Built-In Interfaces System Board Interfaces The system board's built-in interfaces have ports on the connector panel. PS/2 Keyboard and Mouse Interfaces There are two PS/2 style serial ports: one PS/2 keyboard port and one PS/2 mouse port. HP Parallel Interface The parallel port is compatible with PS/2 standards, plus some additional features found in HP Series 700 workstations. The basic PS/2 supports a bi-directional register model interface in addition to printer only DMA. There is support for both of these features in addition to providing the additional printer DMA handshakes found on Series 700 workstations. The register model interface will be able to support the new "Bitronics" printer interface. The Series 700 Scanjet interface will not be supported. RS-232 Serial Interface. There will be one PS/2 type serial interface. This standard interface is based on a 9-pin D-sub connector and supports CTS/RTS hardware handshaking. This port is based on the National 16550 serial interface chip. Small Computer Systems Interface (SCSI-2) The built-in SCSI-2 port is implemented using an NCR710 macrocell inside the I/O ASIC chip. This 8-bit single ended implementation is compatible with the current 700 series products and supports 5 MB/sec data transfer rates. The SCSI bus is terminated to 3.3 volts through 127kΩ on the CPU board. The terminator must be removed from the internal disk drive. If an external disc drive is used an active terminator must be used on the drive at the end of the cable. Local Area Network Interface. The IEEE 802.3 Ethernet Local Area Network (LAN) circuit provides both the AUI interface for conventional coaxial Ethernet and a direct interface to a twisted pair (TP) 10BASE-T network. Only one interface can be used at a time, the system auto-selects the correct port that is being used. Ethernet is a 10 Mbit/s packet-switched serial interface employing Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Detection (CSMA/CD). Table 1-3 lists the supported LAN adapters and other network devices.
