of CMOS memory to store data. The CMOS memory is
erased if the CMOS clear/recovery jumper is moved.
To locate the battery, see "System board layout for the NetVista A40 and A40p
computer" on page 3 or "System board layout for the A20 model computer" on page 4.

Flash EEPROM

The system board uses 4 Mb of flash electrically erasable, programmable, read-only
memory (EEPROM) to store the BIOS, IBM logo, Configuration/Setup Utility, and Plug
and Play data.
If necessary, the EEPROM can be easily updated using a stand-alone program that is
available on a 3.5-inch diskette. For information to obtain the latest version of the
Flash Update Utility program, see the NetVista User Guide .

Expansion adapters

The NetVista small form factor desktop model computer has two 32-bit, 33 MHz PCI
slots. The NetVista desktop model computer has three 32-bit 33 MHz PCI slots.
These connectors support the 5 V signaling environment that is defined in PCI Local
Bus Specification 2.2 . Some models also have a preinstalled AGP adapter.
