Basics Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) - 7 Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) The Power Macintosh 7200 Series and WS 7250 computers offer a Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) expansion bus. Because the PCI bus is an industry standard, most existing PCI 2.0-compliant cards (with the addition of a Mac OS-specific software driver) will work in these computers. PCI offers significantly higher performance than the NuBus architecture used in previous Macintosh models. Runn

Basics Dual In-Line Memory Modules (DIMMs) - 8 Dual In-Line Memory Modules (DIMMs) The Power Macintosh 7200 Series and WS 7250 computers use DRAM Dual In-Line Memory Modules (DIMMs) instead of DRAM SIMMs. Whereas SIMMs have 72 pins, DIMMs have 168 pins. The extra pins provide a 64-bit data path, compared to a 32-bit data path for SIMMs. In addition, DIMMs do not have to be installed in pairs like the SIMMs on earlier Macintosh models. Important: The VRAM and DRAM Single In-Line

Basics Memory Configurations - 9 Memory Configurations The Power Macintosh 7200 and WS 7250 logic boards have four DRAM DIMM slots, each with a 64-bit data bus. You can increase the computer’s DRAM to a total of 256 MB using 5- volt, 64-bit-wide, 168-pin fast-paged mode, 70 ns DIMMs. Note: These computers do not have any main memory soldered to the logic board. At least one DRAM DIMM must be present for the computer to operate. DRAM DIMMs can be installed individually or in pairs. Th

Basics Memory Configurations - 10 Note: DIMMs purchased from different manufacturers can be paired; However, Apple recommends that you use DIMMs of the same size and speed. The drawing on the next page illustrates where the DRAM slots are located on the Power Macintosh 7200 Series/WS 7250 logic boards and how they are numbered. DRAM can be installed in any order.

Basics Ethernet Support - 12 Ethernet Support There are two Ethernet ports on the Power Macintosh 7200 Series and WS 7250 logic boards: an AAUI port and a 10BASE-T port. You can use only one Ethernet port at one time, however. If you have cables plugged into both Ethernet ports, the computer uses the 10BASE-T port by default. GeoPort Geoport is a hardware and software communications architecture that has been optimized for computer- telephony integration. It has three main attribute
