INTRODUCTION

Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION

1.1

ABOUT THIS GUIDE

This guide provides technical information about the Compaq Deskpro EP Series of Personal

Computers. This document includes information regarding system design, function, and features

that can be used by programmers, engineers, technicians, and system administrators.

1.1.1

USING THIS GUIDE

This guide consists of chapters and appendices. The chapters primarily describe the hardware

and firmware elements contained within the chassis and specifically deal with the system board

and the power supply assembly. The appendices contain general information about standard

peripheral devices such as the keyboard as well as separate audio or other interface cards, as well

as other general information in tabular format.

1.1.2

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION SOURCES

This guide does not describe in detail other manufacturer’s components used in the product

covered. For more information on individual commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) components refer

to the indicated manufacturers’ documentation. The products covered by this guide use

architecture based on industry-standard specifications that can be referenced for detailed

information.

Hardcopy documentation sources:

♦ The Lotus/Intel/Microsoft Expanded Memory Specification, Ver. 4.0

♦ PCI Local Bus Specification Revision 2.1

Online information sources:

♦ Compaq Computer Corporation: http://www.compaq.com

♦ Intel Corporation: http://www.intel.com

1.2 NOTATIONAL CONVENTIONS

1.2.1 VALUES

Hexadecimal values are indicated by the letter “h” following an alpha-numerical value. Binary

values are indicated by the letter “b” following a value of ones and zeros. Memory addresses

expressed as “SSSS:OOOO” (SSSS = 16-bit segment, OOOO = 16-bit offset) can be assumed as

a hexadecimal value. Values that have no succeeding letter can be assumed to be decimal.

1.2.2 RANGES

Ranges or limits for a parameter are shown as a pair of values separated by two dots:

Example: Bits <7..4> = bits 7, 6, 5, and 4.

1.2.3 SIGNAL LABELS

Signal names are indicated using abbreviations, acronyms, or, if possible, the full signal name in

all capital letters. Signals that are meant to be active low are indicated with a dash immediately

following the name.

1.2.4 REGISTER NOTATION AND USAGE

This guide uses standard Intel naming conventions in discussing the microprocessor’s (CPU)

internal registers. Registers that are accessed through programmable I/O using an indexing

scheme are indicated using the following format:

03C5.17h

Index port

Data port

In the example above, register 03C5.17h is accessed by writing the index port value 17h to the

index address (03C4h), followed by a write to or a read from port 03C5h.

1.2.5 BIT NOTATION

Bit values are labeled with bit <0> representing the least-significant bit (LSb) and bit <7>

representing the most-significant bit (MSb) of a byte. Bytes, words, double words, and quad

words are typically shown with most-significant portions on the left or top and the least-

significant portions on the right or bottom respectively.
