IBM PS/2 Model CL57 SX HMR Microprocessor 1.2.1 Microprocessor The microprocessor interprets and carries out instructions. The 80386SX microprocessor is a 32-bit processor with a 16-bit external data bus and a 24-bit external address bus. The microprocessor operates in two modes: real-address mode and virtual-address (protected) mode.
Page 11
IBM PS/2 Model CL57 SX HMR CMOS RAM and CMOS RAM Extension 1.2.2 CMOS RAM and CMOS RAM Extension The CMOS RAM provides 64 bytes of storage. The real-time clock uses the first 14 bytes of this storage to track the date, time, and battery level.
Page 12
IBM PS/2 Model CL57 SX HMR ROM BIOS/POST 1.2.3 ROM BIOS/POST Read Only Memory - Basic Input/Output System (ROM BIOS) contains the instructions and routines that control the keyboard, diskette drive, hard disk drive, displays and other major I/O devices in the system.
The controller connects to the diskette drive through two interface connectors on the system board using a flexible cable. Both signals and voltages are supplied through this cable. These signals and voltages can only operate one IBM 3.5-inch diskette drive. ¦ Copyright IBM Corp. 1991 1.2.4 - 1...
IBM PS/2 Model CL57 SX HMR Serial Connector 1.2.5 Serial Connector The serial connector is fully programmable and is capable of asynchronous communications at a maximum speed of 19.2 kb/s. The 9-pin D-shell connector provides the signals to drive a standard EIA-232D device.
IBM PS/2 Model CL57 SX HMR Parallel Connector 1.2.6 Parallel Connector The parallel connector allows the attachment of devices that accept 8 bits of parallel data at standard transistor-transistor logic (TTL) levels. The connector is a 25-pin, D-shell connector and is designed primarily for printers.
Page 16
IBM PS/2 Model CL57 SX HMR External Input Device Connector 1.2.7 External Input Device Connector The external input device connector is located at the rear of the system and accepts a mouse or 17-key numeric keypad. The Model CL57 SX has only one input-device connector.
Page 17
IBM PS/2 Model CL57 SX HMR Optional Communication Adapter Slot 1.2.8 Optional Communication Adapter Slot This option slot can accept either a secondary serial adapter or an internal data/fax modem. The serial adapter complies with EIA-232D standard and provides alternative input/output capabilities that have the same function as the primary serial connector on the rear of the system.
