Vectra VL 5/xx series 4 Desktop

Vectra VL 5/xx MT series 4 Mini-Tower

1 Product Overview and Features

Product Features

Overview The HP Vectra VL 5/xx series 4 is a PENTIUM (P54) processor,

ISA/PCI-based PC. It comes in two different packages, a mid-profile

desktop box and a mini-tower box.

❒The mid-profile desktop box has three front-access drive shelves and one

rear shelf. It is easily opened using two front tabs.

❒The mini-tower has four front-access drive shelves, two rear shelves, and

a high-capacity power supply. It is easily opened using two side latches.

The system consists of a system board and a backplane.

❒The desktop’s backplane has two ISA slots, one PCI slot, and one

combination ISA/PCI slot for accessory boards.

❒The mini-tower’s backplane has three ISA slots, two PCI slots, and one

combination ISA/PCI slot for accessory boards.

The system boards are the same for the desktop and the mini-tower.

New Features •A completely upgradable Pentium-based system board (using

system board switches and voltage regulator module).

• A new keyboard supporting Windows 95 special key functions.

• Vectra Ergonomic Power Solution (VEPS): space bar power-on

(under any operating system), push-button status panel, and

software shutdown from Windows 95.

• A mini-tower available for extra expandability.

• Certain multimedia models feature the high performance Matrox

MGA Millennium PCI video adapter card.

•HP’s new style BIOS.

1 Product Overview and Features

Product Features

System Board The main features of the system board are:

❒A system board that can mount PENTIUM processors (with

accompanying Voltage Regulation Module) at several different clock

speeds (90 MHz, 100 MHz, 120 MHz and 133 MHz, as well as 150 MHz and

166 MHz when they become available).

❒A new type of main memory module called EDO (Extended Data Output)

for faster memory access times (60 ns).

❒256KB of synchronous pipeline burst level 2 cache.

❒A 64-bit host bus for PENTIUM processor, cache and main memory.

❒A 32-bit Peripheral Component Interconnection (PCI) local bus for

accessing the video controller and IDE controller.

❒An Industry-Standard Architecture (ISA) bus for ISA-compatible

controllers (for devices such as flexible disk drives, serial ports,

parallel port, and audio card in multimedia models).

❒A security system that provides protection against unauthorized use of

the PC.

❒A flash BIOS updating facility.

1 Product Overview and Features

Product Features

Mini-tower Models The following mini-tower models will be available at product launch:

Microprocessor The Pentium microprocessors used in the HP Vectra VL 5/xx series 4 use

internal clock multiplication, similar to that used by the 486 DX2 processor.

The microprocessor’s internal clock is a multiple of the system clock. The

Pentium 90 MHz and 100 MHz processor multiply the 60 MHz and 66 MHz

system clock by a factor of 1.5. The Pentium 120 MHz and 133 MHz

processors double the 60 MHz and 66 MHz system clocks. To set the

appropriate switches for each processor speed, refer to the Pentium

Processor table in the section System Board Switches in chapter 2.

The system board of the HP Vectra VL 5/xx series 4 has a Voltage Regulator

Module (VRM) which supplies the Pentium processor with the correct

voltage. The VRM allows the processor to be upgraded without replacing the

system board.

The 90 MHz, 100 MHz and 133 MHz processors need a passive shortening

block VRM (providing VCC voltage), while the 120 MHz processor needs an

active VRM (providing VRE voltage). The appropriate VRM is provided with

each processor upgrade kit.
