1.1 Introduction

AIS-E1 adopts the Intel® CoreTM i7/ i5/ Celeron® QC/DC Processor
up to 45W. The chipset is equipped with Intel

®

QM67. Moreover,
the system memory features two DDR3 1066/1333/1600 MHz
SODIMM up to 16 GB. It deploys two LAN ports that consist of
10/100/1000Base-TX Ethernet RJ-45 ports. AIS-E1 condensed
appearance features desktop and wallmount form factor that fits
nicely into a space-limited environment.

This AIS-E1 supports up to one 3.5” Hard Disk Drive and four 2.5”
HDD/SSD and one slim ODD. Moreover, the flexible expansion
interfaces feature one PCI-Express[x4], one Mini PCIe socket,
and one CFast™. In addition, this model supports one
RS-232/422/485 port, optional five RS-232 ports, and six USB2.0
(two ports on the front panel, four with USB2.0 connectors).
Furthermore, the Realtek ALC892 supports HD audio codec and
the AIS-E1 can support dual displays with VGA, DVI-D, and
HDMI via Intel

®

QM67.

With the increasing demands of high performance in audio and
video, AAEON released the specific Advanced System Controller
to fulfill the needs of the applications, such as Factory Automation,
Building Automation, and etc.

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.

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 AIS-E1 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.

3.2 AMI BIOS Setup

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.

A.1 Programming

AIS-E1 utilizes ITE IT8728 chipset as its watchdog timer controller.

Below are the procedures to complete its configuration and the
AAEON intial watchdog timer program is also attached based on
which you can develop customized program to fit your application.

Configuring Sequence Description

After the hardware reset or power-on reset, the ITE 8728 enters the
normal mode with all logical devices disabled except KBC. The
initial state (enable bit ) of this logical device (KBC) is determined
by the state of pin 121 (DTR1#) at the falling edge of the system
reset during power-on reset.

Appendix A Programming the Watchdog Timer A-2

Advanced System

AIS-E1

There are three steps to complete the configuration setup: (1) Enter
the MB PnP Mode; (2) Modify the data of configuration registers; (3)
Exit the MB PnP Mode. Undesired result may occur if the MB PnP
Mode is not exited normally.

(1) Enter the MB PnP Mode

To enter the MB PnP Mode, four special I/O write operations are to
be performed during Wait for Key state. To ensure the initial state of
the key-check logic, it is necessary to perform four write ope rations
to the Special Address port (2EH). Two different enter keys are
provided to select configuration ports (2Eh/2Fh) of the next step.

(2) Modify the Data of the Registers

All configuration registers can be accessed after entering the MB
PnP Mode. Before accessing a selected register, the content of
Index 07h must be changed to the LDN to which the register
belongs, except some Global registers.

(3) Exit the MB PnP Mode

Set bit 1 of the configure control register (Index=02h) to 1 to exit the
MB PnP Mode.

WatchDog Timer Configuration Registers

Configure Control (Index=02h)

This register is write only. Its values are not sticky; that is to say, a
hardware reset will automatically clear the bits, and does not
require the software to clear them.
