1.1 Introduction
AIS-Q574 adopts the Intel® CoreTM i3/i5/i7 LGA 1156 Processors.
The chipset is equipped with Intel
®
Q57. Moreover, the system
memory features two DDR3 1066/1333 MHz DIMM up to 4 GB. It
deploys two LAN ports that consist of 10/100/1000Base-TX
Ethernet RJ-45 ports. AIS-Q574 condensed appearance features
desktop and wallmount form factor that fits nicely into a
space-limited environment.
This AIS-Q574 equipped with two 3.5” Hard Disk Drive with SATA
3.0Gb/s interface and one optional slim DVD-RW. Moreover, the
flexible expansion interfaces feature one PCI-Express[x16], one
PCI-Express[x4], and two PCI-Express[x1] x 2 slots. In addition,
this model supports two COM ports and eight USB2.0 (four ports
at I/O interfaces and four ports on the front panel). Furthermore,
the Realtek ALC888 supports HD audio codec and the AIS-Q574
can support dual displays with VGA and DVI via Intel
®
Q57.
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-Q574 CMOS me mory has an integral lithium battery
backup for data retention. However, you will need to replace the
complete unit when it finally runs down.

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.

A.1 Programming
AIS-Q574 utilizes ITE 8718 chipset as its watchdog
timer controller. Below are the procedures to complete its
configuration and the AAEON initial 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 8718 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
Controller
AIS-Q574
There are three steps to complete the configuration setup: (1) Enter
the MB PnP Mode; (2) Modify the data of configuration re gisters; (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 st ate. To ensure the initial state of
the key-check logic, it is necessary to p erform four write opera-tio ns
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 Regist ers
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.
