•	Modified right-angle header pins for front panel connectors. The straight pins formerly were too tall, and could interfere with full length add in cards.

•	Added PROPALs as alternates to the factory-programmed parts at locations U11, U26, and U37 for factory convenience.

•	Added metal latch SIMM sockets as preferred and plastic latch sockets as alternate for improved quality.

Integrates the new B-step of the 82C392 OPTi Data Buffer controller. OPTi has discontinued the A-step version of the part.  The B-step provides higher levels of component testability by adding three modes of operation. The B-step supports tri-state, drive high and drive low modes of operation. Tri-state puts most pins in a high impedence state, allowing a tester to drive pins to any desired state. Drive high mode drives all even pins specified to a high logic level and all odd pins specified to a low logic level.  Drive low is the corollary to drive high mode. There are no functional differences between the A and B steppings of the 82C392 part.

The change was made on the DX2-66 version of the Classic E board before the other two types of boards.

Parallel port capacitor change from 2.2nf to 470pf to correct an issue with some parallel port adapters such as the DLink ethernet adapter.

ECO Numbers E01466, E01467


Change to SL-Enhanced CPUs, April 1994

The Classic E CPUs will change from non-SL enhanced CPUs to SL-enhanced CPUs for commanality between all baseboards.  The SL-enhanced features of these CPUs will not be implemented on the Classic E motherboards.  Therefore, no PBA numbers will change.

ECO Number E1565


ATMEL Part Number AT40392 addition, July 1994

An alternate ATMEL part has been added to the AML (approved manufacturers list) to replace the current OPTi 82C392 chip.  Manufacturing has not been receiving adequate quantities of the OPTi chip 82C392, so engineering has fully qualified the ATMEL part AT40392 to be used as a replacement.  The OPTi 82C392 will still be the primary chip on the motherboard.  Boards shipping with this ATMEL part could be seen in the fields in the beginning of July 1994.  There will not be a change to the PBA number of the motherboard.


ATMEL Recall/Rework for Compatibility issues, September 1994

The alternate ATMEL AT40392 part that was shipped in July and August 1994 had a problem integrating certain ISA cards, as well as a couple of IDE hard drives.  The OPTi 82C392 part that Intel added the ATMEL part as a second source has a faster ramp time than the ATMEL AT40392.  This problem caused a reset mechanism in the motherboard, which caused these add-in boards to fail and not boot, and some IDE drives to not be recognized.  If a customer is experiencing these two failures, and their board contains the ATMEL part, they should be instructed to return the motherboard to Intel's repair center.


ATMEL Capacitor Removal, Feb 95

A capacitor has been removed on the Classic E baseboard to allow for a faster powergood ramp signal to the ATMEL AT40392 part. This fixes a problem seen when using a few specific add-in cards. The fix has been fully tested by Intel's product testing lab.

	ATMEL (PBA) rework required	ATMEL(AA) rework required	No rework required	No rework required

If the customer has a board that requires the rework (it has the above PBA or AA), and does not have a label on the motherboard that says "QAN 2226", and is experiencing the above failures, then they should contact their Intel Authorized Distributor, or the Intel Repair center.

ECO 1830.


System Product History

Power Supply Modification,Nov 1993

Chassis Modification, Jan 1994

Power Supply Change, May 1994

Ferrite Tie Wrap, June 1994

Intel Inside Logo Addition, June 1994


Power Supply Modification,Nov 1993

The Classic E changed to a new revision of the power supply. The new power supply 202124-002 corrects a -12V inrush current problem. The previous power supply would not work with the Sound Blaster multi-media cards.  Power supplies with this fix will be marked with "226" in the "A/C" field on the power supply label as marked with the arrow below.


Chassis Modification, Jan 1994

The chassis incorporated a new fan guard to protect the front panel cables from the secondary fan blades.  In addition, the fan now will support two power connectors. The double power connectors are used in a different Intel motherboard product that shares the Classic E chassis.  The card guide changed from a 6-slot to a 7-slot.

ECO Number E01449


Power Supply Change, May 1994

The Classic E will change to a new model 200W power supply from Astec because Astec has discontinued the current 200W power supply.  Specifications for the new power supply are included in this help file. Production of Classic E with the new power supply will commence in  May.

The new power supply is marked Astec model SA201-3450-226.

ECO E01413


Ferrite Tie Wrap, June 1994

A tie wrap will be added to the ferrite bead surrounding the front panel cable wires.  A few field reports have noted that the plastic housing surrounding the bead broke, allowing the ferrites to come loose inside the system.

ECO E01610


Intel Inside Logo Addition, June 1994

Two Intel Inside Logos will be added to the product.  One approximately 1-inch label will be applied to the bezel in the upper left hand corner.  On the shipping container, one approximately 3½-inch label will be placed near one of the two product code labels.

ECO E01633


BIOS History

All Classic E-Series products utilize the Phoenix Technologies system BIOS incorporated in an Intel 28F001B FLASH EEPROM device.  This 1 Mbit (128 KB) FLASH device (part number 201358-020) resides at location U1 on the PB and is easily upgraded using the FLASH update utility FMUP.EXE.  The latest FLASH update utility and BIOS code can be downloaded from the iPAN bulletin board.  See the Classic E-Series General Information section for information regarding BIOS upgrades.

System Level Factory Testing

Intel's system level testing and Integration Center testing are the same.  After complete system assembly, the unit runs the SST (Single Step Test).  In this step a monitor, keyboard, mouse, test boards, and loopbacks are installed, and  DOS-based test routines run, exercising all installed hardware.  These routines are selected automatically via the network connection to our factory information system.  This test runs at factory ambient temperature.  At this point, the unit may be flash updated to the current BIOS, and the final shipping CMOS configuration is set.  A customer's application software can be installed if the workorder specifies this action.   Next, an EST (Extended System Test) runs for a minimum of 1 hour, typically 2-4 hours.  On the decision of the project team it may run up to 22 hours.

After the unit passes this test, the test equipment is removed and the unit is packaged for shipment.  A percentage of these units are audited by physical inspection and functional tests.

Testview, the DOS-based test routine, was written by Intel.  It is used by our board factories to run the at-speed tests as well as in our system factories for all our system-level testing.  This same software is used by our audit, repair, and field test personnel, and is available for customers.


Approved SIMM List

The following tables list SIMMs that are known to be compatible with the Classic E. SIMMs that are not listed also should function properly as long as their specifications are compatible with the devices listed below. In general, SIMM devices that are faster than those specified for a given platform will work although no extra performance will be realized.  The SIMM devices shown are categorized according to three levels of qualification:

1. Intel Approved and Tested:  The device has been electrically tested by Intel and is known to be compatible with the Classic E. In addition, the vendor has met or exceeded Intel's product change, quality control, and availability requirements and is listed on our Approved Manufacturing List.

2. Intel Tested: The device has been electrically tested at ambient temperatures running DOS-based applications and tests, and is known to be compatible with the specified platform(s).

3. Customer Tested: The device has been electrically tested by a customer and is reported to be compatible with the specified platform(s).

Intel recommends that SIMMs listed as (1) Intel Approved and Tested or (2) Intel Tested be used to ensure reliable system operation. SIMMs not listed or listed as (3) Customer Tested can be used; but, in the event of unreliable system operation, the SIMMs should be replaced with SIMMs tested by Intel (1 or 2) to determine whether the SIMMs are causing the problem.

IMPORTANT NOTE

SIMM devices with gold contacts should NOT be placed into SIMM sockets with tin-lead contacts or vice-versa. Mixing dissimilar metal contact types has been shown to result in unreliable memory operation. For more information, see FaxBack document 4229.

Telphone numbers are provided for your convenience.  These were accurate as of March 1994, but may change at any time without notice.

Fujitsu PN-N860-4700-T101 Keyboard Fails

The Fujitsu PN-N860-4700-T101 keyboard fails on the ClassicE system due to clock timing incompatibilities.  The duration of the keyboard clock high signal was observed to be approximately 67 micro seconds.  The timing specification allowed for this system is 30 to 50 micro seconds.  This timing consideration causes the keyboard to fail during initialization inconsistently.


Genoa Systems Video Card 8500VL Rev B and Later Sometimes Fails

November 14, 1994

Problem:

Problems have been noted with the Rev B and D of the Genoa Systems Model 8500 VL Video card.  Rev A of the card works properly.  Problems occur more often at cool temperatures or at initial boot after a long off-time.  Problems include freezing on the initalization of the game DOOM and fails 386MAX.

Resolution:

There is no workaround for this problem.  Intel does not support use of Rev B or higher versions of this card.


Some Boards Fail as Banyan Servers using Vines 5.54

October 18, 1994

While running the the system as a Banyan Server using Vines 5.54, the system panics.  Systems that fail can be identified by looking at U52 on the motherboard.  Boards with Opti 82C206 or Opti 82C206B parts run fine, however OPTi has discontinued manufacture of these parts.  Boards with Opti 206QE parts are unable to complete more than 30 minutes before the system does a PANIC.

All boards work fine as Banyan clients.

There is no resolution of this problem, as Opti 206QE parts are the only parts available.


Losing CMOS during integration or upgrading

June 21, 1994

A problem was seen in an integration line involving the reseting of CMOS.  The RTC circuitry is located between expansion slots 5, 6, and 7 and the edge of the motherboard.  It was found that if the adapter card mounting bracket touched down on this real time clock circuitry, it would ground the clock battery, and therefore lose CMOS.  The solution is to put anti-conductive tape on the RTC circuitry between the slots and the edge of  the motherboard, and use caution while entering the adapter cards.


VLBus video cards will not work with Drive Type 48

June 16, 1994  Updated September 1, 1994

A problem was seen with the Diamond Stealth 24 card as well as the Number 9 GXE VL card when they were installed along with their drivers on a DOS/Windows based machine.  If the hard drive uses drive type 48, a divide by zero/overflow error occurs when modifying virtual memory under Windows.  To correct the problem either change your hard drive to type 49, or change the user definable  drives in CMOS to 2 and 3 from 48 and 49.


Some IDE Drives Don't Work In Classic E, Classic S, or Classic R

May 18, 1994

IDE Drives that use the DMA Request line on Pin 21 of the IDE connector will not run in Classic E, Classic S, or Classic R boards.  These drives include the Seagate models 3250, 3391, 3491, and 6291, and Quantum LP525AT.  The Classic E, Classic R, and Classic S motherboards run the IOCHRDY signal to both pins 21 & 27 on the IDE connector.  These drives require pin 21 to be DMAREQ.  The design of the Classic motherboards was done to support some other drives.

The failure symptom for this problem is that the system hangs during power up.  As a workaround, cut pin 21 on the drive cable.


Diamond Computer Viper VLB Video Controller Card

April 28, 1994

Diamond Computer reports that their model Viper VLB E Series controller is the only Viper controller which will operate properly with Opti-based motherboards (including Intel's Classic E motherboard).  In addition, the ROM on the controller must be version 3.10.  Diamond Viper currently ships with ROM version 3.09, but Diamond will provide customers with version 3.10 upon request.  To get this ROM, call Diamond Technical Support at 408-736-2000.


Hapauge Win/TV Card Video Distortion

July, 30, 1993

PROBLEM:

Vertical lines appear when a video image is frozen and reloaded.  These lines do not appear on a real time image.  If the computer is run in a deturbo mode or if the cache is disabled in CMOS the vertical lines do not appear.

CAUSE:

The cache and the video card send signals to the same address region, at 15 MB to 16 MB, creating a dual porting of the cache.  This corrupts the signals, which creates the distorted image.

SOLUTION:

In order to eliminate the problem, without adversely affecting system performance, the system must be configured appropriately.  This requires the CMOS setting for cache to be enabled, with the block of cache from 15 MB to 16 MB disabled.  Putting a debug program in the autoexec.bat file will do this.

This line must be added to the autoexec.bat file:

c:\dos\debug < c:\(path)\cache.txt

With the text file, cache.txt, placed in the desired path:

o 22, 28

o 24, 60

o 22, 29This program disables two 512 KB blocks of cache.

o 24, F0of cache.  The lower case o at the start of each line

o 22, 2Ais a letter.  All 0's after the commas are zeros.

o 24, 60

o 22, 2B

o 24, F8

By adding these files to your system the Win/TV card and the Classic-E are fully compatible.


Cirrus 5426 Video Controller Bug

8/10/93

PROBLEM:

The Cirrus 5426 AB-step video controller has a bug which affects certain configurations of the Classic-E.  If this controller is used on VESA Local bus video card, and the Classic-E has external cache memory installed, incorrect characters may be displayed on the screen.  This problem has been confirmed on the STB Horizon VL and the Genoa Systems WindowsVGA 24 card, both of which use the Cirrus controller.

SOLUTION:

This problem is due to a bug in the controller chip that shows up during certain cache memory cycles.  Cirrus will correct the bug in the AC-step of the 5426.  An alternative work around is to create a debug script that slows the cache operation from 0 wait states to 1 wait state.  This can be done by modifying the last two bits of register 21 in the OPTI 82C495.   To determine the proper debug commands, enter DEBUG at the dos prompt, then do the following:

o 22 21	;Read the current value of Reg 21.  For example, the result will be 97H.
i 24	;Verify the value, then subtract 3 for the correct input value to enter into the CACHE_1.TXT program.  This sets the lower 2 bits to zero.
Quit debug, and create  a new file named CACHE1.TXT with the following DEBUG commands:

o 22 21	;This outputs the new value to Reg 21.  It assumes the
o 24 94	;  original value of Reg 21 was 97.  Modify the value for your particular application.
Add the following command to the AUTOEXEC.BAT file:

c:\dos\debug < c:\(path)\cache1.txt


Base Memory Above 512K Option in BIOS

PROBLEM:

Early releases of BIOS for Classic E included a choice in setup page 3 for Base Memory Above 512K.  This option has been removed because it was never an available option.  The OPTi chipset does not allow selection of Base Memory above 512K.  It is always set to Base Memory of 640KB.

SOLUTION:

There is no workaround for this problem.


Large Hard Drives, Maximum Cylinders is 1024

02/9/94

PROBLEM:

There are many IDE hard drives now available in capacities greater than 500MB.  The BIOS for Classic E cannot support a logical cylinder value greater than 1024.  The IBM BIOS specifies 10 bits for the cylinder size.  10 bits = 1024 physical.  The BIOS works with the hard drive's disk partition table (located on the boot record, the first sector of the disk).  The disk partition table as defined by DOS also provides only 10 bits for the cylinder number.

The BIOS for Classic E contains this limitation, and will not be changed.  Some other BIOS and some hard drives use Logical Block Addressing (LBA) to allow full use of these larger hard drive capacities.  An example of this capability is the AMI-based BIOS for Premium/PCI.

SOLUTION:

The logical cylinder value in CMOS must be set to a maximum of 1024. The extra capacity within the hard drive will not be usable.  For the Quantum LPS540AT, the drive parameters should be set to:

QUANTUM LPS540AT	Cyl	Hd	Pre	LZ	Sec	Size
	1024	16	0	0	59	472
Quantum recommends adjusting the cylinder setting to 1024, even though the maximum cylinders for this drive is 1120.

For other large drives, consult the drive manufacturer's user manual for the recommended drive parameters.


FLASH Recovery Doesn't Work with DOS 6.0

01/12/94

PROBLEM:

We recently discovered that the FLASH recovery code BIOS (used in all of our Phoenix BIOS-based platforms) has a problem which causes a hang condition when performing a FLASH recovery sequence with a DOS 6.0 boot diskette.  The problem is caused by the fact that the recovery code disables interrupts and DOS 6.0 has a feature that allows AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS to be bypassed with a keystroke (F5) during bootup within a certain time period. Since the timer and keyboard interrupts are disabled by the boot block, DOS 6.0 never reaches a timeout condition and the system hangs.

BIOS 1.00.04.AB0 and all succeeding BIOS revs for the Classic E Expandable Desktop System corrects this problem.  The recovery code is located in the boot block area of the FLASH device.  Because the boot block area is write protected, a FLASH update to existing units in the field will not correct the problem.  Systems with FLASH parts containing the old code can be identified by examining the part number on the label located on the FLASH component.  The FLASH component is located at U1, components with part number 613079-001 and lower have the problem.  In Classic E systems, U1 is located beneath the 3.5" drive cage.

SOLUTION:

The problem only occurs during a FLASH recovery process, and only if a DOS 6.0 boot diskette is used to start the recovery process. Earlier DOS versions work with no problem.  If you have a system with the affected boot block code, use a bootable diskette formatted by DOS 5.0 or earlier.


System Memory Usage of E0000-EFFFF

2/25/94

PROBLEM:

Some users want to enable and use the address range E0000-EFFFF.  This is not possible.  There are limitions of the OPTi chipset which make this area reserved.  After POST, the BIOS will retain write-protection of this block of memory.

SOLUTION:

There is no workaround for this issue if access to physical E0000 is required.  However, some virtual memory managers, such as EMM386, allows use of E000 page frame.  This is virtual memory and not actual physical memory.  These virtual memory applications will work fine in the Classic E system.


False virus, Diskwasher [GENB], reported by McAffee Scan Version 1.12

04/13/95

PROBLEM:

McAffee Associates software, SCAN.EXE version 1.12, will give false indication that a virus has been detected in the memory of "some" Phoenix BIOS based computers.  Intel has verified this false report on the Classic-E.

SOLUTION:

Use McAffee versions 1.11 or earier, or 1.13 and later.


Turbo/Deturbo Switching

3/15/94

PROBLEM:

Customers have requested a program to switch between Turbo and Deturbo modes on Classic E.  The keyboard hot-key sequences require user interaction.  Unfortunately, the Opti chipset has limitations which prevent any switching from being reliable.  The keyboard hot-key sequence remains the only valid switch option.

SOLUTION:

Other than the keyboard hot-key sequences, there is no reliable method to change between Turbo and Deturbo.

Introduction to the Classic E-Series

A classic expandable

Intel's Classic E-Series offers an affordable solution to the OEM or Custom Solution Provider seeking maximum flexibility and expandability in an industry-standard Baby-AT chassis. Besides delivering the needed "slots and watts" for integration, the Classic E has performance headroom for the future with economical upgrades to OverDrive™ processors that are based on Pentium™ microprocessor technology. All standard I/O features are integrated on the motherboard, and one of the seven available expansion slots accepts VESA-standard local bus add-in cards.

The standard for expandability

The Classic E-Series Platform is built with custom configurations in mind. All five peripheral bays provide external access for up to three half-height 5¼" devices and two one-inch high 3½" drives. All seven 16-bit ISA expansion slots are full length. One slot also accepts a VL-Bus card to allow the user to tap into the full processing speed of the CPU. All of the slots are available because standard I/O features have been integrated on the motherboard, including two serial ports, a parallel port, a keyboard connector, the floppy disk controller and an IDE hard disk controller. Electrical requirements for the add-in cards and peripherals are never a problem with the ample 200-watt power supply. System memory expands to a total of 64 MB.


Board Features Menu

The Intel486™ Classic E-Series opens the door to solid high performance, expandability, and upgradeability for users requiring slots and watts for their add-in devices. For OEMs and VARs adding a lot of value to the base platform, the Classic E-Series is a logical successor to systems with Intel 386 CPUs.

Standard configurations of the E-Series come with either an i486 SX/25 or an i486 DX/33 microprocessor, but the platform also provides a 238-pin socket for upgrading CPU performance with any i486 OverDrive™ Processor or future OverDrive components based on Pentium™ microprocessor technology.

The Classic E-Series makes the integrator's job easy by providing seven ISA bus slots and five peripheral expansion bays. The seven ISA slots all support full-length ISA cards. In addition, one of the slots accepts a VESA Local Bus slave add-in card.  The platform ships with one 4 MB SIMM installed, and supports up to 64 MB of system memory using the motherboard's four 36-bit SIMM sockets.

All standard I/O features are integrated on the motherboard. Included are the floppy drive and IDE hard disk controllers and connectors, two DB9 RS-232 serial port connectors, a bi-directional parallel port, and an AT style keyboard connector.

The motherboard complies with the Baby-AT form factor, allowing OEMs to purchase their own off-the-shelf chassis, if desired.

CPU

Intel486™ Classic E-Series is offered with three base CPU options: an i486™ SX CPU running at  25 MHz, an i486 DX CPU running at 33 MHz, or an i486 DX2 CPU running at 66MHz. This provides a  price/performance range to fit a variety of customer application needs.

The Classic-E supports all i486 CPU functionality. Common features of the three CPUs include backward compatibility with the 8086, 80286, and i386™ CPUs, burst mode bus cycles, and an on-chip 8 KB cache. The cache is 4-way set associative, uses a write-through policy, and can be disabled via software. The i486 DX contains an on-chip numeric coprocessor to increase the speed of floating point operations. This coprocessor is backward code compatible with i387 DX and i387 SX math coprocessors and complies with ANSI/IEEE standard 754-1985. The i486 SX CPU does not include the numeric coprocessor.

For CPU Upgrades, see User-Installable Upgrades.


Performance Upgrades

Upgrades to higher performance are easy using the Performance Enhancement Socket incorporated into the Classic E-Series platform. The socket accepts Intel OverDrive processors for significantly faster CPU performance and number-crunching capabilities. To improve floating-point performance alone, an i487 SX component can be added to systems based on the i486 SX CPU.

For CPU Upgrades, see User-Installable Upgrades.


VESA Local Bus

The system supports high speed graphics through a VL-Bus connector in slot 1 on the system board.  Using this local bus, the system CPU communicates directly with an optional graphics board rather than through the ISA bus.  The connector is for a target board only, no master board. The circuitry on the Classic E does not include the Bus Mastering signals.  Most drive controller VESA cards require Bus Master slots and these will not operate in the Classic E system.


Optional Second Level Cache

The Classic E-Series supports an optional secondary cache using industry-standard SRAM.  DIP sockets on the motherboard allow cache sizes of 64 KB, 128 KB, or 256 KB. The OPTi 486SXWB chipset includes a direct-mapped, write-back cache controller.

For Cache Upgrade information, see User-Installable Upgrades.


Technical Product Summary Information - Board Features Menu - System Memory
System Memory

The Classic E-Series memory subsystem consists of four logical banks, each containing one 36-bit SIMM socket. Standard configurations ship with one 4 MB (1 Mb x 36) SIMM installed in Bank 0. The user may expand system memory to a maximum of 64 MB by adding SIMMs sequentially to Bank 0 (U5), followed by Bank 1 (U12), Bank 2 (U16), and Bank 3 (U20). Each bank supports 80 ns fast page mode SIMMs. Faster DRAM can be installed, but there will be no improvement in system performance.

For more information, see Approved SIMM List  and Performance Upgrades.


National PC87311 (Super I/O)

The serial ports, parallel port, floppy and IDE hard drive interface are incorporated into a single component, the National PC87311AVF. This component provides:

• Two NS16450 UARTs (No 16-bit FIFO support)

• IBM and Centronics compatible bi-directional parallel port

• Industry standard floppy controller (2.88 MB floppy support)

• IDE hard disk decode and chip select

Note:  some later boards will ship with the National PC87312 Super I/O component, but inventory may be mixed to allow manufacturing flexibility; therefore, the Classic E specifications are limited to 450-compatable UARTs.  The PC87312 component provides two NS16550 UARTs.

Keyboard Controller

An Intel 8242 surface-mount microcontroller (at location U4) contains the Phoenix Technologies PS/2 compatible keyboard controller. An AT-style keyboard connector is located on the back panel. The microcontroller supports Power-On/Reset (POR), and keyboard password protection. The POR password can be set via the SETUP program. In addition, the keyboard controller provides these "hot key" sequences:

•	CTRL-ALT-DEL: System software reset. This sequence performs a software reset of the system by jumping to the beginning of the BIOS code and running POST, excluding memory tests.

•	CTRL-ALT-1 and CTRL-ALT-2: Turbo mode selection. CTRLALT1 sets the system for de-turbo mode (emulation of an 8 MHz 80286 CPU using wait states) and CTRLALT2 sets the system for turbo mode (normal operation). Changing the Turbo mode may be prohibited by an operating system or application software.  Note:  there is not a programmatic process to switch between Turbo and Deturbo modes.

•	CTRL-ALT-+ and CTRL-ALT--: Keyclick.


Real Time Clock, Battery-backed CMOS RAM, and Battery

The real-time clock (RTC) and battery-backed CMOS RAM are contained within the OPTi 82C206.  This provides a clock accurate to 12 minutes/year, 14 bytes of CMOS RAM for time keeping, and 50 bytes of general non-volatile RAM for storage of setup information. All CMOS RAM is reserved for BIOS use. A jumper on the baseboard or a setup option can be used to set system CMOS to its default values.

Power is provided by a 4.5V Ray-O-Vac alkaline battery attached to the inside of the chassis. The expected life of the battery is 3 years. A replacement battery providing 3.6V, 4.5V or 6.0V can be installed using the connector at J17.


Phoenix Technologies System BIOS

The E-Series uses a Phoenix Technologies BIOS to provide ISA compatibility. A 1 Mbit FLASH EEPROM device (Intel 28F001B at location U1) incorporates the BIOS and facilitates easy BIOS upgrades. Upgrading the BIOS is as simple as running a utility from the floppy drive. Upgrades will be available for download on iPAN, the electronic bulletin board service of IntelTechDirect™. Classic-E supports video and system BIOS shadowing, allowing for the execution of any BIOS routine out of fast 32-bit onboard DRAM memory instead of the slower 8-bit FLASH device.

BIOS IDENTIFIER/REVISION LEVEL

The E-series BIOS sign-on during POST is 1.00.01.AB0.  As BIOS updates occur, the BIOS revision number will increment by one (eg; 1.00.01.AB0 moves to 1.00.02.AB0).  For more information, see BIOS Revision History.

FLASH Implementation

The Intel 28F001B 1 Mbit FLASH component is organized as 128 Kbit X 8 (128 KB). The Flash device is divided into five areas, as described in the table below.

System Address		FLASH Memory Area
F0000H	FFFFFH	64 KB Main BIOS
EE000H	EFFFFH	8 KB Boot Block (Not FLASH erasable)
ED000H	EDFFFH	BIOS Reserved
EC000H	ECFFFH	4 KB Parameter Block (BIOS Only)
E8000H	EBFFFH	CMOS Setup
E0000H	E7FFFH	Bios Reserved
The FLASH device resides in system memory in two 64 KB segments starting at E0000H, and is distributed in two different organizations, depending on the mode of operation. In Normal Mode address line A16 is inverted, switching the E000H and F000H segments so that the BIOS is organized as shown in the system address column above. Recovery mode removes the inversion on address line A16, swapping the E000H and F000H segments so that the 8 KB boot block resides at FE000H where the i486 expects the bootstrap loader to exist. This mode is only necessary in the unlikely event that a BIOS upgrade procedure is interrupted, causing the BIOS area to be left in an unusable state.

Upgrade Utility

The disk-based FLASH upgrade utility (FMUP.EXE; download from iPAN) has three options: the FLASH BIOS can be updated from a disk file; the current BIOS code can be copied from the FLASH EEPROM to a disk file as a backup in the event that an upgrade cannot be successfully completed; or the BIOS in the FLASH device can be compared with a disk file to ensure the system has the correct BIOS version.

Setup Utility

Classic E-Series incorporates many commonly used system setup features into the FLASH EEPROM. The setup utility is accessible only during the Power-On Self Test by pressing the <F1> key. A screen prompt for this key press can be enabled or disabled. The ROM-based setup allows the system configuration to be modified without opening the system for most basic changes.  For more information, see CMOS Setup Usage.

CPU Upgrades

The Classic E-Series i486 SX/25 model incorporates a two-site CPU design, providing for a variety of upgrade possibilities. The first socket site (U59) contains the i486 SX/25 PQFP CPU soldered to the baseboard. The second socket site (U58) is the OverDrive Processor Socket, and will accept an OverDrive processor or an i487 SX math coprocessor. Refer to the table below when installing any upgrade processor or validating existing processor jumper positions.

The Classic E-Series i486 DX/33 does not use the PQFP CPU site (U59).  Instead, the i486DX CPU is  installed in the 238-pin upgrade socket (U58). Upgrading the i486 DX model requires removing the main CPU from the low insertion force socket and replacing it with an upgrade processor. The table below lists the variety of CPU upgrade options for the Classic-E.

Chassis

The Classic E-Series easily provides the expandability required for most traditional PC applications − five peripheral bays, seven ISA slots, an ample 200 Watt power supply and an additional fan, located at the front left side of the chassis, to help keep the system cool. The user can access all five peripheral bays from the front of the chassis. System security is provided by a mechanical keyboard lock and a BIOS password feature. Classic-E also meets stringent environmental requirements.


Peripheral Bays

Five expansion bays are available for peripherals and other add-in devices. These include three 5¼" half-height bays and two 3½" one-inch bays. All of the drive bays are accessible from the front panel.


FAN

The Classic E-Series has two fans to keep the system cool. One fan within the power supply provides 28 cfm of air movement. The second fan, located behind the card guide, provides 26 cfm across the add-in cards and the CPU. The second fan receives 12 Vdc directly from the baseboard at stake pin location J29.


Expansion slots

The Classic E-Series has seven 16-bit ISA card slots, as shown inthe board layout diagram. All seven slots (J20, J21, J22, J23, J24, J26 & J28) support full-length ISA cards. Tandem slots J27 & J28 support an ISA card, but also accept a target VESA Local Bus card.


VESA Local Bus Slot

The VESA local bus slot supports any target (slave) VL card that meets the VESA local bus specification. The slot is a direct connection to the CPU local bus, allowing the installed VL card to operate at the processor speed instead of the slower speed of the ISA bus. I/O add-in peripheral cards designed to support the VL bus benefit from the direct connection to the processor bus.  Because the VL slot is slave only, add-in cards which require bus master slots cannot be used.  Common bus master cards include SCSI controllers and IDE controllers.  However, the VL slot will accept most graphics VL cards.


Front Panel

The Classic E-Series front panel consists of a power switch, a hardware reset switch, a power-on LED,  a hard disk access LED and a keyboard lock. All five peripheral bays also are accessed from the front panel.


Back panel

The back panel consists of access panels for the expansion slots (one location is unused), two DB9 RS-232 serial ports, a bi-directional parallel port, an AT-style keyboard connector, a 115/230 voltage switch, a power supply input, an auxiliary power output and the power supply fan.


Power Supply

The Classic E-Series integrates a 200 watt switchable power supply for all onboard resources, add-in cards, and peripherals. The Astec Corp. model SA201-3440 supports operating settings at 100-120 VAC (5 Amps AC) or 200-240 VAC (3 Amps AC). The input voltage is selected using a switch on the back of the system.

Floppy Drive

Classic E-Series integrates a 3½" Teac Floppy drive Model FD-235HF into the right 3½" bay. This is the same proven floppy disk drive that has been used on many previous Intel systems.


Speaker

The standard system ships with an external speaker installed. The user may enable/disable the device using the Setup utility or program the speaker via port 61H. The speaker provides error beep code information during POST if the system cannot use the video interface. The E-Series product guide (Order # 612169-001) contains detailed beep and error code information.


Security

SYSTEM Keylock

BIOS Password


SYSTEM Keylock

When engaged, the system keylock  prevents keyboard input. Each system is provided with a set of two identical keys.


BIOS Password

A BIOS password feature provides security during the boot process. A password can be entered using the Setup utility and must be re-entered prior to disk boot each time the system is reset. The password can be changed by entering <old password>/<new password>/<new password><enter>. If the password is forgotten, it can be cleared by turning off the system and setting jumper J7 to 1-2. After the system has finished the Power-On Self Test, turn the system off and reset the jumper to 2-3. This allows the user to again access the password feature, but with the forgotten password cleared.


Chassis color

The chassis color is beige. For touch-up paint, Sherwin Williams LG1 OPEX Lacquer number L99XXW92 can be obtained from any Sherwin Williams paint dealer.  Have the dealer call (503)223-8131 for the formulation.  The bottom and back of the chassis are not painted.

Reliability Data

The Mean-Time-Between-Failures (MTBF) data is calculated from predicted data @ 35C and 55C.

The following table shows predicted results.  For calculation of baseboard MTBF, Intel uses supplier data for digital ICs and belcore calculations for all other components.  For system level MTBF calculation, Intel uses the result of the base board calculation and combines this data with supplier data for other sub-assemblies.

Classic E-Series baseboard (4 MB)	74,987 hours @ 55°C, 100% duty cycle
MTBF of above baseboard  without SIMMs:	75,497 hours @55°C, 100% duty cycle.
