Open 8364 Case  1. Turn off the power supply switch A. 2. Disconnect all cables from the thin client. 3. Hold the 8364 cover assembly, lift latch B, and pull the logic unit C out. NOTE: If the logic unit does not want to slide out, you can pull up on the latch and push in on the white button, forcing the logic unit out. Or you can hold the 8364 with the logic unit towards the ground, and then pull up on the latch, letting gravity help. 4. Carefully lay the logic unit down with the internal components facing up. Close the 8364 Case 1. To reassemble the thin client, carefully slide the logic unit C into the cover assembly while depressing the slide stop D. NOTE: The slide stop will keep the cover from closing... 2. Slide the logic unit completely into the cover assembly, until the latch B is engaged. To lay the unit flat, remove the foot or pedestal. In
this orientation, the system can support a monitor
weighing up to 90 pounds with the minimum footprint. The 8364 Network Station provides a hardware security "lock-down" point at the back/bottom of the machine. Obtain a suitable locking cable (usually consisting of woven metal fibers with a lock on one end). Thread it through the lock-down point (or hole) and then lock it to a suitable place (such as a table or other piece of furniture). When this feature is in use, the system cannot be opened (preventing theft of internal components) and it cannot be removed from the table to which it is connected (depending on the length of the securing cable). 19K1523 IBM NETVISTA 24X CD-ROM SLIM DRIVE  The PCB connecting the ports is a Foxcon 6B-010B-A030. The drive is a TEAC CD-224E, it pulls 1.5A, +5v. The good thing is all of the IDE and power connectors are attached. When the proper terminals arrive, I hope to use this as a simple CD Rom drive to install an O/S with. Power Connector for IDE Device Aron Eisenpress chimes up with: The connector in the 8364 and the 43025-0400 are both 4 pin connectors and they mate. Just looked them up in the Mouser catalog and they are still available there too. NOTE: If you do order the connector, you have to order the pins separately! 43025-0400 Molex Micro-Fit 3.0 Connectors RECEPTACLE 4P DUAL ROW In Digi-Key and Mouser. Micro-Fit 3.0 Terminal -

Equipped Cable Hard File Connector Pinout vs 24P0621 / 24P0622
I finally got a 24P0621 / 24P0622 cable,
and Kevin Bowling had already alerted folks to the swap
of the connectors. Here is how the cable is mis-wired.
Note that in the planar connector, RED and YLW are on
the same side, while on the cable, RED and YLW are on a
diagonal... Best I can determine, the 24P0621 uses AWG
20 wire. NOTE: I had trouble
inserting the female terminal into the 43025. Upon
looking at the orientation of the female terminals into
the 43025, I noticed that the female connector resembles
a "U", with the open top towards the clip on the 43025.
By simply turning the female terminal so the "U" was
towards the clip, they clicked into place without
trouble. Mounting
IDE Drive P.P.S. The service manual is in the EPRM . It'll tell you most of what you want to know. Maximum Drive Size I am using a Hitachi 4GB MicroDrive. The full
capacity is reported by the BIOS, and it is selectable
as a Boot device. Each IDE device can have independent timings. The IDE
interface supports PIO IDE transfers up to 14 Mbytes/sec
and Bus Master IDE transfers up to 33 Mbytes/sec. It
does not consume any ISA DMA resources. The IDE
interface integrates 16x32-bit buffers for optimal
transfers. P/N 31L5143 CF Card support Additions to the PIIX4E USB interface beyond UHCI,
revision 1.1 include support for over-current detection
on USB ports 0 and 1. If an over-current condition is
detected on a USB port, that port will be disabled

8364 BIOS Settings for Hard Drive Boot (and CF)
Once into the BIOS, look for: Start Options Change NS Boot to WSOD. This works in the H4011201 (01/12/01) firmware. Boot. Eventually, you can hit F5 or any key to
continue. WSOD allows system to boot to all BIOS based OSs, ex. WSOD, OS/2, and DOS. Mounting a Microdrive in the CF Slot
I bought a Hitachi 4GB CF MicroDrive (MD4GB-BP), Model HMS360604D5CF00. Now things slowed to a full stop. The CF slot in an 8364 is for Type I cards. The MicroDrive is a Type II, which is thicker. It did not fit. After long meditation, I figured out a way to get around the width problem. Simply cut the side out. Armed with a small Swiss Army knife, I
carefully slit the REARWARD side of the CF slot. The
slot is made of thermoplastic, so it's stiff. Once I
slit the slot to the base on both sides, I simply pushed
the detached web towards the rear of the system and it
snapped. It took some wiggling, but the web broke off. Leave the ends alone, for
they have the retaining slots that keep things tight. A
bit of trimming with a box cutter, and the MD fully
seats. Further

Xcelerator,(PIIX4E) Further
Thoughts on the PC87309IBW Super IO Wake on LAN You can enable or disable the Network Station’s Wake on LAN feature by entering the setup utility. For more information, refer to the BIOS screen summary for “Power management” Clear Administrator Password and CMOS 
There are two different possibilities, WorkSpace On-Demand (WSOD) and Network Station (NS) Boot. With WSOD, all configuration settings are cleared from the BIOS. On NS Boot:, only the administrator password is cleared. Step #1 Move the
jumpers into configuration -2- Step #2 Power
on the 8364 and wait a few moments. (reconnect power
cable to 8364). Step #3 Power off
the system and move the jumpers back into the default
configuration -1-. Create Recovery CompactFash (CF) Card  NOTE: BOOTBLK: This creates a copy of the Network Station firmware (flash image). The flash image that is stored on the CF card includes both NS Boot and BIOS images. You need a CF card to complete this procedure (256MB max). This creates a copy of the 8364 firmware (flash image) on a CF card. Note: Once a recovery CF card is created for an 8364, it can only be used to re-flash an 8364. 1. Open the Case 2. Insert CF card into connector. 3. Move jumpers into configuration 2. Note: All systems ship with jumpers installed in configuration 1.  4. Power on the 8364. (reconnect the power cable to the logic unit!) 5. Wait for the system LED to flash green. Note: If system LED flashes amber, the image was not created. Repeat procedure, or see “Resolving hardware problems” on page 31 for problem determination. 6. Power off the 8364. 7. Remove the CF card and store in a safe place. 8. Move the jumpers back into the default configuration 1. Note: If jumpers are not moved back into configuration 1, your 8364 may not function

Power Consumption Remove PSU Slide chassis out of case. Unscrew the two #2 Phillips below the AC receptacle. Remove the PCI Riser bracket and the PCI riser. Flip the chassis around and remove the single phillips through the planar that is above the AC receptacle. Unplug the planar power connector just below the IDE and CF connectors by squeezing the latch and rocking the plug while pulling it out. Now slide the PSU towards the front of the case. When the AC receptacle end of the PSU clears the back of the chassis, push the PSU out of the chassis. Be careful of the power connector, I rolled the PSU along the length after removing it about half way so the power connector is rotated towards the inside. This gave me clearance to remove the PSU.
