MACHINE REQUIREMENTS: The IBM Personal System/2 (tm) Model 30 286
(8530-H21)  requires  an  analog display (8503, 8512, 8513, 8514,
4707 or equivalent).
The IBM Personal System/2 Model 30 286 with  the  Video  Graphics
Array  (VGA)  port  provides  a RAM loadable character generator.
This allows any code page that  utilizes  one  of  the  supported
system  software text modes to be loaded.  IBM DOS 3.3 or DOS 4.0
provides  this  capability  for  the  following   14   languages:
Canadian-French,  Danish,  Dutch, English (U.K.), English (U.S.),
Finnish,  French,  German,  Italian,  Latin   American   Spanish,
Norwegian,  Portuguese,  Spanish  (Spain)  and  Swedish. National
Language Supplements are available for Arabic and Hebrew.
PROGRAMMING REQUIREMENTS:
o IBM Disk Operating System (DOS) Version 3.3 or 4.0
o IBM Operating System/2 Standard Edition 1.1
COMPATIBILITY:  The  IBM  Personal  System/2  Model  30  286   is
compatible  with  the IBM Personal Computer, Personal Computer XT
and Personal Computer AT at the BIOS level and at  most  hardware
interfaces.  The  Model  30  286  has  been  designed to maintain
compatibility  with  existing  personal  computer  software   and
non-timing   dependent   features.  Due  to  the  high  level  of
integration, features such as  IBM  Personal  Computer,  Personal
Computer  XT and Personal Computer AT memory upgrades and graphic
adapters are not supported.  Specific hardware products, features
and software products that have been tested and are supported  in
the  Model  30 286 environment are listed in separate attachments
at the end of this announcement letter.
LIMITATIONS: Additional memory installed on the Personal System/2
Multifunction Adapter (30F5364) can only be used  in  a  Personal
System/2  Model  30  286  with  0.5MB  of memory installed on the
system board.
The ability to use a non-IBM memory expansion  card  in  the  IBM
Personal  System/2  Model  30  286  is  dependent  on  the card's
flexibility in establishing  its  starting  memory  address.  The
amount   of   planar   memory   (standard   plus  kits)  and  the
corresponding starting memory addresses  is  illustrated  in  the
following table:
                                Expansion Card
      Planar Memory             Starting Address
      -------------             ----------------
        512KB                        512KB
          1MB                   1MB + 384KB
          2MB                   2MB + 384KB
          4MB                   4MB + 384KB
Memory  expansion  cards must support the listed starting address
to properly operate in a system with a  given  amount  of  planar
memory.
IBM  Disk  Operating System (DOS) 3.3 MODE will not support 19200
baud on the Model 30 286. DOS 4.0 will support 19200 baud on  the
IBM PS/2 Model 30 286.
The following memory expansion adapters and/or memory module kits

are not supported on the IBM PS/2 Model 30 286:
o 2MB Expanded Memory Adapter (P/N 2685193; FC#5193).
o 80286 Memory Expansion 1MB Option (P/N 6451001; FC#3006).
o 80286 Memory Expansion 1MB Kit (P/N 6451002; FC#3012).
o 80286 Expanded Memory Adapter/A (P/N 1497252; FC#3920).
o 80286 Expanded Memory Adapter/A (P/N 1497259; FC#7259).
X.25 support will be available 4Q/88 and requires version 1.11 of
the control program.
A  new  Token-Ring  Network  Adapter  Card  supports the 8530 286
attachment to a Token-Ring Network.  If FC# 5733 is used to order
this adapter (16F0500), a Guide To Operations (P/N 96X5733)  will
also  be included.  If the adapter is ordered by P/N 16F0500 (for
example by dealers), the Guide To Operations  -  English  96X5733
must also be ordered (separately).
PLANNING INFORMATION
CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES: The IBM Personal System/2 Model 30 286
is  designated  as  customer setup (CSU). Set-up 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 to connect a display. Instructions are provided
as part of initial system setup.
INSTALLABILITY: Using the setup instructions, the  user  attaches
the  keyboard  and peripherals and installs any special features.
Power is then turned on and setup is run  as  instructed  on  the
screen. To simplify setup, the Personal System/2 Model 30 286 has
a  universal  power  supply  with  an  external  switch  and may,
therefore, be used worldwide.  Additionally, there are  no  setup
switches.
PROBLEM  DETERMINATION:  At  power on, if a failure is found with
the starter diskette installed, an  instruction  appears  on  the
screen.  If  the test successfully completed, the system attempts
to load an operating system first from the A drive, and then from
the C drive . If an  operating  system  is  not  found,  a  final
default is provided through use of a ROM loaded BASIC interpreter
as more fully explained in the Guide to Operations (GTO).
The  troubleshooting  procedures consist of a power-on self-test,
diagnostic  tests,  and  easy-to-follow  troubleshooting   charts
designed  to  assist  the  user  in isolating a defective machine
element. The failing element can then  be  replaced  or  repaired
under existing warranty provisions.
PACKAGING:
The IBM 8530 286 will be packaged as follows:
Systems  Unit Box - System Unit, Keyboard cable 3 meters (9 feet)
and multilingual Inventory Checklist
Individually Supplied Items:
Publication  -  System  Guide  To  Operations  including  Starter

NOTES:
1.  The  2MB Expanded memory Adapter (XMA) is not compatible with
the 8530 286 because its fastest operating speed is 8MHz and  the
8530  286 runs at 10MHz.  Workstation Program could not be tested
because no XMA capability exists on the 8530 286.
2. The X.25 Adapter card was incompatible when used with the  X25
Comms.  Support  Prog.  Version  1.10.    A  version 1.11 support
program will be available 4Q/1988.  This new version  was  tested
and performs satisfactorily.
3.  To use the external 5.25 inch diskette drive requires a cable
assembly (see Accessories).
4. For the Data Migration Facility to work requires the use of  a
8530  286 specific version of RECV35.COM which is supplied on the
Starter diskette.
5. A new Token-Ring Network Adapter Card supports  the  8530  286
attachment to a Token-Ring Network.  If FC# 5733 is used to order
this  adapter (16F0500), a Guide To Operations (P/N 96X5733) will
also be included.  If the adapter is ordered by P/N 16F0500  (for
example  by  dealers),  the Guide To Operations - English 96X5733
must also be ordered (separately).
