0.7 STATIC ELECTRICITY PRECAUTIONS

Before removing the board from its anti-static bag, read this section about static electricity precautions.
Static electricity is a constant danger to computer systems. The charge that can build up in your body
may be more than sufficient to damage integrated circuits on any PC board. It is, therefore, important to
observe basic precautions whenever you use or handle computer components. Although areas with
humid climates are much less prone to static build-up, it is always best to safeguard against accidents
that may result in expensive repairs. The following measures should be sufficient to protect your
equipment from static discharge:
n Touch a grounded metal object to discharge the static electricity in your body (or ideally, wear a

grounded wrist strap).

n When unpacking and handling the board or other system components, place all materials on an

anti-static surface.

n Be careful not to touch the components on the board, especially the “golden finger” connectors on

the bottom of the board.

3.1 BIOS SETUP OVERVIEW

The BIOS is a program used to initialize and set up the I/O system of the computer, which includes the
ISA bus and connected devices such as the video display, diskette drive, and the keyboard.
The BIOS provides a menu-based interface to the console subsystem. The console subsystem
contains special software, called firmware that interacts directly with the hardware components and
facilitates interaction between the system hardware and the operating system.
The BIOS default values ensure that the system will function at its normal capability. In the worst
situation the user may have corrupted the original settings set by the manufacturer.
After the computer is turned on, the BIOS will perform diagnostics on the system and display the size of
the memory that is being tested. Press the [Del] key to enter the BIOS Setup program, and then the
main menu will show on the screen.
The BIOS Setup main menu includes some options. Use the [Up/Down] arrow key to highlight the
option that you wish to modify, and then press the [Enter] key to select the option and configure the
functions.

Main Menu

The <Main> option allows you to record some basic system hardware configuration and set the system clock
and error handling. If the CPU board is already installed in a working system, you will not need to select
this option anymore.

3.7 BIOS UPDATE

The BIOS program instructions are contained within computer chips called FLASH ROMs that are
located on your system board. The chips can be electronically reprogrammed, allowing you to
upgrade your BIOS firmware without removing and installing chips.
The AR-B1666 provides the FLASH BIOS update function for you to easily to update to a newer BIOS

version. Please follow these operating steps to update to new BIOS:
Step 1: Turn on your system and don’t detect the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files.
Step 2: Insert the FLASH BIOS diskette into the floppy disk drive.
Step 3: In the MS-DOS mode, you can type the AWDFLASH program.
