SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT AND USABILITY The display, keyboard, power management, and packaging technologies used in the PS/2 Model L40 SX improves user satisfaction with the convenience and usability of AC/DC portables. The design provides: o Convenient weight and size for carrying in a briefcase or via the standard or optional carrying cases: - The standard carrying case is included with each PS/2 Model L40 SX system. It is a thin, leather, black case with a shoulder strap, a compartment for the system unit, and several small pockets for carrying diskettes. - The optional deluxe carrying case is a black, cloth case with pockets and compartments to carry portable options or business materials in addition to the system unit. - The optional travel case is a black, molded plastic, luggage type case with easy rolling wheels, a handle for carrying, and a telescopic handle for pulling. The interior is padded and contains space for portable options or peripherals, and business materials, as well as the system unit. It conforms to FAA luggage regulations which allow it to be carried on board aircraft. o Easy to read, 10-inch Supertwisted Nematic (STN) Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) with 640 X 480 Video Graphic Array (VGA) resolution, and cold fluorescent sidelighting with a 12 to 1 contrast ratio. Depending on the application, up to 32 grey scales can be addressed on the LCD. It displays black characters on a white background with 80 characters per line and 25 lines per screen. o Familiar IBM Keyboard layout with 84/85 keys and an external, 17 key numeric keypad totaling 101/102 full size keys. The location, size and spacing of the keys will be familiar to users of the IBM enhanced keyboard. o Adaptable two-sided pointing device (Trackpoint) option used to control cursor movement. One side supports trackball operation and the other side is used as a mouse. o Efficient power management: - To allow productive use of the mobile user's time, a suspend/resume function is provided. An application is suspended by closing the clamshell leaving the power switch on. When the clamshell is opened, the application resumes at the point it was suspended. During suspension system components are automatically powered off except for the real time clock and application memory. The system can be set to resume at a specific time of day. - For changing the rechargeable battery pack without disrupting the application, an internal backup battery is provided. - To reduce the frequency of recharging the batteries, trickle recharging occurs during AC operation. - To prolong battery life between recharges, a switch is provided for user selection of manual or automatic mode. In automatic mode, the hardware initiates low clock speed operation during idle periods. In manual mode, the processor runs at the default clock speed set by the user when the system is configured. The clock speed settings are 20, 10, and 5MHz. - To conserve battery power, the hardware supports sleep mode. Sleep mode conserves battery power during idle times between clock cycles and key strokes by putting system components in an idle state resulting in low power usage. Sleep mode is not operational when an external display is attached. This function is exploited by DOS and OS/2 (R). Application, operational, operating system, and environmental characteristics will affect actual battery duration between recharges. o Informative LCD display with international symbols that indicate operational and environmental status including battery gauge, dew point (humidity), temperature limit indicator, modem carrier detect, numeric lock, scroll lock, speaker enabled, suspend mode, diskette drive in use, and fixed drive in use. INVESTMENT PROTECTION The PS/2 Model L40 SX is designed as a compatible member of the PS/2 family using the IBM DOS or OS/2 operating systems. Users of IBM keyboards and software should adapt to the new PS/2 Model L40 SX quickly. Mobile professionals who already have compatible peripherals and applications may view the portable PS/2 Model L40 SX as an extension of their current investment strategy. STATEMENT OF GENERAL DIRECTION IBM intends to provide an AC powered expansion unit for the PS/2 Model L40 SX to provide connectivity to IBM 3270, 5250 and Token-Ring networks using the Personal Computer AT (R) half sized adapter cards. Any other half size adapters that may be supported will be identified at announcement. (R) Registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation.
