These System Programs are stored in a three million byte protected partition on the hard drive. The Initial Machine Load (IML) loads the BIOS program from the hard drive into system memory. BIOS provides the hardware instructions and interfaces designed to support the standard features of the system and to maintain compatibility with many software programs currently operating under DOS and OS/2 on the Personal Computer XT(TM), Personal Computer AT(R) and the Personal System/2(R) family. Due to the high level of integration and planar memory capacity, features such the PS/2 Micro Channel memory adapter options are not supported. Medialess Systems (56 LS): The system contains licensed System Programs, which include SurePath BIOS, set configuration and features, test, copy an option diskette, backup/restore and update system program. These licensed System Programs are provided on the 56 LS Reference Diskette shipped with the 56 LS 486SLC2 LAN Administrators Package and are stored on the host. The LAN Administrator Package loads the BIOS program from the host into system memory. BIOS provides the hardware instructions and interfaces designed to support the standard features of the system and to maintain compatibility with many software programs currently operating under DOS and OS/2 on the Personal Computer XT, Personal Computer AT and the Personal System/2 family. Due to the high level of integration and planar memory capacity, features such as the PS/2 Micro Channel memory adapter options are not supported. Limitations: Systems with Hard Drives (56, 57 and M57): The total number of adapters is limited by the average of 1.6 amps per slot. The systems support only 2MB, 4MB and 8MB 70 nanosecond SIMMs. With 24-bit addressing, the maximum addressable memory space is 16MB. The system reserves 128KB of memory when BIOS/POST is copied to RAM for execution in systems with less than 16MB of planar memory. The customer will have 15.914MB (15936KB) available when 16MB of memory is installed. Refer to the Programming Requirements section for operating systems limitations. The licensed System Programs include SurePath BIOS, set configuration and features, copy an option diskette, test, backup/restore, and update system program. These licensed System Programs are stored in three million bytes of protected partition on the hard drive. The formatted capacity is therefore reduced by three million bytes and the total user-accessible capacity may vary slightly based on operating environments. This partition is not affected when the drive is formatted using the FORMAT command provided in DOS or OS/2. High performance BIOS uses 128KB of system memory. Display adapter cards that use the Auxiliary Video Extension, when installed in a system, require installation in slot 2 and attachment of a display to the system video connector during configuration of the system. The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) SCSI specification for the total SCSI cable length connected to a SCSI interface is six meters (approximately 19.7 ft.) maximum. The length of the SCSI cable inside the system is one meter. Therefore, the total length of all SCSI cables for external devices that operate from the external SCSI connector may not exceed a maximum of five meters (approximately 16.5 ft.) including the cables inside each SCSI device. Medialess Systems (56 LS): The total number of adapters is limited by the average of 1.6 amps per slot. The systems support only 2MB, 4MB and 8MB 70 nanosecond SIMMs. With 24-bit addressing, the maximum addressable memory space is 16MB. The system reserves 128KB of memory when BIOS/POST is copied to RAM for execution in systems with less than 16MB of planar memory. The customer will have 15.914MB (15936KB) available when 16MB of memory is installed. Refer to the Programming Requirements section for operating systems limitations. The licensed System Programs include SurePath BIOS, set configuration and features, copy an option diskette, test, backup/restore, and update system program. The licensed System Programs are provided on the 56 LS 486SLC3 Reference Diskette shipped with the 56 LS 486SLC3 LAN Administrators Package. High-performance BIOS uses 128KB of system memory. Display adapter cards that use the Auxiliary Video Extension, when installed in a system, require installation in slot 2 and attachment of a display to the system video connector during configuration of the system.
