s hyper page mode DRAM support (7-3-3-3 Reads @ 66 Mhz, 32 MB expansion
memory board only)
s direct mapped organization-write back policy s fully synchronous 33 Mhz PCI bus interface.
256K X Flash ROM
The N28F020 flash ROM is a 32-pin, plastic lead chip carrier (PLCC). The chip allows easy updates to the system's BIOS if needed. More specifically, the ROM is flashed electronically, installing the latest BIOS revisions to the system. It is possible to reprogram the BIOS up to 100,000 times. See Section 2, Setup and Operation, for BIOS update procedures. The N28F020 provides the system upgrade capability as well as the following: s 256 KB memory
s Quick-Pulse Programming Algorithm s 150 nanoseconds (ns) maximum access time s ETOX Nonvolatile flash technology s CMOS low power consumption
ROM BIOS
The system uses a Flash ROM known as the system's ROM BIOS to store machine language programs. The BIOS size is 256 KB, consisting of the system utility (PCMCIA, Auto Setup), system BIOS, video BIOS, and power management. The BIOS programs execute the power-on self-test (POST), initialize CPU controllers, and interact with the LCD indicator panel, diskette drive, hard drive, communication devices and peripherals. The system BIOS also contains Auto Setup and provides VGA controller support. The ROM BIOS is copied into RAM (shadowing) for optimum performance.
1-20
Technical Information
The ROM BIOS contains both the system and video BIOS. The system BIOS is located in the upper portion of the device, video BIOS is located in the lower portion. System BIOS is located between F000h-FFFFh. The BIOS often changes after the product release to provide enhanced features or bug fixes. To acquire the latest BIOS release, the ROM is flashed electronically allowing the BIOS update to occur without removing the ROM. See Section 2, Setup and Operation, for BIOS upgrade procedures.
VGA Controller
The Chips and Technologies 65550 integrates a flat panel CRT GUI accelerator and multimedia engine. The controller provides advanced power management that helps to minimize power usage in:
s normal operation s Suspend mode s panel off power saving modes.
Parallel Interface
The PC87338VLJ chip is a 100-pin Thin Quad Flat Plastic (TQFP) chip. The controller changes 8-bit parallel data into serial data and writes the data to the diskette. Conversely, the serial data is transmitted from the diskette into parallel data, where it remains until the read operation takes place. Additional PC87338VLJ chip operations include: s ISA compatibility
s low-power CMOS with enhanced power-down mode
Keyboard Controller
The keyboard controller (M38813E4HP) supports a PS/2-style keyboard, mouse and security features such as keyboard hot keys and password. Refer to Appendix A for keyboard interface connector pin assignments. When data is written to the output buffer, the controller generates an interrupt, and requests the CPU to receive the data. The controller automatically adds an even parity bit to the data sent and waits for a response. The device must acknowledge that the data was successfully received by sending a response to the controller for each byte of data received.
PCMCIA Controller
The Texas Instruments PCI1130 controller interfaces with the PCI bus, PCMCIA card socket and configuration registers to provide:
Technical Information

POWER MANAGEMENT OVERVIEW
Power Management in the NEC Versa 6000 lets you conserve energy, save battery power, extend the life of your LCD backlight, and protect against data loss due to low battery power. Set some features to function automatically or activate them manually with the keyboard or a button. It is wise to keep Power Management features enabled, even when using AC power. The system arrives set up with many power-saving features already enabled. See the following table.
Table 1-5

Automatic Power-Saving Features
Default Timeout 2 minutes Comment Backlight turns off after there is no keyboard or VersaGlide input for the specified timeout. Hard disk motor stops when hard disk is not accessed for specified timeout. System enters Standby mode after total system inactivity.
Hard disk
30 seconds
Standby
4 minutes
You can change the timeout period for any of the devices using Setup. See Section 2 for Setup utility procedures.
Technical Information
1-23
The NEC PowerPanel Utility icon also allows you to change the timeout period for some of these devices. See Section 2, Setup and Operation for an overview of PowerPanel. Use the Fn F7 key combination to set the power management level. The faucet icon changes when the power management setting changes. You can toggle between Highest Performance, Longest Battery Life, Custom Power Management, and Off. Default values change depending on the type of power management you use. NOTE: Some power management features are unavailable when an NEC docking station is connected.
System Power Management
The system power management consists of the following operation modes. These modes are:
s Active Mode In active mode, the system uses maximum power. It operates
with the default clock speed. The system continues to run at this speeds unless overwritten by the power management features.
s Suspend Mode Suspend mode causes the CPU power down, local devices to
shut down, and register values to be stored in RAM. System RAM is put into a slow refresh state. The system resumes Active mode when you press the Suspend button, the system detects a modem ring, or the system is set to resume at a certain time of day. (The system will not resume Active mode if a PCMCIA modem detects a ring.) Suspend mode lets you save power without first saving the working data. Press the Suspend button to enter Suspend mode when you need to be away from the system for a short period of time and want to return to where you left off.
s Standby Mode The system switches automatically to Standby mode. This
eliminates unnecessary power consumption when you operate the system on battery power or AC. Standby mode shuts down the LCD panel, providing privacy as well as power savings.
Local Power Management
Use Auto Setup to select one of four power management settings for local devices. These include Longest Battery Life, Highest Performance, Custom Setup, and Power Management Off. The power management levels are also available during AC operation. The NEC Versa 6000 computer ships with Longest Battery Life as the default power management setting. See Section 2 for specific procedures on using Auto Setup to select the power management settings.
1-24
Technical Information
When set to Longest Battery Life, CMOS will set local device timeout values, a local standby timeout value, and a suspend timeout value to ensure the longest battery life. The Highest Performance setting selects CMOS values that will provide minimal energy savings and a shorter battery life. The custom settings enable end-users to set the timeout values of their choice. The Power Management Off selection terminates all power management timers. Local device timers in the system control power consumption in the LCD and Hard Disk Drive. Table 1-6 shows NEC Versa 6000 series Maximum Performance default power management timers.

PLUG AND PLAY
The NEC Versa 6000 has a Plug and Play functionality. This means you can suspend the system, add an external keyboard, mouse, or monitor, and when you resume working, the NEC Versa 6000 recognizes the devices that have been connected to it. Similarly, you can remove external devices in Suspend mode and the NEC Versa 6000 detects the status when resumed.
