DESCRIPTION
BASE SYSTEM
The GEARBOX Model 800 provides a major step forward in the world of
rugged, high-availability industrial computers. As a member of the
GEARBOX family, the Model 800 carries on the valued reliability and
availability in demanding environments that characterize the product
line. In addition, the GEARBOX Model 800 brings a new level of IBM
performance and flexibility to industrial applications, including
support of the PLANT FLOOR SERIES (TM) Distributed Automation Edition
(TM) products and related application programs.
The new system uses the Personal System/2 (R) (PS/2 (R)) Micro
Channel architecture and a 16/32 bit bus to enhance overall system
capabilities, and provide compatibility with selected features
available from the broad and growing list of PS/2 functions and
applications. Integration of many functions on the standard system
cards leaves a higher number of slots available for customer use (up
to seven on the Model 040).
(R) Registered trademark of International Business Machines
Corporation.
The GEARBOX Model 800 is based on an Intel 80386
microprocessor, operating at 25 MHz, and supports an optional 80387
Math Co-Processor. The base memory is 8MB on the Model 150, or 4MB
(expandable to 8MB) on the Model 040. In addition, the Model 800
will support the 0-16MB Extended Memory Adapter (#6345). All memory
is Error Correcting Code (ECC). Performance is further enhanced
through 32KB of Cache Memory on the Processor Card, a 120MB SCSI Disk
Drive with 23ms access time, and 0.5MB of DASD Cache Memory on the
Disk/Diskette Adapter Card. A second 120MB Disk Drive is an optional
feature.
The Disk/Diskette Adapter Card also contains an external SCSI
interface for customer use. Use of this interface requires that the
customer provide a software device driver for interface to the
intended operating system. No such software device driver file is
provided with the system.
The GEARBOX Model 800 is supported by IBM PC DOS
(Version 3.30/4.0) and OS/2 (SE Version 1.1/1.2 and EE
Version 1.1/1.2) operating systems.
Language extensions for PC DOS and OS/2 will be available in
March of 1990, to take full advantage of the unique error
notification and orderly shut-down/start-up capabilities of the
system.
Five IBM personal computer software languages are supported:
o BASIC Compiler/2 (TM)
o C/2 (TM)
o FORTRAN/2 (TM)
o Macro Assembler/2 (TM)
o Pascal Compiler/2 (TM)
(TM) Trademark of International Business Machines Corporation.
The GEARBOX Model 800 includes a 300 total watt worldwide,
autoranging power supply, which features two fans to assure system
cooling. The Model 800 also provides for DC voltage start-up and
operation through one of two optional External Voltage Modules (EVM).
Operation at 24, 48, or 60V is supported. The selected EVM also
provides the means for external battery backup to assure continuity
of system operation in the event of main power loss. An available
internal battery will assure continuity of operation through brief
main power disturbances, and also provide for an orderly shutdown
period if main power is lost and no external battery backup is in
place.
NOTE: Either the internal battery or an EVM (with connected external
DC voltage source) must be ordered and installed to retain system set
up information during periods when the system is shutdown.
A Three Port Cable Assembly is included for connection from
the System Resource Card in the system to various other standard
connectors (serial parallel). The standard system can be panel
mounted. Rack mounting is also available.
Two configurations of the GEARBOX Model 800 are available.

(TM) Trademark of International Business Machines Corporation.
NEW FEATURES: The GEARBOX Model 800 supports a number of new
features, intended to provide the customer with flexibility in
configuring a system for a particular application.
All features can be installed by the customer. None are
available for factory installation.
BATTERY, NICAD (INTERNAL) (#6221): This internally mounted battery
allows continuous operation through brief main power interruptions
(nominal 1.5 seconds default). Also, if the interruption continues
beyond this period, the battery maintains DC voltages to allow the
system to perform an orderly shutdown.
NOTE 1: Either this battery or an EVM (#6231 or #6528) must be
ordered and installed to retain system set up information during
periods when the system is shut down.
NOTE 2: Under hardware control the time for shutdown is limited to a
maximum of 10 seconds. Control of shutdown may be conveyed to
software, but even then, depending on the load on the power supply,
the battery capacity, and thus the time for shutdown, may be limited
to a 10 second period. If this is not adequate for the operating
system and applications running on the system, the customer should
provide external battery backup, which requires an External Voltage
Module (#6231 or #6528).
DISK MODULE (#6222): The Disk Module allows for adding DASD to a
Model 040. The Disk Module consists of a double-wide shroud and a
Disk/Diskette Adapter Card, to be plugged into the Model 040 frame in
place of two empty card shrouds. The Disk/Diskette Adapter Card
contains 0.5MB of DASD Cache Memory, and supports up to two 120MB
Disk Drives and a 1.44MB Diskette Drive installed inside the shroud.
The Disk/Diskette Adapter Card also contains an external SCSI
interface for customer use. Use of this interface requires that the
customer provide a software device driver for interface to the
intended operating system. No such software device driver is
provided with the system or feature.
120MB DISK DRIVE (#6223): The 120MB Disk Drive is the same as the
drive that comes standard on the Model 150. The 120MB Disk Drive can
be used along with the Disk Module to provide a disk drive on the
Model 040, or can be added to the Model 150 to provide a total of
240MB of Disk Drive capacity.
16 BIT MICRO CHANNEL ADAPTER (#6224): The 16 Bit Micro Channel
Adapter allows the plugging of selected 16 bit Micro Channel cards
with a PS/2 form factor into the GEARBOX Model 800 Backplane. The
Display Adapter 8514/A (#4054) must use the 16 Bit Micro Channel
Video Adapter (#6225) for installation in the GEARBOX Model 800.
NOTE:
o Refer to the list of PS/2 and other adapters that are supported
on this system. The 16 bit Micro Channel Adapter must be used to
install any supported feature card in the Model 800, except for
those that are in the GEARBOX form factor.
o PS/2 adapters should not be installed in the slot #9 position.
This is due to limitations with setup and diagnostic code
recognizing such adapters in that position.
16 BIT MICRO CHANNEL VIDEO ADAPTER (#6225): This 16 Bit Micro
Channel Video adapter is required for installing the Display Adapter
8514/A (#4054) in the system.
NOTE: PS/2 adapters should not be installed in the slot #9 position.
This is due to limitations with setup and diagnostic code recognizing
such adapters in that position.
1.44MB DISKETTE DRIVE (SLIM-LINE) (#6229): The 1.44MB Diskette Drive
is the same as that which comes installed on the Model 150. The
1.44MB Diskette Drive can be used along with the Disk Module (#6222)
to provide diskette function on a Model 040. The Model 150 is
limited to one diskette drive and cannot accept the 1.44MB Diskette
Drive in addition to the already installed device.
SETUP AND SERVICE DEVICE (#6230): The Setup and Service Device is a
stand-alone 1.44MB, 3.5-inch diskette drive and cable in an
enclosure, which must be used during initial system set-up and to
load diagnostics and record test results on a Model 040 (no DASD
model). The cable plugs into a port on the System Resource Card.
NOTE: Due to the limitations on the diskette drive and media
involved, this device is limited to physical environments that do not
exceed 0 to 50 (degs) C (32 to 122 (degs) F), and which meet the
reduced gaseous capabilities of the diskette media (Refer to the
TECHNICAL INFORMATION section).
This device is intended as a setup and service tool, and is
not recommended for a continuous operating requirement.
EXTERNAL VOLTAGE MODULES (#6231 AND #6528): These EVM features allow
the connection of an external DC voltage source either for additional
battery backup to the main AC power, or as a main DC power source.
EVM #6231 must be used when the external source is 24 volts. EVM
#6528 must be used when the external source is 48 or 60 volts. No
other external voltages are to be used as a main source or as a
backup.
NOTE: Either one of these EVMs (with a connected external DC voltage
source), or the internal nicad battery (#6221) must be ordered and
installed to retain system set up information during periods when the
system is shut down.
CARD SHROUD (MACHINE TYPE 7568) (#6530): This Card Shroud is the
same as those that come standard on the system. The Card Shroud
permits installation of adapter cards in extra shrouds for immediate
insertion in a GEARBOX Model 800 system, without having to open an
installed shroud/card assembly for replacement of the card in the
shroud. The Card Shroud could also be used to fill the open
positions if the Disk Module were to be removed from a Model 150
system (two Card Shrouds would be needed).
NOTE: The Card Shroud (#6530) is not compatible with the IBM 7552
Industrial Computer Processor and System Resource cards, due to
different locations of openings in the shroud for LED indicators.
80387 MATH CO-PROCESSOR (25 MHZ) (INDUSTRIAL) (#6532): The 80387
Math Co-Processor provides additional processing power and
performance for application programs requiring many or repetitive
arithmetic calculations. The 80387 conforms to the ANSI/IEEE
floating-point standard, and runs most applications written for
80286/80287 and 8086/8087 based systems, unmodified. This option is
installed in the Math Co-Processor socket on the Processor Card, and
does not require an expansion slot. The 80387 Math Co-Processor
(Industrial) has been modified to meet the environmental requirements
of the GEARBOX system.
SUPPORT TO PREVIOUSLY ANNOUNCED FEATURES: The GEARBOX Model 800
supports the following previously announced features. All these
feature cards require one of the Micro Channel adapter features
(#6224 or #6225) for installation, except for the 0-16MB Extended
Memory Adapter (#6245).
