These conditions can be summarized as follows: o Extended temperature operation o Extended vibration and shock operation o Extended voltage transients operation o Extended airborne contaminants operation The IBM Industrial Computer System Unit is designed for control of multiple devices or instruments, and manufacturing oriented information-handling applications. It is intended for installation on industrial plant-floor environments, where a system more resistant to harsh physical and atmospheric conditions is required. The 7531 is designed for floor-standing operation. The system unit base is provided with four holes to facilitate optional bolting to the floor or other stable platform. Bolting should be considered only in those situations where placement of the 7531 may affect the stability of the system unit. However, the 7531 is not required to be bolted for proper operation of the system. The System Unit is available in two modes: o A diskette equipped Base Model o Two Fixed Disk Drive Models The System Unit is based on a high performance 16/24-bit Intel 80286 Microprocessor, and is equipped with a high capacity (1.2Mb) diskette drive, keyboard, ROM based BASIC language, clock/calendar with battery backup, diskette area cover door with security keylock, and a system reset button. Standard memory is 512Kb. The system may be further expanded to 640Kb with the 128Kb memory option or up to 3Mb with 512Kb memory options. The system can be further expanded through additional customer setup options. Additional direct access storage is available with a 20Mb Fixed Disk Drive, a second 1.2Mb High Capacity Diskette Drive, and a Dual-sided (320/360Kb) Diskette Drive. A maximum of two diskette drives and one fixed disk drive, or one diskette drive and two fixed disk drives can be installed in the system unit. These combinations result in direct access storage capacity of up to 41.2Mb. DOS 3.0 supports the 20Mb Fixed Disk Drive and 1.2Mb High Capacity Diskette Drive in the System Unit. With DOS 3.0, the 1.2Mb diskette drive will also read single - and dual-sided diskettes formatted at 160/180Kb and 320/360Kb capacity, respectively. The Dual-sided Diskette Drive (320/360Kb) option is available for downward diskette portability with other IBM Personal Computer family members. To fully utilize the 1.2Mb High Capacity Diskette Drive, a new diskette is required. Specifications are as follows: - IBM 5.25 Diskette 2HC, double-sided, high capacity, 96 tracks per inch, soft sectored (6109660). The System Unit contains eight option (feature) slots which support feature cards for devices, features, or memory. Six of the slots support either the advanced 16-bit or 8-bit option cards. Two support 8-bit option cards only. However, the System Unit uses one 16-bit slot for the standard combination fixed disk and diskette drive adapter. The result is seven available expansion slots. A retainer bar is provided to secure the feature cards in place. The IBM Industrial Computer System Unit includes a cooling fan for the world-wide power supply and a cooling fan with removable filter for the system unit features. The System Unit also includes a diskette area cover door with security keylock which, when locked by the user, prevents initialization of the system, and entry of commands/data from the keyboard. The keyboard is attached to the System Unit via a 3.05 meter (10 feet) coiled cable, permitting a variety of workspace configurations. The keyboard offers commonly used data- and word-processing functions along separate typewriter and numeric keypads. Key-locations placement and mode indicators (Cap Lock, Numeric Lock, Scroll Lock) improve keyboard usability. Special symbols may be accessed with a combination of keys. Depending on the application program, from 10 to 40 special function keys may be supported. Major national language keyboards available at First Customer Ship will be as follow: o US English #2750 (6219813) @ @ o UK English #2927 (58X7434) @ @ o French #2928 (58X7435) @ @ o German #2929 (58X7436) @ @ o Italian #2932 (58X7437) @ @ o Spanish #2931 (58X7438) @ Additional national language keyboards will be available post-FCS on a schedule to be determined. The keyboard is shipped as a separate package and must be @ ordered separately. The unattached, coiled cable is shipped in @ the carton with the keyboard. For replacement purposes, the cable may ordered as P/N 6447051. A keyboard utility diskette is shipped with the keyboard to @ supply support for the National Language versions initialization. @ FEATURES DESCRIPTION 20MB FIXED DISK DRIVE (CUSTOMER SETUP) (#6019) (6523432) NOTE Ordered either by P/N or Feature Code depending upon which ordering system is being used. Two optional fixed disk drives may be installed on the System Unit, providing a total of 40Mb of fixed disk storage capacity. Space and power are provided in the system unit for this drive(s). All fixed disk or diskette drives use the standard combination fixed disk and diskette drive adapter in the system unit. A dedicated landing zone for the read/write heads is available to protect the file and its contents during shipping, movement, or storage. The number of fixed disk drives and diskette drives must not exceed three. No more than two fixed disk drives can be installed in a system unit. Characteristics: o 20Mb of storage o 512 bytes per sector o 17 sectors per track o 75 ms average access time o 3600 RPM o 5M bit per second transfer rate o Dimensions: - Height 82.55 mm (3.25 inches) - Width 146.05 mm (5.75 inches) - Depth 203.20 mm (8.00 inches) - Weight 2.3 Kg (5.1 lbs.) COMBINATION ADAPTER II (#6020) (6523466) @ Provides the System Unit with four main functions: an asynchronous communications interface, a parallel printer interface, a programmable timer, and a thermal sensor interface. The adapter requires one 16-bit expansion slot. The asynchronous communications interface is fully programmable and supports asynchronous communications only. All of the specifications of this interface match those of the Serial/Parallel Adapter (#0215) (6450215). In addition, the serial interface may be configured to support an RS422 interface. The cable interface to the asynchronous communications port is via a 9-pin connector at the rear of the system unit. The Combination Adapter Cable (#6001) (6523468) is required to @ convert the 9-pin Asynchronous Communications port of the Combination Adapter II to a 25-pin "D" shell, male type connector for attachment to an external modem or other asynchronous devices. The cable is double shielded and approximately 3m (10 feet) long. A wrap connector is provided for testing the cable. The programmable timer has a counter resolution of 4 thousandth of a second. The thermal sensor interface is connected to a thermal sensor inside the system unit and allows the system processor to sense when the system unit is above its specified temperature range. A bit in the sensor port is set by the thermal sensor to indicate to the system software (DOS) that the system unit is over its specified temperature range. 128KB MEMORY BOARD FOR THE COMBINATION ADAPTER II (#6040) @ (6523467) @ This feature plugs into the Combination Adapter II (#6020) @ (6523466) and expands the memory from 512Kb to 640Kb without @ requiring an expansion slot. Performance characteristics are the same as for other System Unit user memory. Only one 128Kb Memory Board may be installed on a Combination Adapter II. Limitation: Cannot be installed with 128Kb Memory Expansion (#0209) (6450209). COMBINATION ADAPTER CABLE (#6001) (6523468) @ Required to attach to a modem or other asynchronous device.
