1.2 About this User's Manual
This User's Manual is intended for experienced users and integrators with
hardware knowledge of personal computers. If you are not sure about any
description in this User's Manual, please consult your vendor before further
handling.
1.3 Warning
Single Board Computers and their components contain very delicate
Integrated Circuits (IC). To protect the Single Board Computer and its
components against damage from static electricity, you should always follow
the following precautions when handling it :
1 Disconnect your Single Board Computer from the power source when
you want to work on the inside
2 Hold the board by the edges and try not to touch the IC chips, leads or
circuitry
3 Use a grounded wrist strap when handling computer components.
4 Place components on a grounded antistatic pad or on the bag that came
with the Single Board Computer, whenever components are separated from
the system

The onboard COM2 port can be configured to operate in RS-422 or RS-485
modes. RS-422 modes differ in the way RX/TX is being handled. Jumper
JRS1 switches between RS-232 or RS-422/485 mode. When JRS1 is set to
RS-422 or 485 mode, there will be only +12V output left while JRS1 is set. All
of the RS232/422/485 modes are available on COM2.

3.1 BIOS Introduction
The Award BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) installed in your computer
system's. The BIOS provides for a standard device such as disk drives, serial
ports and parallel ports. It also adds password protection as well as special
support for detailed fine-tuning of the chipset controlling the entire system.
3.2 BIOS Setup
The Award BIOS provides a Setup utility program for specifying the system
configurations and settings. The BIOS ROM of the system stores the Setup
utility. When you turn on the computer, the Award BIOS is immediately
activated. Pressing the <Del> key immediately allows you to enter the Setup
utility. If you a little bit late press the <Del> key, POST (Power On Self Test)
will continue with its test routines, thus preventing you from invoking the
Setup. If you still wish to enter Setup, restart the system by pressing the
"Reset" button or simultaneously pressing the <Ctrl>, <Alt> and <Delete>
keys. You can also restart by turning the system Off and back On again. The
following message will appear on the screen:
Press <DEL> to Enter Setup
In general, you press the arrow keys to highlight items, <Enter> to select, the
<PgUp> and <PgDn> keys to change entries, <F1> for help and <Esc> to
quit. When you enter the Setup utility, the Main Menu screen will appear on
the screen. The Main Menu allows you to select from various setup functions
and exit choices.

3.3 Standard CMOS Features
"Standard CMOS Features" allows you to record some basic hardware
configurations in your computer system and set the system clock and error
handling. If the CPU card is already installed in a working system, you will
not need to select this option. You will need to run the Standard CMOS
option, however, if you change your system hardware configurations, such
as onboard battery fails, or the configuration stored in the CMOS memory
was lost or damaged.
Date
The date format is Day : Sun to Sat
:
Month : 1 to 12
Date : 1 to 31
Year : 1999 to 2099
Time
The time format is Hour : 00 to 23

Second : 00 to 59
To set the date & time, highlight the "Date" & "Time" and use the <PgUp>/

IRQ Wakeup Events
The HDD, FDD, COM, LPT Ports, and PCI PIRQ are I/O events that can
prevent the system from entering a power saving mode or can awaken the
system from such a mode. When an I/O device wants to gain the attention
of the operating system, it signals this by causing an IRQ to occur. When the
operating system is ready to respond to the request, it interrupts itself and
performs the service.
