NetXpress™ XL1000/2000 Administrator’s GuideThe following list of terms is intended to help you better understand your NetXpress XL Series thin client and its capabilities.CPU Central Processing Unit; The CPU is the brain of the computer. Sometimes referred to simply as the processor or central processor, the CPU is where most calculations take place.Ethernet The most widely-installed local area network technology; Fast Ethernet or 10/100 base-T provides transmission speeds up to 100 Mbps.LED Light Emitting Diode; pronounced by naming the three letters in succession, not as an acronym, is a semiconductor device that emits visible light when an electric current passes through it. Your NetXpress XL unit incorporates four LED's in the front panel—Power LED, Hard Drive Activity LED, LAN Connection Status LED and LAN Activity LED. For further explanation of each LED, refer to “Case Design” on page 9.Pixel A word invented from the terms “picture” and “element”; the basic unit of programmable color on a computer display or in a computer image.PS/2 Keyboard port 6-pin (Mini-Din) port dedicated to connection of the computer's keyboard. Utilizing this port allows your serial port(s) to be used by another device.PS/2 Mouse port 6-pin (Mini-Din) port dedicated to connection of the computer's mouse pointing device. Utilizing this port allows your serial port(s) to be used by another device.RS-232CCOM Port RS-232C (the “C” stands for current version) is the interface your computer uses to talk to and exchange data with your modem and other serial devices. Your NetXpress XL RS-232C COM Port is 16550 UART compatable.UART A UART is the microchip with programming that controls a computer's interface to its attached serial devices. Specifically, it provides the computer with the RS-232C Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) interface so that it can "talk" to and exchange data with modems and other serial devices.USB Universal Serial Bus; a "plug-and-play" (PnP) interface between a computer and add-on devices (such as audio players, joysticks, keyboards, telephones, scanners, and printers). SVGA Most PC displays sold today incorporate the super video graphics array (SVGA) standard. This system can support a palette of up to 16,000,000 colors, although the amount of video memory in a particular computer might limit the actual number of displayed colors to something less than that.Parallel Port A connection port capable of transferring more than one bit simultaneously used for connecting an external device such as a printer. Most computers come equipped with at least one parallel port located on the back panel of the computer case. EPP/ECC EPP/ECP (Enhanced Parallel Port/Enhanced Capability Port) is a standard signaling method for bi-directional parallel communication between a computer and peripheral devices that offers the potential for much higher rates of data transfer than the original parallel signaling methods. EPP is for non-printer peripherals. ECP is for printers and scanners. EPP/ECP are part of IEEE Standard 1284, which also specifies support for current signaling methods (including Centronics, the de facto standard for printer communication) so that both old and new peripherals can be accommodated.

ACPI defines a flexible and extensible interface that allows system designers to select appropriate cost/feature trade-offs for power management. The interface enables new power management technology to evolve independently in operating systems and hardware while ensuring that they continue to work together. For more information on ACPI, please refer to these two Internet sites:• http://www.teleport.com/~acpi/ • http://www.microsoft.com/hwdev/desinit/acpifaq2.htmWHY IS ACPI IMPORTANT? Changing from Advanced Power Management (APM) and Plug and Play (PnP) to ACPI offers many benefits including the following: • A cooperative "Plug and Play" environment for devices and power management for desktops, notebooks, and servers • An open Operating System Architecture that allows the development of ACPI for non-Microsoft operating systems. This O/S also lets ACPI-compliant operating systems running on non-standard hardware use the ACPI interface. • New opportunities for product differentiation • Developer-defined control methods using the ACPI language • ACPI support is required for NT 5.0, Windows/PC 97& 98, Server 97& 98, and OnNow Certification. Older versions of NT do not have any power management support. ACPI-compliant systems running NT can take full advantage of power savings through ACPI power management. Phoenix has an ACPI compliant BIOS, which the NT 5.0 and Win 98 development teams at Microsoft have been using for several months. The ACPI hardware interface provides two types of functionality to the operating system that previously resided in the BIOS: • Control and detection of system control events using a normal interrupt called System Control Interrupt (SCI) rather than System Management Interrupt (SMI) • Control of the system power state (http://www.phoenix.com/platform/acpi.html, 1998) Enables ACPIDisables ACPI

The DOC must be enabled under Integrated Periperals in the BIOS.To install the DiskOnChip as drive D on a system with a hard disk, simply reboot the system and the DiskOnChip will be installed as drive D.To install the DiskOnChip as Drive C on a system with a hard disk, see “Configuring the DiskOnChip 2000 as the First Drive” on page 66.

Copying the operating system files into the DiskOnChip is performed like in any other hard disk. The following steps describe a typical initialization process:1Set up the DiskOnChip as a regular drive in your system (not a BOOT drive).2Install a bootable floppy diskette in drive A and BOOT the system.3At the DOS prompt, type SYS C: to transfer the DOS system files to the DiskOnChip (assuming the DiskOn-Chip is installed as drive C).4Copy all necessary files into the DiskOnChip.5Remove the floppy diskette and reboot the system. The system will BOOT from the DiskOnChip, and will allow you to run and access any files that have been copied into the DiskOnChip.The hard drive must be set on the 2nd IDE controller.

Formatting initializes the media and writes a new and empty DOS file system to the media. When formatting is complete, the media contains only a root directory.The Flash Disk is fully tested and formatted before the product is shipped, but it can be formatted more than once. Each time it is formatted, all data on the media is destroyed. When reformatting, the boot-image is retained by default.The DFORMAT syntax is:Usage: DFORMAT {drive-letter/WIN:segment} [/SIZE:size] [/USE:nnn] [/LABEL:label] [/DOSVER:n] [/SPARE:n] [/Y]The DFORMAT options are:Example 1: DFORMAT C:Formats the Flash Disk used as Drive C.Example 2: DFORMAT /WIN:D000Formats the Flash Disk located at memory address hex D000. If any other hard disk is present in the system, the Flash Disk is identified as drive D:CONFIGURING THE DISKONCHIP AS A BOOTABLE DISKThe Flash Disk fully supports the BOOT capability. For the Flash Disk to be bootable, it should be DOS formatted as bootable, like any floppy or hard disk required to be bootable.Example 1: SYS D:Changes the disk into a bootable medium, assuming the Flash Disk is disk D:.driver-letter DOS driver letter of the TrueFFS drive./WIN:Segment Memory address in which the DiskOnChip is located. Use either this flag or the driver-letter flag./SIZE:size The size of the flash media to be formatted (including the install partition). By default the entire media is formatted by DFORMAT. This option limits the formatted size./USE:nnn Percentage of available space on the flash media to be used for file storage. nnn can be any number from 1 to 100. Default is 99 (99%).The value of this option may affect the write performance of TrueFFS./DOSVER:dos-major-version Format for a target system running the specified DOS version. The default is the current DOS version (the one on which DFORMAT is executed). For example, /DOSVER:3 formats for DOS 3.X. Valid values are 1 to 6./SPARE:n Number of spare units. Default is 1. A value 0 selects a WORM (Write Once Read Many)./Y Do not pause for confirmation before beginning to format.
