Description
System Strengths
Superior performance is accomplished by:
- New generation PowerPC technology -- fast PowerPC 603e 100MHz
microprocessor with integrated 32KB Level 1 cache,
floating-point unit, and power management.
These systems also include a standard 256KB Level 2 cache and 64-bit memory controller on the 850; 32-bit memory controller on the 820.
- Memory is expandable up to 96MB for the 850; to 48MB for the 820. Each system includes an 810MB SCSI-2 disk drive but can be purchased with 1.2GB drive instead.
- Support for multimedia applications with built-in stereo speakers and microphone, integrated 16-bit business audio, PCI local bus G10 Graphics Adapter or G10 Graphics With Motion Video Adapter and built-in CD-ROM.
- PCMCIA slots offer communication expansion capability.
- Usability is considered in 262mm/10.4-inch* displays, familier IBM keyboard with Trackpoint, efficient power management (operating system dependent), user-removable hard disk drive and CD-ROM drive.
* Maximum viewable area when measured diagonally.

Compatibility
The IBM ThinkPad Power Series 820 and IBM ThinkPad Power Series 850 systems are designed to be compatible with the PowerPC Reference Platform Specification.
IBM ThinkPad Power Series 820 and IBM ThinkPad Power Series 850 are designed to maintain compatibility with standard PCMCIA adapters. For an industry standard PCMCIA adapter to work in these systems, device driver support is required. You must determine if the operating system chosen supports a particular device, or if the supplier of the device provides the necessary drivers.
The 820 and 850 systems contain setup/diagnostics software in its Flash ROM called "Easy-Setup".
Easy-Setup allows you to set:
- Passwords
- Start-up sequence for the drives
- SCSI IDs for the SCSI-2 adapter and the internal hard disk
Easy-Setup also runs the diagnostics through a graphical user interface.
Limitations
- For the 820, the video connector cable box which is shipped with the G10 Graphics with Motion Video Adapter is requred for motion video input and output.
- G10 Graphics with Motion Video Adapter supports NTSC video input and output, and PAL video input only.
- G10 Graphics with Motion Video is supported in the operating
system environment only. Support may vary by operating system.
- Software developers envisioning the use of DCBZ or MTMSR PowerPC instructions should consult the programming guidelines area of the IBM Power Series Systems Products and Solutions home page on the World Wide Web. URL: http://www.austin.ibm.com/powrinfo.html
- The 820 system has a total of three DIMM memory slots per system. Two are used for base memory. Using 16MB DIMM optional feature cards, up to 48MB of system memory is possible.
- Audio functions are supported only in the operating system environment. Audio support may vary by operating system. Audio support for AIX requires IBM Ultimedia Services Version 2.1, or later.
- The power management function is implemented in the operating system environment, and will affect the expected battery life.
- The system is designed so customers can install or remove a PCMCIA card without turning off the system, if the PCMCIA card and operating system selected support this function. Refer to the PCMCIA card instructions.
- The keyboard is an integral part of the IBM ThinkPad Power Series 820/850. It cannot be interchanged as other RS/6000 keyboards may and key caps cannot be exchanged.
- When the system is working under some operating systems, removal and installation of a PCMCIA card may not be supported during the power-on state.
- When installing two Type II PCMCIA communications cards in the PCMCIA slot, cable interference may allow only one card to be used.
- PC Card point enablers may write directly to the hardware, bypassing Socket and Card Services. Writing directly to the hardware may cause problems that cannot be anticipated. Point enablers may interfere with client device drivers that do communicate with Socket and Card Services. Additional customer testing in their specific environments is recommended.
- Maximum data transfer rate of the built-in, double-speed CD-ROM drive is approximately 300KBps when used with the IBM ThinkPad Power Series 820 or IBM ThinkPad Power Series 850.
- The IBM Keyboard/Mouse Connector cable is required when attaching an external keyboard to the system via the external input device port.
- When running AIX with a tablet instead of the TrackPoint III in the AIXwindow environment, execute (rmdev -1 mouse0) at the command line before starting the AIXwindow environment.
- Devices supported depends on the operating system used and on the availability of its device driver. It is recommended that this information be verified with the device driver.
- Device drivers for x86 systems supplied with PCMCIA cards will not execute on these systems. Customer must insure that PowerPC device drivers are available for the card.
- The resolution of NTSC OUT is less than VGA resolution. The screen quality may not be equal to what is expected.
Suspend Mode/Hibernation Mode Operational Considerations:
The system can enter suspend mode when using a PCMCIA card with one of the following operating systems:
- IBM AIX Version 4.1.4 for Clients
- Windows NT Workstation 3.51 (PowerPC Edition)
Note: Removing or installing PCMCIA cards during suspend/hibernation mode is not recommended. Also the suspend/hibernation mode capabilities are operating system dependent.
Planning Information
Customer Responsibilities
The IBM ThinkPad Power Series 820 and IBM ThinkPad Power Series 850 are designated as customer setup.
Customer setup, service, and programming publications are available. Customer setup allowance is one day. Following the setup instructions, you attach the peripherals, install the battery, connect the AC adapter, and turn on the system. If the operating system does not come up, the system documentation can step you through the start-up procedures.
Cable Orders
You may need to order a Keyboard/Mouse Connector cable if an external keyboard is required.
You must order a SCSI-2 cable if you want to attach an external SCSI-2 device.
Installability
The IBM ThinkPad Power Series 820 and IBM ThinkPad Power Series 850 systems require less than an hour for installation. Installation includes unpacking, setting up and powering on the system. Additional time may be required to install memory, an operating system, or other features.
Security, Auditability and Control
Standard Security Features
- Passwords
- A power-on password (POP) helps protect the system from unauthorized use. If a POP is set, the password prompt appears each time the system is turned on.
- A supervisor password provides a higher level of security than the POP. The supervisor password helps protect the system functions from being used by unauthorized users and helps protect the hardware configuration from unauthorized modification. If a supervisor password has been set, the system will prompt you to enter a password when trying to access Configuration or Start up sequence sub-menu of Easy-Setup.
- You can connect the hook on the locking mechanism to a leash with a user-selected padlock and chain or cable.
- The system is Vital Product Data (VPD) enabled. VPD is a software system identification method.
World Trade Considerations: The IBM ThinkPad Power Series 820 and IBM ThinkPad Power Series 850 systems support an icon-based interface that eliminates the need for national language translation. Customers select icons from an easily understandable menu to configure the system.
National Language Support (NLS) is also dependent on the operating system used. Refer to the OS manuals to determine support for a particular country. User management is responsible for evaluation, selection and implementation of security features, administrative procedures and appropriate controls in application systems and communications facilities.
