About this Manual

This maintenance manual describes how to perform hardware service maintenance for the

Toshiba Personal Computer 730CDT, referred to as 730CDT in this manual.

The procedures described in this manual are intended to help service technicians isolate faulty

Field Replaceable Units (FRUs) and replace them in the field.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Four types of messages are used in this manual to bring important

information to your attention. Each of these messages will be italicized

and identified as shown below.

DANGER: “Danger” indicates the existence of a hazard that could result in

death or serious bodily injury if the safety instruction is not observed.

WARNING: “Warning” indicates the existence of a hazard that could result

in bodily injury if the safety instruction is not observed.

CAUTION: “Caution” indicates the existence of a hazard that could result in

property damage if the safety instruction is not observed.

NOTE: A Note contains general information that relates to safe maintenance

services.

Improper repair of the computer may result in safety hazards. Toshiba requires ser-

vice technicians and authorized dealers or service providers to ensure that the

following safety precautions are strictly adhered to:

❑Be sure to fasten screws securely with the right screwdriver. If a

screw is not fully fastened, it could come loose, creating a danger of a

short circuit, which could cause overheating, smoke or fire.

❑If you replace the battery pack, RTC battery or backup battery, be

sure to use only the same model battery or an equivalent battery

recommended by Toshiba. Installation of the wrong battery can cause

the battery to explode.

Conventions

This manual uses the following formats to describe, identify, and highlight terms and operating

procedures.

Acronyms

On the first appearance and whenever necessary for clarification, acronyms are en-

closed in parentheses following their definition. For example:

Read Only Memory (ROM)

Keys

Keys are used in the text to describe many operations. The keytop symbol, as it

appears on the keyboard, is printed in boldface type. For example:

Enter Identifies the Enter key

Key Operation

Some operations require that you simultaneously use two or more keys. We identify

these operations by the keytop symbols separated by a plus (+) sign. For example,

Ctrl + Pause (Break) means you must hold down the Ctrl key, and at the same time

press Pause (Break). If three keys are used, hold down the first two, and at the same

time press the third.

1.1 Features

The Toshiba 730CDT uses extensive Large Scale Integration (LSI) and Complementary

Metal-Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) technology to provide minimum size and weight, low

power usage and a high degree of reliability. The computer is fully optimized for Windows ®

95 and supports plug and play technology. The computer incorporates the following features

and benefits:

❑Microprocessor

This computer uses an Intel ®Pentium®150 MHz processor with Voltage Reduction

Technology (VRT) operating at 3.1/3.3 volts.

❑Cache memory

The CPU contains a 16 KB cache and a 256 KB level-2 cache with pipe-line burst

SRAM.

❑Disk storage

This computer has a 2.1 billion byte (2.02 GB) removable HDD pack.

❑Selectable Bay

The Selectable Bay allows connection to either a Floppy Disk Drive (FDD) or a CD-

ROM drive.

The FDD supports 3.5-inch 2HD (1.44 MB) disks and 2DD (720 KB) disks. The FDD

drive can be connected to an external FDD port with an attachment when the CD-

ROM drive is installed in the Selectable Bay.

A full-size, six-speed CD-ROM drive contains an AT Attachment Packet Interface

(ATAPI) controller, and supports the following formats: Red-Book, Yellow-Book,

CD-ROM XA, Photo CD, CD-Bridge, CD-I, and CD Plus.

❑Memory

This computer comes standard with 16 MB of Extend Data Out (EDO) DRAM. This

includes 640 KB of conventional memory and 15488 KB of extended memory.

❑Display

The 730CDT has a 12.1-inch, Thin Film Transistor (TFT) color LCD displaying 1024

x 768 pixels. The built-in display controller supports full color capability up to 1280 x

1024 resolution on an external monitor.

❑Keyboard

An-easy-to-use 82/84-key keyboard includes a numeric keypad overlay for fast nu-

meric data entry or for cursor and page control. The keyboard supports software that

uses a 101-key or 102-key enhanced keyboard.

❑Batteries

Three different batteries are used in this computer: a Lithium-Ion main battery, a

backup battery (for memory backup), and a Real Time Clock (RTC) battery.

❑Expansion memory slot

An optional 8, 16, 32, 64, or 128 MB memory module can be installed in the memory

slot.

❑Parallel port

This port can be used to connect a Centronics compatible printer or other parallel

device. The port supports Extended Capabilities Port (ECP) conforming to

IEEE·1284.

❑Serial port

The serial controller is 16550UART compatible. This standard, 9-pin, serial port can

be used to connect serial devices such as a serial printer, serial mouse, or external

modem.

❑External monitor port

The female, 15-pin, D-shell connector can be connected to an external SVGA moni-

tor. This computer supports Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) Display

Data Channel (DDC) 2B compatible functions.

❑PS/2mouse/keyboard port

Either a PS/2 compatible keyboard or a PS/2 compatible mouse can be connected to

this port.

❑PC card slot

The PC card slot accommodates two Personal Computer Memory Card International

Association (PCMCIA) 5 mm cards (Type II), or one 10.5 mm (Type III) card which

supports PCMCIA Release 2.01. These slots can also support advanced PC cards,

such as PC Card 16’s multifunction card, CardBus 32-bit card, or a Zoomed Video

(ZV) port, which is dedicated to high-performance video data transfer such as MPEG

video playback. The optional Desk Station V Plus and Enhanced Port Replictor II

support two additional 10.5 mm cards.

❑Docking interface port

This 240-pin port allows connection to an Enhanced Port Replicator II or a Desk

Station V Plus.

The Enhanced Port Replicator II duplicates the following ports on the computer: PS/2

keyboard, PS/2 mouse, serial, parallel, external monitor, audio line-in, audio line-out,

headphone, and microphone. It also provides a joystick port and two additional PC

card slots (Type III).

The Desk Station V Plus expands the features of the Enhanced Port Replicator II by

adding two PCI/ISA and one PCI bus expansion slots, a 5.25-inch disk drive bay, a

Selectable Bay, and an on-board SCSI-2 (small computer system interface) controller.

❑External FDD port

The external FDD port lets you connect an external FDD device when a CD-ROM

drive is installed.

❑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.

❑Serial infrared port

This computer incorporates an IrDA1.0 (infrared data association) standard infrared

transmitter and receiver. It allows cableless data transfer at 115.2 Kbps.

❑Sound System

The sound system is compatible with Sound Blaster TM ProTM and Windows Sound

System. This computer is equipped with a microphone, stereo speakers, and the

following jacks: audio line-in, audio line-out, headphone, and microphone.
