Built-in Features ADF

J8 Wire Colors
Pin1 on left, pin 10 on right (silkscreened on board)
Blue (9), Orange (10), Red (11), R (12), R (5), Black (8), Bk (1), Bk (2), Bk (3), White (4)
Numbers in parentheses are the corresponding power supply connector

Indicator Port (J17) Pinout
   This is the Indicator port- three LEDs are driven off this header, Power, HD, and Floppy. Note that the header on the system board and the display card (PN 65X1569) are keyed, so the pins match from 1 to 1, 2 to 2, and so forth.

Pin   LED
1-2   Power LED
3-4   HD LED
5-6   FDD

Slot Numbers and Widths
   The two upper slots are 32 bit. The slot next to the rear cover has the AVE (dow! case is shut!) connector. The bottom two slots are 16 bit, and they are short. FWIW, Slot 1 is the internal SCSI controller.
Slot 4      Slot 2 (Long)
32-bit AVE  32-bit
Slot 3      Slot 5 (Short)
16-bit      16-bit

SCSI BIOS PN 79F3214 (even) / PN 79F3213 (odd). SCSI microcode PN 79F3212
It uses three 8 pin SIPP term packs.

Up to six SCSI devices can be attched to the SCSI controller.

DMA Controller
  90X8134ESD, just like on the K and 0 complexes and the 50Z planar.
J17 six pin header for floppy drive, power, and hard drive LEDs
J20 MC-2 14 pin header that connects to riser card.

Load SIMM sockets from top to bottom, largest SIMMs (memory size) first, smaller simms last. The notch in the SIMM goes to the left (towards the outside of the case)

NOTE: If (4) 4MB SIMMs have been installed, it may take up to 10 minutes for the IBM screen to come up when reconfiguring with system programs. Or just using the system. Damn, it counts slow...

The floppy in my P75 is a ALPS DFP723D15C, 12v .47A, 5v .16A

Floppy Controller
  It's a 82077AA. Probably supports 2.88MB floppy drives (yea! got to love the dust shutter), but NOT the " * " marked 2.88MB floppy drives.

2.88MB Capable BIOS?
This is from the HMM- note the reference to a "4MB Media Sensor"....

Floppy Drive Removal
  I finally got Dr. Jim to speak in a way you can all understand (Cult of Personality).

From Dr. Jim (I'm an engineer, not a doctor)
   OK, this is not rocket science, especially if you have an H1 floppy. 

Reach in behind the display panel with your left hand. Slide your index finger in behind the floppy housing on the left side  about 3/4 of the way up.  Then slide your finger downward along the edge of the housing until it stops on the catch.  At this point, hook your finger behind the left side of the housing and pull the side of the housing to the left, maybe 1/4" or so.  Once the little post on the floppy cover clears the catch, the floppy will flop forward. 
 
 
 

Continue to rotate it until it is level, then pull it straight out.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Removing Floppy from Drive Carrier, H1 Model
   Warning! There is a aluminum ground shield across the bottom of the floppy drive. It is attached with four screws through the bottom mounting holes (which are not used by the plastic "rails"). It is coated on one side with a plastic non-conductive coating. To properly attatch this shield, the grounding strap "tab" MUST be on the same side as the motor! A simple test- use an ohmeter on the shield, one side conducts, the other, not.

Brightness Program 
 To install Brightness program, run Brtinst.com from the refdisk. This installs brt.com.

To have emphasized text brighter than standard text, type "BRT" and press Enter. 
To have standard text brighter than emphasized text, type "BRT /H" and press Enter. 

Serial Port
   The built-in serial port connector can be assigned as Serial 1 through Serial 8, or disabled.

   <SERIAL_1  03f8-03ff int 4>, SERIAL_2 02f8-02ff int 3, SERIAL_3 3220-3227 int 3, SERIAL_4 3228-322f int 3, SERIAL_5 4220-4227 int 3, SERIAL_6 4228-422f int 3, SERIAL_7 5220-5227 int 3, SERIAL_85228 -522f  int 3, Disabled

Parallel Port
      The built-in parallel port connector can be assigned as Parallel 1 through Parallel 4 or disabled.
     <PARALLEL_1 03bc-03bf 1278-127f int 7>, PARALLEL_2 0378-037f int 7, PARALLEL_3 0278-027f int 7, PARALLEL_4 1378-137f int 7, Disabled

Parallel Port Arbitration Level
   The built-in parallel port connector can be assigned any one of the available arbitration levels 0 through 7. Select <Disabled> to use the parallel port in compatibility mode. 
   <Level 6>, 5, 4, 3, 1, 0, Disabled, Level 7

Preempt Enable/Disable
   Allows the system board processor to preempt continuous data transfers by other devices for its use of the Micro Channel.
     <Enable>, Disable

Video I/O Address
   This selects a particular I/O address range for the Display Controller Registers. This field also affects the exact location of the video coprocessor registers.
      <Instance 6: 2160h - 216Fh>, Instance 1: 2110h - 211Fh, Instance 2: 2120h - 212Fh, Instance 3: 2130h - 213Fh, Instance 4: 2140h - 214Fh, Instance 5: 2150h - 215Fh

Video ROM Address Space
    This defines the memory address range used for the system video ROM.
      <C0000 - C1FFF>, C2000 - C3FFF, C4000 - C5FFF, C6000 - C7FFF, C8000 - C9FFF, CA000 - CBFFF, CC000 - CDFFF, CE000 - CFFFF, D0000 - D1FFF, D2000 - D3FFF, D4000 - D5FFF, D6000 - D7FFF, D8000 - D9FFF, DA000 - DBFFF, DC000 - DDFFF, DE000 - DFFFF

Video Arbitration Level
       The video sub-system can be assigned any one of the available arbitration levels 8 through 14.
     <Arbitration level 13>, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 14

Video Fairness
        Video Fairness indicates whether or not the video sub-system coprocessor will follow the fairness algorithm for bus usage.
     <Fairness On>, Fairness Off

Auto-Dim Time
        Auto-Dim function automatically turns the plasma display off after a specified period if no input from the keyboard or auxiliary device is received. Auto-Dim Time can be assigned from 1 to 120 minutes.
     <10 Minutes>, 20 Minutes, 30 Minutes, 60 Minutes, 120 Minutes, 1 Minute,5 Minutes 

Auto-Dim Reset
   There are two ways to turn on the display again:
           1. Pressing SHIFT
           2. Clicking the mouse.
        If the mouse picks up vibration on a desk which turns on the display again, change Auto-Dim Reset from <Keyboard and Aux. Device> to <Keyboard Only>. 
        <Keyboard and Aux. Device>,Keyboard Only

Color to Gray Mapping
     There are some applications that are developed for color displays but can be used on monochrome displays. When using such applications, reset Color-to-Gray Mapping to <Green Signal Only>. Setting <RGB Mixed Signals> may result in an unpredictable display image.
  <RGB Mixed Signals>, Green Signal Only

Turned-on Display
      Primary turns on only one display that is considered by the   system to be the primary display.  When no external PS/2 display is connected to the system unit, the plasma display is considered as the primary display. Only VGA mode is supported.  When the external PS/2 display is connected, it is considered as the primary display. VGA or XGA mode is supported for the external PS/2 display.
         Plasma and External turns on both the plasma display and the external PS/2 display. Only VGA mode is supported. 
   <Primary>,  Plasma and External
