Chapter 3: Operating Information
Processor
This chapter describes the 8570 Vehicle-Mount Computer in detail and explains
each hardware feature.
3.1 Processor
The 8570 Vehicle-Mount Computer provides processing power capable of operating
today's commercial-off-the-shelf software as well as custom applications written for
the MS-DOS and Windows operating systems.
The 8570 is equipped with an Intel Mobile Pentium 266 MHz* MMX processor.
This processor is a full 32-bit internal and external bus device with integrated
numeric co-processor and 512KB SRAM/L2 memory cache. This processing
capability allows the computer to support the latest application software on the
market, including a local-bus video controller, high speed zero wait RAM,
AT-compatible peripherals, and Real-Time-Clock.
*Intel Mobile Pentium III 500 MHz option available (see “Optional Features” on page 15).
3.2 Hard Disk Drive
Your 8570 contains a very rugged, shock-mounted IDE Hard Disk Drive (HDD).
The 2.5-inch HDD, a 20 GB IBM Travelstar drive, provides storage of the operating
system, application programs, and user data files. The HDD will appear to the
system as Drive C:. The HDD may be set up at in the BIOS to automatically spin
down when not in use. This increases the shock tolerance of the drive (see “The
BIOS Firmware” on page 39).
3.3 Memory
The 8570 Vehicle-Mount Computer has a minimum of 128 MB SDRAM via a 144
pin SDRAM PC100. Any future memory upgrades are factory installed.
