Chapter 3. BIOS Setup

The ROM chip of your CB-6970 board is configured with a customized Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) from Phoenix-Award BIOS. The BIOS is a set of permanently recorded program routines that give the system its fundamental operational characteristics. It also tests the computer and determines how the computer reacts to instructions that are part of programs.

The BIOS is made up of code and programs that provide the device-level control for the major I/O devices in the system. It contains a set of routines (called POST, for Power-On Self Test) that check out the system when you turn it on. The BIOS also includes CMOS Setup program, so no disk-based setup program is required CMOS RAM stores information for:

z Date and time z Memory capacity of the main board z Type of display adapter installed z Number and type of disk drives

The CMOS memory is maintained by battery installed on the CB-6970 board. By using the battery, all memory in CMOS can be retained when the system power switch is turned off. The system BIOS also supports easy way to reload the CMOS data when you replace the battery of the battery power lose.

3.1 Quick Setup

In most cases, you can quickly configure the system by choosing the following main menu options:

1. Choose “Load Optimized Defaults” from the main menu. This loads the setup default values from the BIOS Features Setup and Chipset Features Setup screens.

2. Choose “Standard COS Features” from the main menu. This option lets you configure the date and time, hard disk type, floppy disk drive type, primary display and more.

3. In the main menu, press F10 (“Save & Exit Setup”) to save your changes and reboot the system.

16

User’s Manual

3.2 Entering the CMOS Setup Program

Use the CMOS Setup program to modify the system parameters to reflect the options installed in your system and to customize your system. For example, you should run the Setup program after you:

z Received an error code at startup z Install another disk drive z Use your system after not having used it for a long time z Find the original setup missing z Replace the battery z Change to a different type of CPU z Run the Phoenix-Award Flash program to update the system BIOS

Run the CMOS Setup program after you turn on the system. On-screen instructions explain how to use the program.

Enter the CMOS Setup program’s main menu as follows:

1. Turn on or reboot the system. After the BIOS performs a series of diagnostic checks, the following message appears: “Press DEL to enter SETUP”

2. Press the <DEL> key to enter CMOS Setup program. The main menu appears:

17

User’s Manual

3. Choose a setup option with the arrow keys and press <Enter>. See the

following sections for a brief description of each setup option.

In the main menu, press F10 (“Save & Exit Setup) to save your changes and reboot the system. Choosing “EXIT WITHOUT SAVING” ignores your changes and exits the program. Pressing <ESC> anywhere in the program returns you to the main menu.

3.3 Menu Options

The main menu options of the CMOS Setup program are described in the following and the following sections of this chapter.

STANDARD CMOS FEATURES: Configure the date & time, hard disk drive type, floppy disk drive type, primary display type and more

ADVANCED BIOS FEATURES: Configure advanced system options such as enabling/disabling cache memory and shadow RAM

ADVANCED CHIPSET FEATURES: Configure advanced chipset register options such DRAM timing

INTEGRATED PERIPHERALS: Configure onboard I/O functions

POWER MANAGEMENT SETUP: Configure power management features such as timer selects

When you log in with this password, you will be able to enter the CMOS Setup main menu, but you can not enter other menus in the CMOS Setup program.

SAVE & EXIT SETUP: Save changes of values to CMOS and exit the CMOS setup program

EXIT WITHOUT SAVING: Abandon all CMOS changes and exit the CMOS setup program

Appendix A: Programming the Watchdog Timer

The CB-6970 provides a watchdog timer that resets the CPU or generates an interrupt if processing comes to a stop. This function ensures greater system reliability in industrial stand-alone and unmanned environments.

In order to enable the watchdog timer, you have to output the value of the watchdog timer interval to the controller. The value range is from 01H to FFH, and the related time watchdog timer interval is 1 sec to 255 sec.

Data Timer interval

00 Disabled 01 1 sec 02 2 sec * * * * FF 255 sec

If you want to disable the watchdog timer, just set the timer interval value to 00H.

After setting the timer interval value, the watchdog timer begins to count down. You have to refresh the watchdog timer, so that the watchdog timer will return to its initial value; otherwise, your system will reset after a time-out. The following program shows how to set the watchdog timer:

User’s Manual

MOV DX,2FH MOV AL,XXH ; Timer interval *** see note *** OUT DX,AL MOV DX,2EH MOV AL,AAH OUT DX,AL

Note: This XX value range is from 01H to FFH, and the related watchdog timer interval is 1 sec. to 255 sec. (as in the previous description).

Using the Demo Program

Update the System BIOS as follows:

1. Run Program 1

2. Run Program 2 (load the timer interval of 1EH, 30 seconds)

3. Run your Application Program #1 (Be sure your Application Program will finish

within 30 seconds)

4. Run Program 1

5. Run Program 2 (change the timer interval value to 3CH, 60 seconds)

6. Run your Application Program#2 (Be sure your Application Program will be finished

within 60 seconds)

7. Run Program 1

8. Run Program 2 (reload the timer interval value of 3CH, 60 seconds)

9. Run Program 1 Run Program 3 (Load the timer interval of 00H, and disable the watchdog timer function)
