1.1 Introduction
Due to the growing popularity from the IPC market, the newest Boxer series FES-6850 has been
introduced by Acnodes. Comp ared with the FES-6850, it is an advanced version because it utilizes an
Intel® Celeron processor without a fan.
New Innovation for Entertainment Multimedia Domain
In this era of information explosion, the advertising of consumer products will not be confined to the
family television, but will also spread to high-traffic public areas, like department stores, the bus,
transportation station, the supermarket etc. The advertising marketing industry will resort to every
conceivable means to transmit product information to consumers. System integrators will need a
multifunction device to satisfy commercial needs for such public advertising.
Being a control center, the FES-6850 is suit able for public multimedia entertainment services.
Equipped with a high efficiency heat conduction mechanism.
The FES-6850 is compact in size but has attractive and flexible extension capabilities such as 4

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. Y ou 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. Y ou are starting your system for the first time
2. Y ou have changed the hardware attached to your system
3. The CMOS memory has lost power and the configuration information has been erased.
The FES-6850 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.

A.1 General Information
The FES-6850 utilizes ITE 8712 chipset as its watchdog timer Controller .
Below are the procedures to complete its configuration and the Acnodes 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.

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
operations 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.
