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. 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-6905 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 Programming
FES-6905 utilizes the ITE 8712 chipset as its watchdog timer controller . Below are the procedures
to complete its configuration and the Acnodes initial watchdog timer program is also attached with
which you can develop a 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 opera-tions
to the Special Address port (2EH). T wo dif ferent 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.
