1. CPU. Employs QED RM5231. Clock frequency: 200 MHz.
2. ASIC: SIMAC. Uses a dedicated chip developed for use with GW architecture.
The CPU and memory I/F employ a 100 MHz bus (32 bit). These components
perform CPU and I/F control and also control all of the following functions:
memory, local bus, interrupts, PCI bus, video data, HDD, network, operation
panel, IEEE1284, and image processing.
3. SDRAM. Comprises a 32 MB RAM chip, expandable with a 32 MB or 64 MB
SDRAM.
4. System Flash ROM. Provided with an 8 MB Flash ROM for the system OS and
copier application.
5. Flash ROM DIMM Slots. Two slots are provided for two ROM DIMMs (4 MB or
8MB). Expansion slots provided for the optional printer, scanner, facsimile, and
PostScript 3 applications.
6. NVRAM. 32 KB of NVRAM are provided for the system. NVRAM stores many
settings, including OS System log information, copier calendar, current system
settings, user accounts (max. 100) and all settings for the fax, printer, scanner,
and network. NVRAM also has the RTC (Real Time Clock) for time
management.
NOTE: Optional NVRAM, which can store to 400 user accounts, can be
installed on the controller.
7. HDD. A 3.5" HDD (more than 10 GB) can be connected using an IDE I/F. The
hard disk is partitioned as shown below.
