3.7 Compact Flash Storage Card Socket(CF1)
The AR-B1851 configures Compact Flash Storage Card in IDE Mode.
This type II Socket is compatible with IBM Micro Drive.
When system boots up without the MONITOR attached during the POST, the
VBIOS will disable the MONITOR output. Under this condition, the MONITOR
display will not work and the system will need to be rebooted with the
MONITOR attached to enable the display. The problem originates from the
VBIOS of the IntelR Extreme Graphics Driver, which disables the MONITOR
output if a MONITOR is not detected during POST.

3.12 Parallel port(PRN1)
This port is usually connected to a printer. The AR-B1851 includes an on-board
parallel port.
This chapter discusses the Setup program built into the BIOS. The
Setup program allows users to configure the system. This configuration
is then stored in battery-backed CMOS RAM so that it retains the Setup
information while the power is off.
4.2 Starting Setup
The BIOS is immediately active when you turn on the computer. While
the BIOS is in control, the Setup program can be activated in one of two
ways:
1. By pressing <Del> immediately after switching the system on, or
2. By pressing the <Del> key when the following message appears
briefly at the bottom of the screen during the POST (Power On SelfTest).
Press DEL to enter SETUP.
If the message disappears before you respond and you still wish to enter
Setup, restart the system to try again by turning it OFF then ON or
pressing the "RESET" button on the system case. You may also restart
by simultaneously pressing <Ctrl>, <Alt>, and <Delete> keys. If you do
not press the keys at the correct time and the system does not boot, an
error message will be displayed and you will again be asked to...
PRESS F1 TO CONTINUE, DEL TO ENTER SETUP

Appendix A. Watchdog Timer
The WDT(Watch Dog Timer)is used to generate a variety of
output signals after a user programmable cont. The WDT is
suitable for use in the prevention of system lock-up, such as
when software becomes trapped in a deadlock. Under these
sort of circumstances, the timer will count to zero and the
selected outputs will be driven. Under normal circumstance,
the user will restart the WDT at regular intervals before the
timer counts to zero.
WATCHDOG TIMER SETTING
The watchdog timer is a circuit that maybe be used from your
program software to detect crash or hang up. The watchdog
timer is automatically disabled after reset. Once you enabled
the watchdog timer, your program should trigger the watchdog
timer every time before it times out. After you trigger the
watchdogtimer, the timer will be set to zero and start to count
again. If your program fails to trigger the watchdog timer
before times out, it will generate a reset pulse to reset the
system or trigger the IRQ9 signal in order to tell your system
that the watchdog time is out.
User could test watch dog function under ’Debug.exe’ program
as follows:

Appendix B: Digital I/O
One characteristic of digital circuit is its fast response to high or
low signal. This kind of response is highly needed for harsh and
critical industrial operating environment. Digital Input and
Output, generally, are control signals. You can use these
signals to control external devices that needs On/Off circuit or
TTL devices. You can read or write data to the selected address
to enable the function of digital IO.
Users could test GPIO function under ‘Debug.exe’ program as
