Notebook Accessories and System Options
It is also important to understand the accessories that come along with the notebook and the
options for fully utilizing the capabilities of the computer. This section describes briefly what
these accessories and options are.
1.5.1
AC Adapter and Power Cord
The AC Adapter supplies external power to your computer and at the same time charges the
internal battery pack. The AC adapter has an auto-switching design that can connect to any
100VAC ~ 240VAC power outlets. Connect the adapter to the AC wall outlet using the power
cord. You just change the power cord if you are going to use your notebook in other countries
with different connector outlets. When you connect the AC adapter, it charges the battery
whether or not the notebook computer is powered on. There is an LED on the AC adapter to
indicate if DC power is already available.
1.5.2
Battery Pack
Aside from the AC adapter, your computer can also be powered through the internal battery
pack. The battery pack uses rechargeable Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) battery cells that provide long
computing hours when fully charged and power management enabled. You should always
leave the battery inside your computer even when using the AC adapter as it also acts as a
back-up power supply in case power from the AC adapter is cut off. It is also very important to
have the battery pack always charged to prevent battery cell degradation.
1.5.3
Internal Modem Module
The notebook allows you to insert a proprietary internal 56Kbps-modem card to the notebook
found on the underside of the notebook. The internal modem card supports only fax and data
communication and is V.90-compliant. You connect the telephone line to the RJ-11 jack found
on the rear side of the notebook.
1.5.4
Internal Ethernet LAN Module
This notebook comes with an optional 10Base-T/100Base-TX LAN module that supports data
transfer rates at 10Mbps and can be up to 100Mbps.
1.5.5
DVD-ROM Drive
Other than the internal CD-ROM drive, the notebook also provides optional factory built-in
DVD-ROM drive. DVD-ROM drives are also backward compatible with CD-ROM, so you can
also use any audio CDs, video CDs, photo CDs, and CD-R. Using a software MPEG-2/DVD
program, the notebook can playback any commercial DVD movie titles.
1.6
System BIOS SETUP Program
Your computer is likely to have been properly setup and configured by your dealer prior to
delivery. However, you may find it necessary to use the computers BIOS (Basic Input-Output
System) Setup program to change system configuration information, such as the current date
and time, or your hard disk drive type. The Setup program can be accessed when you power
on the system and pressing the <F2> function key.
The settings that you specify within the Setup program are recorded in a special area memory
called the CMOS RAM. This memory is backed up by a battery so that is will not be erased
when you turn off or reset the system. Whenever you turn on the computer, the system will
read the settings stored in the CMOS RAM and compare them to the equipment check
conducted during the Power On Self Test (POST). If an error occurs, an error message will be
1-15

displayed on the screen, and you will then be prompted to run the Setup Program.
As the POST (Power-On Self Test) executes during the boot up process, the screen will
display the following message:
Press <F2> to Enter SETUP
Press the <F2> key to run the BIOS Setup program. The BIOS Setup program is organized
into five menus which you can select using the and keys. To move from one option to
another, you use the up and down arrow keys while using the <F5> and <F6>, or <+>and <->
keys to change the settings. On the right hand side of the screen are some brief help
descriptions of each item you want to change.
On the BIOS Setup program, you will find the following parts on the screen:
Item Specific Help

Panel Type Initialization
The VGA BIOS will issue INT 15h function call during POST. This function call allows
the system BIOS to specify the panel type to the VGA BIOS. The system BIOS should
get the panel type from GPIO pins before the VGA chip initialized, and pass this
information to VGA BIOS through INT 15 Function 4E00h.

3.3.4 Enhanced IDE

The system BIOS must be ready to support 4 IDE devises on two controllers. The BIOS
support Ultra DMA33/66/100 and also supports automatic configuration of drives using both the
LBA and CHS large drive remapping method. In addition to supporting standard drives through an
auto-configuration process that does NOT require user involvement or confirmation. The system
should automatically do this at POST time in a way that is transparent to the user. If a drive is
connected to the bus, the drive should be automatically recognized, configured and available for
use under MS-DOS 6.2x.
3.3.5
Audio
The audio subsystem will support the requirements identified by the AC97 specification. Both
software and hardware will control the volume level for the internal audio subsystem. In
addition to the volume control, the user will be able to mute the sound to completely cut off
the volume using both software and hardware.
3.3.7
PCMCIA
The PCMCIA controller chip of the notebook provides the following features:
Individually accessed, dual-buffer implementation

Support for 2 separate CardBus slots (one type III or two type II stacked)

ACPI
General Requirements
The BIOS must meet the following general Power Management requirements:
Refers to the portion of the firmware that is compatible with the ACPI 1.0b specifications.
Support for Power ON(S0 state), Suspend-to-RAM (S3 state) , Suspend-to-Disk mode (S4
state) and Soft OFF(S5 state).
Global System State Definitions

Global system states (Gx states) apply to the entire system and are visible to the user.
Following is a list of the system states:
G0/S0 - Working:
A computer state where the system dispatches user mode (application) threads and they
execute. In this state, devices (peripherals) are dynamically having their power state
changed. The user will be able to select (through some user interface) various
performance/power characteristics of the system to have the software optimize for
performance or battery life. The system responds to external events in real time. It is not
safe to disassemble the machine in this state.
G1 - Sleeping:
A computer state where the computer consumes a small amount of power, user mode
threads are not being executed, and the system appears to be off (from an end users
perspective, the display is off, etc.). Latency for returning to the Working state varies on the
wakeup environment selected prior to entry of this state (for example, should the system
answer phone calls, etc.). Work can be resumed without rebooting the OS because large
elements of system context are saved by the hardware and the rest by system software. It is
not safe to disassemble the machine in this state.
G2/S5 - Soft Off:

A computer state where the computer consumes a minimal amount of power. No user
mode or system mode code is run. This state requires a large latency in order to return to
the Working state. The systems context will not be preserved by the hardware. The system
must be restarted to return to the Working state. It is not safe to disassemble the machine.
G3 Mechanical Off:
A computer state that is entered and left by a mechanical means. It is implied by the entry of
this off state through a mechanical means that the no electrical current is running through
the circuitry and it can be worked on without damaging the hardware or endangering the
service personnel. The OS must be restarted to return to the Working state. No hardware
context is retained. Except for the real time clock, power consumption is zero.
Sleeping State Definitions

Sleeping states (Sx states) are types of sleeping states within the global sleeping state,
G1. The Sx states are briefly defined below. For a detailed definition of the system
behavior within each Sx state, refer to ACPI specification section 7.5.2. For a detailed
definition of the transitions between each of the Sx states, refer to ACPI specification
section 9.1.
S1 Sleeping State:
The S1 sleeping state is a low wake-up latency sleeping state. In this state, no system
context is lost (CPU or chip set) and hardware maintains all system context.
1-50
S3 Sleeping State:
The S3 sleeping state is a low wake-up latency sleeping state where all system context is
lost except system memory. CPU, cache, and chip set context are lost in this state.
Hardware maintains memory context and restores some CPU and L2 configuration context.
Control starts from the processors reset vector after the wake-up event.
S4 Sleeping State:
The S4 sleeping state is the lowest power, longest wake-up latency sleeping state
supported by ACPI. In order to reduce power to a minimum, it is assumed that the hardware
platform has powered off all devices. Platform context is saved in disk.
S5 Soft Off State:

The S5 state is similar to the S4 state except the OS does not save any context nor
enable any devices to wake the system. The system is in the SOFT off state and requires a
complete boot when awakened. Software uses a different state value to distinguish between
the S5 state and the S4 state to allow for initial boot operations within the BIOS to
distinguish whether or not the boot is going to wake from a saved memory image.
System Power Plane

The system components are grouped as the following parties to let the system to control the
On/Off of power under different power management modes.

Battery Management
3.5.1 Battery Sub-system

The charger will stop charge the battery when the following condition is detected.
- The temperature of the system is too high
- The remaining capacity is 95% and more.
Note that the battery life is depending on different configuration running. E.g. with CD-ROM
battery life is shorter, document keyin only battery life is longer, PMU disable battery life is short,
PMU enable battery life is longer.
- Battery reading methodology is through PMU08 SMBus.
3.5.2 Battery Low

When the battery voltage is approaching to the Low level, the PMU08 will generate a
1-55

battery low SMI. The system will do the following action.
1) The Power Indicator will become blinking.
2) The system will issue a Warning beep.
3.5.3 Battery Low - Low

When the battery voltage is approaching to the Low-Low level, the PMU08 will
generate a battery low-low SMI. The system will do the following action.
1) The Power Indicator will keep on Blinking.
2) The system will enter Suspend To Disk mode even the power management is disabled. The
function of power-on or Resume will be inhibited until the battery Low Low condition is
removed.
3.5.4 AC Adapter
When plug in the AC adapter, the system will do the following action:
- The charger will charge the Main Battery, if remaining capacity is not full.
- The Battery Charging Indicator will turn on if the battery is in changing mode.

PMU08
The Embedded controller PMU08 acts as a supplement for power management control. It
supports a lot of functions via SMBus interface.

Security
The user may enter up to 8 standard text characters for a password. The password includes
two levels. The higher priority is the Supervisor Password. The lower priority is the User Password.
The Supervisor Password can access all the system resource, while the User Password may not
access the floppy disk when it is protected by Supervisor Password. When the security function is
enabled, the system will request the user to enter password during the following situation.
I. Power On: The system will prompt the user to enter the password before booting the
OS. If the user key in the wrong password for 3 times, then the system will halt.
II. Resume: The system will prompt the user to enter password while resuming from STR
or STD mode. If the user keys in the wrong password for 3 times, the system will not
resume and should return to Suspend mode again.
III. Entering CMOS Setup: The system will prompt the user to enter the password before
entering the CMOS Setup. If the user keys in the wrong password for 3 times, then the
system will halt.

System Processor (CPU)
The FIC MB05 runs on Intel Banias based on uFCPGA packaging. It supports CPU with up to
1.3/1.5 GHZ clock speed rating. The processor operates in conjunction with the RAM and
ROM memory and the system control logic to process software instructions (BIOS, Windows,
and Applications).
Intel Pentium M Features

The Intel Pentium M processor is a high performance, low power mobile processor with
several micro-architectural enhancements over existing Intel mobile processors.
The following list provides some of the key features on this processor:
Supports Intel Architecture with Dynamic Execution
High performance, low-power core
On-die, primary 32-kbyte instruction cache and 32-kbyte write-back data cache
On-die, 1-MByte second level cache with Advanced Transfer Cache Architecture
Advanced Branch Prediction and Data Prefetch Logic
Streaming SIMD Extensions 2 (SSE2)
400-MHz, Source-Synchronous processor system bus
Advanced Power Management features including Enhanced Intel SpeedStep technology
Micro-FCPGA and Micro-FCBGA packaging technologies
The Intel Pentium M processor is manufactured on Intels advanced 0.13 micron process
technology with copper interconnect. The processor maintains support for MMX technology
and Internet Streaming SIMD instructions and full compatibility with IA-32 software. The high
performance core features architectural innovations like Micro-op Fusion and Advanced Stack
Management that reduce the number of micro-ops handled by the processor. This results in
more efficient scheduling and better performance at lower power. The on-die 32-kB Level 1
instruction and data caches and the 1-MB Level 2 cache with Advanced Transfer Cache
Architecture enable significant performance improvement over existing mobile processors.
The processor also features a very advanced branch prediction architecture that significantly
reduces the number of mispredicted branches. The processors Data Prefetch Logic
speculatively fetches data to the L2 cache before an L1 cache requests occurs, resulting in
reduced bus cycle penalties and improved performance.
The Streaming SIMD Extensions 2 (SSE2) enable break-through levels of performance in
multimedia applications including 3-D graphics, video decoding/encoding, and speech
recognition.The new packed double-precision floating-point instructions enhance performance
1-79

for applications that require greater range and precision, including scientific and engineering
applications and advanced 3-D geometry techniques, such as ray tracing.
The Intel Pentium M processors 400-MHz processor system bus utilizes a split-transaction,
deferred reply protocol. The 400-MHz processor system bus uses Source-Synchronous
Transfer (SST) of address and data to improve performance by transferring data four times
per bus clock (4X data transfer rate, as in AGP 4X). Along with the 4X data bus, the address
bus can deliver addresses two times per bus clock and is referred to as a double-clocked or
2X address bus.Working together, the 4X data bus and 2X address bus provide a data bus
bandwidth of up to 3.2 Gbytes/second. The processor system bus uses Advanced Gunning
Transceiver Logic (AGTL+)signal technology, a variant of GTL+ signalling technology with low
power enhancements.
The processor features Enhanced Intel SpeedStep technology, which enables real-time
dynamic switching between multiple voltage and frequency points instead of two points
supported on previous versions of Intel SpeedStep technology. This results in optimal
performance without compromising low power. The processor features the Auto Halt, StopGrant, Deep Sleep, and Deeper Sleep low power states.
The Intel Pentium M processor utilizes socketable Micro Flip-Chip Pin Grid Array (MicroFCPGA) and surface mount Micro Flip-Chip Ball Grid Array (Micro-FCBGA) package
technology. The Micro-FCPGA package plugs into a 479-hole, surface-mount, Zero Insertion
Force (ZIF) socket, which is referred to as the mPGA479M socket.
This document includes specifications for the Intel Pentium M processor at Highest
Frequency Mode (HFM) core frequencies of 1.30, 1.40, 1.50, and 1.60 GHz, the Low Voltage
Intel Pentium M processor at HFM core frequency of 1.10 GHz and the Ultra Low Voltage
Intel Pentium M processor at HFM core frequency of 900 MHz.

Intel ICH4 Features
The ICH4 provides extensive I/O support. Functions and capabilities include:
PCI Local Bus Specification, Revision 2.2-compliant with support for 33-MHz PCI
operations.
PCI slots (supports up to 6 Req/Gnt pairs)
ACPI Power Management Logic Support
Enhanced DMA Controller, Interrupt Controller, and Timer Functions
Integrated IDE controller supports Ultra ATA100/66/33
USB host interface with support for 6 USB ports; 3 UHCI host controllers; 1 EHCI highspeed USB 2.0 Host Controller
Integrated LAN Controller
System Management Bus (SMBus) Specification, Version 2.0 with additional support for
I2C devices
Supports Audio Codec 97, Revision 2.3 specification (a.k.a., AC 97 Component
1-83

Specification, Revision 2.3). Link for Audio and Telephony codecs (up to 7 channels)
Low Pin Count (LPC) interface
Firmware Hub (FWH) interface support
Alert On LAN* (AOL) and Alert On LAN 2* (AOL2)
Hub Architecture
As I/O speeds increase, the demand placed on the PCI bus by the I/O bridge has become
significant. With AC 97, USB 2.0, and Ultra ATA/100, coupled with the existing USB, I/O
requirements could impact PCI bus performance. The chipsets hub interface architecture
ensures that the I/O subsystem; both PCI and the integrated I/O features (IDE, AC 97, USB,
etc.), receive adequate bandwidth. By placing the I/O bridge on the hub interface (instead of
PCI), the hub architecture ensures that both the I/O functions integrated into the ICH4 and the
PCI peripherals obtain the bandwidth necessary for peak performance.
PCI Interface
The ICH4 PCI interface provides a 33-MHz, Rev. 2.2 compliant implementation. All PCI
signals are 5-V tolerant, except PME#. The ICH4 integrates a PCI arbiter that supports up to
six external PCI bus masters in addition to the internal ICH4 requests.
IDE Interface (Bus Master Capability and Synchronous DMA Mode)

The fast IDE interface supports up to four IDE devices providing an interface for IDE hard
disks and ATAPI devices. Each IDE device can have independent timings. The IDE interface
supports PIO IDE transfers up to 16 Mbytes/sec and Ultra ATA transfers up 100 Mbytes/sec.
It does not consume any ISA DMA resources. The IDE interface integrates 16x32-bit buffers
for optimal transfers.
The ICH4s IDE system contains two independent IDE signal channels. They can be
electrically isolated independently. They can be configured to the standard primary and
secondary channels (four devices). There are integrated series resistors on the data and
control lines (see Section 5.15, IDE Controller (D31:F1) on page 5-175 for details).
Low Pin Count (LPC) Interface

The ICH4 implements an LPC Interface as described in the LPC 1.0 specification. The Low
Pin Count (LPC) Bridge function of the ICH4 resides in PCI Device 31:Function 0. In addition
to the LPC bridge interface function, D31:F0 contains other functional units including DMA,
Interrupt Controllers, Timers, Power Management, System Management, GPIO, and RTC.
Note that in the current chipset platform, the Super I/O (SIO) component has migrated to the
Low Pin Count (LPC) interface. Migration to the LPC interface allows for lower cost Super I/O
designs.
Compatibility Modules (DMA Controller, Timer/Counters, Interrupt Controller)

The DMA controller incorporates the logic of two 82C37 DMA controllers, with seven
independently programmable channels. Channels 03 are hardwired to 8-bit, count-by-byte
1-84

transfers, and channels 57 are hardwired to 16-bit, count-by-word transfers. Any two of the
seven DMA channels can be programmed to support fast Type-F transfers.
The ICH4 supports two types of DMA (LPC and PC/PCI). DMA via LPC is similar to ISA DMA.
LPC DMA and PC/PCI DMA use the ICH4s DMA controller. The PC/PCI protocol allows PCIbased peripherals to initiate DMA cycles by encoding requests and grants via two PC/PCI
REQ#/GNT# pairs.
LPC DMA is handled through the use of the LDRQ# lines from peripherals and special
encodings on LAD[3:0] from the host. Single, Demand, Verify, and Increment modes are
supported on the LPC interface. Channels 03 are 8 bit channels. Channels 57 are 16 bit
channels. Channel 4 is reserved as a generic bus master request.
The timer/counter block contains three counters that are equivalent in function to those found
in one 82C54 programmable interval timer. These three counters are combined to provide the
system timer function, and speaker tone. The 14.31818-MHz oscillator input provides the
clock source for these three counters.
The ICH4 provides an ISA-Compatible Programmable Interrupt Controller (PIC) that
incorporates the functionality of two 82C59 interrupt controllers. The two interrupt controllers
are cascaded so that 14 external and two internal interrupts are possible. In addition, the
ICH4 supports a serial interrupt scheme.
All of the registers in these modules can be read and restored. This is required to save and
restore system state after power has been removed and restored to the platform.
Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller (APIC)

In addition to the standard ISA compatible Programmable Interrupt Controller (PIC) described
in the previous section, the ICH4 incorporates the Advanced Programmable Interrupt
Controller
Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controller

The ICH4 contains an Enhanced Host Controller Interface (EHCI) compliant host ontroller that
supports USB high-speed signaling. High-speed USB 2.0 allows data transfers up to 480
Mb/s which is 40 times faster than full-speed USB. The ICH4 also contains three Universal
Host Controller Interface (UHCI) controllers that support USB full-speed and low-speed
signaling.
The ICH4 supports 6 USB 2.0 ports. All six ports are high-speed, full-speed, and low-speed
capable. ICH4s port-routing logic determines whether a USB port is controlled by one of the
UHCI controllers or by the EHCI controller. See Section 5.16, USB UHCI Controllers (D29:F0,
F1 and F2) and Section 5.17, USB EHCI Controller (D29:F7) for details.
LAN Controller
The ICH4s integrated LAN Controller includes a 32-bit PCI controller that provides enhanced
scatter-gather bus mastering capabilities and enables the LAN Controller to perform high
speed data transfers over the PCI bus. Its bus master capabilities enable the component to
process high-level commands and perform multiple operations; this lowers processor
utilization by off-loading communication tasks from the processor. Two large transmit and
1-85

receive FIFOs of 3 kB each help prevent data underruns and overruns while waiting for bus
accesses. This enables the integrated LAN Controller to transmit data with minimum
interframe spacing (IFS).
The LAN Controller can operate in either full duplex or half duplex mode. In full duplex mode
the LAN Controller adheres with the IEEE 802.3x Flow Control specification. Half duplex
performance is enhanced by a proprietary collision reduction mechanism. See Section 5.2,
LAN Controller (B1:D8:F0) on page 5-78 for details.
RTC
The ICH4 contains a Motorola* MC146818A-compatible real-time clock with 256 bytes of
battery-backed RAM. The real-time clock performs two key functions: keeping track of the
time of day and storing system data, even when the system is powered down. The RTC
operates on a 32.768 KHz crystal and a separate 3-V lithium battery that provides up to seven
years of protection.
The RTC also supports two lockable memory ranges. By setting bits in the configuration
space, two 8-byte ranges can be locked to read and write accesses. This prevents
unauthorized reading of passwords or other system security information.
The RTC also supports a date alarm that allows for scheduling a wake up event up to 30 days
in advance, rather than just 24 hours in advance.
4.6
Clock Frequency Generator
The notebook utilizes the IMI CY28346 chip to supply the system clock needed to run the
computer. The following are the available clock frequencies:
System clock:
Clock generator IMI CY28346 support:
- 66/100 MHz for Pentium III Mobile CPU
- 30/33 MHz for PCI device bus clock use
- 48 MHz for PIIX4M
- 14.318 MHz for PIIX4M refresh use
14.318 MHz XTAL for Clock Generator use
32.768 KHz XTAL for RTC real time clock
8.0 MHz XTAL for K/B controller use
14.318 MHz OSC for sound blaster use
4.7
Cache Memory
The primary (L1) and secondary (L2) level cache are integrated on the CPU. By incorporating
the cache on-die (meaning it is combined with the CPU into one component), Intel eliminates
the need for separate components. The 512KB on-die L2 cache provides three (3X) times
faster processor access, resulting in significant improvements in performance. Likewise, an
integrated cache means a reduction of connections resulting in increased reliability.
4.8
System Memory
The memory subsystem, implemented on the motherboard, includes System and Video
memory. The Intel 855GM System Controller chip provides primary control for the system
memory.
1-86

4.8.1
System Memory
The notebook offers two 64-bit SODIMM (Small Outline Dual Inline Memory Module) sockets
for main memory configuration. The memory sockets accept any standard 144-pin SODIMM
modules at 128MB, 256MB,512MB and 1GMB sizes. Memory modules are DDR 200/266
SDRAM type.
4.8.2
Video Memory
The video memory of the notebook is using share system memory with 8/16/32MB UMA
video memory that can support display resolutions of up to 1024 x 768 at 32-bit 16M color
(TFT LCD).
4.9
System BIOS
The notebook utilizes the Phoenix BIOS 4.0 Release 6.0 (Basic I/O System) that contains
both the main system BIOS and the VGA BIOS with Shadow BIOS capability. It utilizes Flash
EPROM BIOS that allows instant erasing and programming without replacing the EPROM
chip.
The BIOS is stored in a 32-pin PLCC package FLASH ROM SST 49LF040A with 4Mbit size
and is mounted into the motherboard. While posting the system, the Shadow RAM will be
enabled and the ROM will be disabled.
4.10
Video Subsystem

4.11
PCMCIA Controller
The PCMCIA controller of the notebook is implemented on the motherboard using the RICOH
R5C554 CardBus Controller. The MB05 notebook only supports single PCMCIA slot for PCICardbus Bridge.
CARDBUS CONTROLLERS
The R5C554 is an ACPI and PC98/99 logo certified high performance, single slot PC Card
controller with a synchronous 32-bit bus master/target PCI interface. This PC Card to PCI
bridge host controller is compliant with the 2000 PC Card Standard. This standard
incorporates the new 32-bit CardBus while retaining the 16-bit PC Card specification as
defined by PCMCIA release 2.1. CardBus is intended to support "temporal" add-in functions
on PC Cards, such as Memory cards, Network interfaces, FAX/Modems and other wireless
1-89

communication cards, etc. The high performance and capability of the CardBus interface will
enable the new development of many new functions and applications.
The R5C554 CardBus controller is compliant with the latest ACPI-PCI Bus Power
Management interface Specification. It supports all four power states and the PME# function
for maximum power savings and ACPI compliance. Additional compliance to On Now Power
Management includes D3 cold state support, paving the way for low sleep state power
consumption and minimized resume times. To allow host software to reduce power
consumption further, the R5C554 provides a power-down mode in which internal clock
distribution and the PC Card socket clocks are stopped. An advanced CMOS process is also
used to minimize system power consumption.
The R5C554 single PCMCIA socket supports the 3.3V/5V 8/16-bit PC Card R2 cards or 32-bit
CardBus R3 cards. The R2 card support is compatible with the Intel 82365SL PCIC controller,
and the R3 card support is fully compliant with the 2000 PC Card Standard CardBus
specification. The R5C554 is an additional buffer chip for the PC Card socket interface. In
addition, the R5C554 supports dynamic PC Card hot insertion and removal, with auto
configuration capabilities.
The R5C554 is fully complains with the 33Mhz PCI Bus specification, v2.2. It supports a
master device with internal CardBus direct data transfer. The R5C554 implements FIFO data
buffer architecture between the PCI bus and CardBus socket interface to enhance data
transfers to CardBus Devices. The bi-directional FIFO buffer permits the R5C554 to accept
data from a target bus (PCI or CardBus interface) while simultaneously transferring data. This
architecture not only speeds up data transfers but also prevents system deadlocks.
The R5C554 is a PCMCIA R2/CardBus controller, providing the most advanced design
flexibility for PC Cards that interface with advanced notebook designs.

synchronous and asynchronous formats. SmartCardBus lowers the cost of ownership of ecommerce and corporate security Smart Card applications.
4.12
Audio Subsystem
The audio subsystem is integrated inside the South Bridge chip on the motherboard. Refer to
the System Core Logic section of this chapter.
An internal two-way mini speaker and microphone provide the notebook with mobile sound
generation and recording capabilities. In addition, a set of 3.5mm bayonet socket (1/8
minijack) connectors allow for external microphone, line inputs, and headphone outputs.
4.13
Keyboard and Pointing Device
The Keyboard Subsystem of the notebook is implemented on the Motherboard and Keyboard
Assembly using the Mitsubishi M38859 keyboard controller chip and the Mitsubishi M38859
keyboard controller firmware. This chip controls the internal built-in keyboard, the built-in
touchpad pointing device, as well as the external PS/2 keyboard and mouse port. The
keyboard controller allows simultaneous use of both the internal and external keyboard and
PS/2 mouse.
The MB05 membrane keyboard is an 86-key IBM 101-key enhanced compatible keyboard
with standard characters and 12 function keys including an embedded numeric keypad. See
Chapter 1 for more information.
The pointing device subsystem consists of the built-in Synaptics touch pad pointing device
module on the system top cover assembly and a pre-programmed Mitsubishi M38859 microcontroller that interfaces the mouse device to the Motherboard. The touch pad module is
connected to battery board through a 6-pin FPC cable. An external PS/2 port also supports
the use of an external PS/2 compatible mouse where the system automatically detects on
system power up and runs both internal and external mouse simultaneously.
1-91
The Synaptic touch pad, a pointing device for personal computers, detects the position of a
finger over a touch-sensitive area. To move the cursor, the user lightly slides a finger over the
smooth sensor area. To click, the user gently taps on the surface.
The ultra-thin module is the thinnest PCB based touchpad available today. It is a capacitive
sensor - the finger is detected by measuring its effect on an array of capacitive lines
integrated into the PC board. The pad senses both the fingers position and its contact area
(X, Y, and Z). The area of contact is a measure of applied pressure. One side of the module
PC board is the sensor surface; electronic components are mounted on the other side. The
sensitive area is protected by a layer of smooth and durable mylar.
The Synaptic touch pad communicates with the host via a standard PS/2 mouse or trackball
interface. It is fully compatible with the standard Microsoft mouse driver. The module
connector includes the PS/2 signal pins, power supply pins and two connections for external
button switches.
The Synaptic touch pad includes a special edge-motion feature that allows the user to
extend a drag operation when the finger reaches the edge of the sensor pad. The cursor
continues to coast in the indicated direction when the finger is held against the edge.
4.14
IDE Drives Subsystem
The disk drives subsystem, implemented on the Motherboard and on the associated internal
hard disk drive assembly and device bay, provides disk storage for all system sof tware and
user files.
The notebook is equipped with high capacity hard disk drive using Enhanced IDE controller
with LBA (Logical Block Addressing) and Ultra DMA mode support.
The ICH4 controller chip provides the Primary IDE controller for the internal hard disk, and the
Secondary Master for the CD-ROM.
The notebook uses the 24X-speed IDE CD-ROM Drive and 8X-speed DVD-ROM. The CDROM drive supports CD-DA transfer over ATAPI function that the host system can read CD
audio data. The drive also supports Photo-CD Multi-session disc compatibility and Multimedia
PC-3 specification compatibility. The notebook also could use the 8X+ speed IDE DVD-ROM
Drive that reads DVD digital data stored on DVD-ROM at 8 times faster rotational speed.
4.15
Power Subsystem
The Power Subsystem consists of the following major sections:
4.15.1
AC Power Adapter
The computer is equipped with a 60W Peak 80W universal AC power adapter that converts
AC voltage (100 to 240VAC, 50 to 60Hz) into DC voltage used to operate the notebook and
charge the batteries.
4.15.2
Internal Battery Pack
The computer utilizes Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) that provides DC power for the notebook and real
time clock battery on the motherboard when the AC Adapter is not connected to the computer.
1-92

The normal charging time for the battery is around 3.5 hours when computer is turn off while it
should take around 8 hours when the computer is running. Running time of battery is around
4.5 hours.

Introduction
This section contains preventive and corrective maintenance procedures for the MB05
notebook. The first part of the section describes the computer cleaning procedures and
preferred handling procedures for sensitive components (e.g. disk drives, LCD, CPU,
batteries).
The second part of the chapter identifies all field replaceable parts with the remainder
explaining the removal and replacement procedures for the field replaceable parts.
5.2
Preventive Maintenance
Preventive maintenance is limited to cleaning the plastic case, the keyboard, and the display
screen and cleaning the floppy drive heads as required.
5.2.1
Cleaning the Computer
When it is necessary to clean the plastic case and keyboard, use a soft lint-free cloth, slightly
dampened with a mild detergent solution, or use the contents of any commercially available
computer cleaning kit.
5.2.2
Never use alcohol, petroleum-based solvents, or harsh detergents to clean the

notebook. Also, do not spray any liquids directly on the computer case,
keyboard, or screen. If the liquid-crystal display (LCD) screen has become
smeared or dusty, clean the screen by first applying a mild glass cleaner to a
soft, clean, lint-free cloth, and gently wipe the glass. Never apply liquids directly
on the screen surface. Moreover, do not use paper towels to clean the display
screen. Paper can scratch the display screen matte.
Maintaining the LCD Quality
When it comes to screen problems, heat plays a big part. After a good working session, the
typical routine is to shut the machine and close the cover. But the display surface - no matter
what type it is - and the components inside the computer radiates heat; when you close the
cover, you trap the heat against the screen. Leave the computer's cover open for about ten
minutes while the heat disperses. Make this a habit.

5.2.3
Maintaining the Hard Disk Drive
The hard disk drive is one of the most common parts that always gets problem. Here is some
preventive maintenance that you can do when handling the hard disk.
Always back up the data files from the hard disk.
Run a virus detecting program for possible virus infected area on the hard disk.
Use SCANDISK to correct any errors found in the directory and File Allocation Table
(FAT). This will also free up space from any unused sectors.
Never turn the computer off when the hard disk is being accessed.
Never move or raise the computer while the hard disk is being accessed, most especially
don't jar the hard disk as this may cause a hard disk crash.
Use hard disk system tools like Disk Defragmenter under Windows. This reorganizes
your hard disk by eliminating fragmentation and improves the hard disk access time.
5.2.4
Handling the Computer Battery Packs
The battery packs furnished with the computer require reasonable care and handling to
ensure efficient operation and maximum life. Periodically inspect the battery terminals and the
batteries for evidence of corrosion and oxide build-up.
To ensure that the battery packs endure normal life cycle, always observe the following
precautions when handling the battery packs:
Do not drop the battery packs or subject them to excessive shock and vibration.
Do not expose the battery packs to direct sunlight, moisture, or chemical compounds.
Do not disassemble the battery packs.
Do not use the battery packs to power other devices.
Do not short the battery leads or connect the battery with reversed polarity.
Never attempt to charge the battery packs in any way other than as described in this
manual and the Users Manual.
Always charge the battery packs as soon as possible after a low battery indication.
