IBM PERSONAL SYSTEM/2 (TM) MODEL 80 (8580-311) IBM Announcement Letter Number 187-150 dated August 4, 1987 IBM US - Last Revised on August 4, 1987 Brief Description of Announcement, Charges, and Availability The IBM Personal System/2 Model 80 (8580-311) enhances the Personal System/2 family of systems by offering a standard 314MB Fixed Disk Drive and the capability to expand to 628MB of fixed disk storage. This system is highlighted by the Micro Channel (TM) Architecture with a 20 MHz INTEL 80386 32-bit microprocessor, high density memory technology, and a wide range of integrated features. With the capability of supporting up to 16MB of high speed (80 ns) real memory, up to 628MB of disk storage, advanced graphics, and an optional 20 MHz 80387 Math Co-processor, this system offers a wide range of application opportunities. Designed to meet the requirements of the multitasking environment, the IBM 8580-311 allows for a full 32-bit large system architecture and function within an individual workstation. The IBM 8580-311 is designed to maintain compatibility with most existing licensed programs for IBM personal computer systems. Purchase Price: 8580-311 $13,995 314MB Fixed Disk Drive Feature $6,495 Planned Availability: 8580-311 and 314MB Fixed Disk Drive Feature -- first quarter 1988 (TM) Trademark of the International Business Machines Corporation. Customer Letter Section HIGHLIGHTS The new 8580 Model 80 (8580-311) features the following: o Micro Channel Architecture with a 16- and 32-bit bus o 80386 (20 MHz) Microprocessor o 80 nanosecond memory, 1 megabit chips, up to 16MB o Multitasking and communications capabilities o High level of graphics and text quality o Large capacity 314MB fixed disk and 1.44MB, 3.5-inch diskette drive o High level of feature integration on the system board o Ease of installation and configuration o Universal power supply with Auto-Restart. DESCRIPTION The IBM Personal System/2 Model 80 (8580-311) is a high-end solution within the IBM Personal System/2 family. This floor-standing system has 2MB of system board memory (upgradable to 4MB) and a 314MB fixed disk drive (upgradable to 628MB). The IBM 8580-311, designed specifically for the business office environment, incorporates the latest IBM technologies in an innovative package. This system unit features the Intel 80386 20MHz microprocessor and the Micro Channel Architecture. The 80386 is partitioned into six functional units that can process multiple instructions simultaneously for improved performance. The 32-bit architecture of the microprocessor is extended throughout the IBM 8580-311 system design, improving overall performance. The Micro Channel Architecture supports both 16- and 32-bit Input/Output (I/O) and memory adapters. The advantages of adapter recognition (no setup switches) are offered for easy configuration, and improved diagnostic and fault isolation for better availability. In addition to the 20MHz processor speed, the standard Page Memory Logic on the system board enhances system performance by allowing the system to operate even faster with most applications. The system unit comes standard with: o 2MB of system board memory o 1.44MB, 3.5-inch diskette drive o 314MB fixed disk drive o Disk controller adapter o Integrated diskette controller o Keyboard port o Serial port o Parallel port o Pointing device port o Video Graphics Array (VGA) port. The VGA port supports modes (640 X 480 graphics, 720 X 400 text), and compatibility with the Monochrome Printer Adapter (MPA), the Color Graphics Adapter (CGA), and the Enhanced Graphics Adapter (EGA). This high level of feature integration on the system board reduces the requirements for optional adapters. The system has two levels of BIOS that total 128KB. There is a compatibility BIOS (CBIOS) with memory addressability of up to 1 megabyte that provides compatible support for current application programs. An additional version of BIOS, advanced BIOS (ABIOS) has extended memory addressability (up to 16 megabytes) and provides support for multitasking operating systems. Additional features of the system unit include: o Eight I/O bus slots (five 6-bit, three 16/32-bit (one 16-bit slot is occupied by the disk controller adapter)) o 225-watt universal power supply o Time/date clock with a lithium battery o Additional positions for a second 5.25-inch fixed disk drive and for a second 3.5-inch diskette drive. If the power supply outputs drop out of regulation due to an AC line outage, the Auto-Restart feature enables the power supply to automatically restart when AC power returns. This feature provides increased availability of the system unit by allowing it to be programmed for unattended restart after power outages. The IBM 8580 supports the IBM 8503, 8512, 8513, and 8514 analog displays that, together with the VGA built-in function, provide significant enhancements to graphics and text capabilities. This ability to display more colors using larger palettes with enhanced addressability widely expands new application opportunities. NEW FEATURE IBM PERSONAL SYSTEM/2 314MB FIXED DISK DRIVE FEATURE (#6023) (6450381): The 314MB Fixed Disk Drive Feature is available on the IBM 8580-071, 8580-111 and 8580-311. This feature attaches via the high performance Enhanced Small Device Interface (ESDI) disk drive adapter provided with the system unit and does not require an additional expansion slot. The fixed disk not only features a large storage capacity, but also reduces the average seek time to 23ms, making it the fastest fixed disk in the Personal System/2 family.

COMPATIBILITY: The IBM Personal System/2 Model 80 (8580-311) is designed to maintain compatibility with many software products currently operating under IBM DOS on the IBM Personal Computer XT (TM), the IBM Personal Computer AT (R) and the IBM Personal System/2 family. (R) Registered trademark of the International Business Machines Corporation. (TM) Trademark of the International Business Machines Corporation. LIMITATIONS: The IBM 8580-311 supports a maximum of 16MB of memory. (The 16-bit channel of the direct memory access (DMA) addresses only 16MB.) PLANNING INFORMATION CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES: The IBM Personal System/2 Model 80 (8580-311) is designated as customer setup (CSU). Setup instructions are included with the system and features. CSU allowance is one day. CABLE ORDERS: There are no cabling requirements, other than for system power and display connections. Cables are provided with the system unit, display and keyboard, and the instructions are provided as part of initial setup. INSTALLABILITY: By following the setup instructions, the user attaches the keyboard and peripherals and inserts the Reference Diskette. Power is then turned on and Set Configuration is run after the computer has successfully completed its internal self-tests. PROBLEM DETERMINATION: If a failure is found at initial installation, an instruction will appear on the screen. If the test is successfully completed, the system attempts to load an operating system from the A drive. If an operating system is not found, the system attempts to load one from the C fixed disk drive. If an operating system is not found, the user will be prompted to insert a diskette via an icon. A final default is provided through the use of a ROM-loaded BASIC interpreter as explained in the Quick Reference manual. PACKAGING: The IBM 8580-311 is packaged in two separate cartons. The system unit carton (8580-311 -- 6452056) contains the system unit.
