Built on the IBM Micro Channel architecture, these PS/2 Model 90 XP 486 systems include a processor complex that contains the new double-clocked Intel i486DX2-50 microprocessor and support chips. This processor provides exceptional price performance characteristics by operating internally at double the clock speed of the support chips necessary for external operations. This design allows compute-intensive applications to be performed at 50MHz speed, while external operations can be supported by less expensive 25MHz support chips. In addition, this processor contains an integrated floating-point processor for numeric-intensive applications, an internal memory cache controller, and 8KB of internal cache. As with all PS/2 Model 90 XP 486 systems, customers can protect their system investment as their needs change by upgrading to higher performing processor complex cards, such as the IBM PS/2 Enhanced 486/50 Processor Upgrade Option. The PS/2 Model 90 XP 486 systems provide four internal fixed disk bays and four 32-bit Micro Channel adapter slots. (One slot is used for the 32-bit SCSI adapter.) Up to 1.2GB of internal data storage capacity can be achieved in the Model 90-0LF with the addition of two IBM PS/2 400MB SCSI Fixed Disk Drive options.) The IBM PS/2 SCSI Adapter with Cache allows configuration flexibility and a multitude of up to seven SCSI devices to be attached to the PS/2 Model 90 XP 486 (a maximum of three SCSI fixed disk drives are supported internally). Technologies such as the IBM PS/2 3.5-inch Rewritable Optical Drive and 5.25-inch CD-ROM can be cost effectively installed either internally or externally without adding additional adapters. The PS/2 Model 90 XP 486 systems support up to 64MB of memory on the planar, thereby allowing system memory growth while eliminating the need to consume expansion slots to increase system memory. USER PRODUCTIVITY User productivity is significantly enhanced by the many features of the PS/2 Model 90 XP 486, particularly with the performance and functional enhancements of the PS/2 Models 90-0L9 and 90-0LF. Additional functions and benefits include: o The powerful i486DX2-50 processor operating at 50MHz internal speed, with an integrated numeric processing unit and 8KB of internal cache, can execute compute-intensive applications quickly and efficiently. o The 32-bit bus master IBM PS/2 SCSI Adapter with Cache can transfer data at burst speeds of up to 16.6MB/second while providing adapter support for multiple and various SCSI devices. o 8MB of fast, 70 nanosecond (ns) memory is standard on the system board of these PS/2 Model 90 XP 486 systems. While 80ns memory SIMMs are supported, 70ns memory provides optimum memory subsystem performance. o High performance XGA graphics: 1024 x 768 with 16 colors. The user can expand the XGA resolution to 1024 x 768 with 256 colors with the addition of one PS/2 Video Memory Expansion Option. o The selectable boot feature allows the user to boot from any drive and in any sequence. Licensed System Programs allow easy upgrade to Basic Input Output System (BIOS). o The 2.88MB Diskette Drive stores twice the amount of data of current 1.44MB diskette drives, while maintaining read/write compatibility with 720KB and 1.44MB diskette drives. SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT The following features of the PS/2 Model 90 XP 486 make it well suited for customers who require business solutions that will simplify the management of their data processing systems: o Standard PS/2 Micro Channel architecture o Easy-to-install system and options o Hardware and software compatible with the wide range of existing non-IBM Micro Channel compatible adapters and applications available from independent hardware and software vendors. PRODUCT POSITIONING The PS/2 Model 90 XP 486 (0L9 and 0LF) systems are designed for computing environments requiring very high levels of processor performance and graphics support, large memory, and a moderate degree of internal device expansion capability. These full-function, desktop models are especially well suited to meet the technical workstation needs of customers with high performance graphics applications requiring 50MHz processor performance with numeric coprocessing capability. These system attributes are also desirable in business applications that have multitasking, compute-intensive requirements.

COMPATIBILITY: Refer to the 8590 Sales Manual pages, or contact your IBM representative, for a complete list of supported features and options and compatible IBM and vendor software. The Sales Manual is updated periodically. The PS/2 Model 90 XP 486 contains licensed System Programs, which include set configuration and features, test, copy an option diskette, backup/restore and update System Programs. These licensed System Programs are stored in a 3MB protected partition on the fixed disk drive. The initial machine load (IML) loads the BIOS program from the fixed disk drive into system memory. BIOS provides the hardware instructions and interfaces designed to support the standard features of the PS/2 Model 90 XP 486 to maintain compatibility with many software programs currently operating under DOS and OS/2 on the Personal Computer XT (TM), Personal Computer AT (R) and the PS/2 family. However, due to the higher speed of the i486DX2-50 processor in the Model 90 XP 486 systems, some timing-sensitive software may require modification. The PS/2 Model 90 XP 486 Reference Diskette contains an update program (DISK386.SYS) and an installation program. The update program maintains compatibility between SCSI devices, IBM DOS and some of the following types of programs that assumes the fixed disk drive will utilize the system direct memory access (DMA) controller: o Multitasking DOS programs o Programs written for the 80386 microprocessor only o Programs that use the virtual 8086 mode of the 80386 microprocessor o Programs that emulate expanded memory specification (EMS) in extended memory. The update program should only be installed when applications providing DOS and/or memory extensions fail to work properly. For example, an application may fail to load and return the DOS prompt or when attempting to access a SCSI device, the system may hang, or the screen may go blank. With this update program installed, a buffer is provided in the first megabyte of system memory, which serves as an intermediate location for data being transferred between the SCSI adapter and the requesting program buffer. While this update program allows applications that utilize the system DMA controller to run, some performance degradation in file access time may be experienced. Only after problems have been experienced, and the performance implications considered, should this update program used. The Extended Graphics Array (XGA) is designed to be compatible with applications written to the following interfaces: o IBM VGA hardware interface in all operating environments. There are minor differences between the IBM VGA hardware interface and the XGA hardware support of the VGA interface. However, these differences are not expected to affect any applications. o Adapter Interface (AI) of the 8514/A under DOS. o OS/2 Presentation Manager (R) of the 8514/A. o OS/2 DOS Compatibility Box in VGA modes. NOTE: XGA does not support the applications written to the 8514/A hardware registers or the AI of the 8514/A under OS/2. (TM) Trademark of International Business Machines Corporation. (R) Registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation. LIMITATIONS: The PS/2 Model 90 XP 486 supports a maximum of 64MB of memory, 16MB of which are addressable by direct memory access (DMA). The PS/2 Model 90 XP 486 supports 2MB, 4MB and 8MB memory SIMMs (70 and 80ns only). Refer to the PROGRAMMING REQUIREMENTS section for operating systems limitations. The licensed System Programs include set configuration and features, copy an option diskette, test, backup/restore and update System Programs. These licensed System Programs are stored in a 3MB protected partition on the fixed disk drive. The formatted capacity is therefore reduced by 3MB (three million bytes), and the total user accessible capacity may vary slightly based on operating environments. This protected partition is not affected when the drive is formatted using the Format command in DOS or OS/2. The licensed System Programs are also provided on the PS/2 Model 90 XP 486 Reference Diskette. The following Micro Channel adapters and options are not supported by the PS/2 Model 90 XP 486: o IBM Personal System/2 Display Adapter 8514/A o IBM Personal System/2 3117 Adapter/A o IBM Personal System/2 5.25-inch External Diskette Adapter/A (#8760, 6450245) o IBM Personal System/2 High Speed Adapter/A o IBM Personal System/2 1MB Memory Module Kit-85ns (#5212, 6450603) o IBM Personal System/2 2MB Memory Module Kit-85ns (#5213, 6450604) o IBM Personal System/2 80386 Memory Expansion Option 2MB Kit (#3077, 34F3077) o IBM Personal System/2 80386 Memory Expansion Option 4MB Kit (#3011, 34F3011) o IBM Personal System/2 80386 Memory Expansion Option (#3019, 6450367) o IBM Personal System/2 8MB 80386 Memory Expansion Option (#5211, 6450605) o IBM Personal System/2 3.5-inch 2.88MB Slim High Diskette Drive (#1106, 6451106) o IBM Personal System/2 5.25-inch Diskette Adapter/A (#1007, 6451007) o IBM Personal System/2 4869-001 5.25-inch 360KB External Diskette Drive o IBM Personal System/2 4869-002 5.25-inch 1.2MB External Diskette Drive o IBM Personal System/2 5.25-inch 1.2MB Internal Diskette Drive (#1006, 6451006) replaced by 6451066 (which does not require an adapter card) o IBM 3117 Scanner o IBM 3118 Scanner o IBM Personal System/2 256KB Level 2 Cache Option (#1098, 6451095).
