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 Clos ed 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.

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 IMBI-Q57 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
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.

Industrial Motherboard IMBI-Q57
A.1 Programming
IMBI-Q57 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
Page 41
Industrial Motherboard IMBI-Q57
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.

WatchDog Ti mer 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.
