1 Hardware

Configuration

1.1 Introduction

The AIMB-221 is the most advanced AMD M690T/M690E series industrial motherboard for industrial applications that require high-performance computing. The motherboard supports the mobile and desktop Socket S1g1 Athlon 64/Athlon 64FX/Athlon X2/AMD Sempron/AMD Turion 64 processors with 200, 400, 600, 800, and 1,000 MHz HyperTransport (HT) interface speeds and DDR2 533/667/800 MHz memory up to 4 GB.

The AIMB-221 incorporates the AMD M690T/M690E chipset to offer cost-effective integrated graphics. The M690T/M690E chipset features ATI Radeon

graphics core to maximize VGA performance with up to 512 MB of shared system memory. In addition, the AIMB-221 has a single/dual Gigabit Ethernet LAN via a dedicated PCIe x1 bus, which offers bandwidth of up to 500 MB/s, eliminating network bottlenecks. High reliability and outstanding performance make the the AIMB-221 the ideal platform for industrial networking applications.

By using the ATI SB600 chipset, the AIMB-221 offers one 32-bit, 33-MHz PCI and a variety of features such as 4 on-board SATA II interfaces (bandwidth = 300 MB/s), 8 USB 2.0 connections; 1 ATA 100/66/33 port; and HD Audio. These powerful I/O capabilities ensure even more reliable data storage capabilities and high-speed I/O peripheral connectivity. When accompanied by Advantech's SNMP-1000 intelligent SNMP/HTTP system manager module, the AIMB-221 permits users to monitor and manage the system remotely. This is particularly crucial for mission-critical applications.

The AIMB-221 also adopts Advantech's unique patented "Sleep Mode Control Circuit" for AT Power Mode.

X1250 3D

1.2 Features

! High Performance I/O Capability: Dual/single Gigabit LAN via PCIe x1 bus, 1

PCI 32-bit/33 MHz PCI slots, 4 SATA2 connectors and 8 USB 2.0 ports.

! Standard Mini-ITX form factor with industrial features: AIMB-221 provides

industrial features like long product life, reliable operation under wide temperature range, watchdog timer, CMOS backup functions, etc.

! Health status monitoring and remote management: System voltage levels,

fan speed and CPU temperature are monitored to ensure stable operation. The remote management interface allows the system to be managed through Ethernet when it is connected to the SNMP-1000 Remote HTTP/SNMP System Manager.

! BIOS CMOS backup and restore: When BIOS CMOS setup has been com-

pleted, data in the CMOS RAM is automatically backed up to the Flash ROM. This is particularly useful in harsh environments which may cause setup data loss such as battery failure. Upon such an error occurring, the BIOS will check the data, and automatically restore the original data for booting.

! Automatically power on after power failure: It is often required to have an

unattended system come back to operation when power resumes after a power failure. Advantech's industrial motherboard allows users to set the system to power on automatically without pushing the power on button.

1.8 Safety Precautions

Warning! Always completely disconnect the power cord from your chassis when-

ever you work with the hardware. Do not make connections while the power is on. Sensitive electronic components can be damaged by sudden power surges. Only experienced electronics personnel should open the PC chassis.

Caution! Always ground yourself to remove any static charge before touching the

motherboard. Modern electronic devices are very sensitive to static electric charges. As a safety precaution, 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.

Caution! The computer is provided with a battery-powered Real-time Clock cir-

cuit. There is a danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Discard used batteries according to manufacturer's instructions.

Caution! There is a danger of a new battery exploding if it is incorrectly installed.

1.9 Jumper Settings

This section provides instructions on how to configure your motherboard by setting the jumpers. It also includes the motherboard default settings and your options for each jumper.

1.9.1 How to set jumpers

You can configure your motherboard to match the needs of your application by setting the jumpers. A jumper is a metal bridge that closes an electrical circuit. 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" (or turn on) a jumper, you connect the pins with the clip. To "open" (or turn off) a jumper, you remove the clip. Sometimes a jumper consists of a set of three pins, labeled 1, 2, and 3. In this case you connect either pins 1 and 2, or 2 and 3. A pair of needle-nose pliers may be useful when setting jumpers.

AMB-221 User Manual 8

1.9.2 CMOS clear (JCMOS1)

The AIMB-221 motherboard contains a jumper that can erase CMOS data and reset the system BIOS information. Normally this jumper should be set with pins 1-2 closed. If you want to reset the CMOS data, set JCMOS1 to 2-3 closed for just a few seconds, and then move the jumper back to 1-2 closed. This procedure will reset the CMOS to its default setting.

1.9.3 Watchdog timer output (JWDT1)

The AIMB-221 contains a watchdog timer that will reset the CPU or send a signal to IRQ11 in the event the CPU stops processing. This feature means the AIMB-221 will recover from a software failure or an EMI problem. The JWDT1 jumper settings control the outcome of what the computer will do in the event the watchdog timer is tripped.

1.10 System Memory

The AIMB-221 has two sockets for 200-pin dual inline memory modules (SODIMMs) in two memory channels.

All these sockets use 1.8 V unbuffered double data rate synchronous DRAMs (DDR SDRAM). They are available in capacities of 256, 512 1024 and 2048 MB. The sockets can be filled in any combination with DIMMs of any size, giving a total memory size between 256 MB and 4 GB.

1.10.1 CPU FSB and memory speed

The AIMB-221 can accept DDR2 SDRAM memory chips without parity. Also note that the AIMB-221 accepts DDR2 533/667/800 MHz SDRAM. The AIMB-221 does not support ECC (error checking and correction).

1.11 Memory Installation Procedures

To install DIMMs, first make sure the two handles of the DIMM socket are in the "open" position. i.e. The handles lean outward. Slowly slide the DIMM module along the plastic guides on both ends of the socket, and then press the DIMM module right down into the socket, until you hear a click. This is when the two handles have automatically locked the memory module into the correct position of the DIMM socket. To remove the memory module, just push both handles outward, and the memory module will be ejected by the mechanism in the socket.

AIMB-221 User Manual 18

The TFP410 is a DVI-compliant digital transmitter that is used in digital host monitor systems to T.M.D.S. encode and serialize RGB pixel data streams. TFP410 supports resolutions from VGA to UXGA and can be controlled in two ways:

1. Configuration and state pins or

2. The programmable I2C serial interface (see the terminal functions section).

The host in a digital display system, usually a PC or consumer electronics device, contains a DVI-compatible transmitter such as the TI TFP410 that receives 24-bit pixel data along with appropriate control signals. The TFP410 encodes the signals into a high speed, low voltage, differential serial bit stream optimized for transmission over a twisted-pair cable to a display device. The display device, usually a flat-panel monitor, requires a DVI compatible receiver like the TI TFP401 to decode the serial bit stream back to the same 24-bit pixel data and control signals that originated at the host. This decoded data can then be applied directly to the flat panel drive circuitry to produce an image on the display. Since the host and display can be separated by distances up to 5 meters or more, serial transmission of the pixel data is preferred (see the T.M.D.S. pixel data and control signal encoding, pixel data and control signal encoding, universal graphics control interface voltage signal levels, and universal graphics controller interface clock inputs sections).

The TFP410 integrates a high-speed digital interface, a T.M.D.S. encoder, and three differential T.M.D.S. drivers. Data is driven to the TFP410 encoder across 12 or 24 data lines, along with differential clock pair and sync signals. The flexibility of the TFP410 allows for multiple clock and data formats that enhance system performance.

The TFP410 also has enhanced PLL noise immunity, an enhancement accomplished with on-chip regulators and bypass capacitors.

The TFP410 is versatile and highly programmable to provide maximum flexibility for the user. An I2C host interface is provided to allow enhanced configurations in addition to power-on default settings programmed by pin-strapping resistors.

General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) is used in embedded electronics field. GPIO devices provide a set of IO ports that can be configured for either input or output, compounded by the resemblance to GP1 and GP0. The GPIO peripheral provides dedicated general-purpose pins that can be configured as either inputs or outputs. When configured as an output, you can write to an internal register to control the state driven on the output pin. When configured as an input, you can detect the state of the input by reading the state of an internal register.

In addition, the GPIO peripheral can produce CPU interrupts and enhanced Direct Memory Access (EDMA) events in different interrupt/event generation modes.

For more GPIO porting and sample code, please refer to the Appendix A.

3 Award BIOS Setup

3.1 Introduction

3.1.1 BIOS Setup program

This motherboard supports a programmable firmware chip that you can update. Use the BIOS Setup program when you are installing a motherboard, reconfiguring your system, or prompted to "Run Setup". This section explains how to configure your system using this utility.

Even if you are not prompted to use the BIOS Setup program, you can change the configuration of your computer in the future. For example, you can enable the security password feature or change the power management settings. This requires you to reconfigure your system using the BIOS Setup program so that the computer can recognize these changes and record them in the CMOS RAM of the SPI chip.

The firmware chip on the motherboard stores the BIOS Setup program. When you start up the computer, the system provides you with the opportunity to run this program. Press <Del> during the Power-On Self-Test (POST) to enter the Setup utility; otherwise, POST continues with its test routines.

If you wish to enter the BIOS Setup program after POST, reboot the system by doing any of the following procedures:

! Restart using the OS standard shut-down procedure. ! Press <Ctrl>+<Alt>+<Del> simultaneously. ! Press the reset button on the system chassis. ! Press the power button to turn the system off then back on.

The BIOS Setup program is designed for ease-of-use. It is a menu-driven program that lets you browse the various submenus and make your selections from the available options using the navigation keys.

Caution! Using the power button, reset button or the <Ctrl>+<Alt>+<Del> keys

to force a reset from a running operating system can cause damage to your data or system. We recommend to always shut-down the system properly from the operating system.

Note! 1. The default BIOS settings for this motherboard apply for most con-

ditions to ensure optimum performance. If the system becomes unstable after changing any BIOS settings, load the default settings to ensure system compatibility and stability. Select the Load Setup Defaults item under the Exit Menu.

2. The BIOS setup screens shown in this section are for reference

purposes only, and may not exactly match what you see on your screen.

3. Save a copy of the original motherboard BIOS file to a bootable

floppy disk or a USB flash disk in case you need to restore the BIOS in the future.

AIMB-221 User Manual 52

3.1.2 CMOS RAM Auto-backup and Restore

The CMOS RAM is powered by an onboard button cell battery. When you finish BIOS setup, the data in CMOS RAM will be automatically backed up to flash memory. If operation in harsh industrial environments causes a soft error, the BIOS will check the data in CMOS RAM and automatically restore the original data from flash memory to CMOS RAM for booting.

Note! To change the CMOS setting without restoring the previous backup,

press "DEL" within two seconds of the "CMOS checksum error..." message appearing and then use the "Setup" screen to modify the configuration. If the "CMOS checksum error..." message appears again and again, please check to see if you need to replace the battery in your system.

Note! ATI SB600 cannot restore system date and time, once the CMOS is

cleared.

A Programming the

Watchdog Timer

The AIMB-221's watchdog timer can be used to monitor system software operation and take corrective action if the software fails to function within the programmed period. This section describes the operation of the watchdog timer and how to program it.

A.1 Watchdog timer overview

The watchdog timer is built in to the super I/O controller W83627HF. It provides the following functions for user programming:

! Can be enabled and disabled by the user's program ! Timer can be set from 1 to 255 seconds or 1 to 255 minutes ! Generates an interrupt or resets signal if the software fails to reset the timer

before time-out

A.2 Reset/Interrupt selection

The J2 jumper is used to select reset or interrupt (IRQ) 11 in the event the watchdog timer is tripped. See Chapter 1 for detailed jumper settings.

Note! The interrupt output of the watchdog timer is a low level signal. It will be

held low until the watchdog timer is reset.

A.3 Programming the Watchdog Timer

The I/O port address of the watchdog timer is 2E (hex) and 2F (hex). 2E (hex) is the address port. 2F (hex) is the data port. You must first write an address value into address port 2E (hex), and then write/read data to/from the assigned register through data port 2F (hex).
