Abstract: A personal computer system unit has a planar card (10) upon which is mounted a processor card (10). The processor has mounted thereon those components, except for system memory, which are most likely to be replaced for a system upgrade. The processor card (10) has a printed circuit board with printed circuits thereon that terminate along one edge at contacts (176). Two aligned edge connectors (100,101) are mounted on the planar board (50). One connector (100) has a key (173) which engages a slot (169) on the edge (48) of the processor card (10) to align the many contacts (176) with contact arms (186). Two levers (210) are mounted on the card (10) and cooperate with frame elements (201) to insert, extract and latch the processor card (10). Each element (201) also has a guide to align the processor card (10) for insertion into the edge connectors (100,101).

Abstract: BC9-90-061 BIOS LOAD FOR A PERSONAL COMPUTER SYSTEM HAVING A REMOVABLE PROCESSOR CARD An apparatus and method for loading BIOS stored on a direct access storage device into a personal computer system. The personal computer system comprises a processor card including a system processor and a read only memory; a planar board including a random access memory; and at least one direct access storage device. The processor card is removably mounted on the planar board. The read only memory includes a first portion of BIOS and data representing the type of system processor and system planar I/O configuration. The first portion of BIOS initializes the system and the direct access storage device to read in a master boot record into the system from the direct access storage device. The master boot record includes a data segment and an executable code segment. The data segment includes data representing system hardware and a system configuration which is supported by the master boot record. The first BIOS portion confirms the master boot record is compatible with the system hardware by verifying that the data from the data segment of the master boot record agrees with the system processor, system planar, and planar I/O configuration. If the master boot record is compatible with the system hardware, the first BIOS portion vectors the system processor to execute the executable code segment of the master boot record. The executable code segment confirms that the system configuration has not changed and loads in the remaining BIOS portion from the direct access storage device into random access memory. The executable code segment then verifies the authenticity of the remaining BIOS portion and vectors the system processor to begin executing the BIOS now in random access memory. BIOS executing in random access memory then boots up the operating system to begin operation of the personal computer system.

Abstract: A personal computer includes a frame unit and a top cover mounted to pivot on the frame unit. In one version of the computer, the top cover pivots upward and outward to the rear of the system as it is opened. In another version, the top cover pivots upward to the side. One or more DASD storage devices may be mounted to extend downward from the top cover. A planar board is attached atop the lower side of the frame unit, where flexible mounting hardware allows the attachment of one of several types of planar boards. A central support structure includes a riser card plugged into a connector of the planar board, and a number of card connectors into which option cards can be plugged for electrical connection with the planar board. The central support structure also includes a bracket extending along the rear of the computer, having slots through which port connectors of the option cards can extend. The central support structure is held in engagement with the connector of the planar board by the top cover when this cover is closed. When the top cover is open, the DASD storage devices may be easily replaced, the central support structure may be unplugged from the planar board, and the planar board can be easily replaced or serviced. A front surface of the computer includes a door, which is opened by rotation outward and downward, to be slid inward, providing access for the replacement of media in the storage devices. This door and the top cover are separately lockable using a multi-function lock.

Abstract: A computer system accepting feature cards for, for example, coupling external peripheral devices includes a plurality of sockets mounted on the planar board to accept edge connectors on the cards, and slots in the main enclosure to permit coupling to external peripherals. To reduce electromagnetic radiation, the slots in the main enclosure have a depth such as to define channels, and the brackets on the cards are of U-shaped cross-section such as to fit within the channels. The channel walls are conductive, and the brackets are shaped to define spaced outward contact points which closely engage the channel walls.
