Title

IBM ValuePoint - Machine Type 6381
Abstract

The IBM ValuePoint 6381 expands the IBM ValuePoint line with entry systems that address the computing needs of large, medium, and small businesses as well as individuals. The IBM ValuePoint 6381 have been designed to provide value, function and quality at a competitive price point.

IBM ValuePoint 6381 is a new family of systems powered by either and Intel 486SX-25 or 33 or 486DX-33 processor. These systems are packaged in a 3 bay and 3 slot mechanical design to provide expansion and investment protection. The IBM ValuePoint 6381 like other ValuePoint models is offered as a diskette model with a range of fixed disk that can be ordered.

DOS 5.02 and Microsoft Windows 3.1 will be preinstalled on systems ordered with a fixed disk. The IBM Mouse is included with preloaded systems.

Note: The DOS/Windows preload will be upgraded to PC DOS 6.1 beginning October 5, 1993. Some countries may be delayed due to the availability of NLS. In those cases PC DOS 5.02 will continue to ship until PC DOS 6.1 is available. :note: The DOS/Windows preload will be upgraded to PC DOS 6.3 and Windows 3.1 or 3.11 (depending upon MS translation) beginning July 17, 1993.

Models ordered without a fixed disk will not have an operating system preload or a mouse shipped with the system.

The IBM ValuePoint Models 6381 will be identified as the 425SX/Si (486SX-25), 433SX/Si (486SX-33) and 433DX/Si (486DX-33) on their front bezel.

---KEYBOARD---

The IBM ValuePoint 6381 standard keyboard is the new IBM Basic Keyboard. This keyboard is a 102 key keyboard providing the same layout and appearance as the IBM Enhanced Keyboard. The IBM Enhanced Keyboard is available on the ValuePoint Model 6381 for an upgrade fee.

---MEMORY---

IBM ValuePoint 6381 come standard with a minimum of 4MB of system memory.

    Max memory on planar: 64MB (4 sockets X 16MB SIMMs)
    Max addressable memory on system: 64MB 

(NOTE: Customers and dealers should review the Memory Table in the Installing Options Manual prior to purchasing additional memory for installation after initial purchase as some memory simms are not supported in combination.)

           an UPGRADE PRICE.

ORDERING, INSTALLED AND OPTIONAL PART NUMBERS Three Part Numbers (PN) will be shown for some options. ORDERING PN'S are provided for keyboard, system memory, first fixed disks and for the preload operating system These ORDERING PN'S must be used to "customize" the configuration being ordered. Pricing for memory above 4MB will be "UPGRADE PRICE" to the base model price. While 4MB system memory is PRICED in the Base system it is not assumed in the System Part Number. Memory MUST be ordered in all cases including 4MB system memory. As noted above system memory greater than 4MB will be "Upagrade Priced". The IBM Basic Keyboard is standard in the Base Model. The IBM Enhanced Keyboard is available for an UPGRADE PRICE. INSTALLED PN's must be used for other options to be installed at time of system manufacture. OPTIONAL PN's must be used for options ordered separately or for those options not intsalled under the system covers (Displays, cables, etc.) NOTE: These ordering part numbers are used for configurating (ICPA), tracking and measuremnt purposes and therefore must not be modified in UPOS for local use.

    PC/DOS 5.02
    PC/DOS 6.1
    PC/DOS + WINDOWS 3.1
    OS/2 1.30.1 SE and EE
    OS/2 1.30.2 SE and EE

NOTE: Operating System and video graphics driver support is required for IBM ValuePoint 6381 SVGA graphics capabilities. SVGA support may not be available on some operating systems.

NOTE: The ValuePoint 6381 will have Novell certification at general availability.

BIOS

FLASH ROM will support Compatibility BIOS (CBIOS) and POST.

Compatibility

The IBM ValuePoint 6381 are compatible with the IBM Personal Computer, Personal Computer XT (TM) and Personal Computer AT (R) at the BIOS interface level (BIOS not identical) and at most hardware interfaces. The IBM ValuePoint 6381 have been designed to maintain compatibility with existing personal computer software and non-timing dependent features. Due to the high level of integration, some features, such as Personal Computer XT and Personal Computer AT memory upgrades and graphic adapters are not supported.

The IBM ValuePoint 6381 has not been tested with all non-IBM features/options. (TM) Trademark of International Business Machines Corporations
(R) Registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation .

Limitations

    With 32 bit addressing the maximum memory address space on IBM ValuePoint 6381 models is 64 Megabytes (MB). Of this 64MB memory address space, the system requires 384K for its use. This leaves the customers with a maximum of 63.6MB of the memory address space for their usage. An additional 128KB of the memory address space is required for system usage if BIOS/POST is copied to RAM for execution.
    72-pin (80ns, 70ns) single RAS Memory SIMMs, 64MB maximum memory.
    Maximum External (L2) cache memory supported is 256KB (Mxx models).
    Maximum Video RAM supported is 1MB.
    Maximum number of hard files supported is 2.
    Maximum IDE hardfile size supported is 528MB.
    Maximum number of 2 diskette drives supported
    SVGA DOS/Windows support is on the video driver diskettes shipped with the systems
    The IBM Token Ring Network Adapter II is designed and recommended to be used in systems with a maximum of 16MB of memory.
    If all I/O card slots are populated, average wattage of the I/O cards should be limited to 8.5 Watts. Populating all I/O card slots with options that have an average load of greater than 8.5 Watts will cause recommended thermal limits in the I/O card area to be exceeded. 

Planning Information

Customer Responsibilities

The IBM ValuePoint 6381 are designated as customer setup (CSU). CSU allowance is one day.

Cable Orders

There are no cabling requirements, other than for system power, keyboard and mouse connections. All cables are provided with the system unit and the instructions are provided as part of initial setup.

Installability

The IBM ValuePoint 6381 is designed to function in either the horizontal (desktop) or vertical position using an approved floor stand. The following floor stand is approved for PS/ValuePoint systems: For information call your IBM HelpWare Number.

By following the setup instructions, the user attaches the keyboard, peripherals, and verifies that the AC voltage switch on the power supply is set to the correct position. Power is then turned on and Setup is run after the computer has successfully completed its initial self-tests.

The Configuration Utility resides in ROM. In some instances the user will be prompted to run this utility, or the user may invoke it by pressing the "F1" key during memory POST.

The IBM ValuePoint 6381 have a universal power supply with an external switch and may, therefore, be used worldwide.

Problem Determination

If a failure is found at initial installation, a message will appear on the screen. If POST 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 drive. If an operating system is not found, the user will be prompted to insert a diskette via an icon.

The troubleshooting procedures consist of a power-on self test and easy-to-follow troubleshooting charts designed to assist the user in isolating a defective machine element. The failing element: display, keyboard, or mouse, can then be replaced or repaired under existing warranty provisions.
