1.1 Features
The 430CDT/430CDS (430 Series) are two of the lightest and most advanced portable
computers available. Utilizing advanced technology and high-speed components, the 430
series offers multimedia functions, excellent display legibility, battery operation and IBM PC/
AT compatibility. The 430 series system unit has the following features:
❑Microprocessor
Uses an Intel Pentium processor with Voltage Reduction Technology (VRT) that
operates at 120 MHz and 3.3/2.9 volts.
❑Disk storage
An internal 1.3 billion byte (1.26 GB) Hard Disk Drive (HDD). A 3.5-inch Floppy
Disk Drive (FDD) supports 2HD (1.44 MB) floppy disks and 2DD (720 KB) floppy
disks. The FDD can also be installed in an attachment for connection as an external
device.
❑CD-ROM Drive
A full-size, ten-speed (average) CD-ROM drive module can be installed instead of the
FDD module. The CD-ROM drive contains an ATAPI (AT attachment packet inter-
face) interface controller, and supports the following formats: audio CD, photo CD,
CD-plus, and ISO 9660.
❑Memory
Standard with 16 MB of CMOS RAM. This includes 640 KB of conventional
memory and 15360 KB of extended memory, which can be utilized as expanded
memory compatible with the Lotus/Intel/Microsoft Expanded Memory Specification
(LIM-EMS).
❑Display
The 430CDT has an 11.3-inch, Thin Film Transistor (TFT) color LCD with 800 x 600
pixels. The 430CDS has an 11.3-inch Dual-scan Supertwist Nematic (DSTN) color
LCD with 800 x 600 pixels. The built-in display controller supports 800 x 600
resolution with 16M colors capability and up to 1280 x 1024 resolution with 256
colors on an external CRT.
❑Keyboard
An-easy-to-use 82/84-key keyboard provides a numeric keypad overlay for fast
numeric data entry or for cursor and page control. The keyboard supports software
that uses a 101- or 102-key enhanced keyboard.
❑Batteries
Three different batteries: a lithium-ion (Li-Ion) main battery, a backup battery (for
memory backup), and an RTC battery (for Real Time Clock).

430 Series
❑Expansion memory slot
An optional 8, 16, or 32 MB memory module can be installed in the memory slot.
❑Parallel port
Can be used to connect a Centronics compatible printer or other parallel device. The
port supports ECP (Extended Capabilities Port) conforming to IEEE·1284.

The female, 15-pin, D-shell connector can be connected to an external SVGA moni-
tor.
❑PS/2 mouse/keyboard port
Either a PS/2 compatible keyboard or a PS/2 compatible mouse can be connected to
this port. The computer automatically recognizes which device is connected.
❑FDD port
This port enables a connection of the external FDD attachment if the CD-ROM
module is installed inside the system unit.
❑PC card slot
A PC card slot accommodates two 5mm cards (Type II) or one 10.5mm (Type III)
card, which support PCMCIA Release 2.01 cards. These slots also support advanced
cards, including PC Card 16 multifunction cards as well as the Zoomed Video (ZV)
port, which is dedicated to high-performance video data transfer such as MPEG video
play back.
❑Enhanced Port Replicator port
This port enables connection of an Enhanced Port Replicator. The Enhanced Port
Replicator has two PC card slots (Type III), and expands connections to the following
devices: PS/2 keyboard, PS/2 mouse, serial port, parallel port, external CRT, joystick/
MIDI port, audio line-in, audio line-out, headphone, external FDD, AC-in, AC-out,
and rotary switch (ID select switch).
❑AccuPoint
A pointer control stick, located in the center of the keyboard, provides convenient
control of the cursor without requiring desk space for a mouse.
❑Infrared port
Incorporates an IrDA1.0 (115.2Kbps supported) standard infrared transmitter and
receiver.

1.9 Power Supply
The power supply provides five kinds of voltages to the 430 series system board. The power
supply has one microprocessor, operates at 500 KHz, and performs the following functions:
1. Determines if the AC cable or battery is connected to the computer.
2. Detects AC output and circuit malfunctions.
3. Controls the LED icon and speaker.
4. Turns the battery charging system on and off and detects a fully charged battery.
5. Determines if the power can be turned on and off.
6. Provides more accurate detection of a low battery.
7. Calculates the remaining battery capacity.
The power supply output rating is specified in Table 1-8.

1.10 Batteries
The 430 series has three types of batteries:
❑Main battery pack
❑Backup battery
❑Real Time Clock (RTC) battery
Battery specifications are listed in Table 1-9.
Table 1-9 Battery specifications
Batteryname Material Outputvoltage Capacity
Mainbattery Lithium-Ion 10.8 V 3,600mAH
Backupbattery Nickel Metal Hydride 7.2 V 110mAH
RTCbattery NickelMetalHydride 3.6 V 30mAH
1.10.1 Main Battery
The removable main battery pack is the computer’s main power source when the AC power
cord is not attached. The main battery recharges the backup battery. The backup and main
battery maintain the state of the computer when you enable AutoResume.
❑BatteryIcon
The Battery icon is located on top of the back rim of the 430 series. The icon shows
the status of the removable battery pack.
The status of each can be determined by color:
Orange The battery is being charged. (AC power cord is attached.)
Green The battery is fully charged. (AC power cord is attached.)
Blink orange The battery is low when the power is on.
No light Under any other conditions, the LED does not light.
1.10.2 Battery Charging Control
Battery charging is controlled by a power supply microprocessor. The microprocessor
controls whether the charge is on or off and detects a full charge when the AC power cord
and battery are attached to the computer. The system charges the battery using quick charge
or trickle charge.

1-18
430 Series
❑Quick Battery Charge
When the AC power cord is attached, there are two types of charge: quick charge
when the system is powered off and trickle charge when the system is powered on.
Table 1-10 Time required for quick charges
Chargingtime
Power off About 2 to 3 hours
Power on About 5 to 8 hours
If one of the following occurs, the battery quick-charge process stops:
1. The battery becomes fully charged.
2. The battery is removed.
3. The battery or AC output voltage is abnormal.
4. The charge current is abnormal.
❑Trickle Battery Charge
When the main battery is fully charged and the AC power cord is attached, the power
supply microprocessor automatically changes from quick charge to trickle charge.
1.10.3 Backup Battery
The backup battery maintains data for AutoResume. The power source used to back up the
AutoResume data is determined according to the following priority:
AC power > Main battery > Backup battery
The backup battery is charged by the main battery or AC power cord. Table 1-11 shows the
charging time and data preservation period of the backup battery.
