Server 320 (8640) systems are manufactured in two basic models: 1. PCI/EISA. 2. PCI/MicroChannel. Models 0xx and 1xx are Dual Pentium PCI/EISA systems. Models Mxx are Dual Pentium PCI/MicroChannel systems. PCI/EISA models use system board FRU P/N06H2173. PCI/MicroChannel models use system board FRU P/N96G1340. All system board FRU's are without the processor chip and heat sink, which are separate FRU P/N's. ================================================================ BIOS REVISIONS FOR THE PC SERVER 320 PCI/EISA MODELS -------- The filename is 320BIOSE.DSK ON THE IBM PC Co.
