Standard memory on Model 68 is 256Kb and on Model 99 is 512Kb. In addition, Model 99 is equipped with a 20Mb fixed disk drive and a serial (asynchronous)/parallel (printer) adapter. Each system can be further expanded through customer setup options. Model 68 memory may be expanded to 512Kb by addition of pluggable memory modules on the system board. Both models may be further expanded to 640Kb with the 128Kb memory option or up to 3Mb with 512Kb memory 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 attached to 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 5170 system. 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, new diskette media is required. The media is available from the IBM Systems Supplies catalog with the following description: IBM 5.25 Diskette 2HC, double-sided, high capacity, 96 tracks per inch, soft sectored, P/N 6109660. To order diskettes, contact IBM Direct, toll-free via 1-800-IBM-2468. The IBM Personal Computer AT is also supported by two other operating systems. Personal Computer Interactive Executive (PC/IX) Version 1.1 will support the IBM Personal Computer AT in compatibility, real address mode. PC/IX will be available in the fourth quarter of 1984. The IBM Personal Computer XENIX* will support the IBM Personal Computer AT in the 80286 protected address mode. IBM Personal Computer XENIX will be available in the first quarter of 1985. * XENIX is a trademark of Microsoft Corporation. The 5170 contains eight option (feature) slots that support feature cards for additional 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, both models use one 16-bit slot for the standard combination fixed disk and diskette drive adapter. The Model 99 uses one 8-bit slot for the Serial/Parallel Adapter. The result is seven available expansion slots on Model 68 and six on Model 99. Both models include a world-wide power supply and a temperature-controlled variable speed cooling fan that significantly reduces acoustical noise in most user environments. Both models also include a security keylock, which, when locked by the user, prevents removal of the 5170 cover, initialization of the system, and entry of command/data from the keyboard. The keyboard is attached to the 5170 via a ten-foot coiled cable, permitting a variety of workspace configurations. The enhanced 84-key keyboard, with an adjustable typing angle, offers commonly used data and word processing functions along with separate typewriter and numeric keypads. Key-location enhancements 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. Exploring the IBM Personal Computer AT, a program on a diskette, is supplied with the 5170. It will familiarize a new computer user with the 5170. The program takes 1-1/2 to 2-1/2 hours to complete. There are two versions of the program, monochrome and color. The program is self-loading from the diskette. It contains tutorial information on the keyboard, printer, and disk storage, as well as DOS and text editing.

PLANNING INFORMATION CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITY: The customer is responsible for unpacking and installing system components and options per the installation instructions provided. INSTALLABILITY: The keyboard is plugged directly into the system unit. The display and printer are connected via option adapters installed in the system expansion slots. Once turned on, the system unit automatically runs a power-on self test to verify system readiness. The system unit keylock must be unlocked to complete this self test. If a failure is found, an instruction will appear on the screen. If the test is successfully completed, the system attempts to load an operating system (such as DOS) from the first diskette drive. If that drive does not supply the program, the system tries the first fixed disk. If this operation is not completed, the BASIC Interpreter is made ready, identified on the screen, and the system is available for use.
