Notice:
Mini-ITX EMB-9459T Rev.B
2.1 Safety Precautions
Always completely disconnect the power cord
from your board whenever you are working on
it. Do not make connections while the power is
on, because a sudden rush of power can
damage sensitive electronic components.
Always ground yourself to remove any static
charge before touching the board. Modern
electronic devices are very sensitive to static
electric charges. Use a grounding wrist strap at
all times. Place all electronic components on a
static-dissipative surface or in a static-shielded
bag when they are not in the chassis

2.6 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. Non-fatal error messages
usually appear on the screen along with the following instructions:
Press <F1> to RESUME
Write down the message and press the F1 key to continue the boot
up sequence.
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 EMB-9459T Rev.B 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 Award BIOS Setup 3-2

3.2 Award BIOS Setup
Awards 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> immediately. This will
allow you to enter Setup.
Standard CMOS Features
Use this menu for basic system configuration. (Date, t ime, IDE,
etc.)
Advanced BIOS Features
Use this menu to set the advanced features available on your
system.
Advanced Chipset Features
Use this menu to change the values in the chipset registers and
optimize your system performance.
Integrated Peripherals
Use this menu to specify your settings for integrated peripherals.
(Primary slave, secondary slave, keyboard, mouse etc.)
Power Management Setup
Use this menu to specify your settings for power management.
(HDD power down, power on by ring, KB wake up, etc.)
PnP/PCI Configurations
This entry appears if your system supports PnP/PCI.
PC Health Status
This menu allows you to set the shutdown temperature for your
system.
Chapter 3 Award BIOS Setup 3-3

Use this menu to specify your settings for auto detect DIMM/PCI
clock and spread spectrum.
Load Fail-Safe Defaults
Use this menu to load the BIOS default values for the
minimal/stable performance for your system to operate.
Load Optimized Defaults
Use this menu to load the BIOS default values that are factory
settings for optimal performance system operations. While AWARD
has designated the custom BIOS to maximize performance, the
factory has the right to change these defaults to meet their needs.
Set Supervisor/User Password
Use this menu to set Supervisor/User Passwords.
Save and Exit Setup
Save CMOS value changes to CMOS and exit setup.
Exit Without Saving
Abandon all CMOS value changes and exit setup.

in the CD for the meaning of each setting in this chapter.
Note:
When Testing PXE boot with LAN 1 (USB RJ1) and SATA HDD,
BIOS setting needs to be adjusted as below for preventing system hang:
Integrated peripheral --> on-chip IDE device --> on-chip Serial ATA -->
"COMBINE MODE" or "SATA ONLY"
And this adjustment will be only required with SATA HDD, No need with
IDE PATA HDD

A.1 Programming
EMB-9459T Rev.B utilizes ITE 8712 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 8712 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
Mini-ITX EMB-9459T Rev.B
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 opera -tions
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.
Appendix A Programming the Watchdog Timer A-3
Mini-ITX EMB-9459T Rev.B
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.
