2.5 Setting Jumpers

You configure your card to match the needs of your application by

setting jumpers. A jumper is the simplest kind of electric switch. It

consists of two metal pins and a small metal clip (often protected by

a plastic cover) that slides over the pins to connect them. To “close”

a jumper you connect the pins with the clip.

To “open” a jumper you remove the clip. Sometimes a jumper will

have three pins, labeled 1, 2 and 3. In this case you would connect

either pins 1 and 2 or 2 and 3.

Open Closed Closed 2 -3

A pair of needle-nose pliers may be helpful when working with

jumpers.

If you have any doubts about the best hardware configuration for

your application, contact your local distributor or sales

representative before you make any change.

Generally, you simply need a standard cable to make most

connections.

BIOS Setup

Chapter 3 AMI BIOS Setup 3-1

Embedded Controller AEC-6637

3.1 System Test and Initialization

These routines test and initialize board hardware. If the routines
encounter an error during the tests, you will either hear a few short
beeps or see an error message on the screen. There are two kinds
of errors: fatal and non-fatal. The system can usually continue the
boot up sequence with non-fatal errors.
System configuration verification

These routines check the current system configuration against the
values stored in the CMOS memory. If they do not match, the
program outputs an error message. You will then need to run the
BIOS setup program to set the configuration information in memory.

There are three situations in which you will need to change the
CMOS settings:

1. You are starting your system for the first time

2. You have changed the hardware attached to your system

3. The CMOS memory has lost power and the configuration
information has been erased.

The AEC-6637 CMOS memory has an integral lithium battery
backup for data retention. However, you will need to replace the
complete unit when it finally runs down.

Chapter 3 AMI BIOS Setup 3-2

Embedded Controller AEC-6637

3.2 AMI BIOS Setup

AMI BIOS ROM has a built-in Setup program that allows users to
modify the basic system configuration. This type of information is
stored in battery-backed CMOS RAM so that it retains the Setup
information when the power is turned off.
Entering Setup
Power on the computer and press <Del> or <F2> immediately. This
will allow you to enter Setup.

Main

Set the date, use tab to switch between date elements.

Advanced

Enable disable boot option for legacy network devices.
