Product Warranty
Aualue warrants to you, the original purchaser, that each of its products will be free from
defects in materials and workmanship for two years from the date of purchase.
This warranty does not apply to any products which have been repaired or altered by
persons other than repair personnel authorized by Aualue, or which have been subject to
misuse, abuse, accident or improper installation. Aualue assumes no liability under the
terms of this warranty as a consequence of such events. Because of Aualue’s high
quality-control standards and rigorous testing, most of our customers never need to use our

1. Collect all the information about the problem encountered. (For example, CPU type and
speed, Aualue’s products model name, hardware & BIOS revision number, other
hardware and software used, etc.) Note anything abnormal and list any on-screen
messages you get when the problem occurs.
2. Call your dealer and describe the problem. Please have your manual, product, and any
helpful information available.
3. If your product is diagnosed as defective, obtain an RMA (return material authorization)
number from your dealer. This allows us to process your good return more quickly.
4. Carefully pack the defective product, a complete Repair and Replacement Order Card
and a photocopy proof of purchase date (such as your sales receipt) in a shippable
container. A product returned without proof of the purchase date is not eligible for

1. Getting Started
1.1 Safety Precautions
Warning!
Always completely disconnect the power cord from your
chassis whenever 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 CPU card. 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 in a static-dissipative surface or static-shielded
bag when they are not in the chassis.

1.4 Manual Objectives
This manual describes in detail the Aualue Technology ECM-LX800 Single Board.
We have tried to include as much information as possible but we have not duplicated
information that is provided in the standard IBM Technical References, unless it proved to
be necessary to aid in the understanding of this board.
We strongly recommend that you study this manual carefully before attempting to interface
with ECM-LX800 series or change the standard configurations. Whilst all the necessary
information is available in this manual we would recommend that unless you are confident,
you contact your supplier for guidance.
Please be aware that it is possible to create configurations within the CMOS RAM that
make booting impossible. If this should happen, clear the CMOS settings, (see the
description of the Jumper Settings for details).
If you have any suggestions or find any errors concerning this manual and want to inform
us of these, please contact our Customer Service department with the relevant details.

2.3 Jumper and Connector List
You can configure your board to match the needs of your application by setting jumpers. A
jumper is the simplest kind of electric switch.
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” a jumper you connect the pins with the clip.
To “open” a jumper you remove the clip. Sometimes a jumper will have three pins, labeled 1,
2, and 3. In this case, you would connect either two pins.
The jumper settings are schematically depicted in this manual as follows:
A pair of needle-nose pliers may be helpful when working with jumpers.
Connectors on the board are linked to external devices such as hard disk drives, a
keyboard, or floppy drives. In addition, the board has a number of jumpers that allow you to
configure your system to suit your application.
If you have any doubts about the best hardware configuration for your application, contact
your local distributor or sales representative before you make any changes.
The following tables list the function of each of the board's jumpers and connectors.

ECM-LX800 User’s Manual

ECM-LX800
3.1 Starting Setup
The AwardBIOS™ is immediately activated when you first power on the computer. The
BIOS reads the system information contained in the CMOS and begins the process of
checking out the system and configuring it. When it finishes, the BIOS will seek an
operating system on one of the disks and then launch and turn control over to the operating
system.
While the BIOS is in control, the Setup program can be activated in one of two ways:
By pressing <Del> immediately after switching the system on, or
By pressing the <Del> key when the following message appears briefly at the bottom of the
screen during the POST (Power On Self Test).
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

3.3 Getting Help
Press F1 to pop up a small help window that describes the appropriate keys to use and the
possible selections for the highlighted item. To exit the Help Window press <Esc> or the F1
key again.
3.4 In Case of Problems
If, after making and saving system changes with Setup, you discover that your computer no
longer is able to boot, the AwardBIOS™ supports an override to the CMOS settings which
resets your system to its defaults.
The best advice is to only alter settings which you thoroughly understand. To this end, we
strongly recommend that you avoid making any changes to the chipset defaults. These
defaults have been carefully chosen by both Award and your systems manufacturer to
provide the absolute maximum performance and reliability. Even a seemingly small change
to the chipset setup has the potential for causing you to use the override.

3.5 Main Menu
Once you enter the AwardBIOS™ CMOS Setup Utility, the Main Menu will appear on the
screen. The Main Menu allows you to select from several setup functions and two exit
choices. Use the arrow keys to select among the items and press <Enter> to accept and
enter the sub-menu.
Note that a brief description of each highlighted selection appears at the bottom of the

3.5.3 Advanced Chipset Features
This section allows you to configure the system based on the specific features of the
installed chipset. This chipset manages bus speeds and access to system memory
resources, such as DRAM and the external cache. It also coordinates communications
between the conventional ISA bus and the PCI bus. It must be stated that these items
should never need to be altered. The default settings have been chosen because they
provide the best operating conditions for your system. The only time you might consider
making any changes would be if you discovered that data was being lost while using your
system.
The first chipset settings deal with CPU access to dynamic random access memory
(DRAM). The default timings have been carefully chosen and should only be altered if data
is being lost. Such a scenario might well occur if your system had mixed speed DRAM
chips installed so that greater delays may be required to preserve the integrity of the data
held in the slower memory chips.

Realtek RTL8101L Ethernet Controller
The Realtek RTL8101L is a single-chip Fast Ethernet controller that provides 32-bit
performance, PCI bus master capability, and full compliance with IEEE 802.3u 100Base-TX
specifications and IEEE 802.3x Full Duplex Flow Control. It also supports the Advanced
Configuration Power management Interface (ACPI), PCI power management for modern
operating systems that are capable of Operating System Directed Power Management
(OSPM) to achieve the most efficient power management possible. The RTL8101L no
longer supports CardBus mode as RTL8139C does.
In addition to the ACPI feature, the RTL8101L also supports remote wake-up (including
AMD Magic Packet, LinkChg, and Microsoft® wake-up frame) in both ACPI and APM
environments. The RTL8101L is capable of performing an internal reset through the
application of auxiliary power. When auxiliary power is applied and the main power remains
off, the RTL8101L is ready and waiting for the Magic Packet or Link Change to wake the
system up. Also, the LWAKE pin provides 4 different output signals including active high,
active low, positive pulse, and negative pulse. The versatility of the RTL8101L LWAKE pin
provides motherboards with Wake-On-LAN (WOL) functionality.
The RTL8101L also supports Analog Auto-Power-down, that is, the analog part of the
RTL8101L can be shut down temporarily according to user requirements or when the
RTL8101L is in a power down state with the wakeup function disabled. In addition, when
the analog part is shut down and the IsolateB pin is low (i.e. the main power is off), then
both the analog and digital parts stop functioning and the power consumption of the
RTL8101L will be negligible. The RTL8101L also supports an auxiliary power auto-detect
function, and will auto-configure related bits of their own PCI power management registers
in PCI configuration space.
ECM-LX800 User’s Manual
83
ECM-LX800
PCI Vital Product Data (VPD) is also supported to provide the information that uniquely
identifies hardware (i.e., the OEM brand name of RTL8101L LAN card). The information
may consist of part number, serial number, and other detailed information.
To provide cost down support, the RTL8101L is capable of using a 25MHz crystal or OSC
as its internal clock source. The RTL8101L keeps network maintenance costs low and
eliminates usage barriers. It is the easiest way to upgrade a network from 10 to 100Mbps. It
also supports full-duplex operation, making 200Mbps bandwidth possible at no additional
cost. To improve compatibility with other brands’ products, the RTL8101L is also capable of
receiving packets with InterFrameGap no less than 40 Bit-Time. The RTL8101L is highly
integrated and requires no “glue” logic or external memory.
The RTL8101L includes a PCI and Expansion Memory Share Interface (Realtek patent) for

Overview
During the Power On Self-Test (POST), if the BIOS detects an error requiring you to do
something to fix, it will either sound a beep code or display a message.
If a message is displayed, it will be accompanied by:
PRESS F1 TO CONTINUE OR PRESS DEL TO ENTER SETUP
Post Beep
Currently there are two kinds of beep codes in BIOS. This code indicates that a video error
has occurred and the BIOS cannot initialize the video screen to display any additional
information. This beep code consists of a single long beep followed by two short beeps.
The other code indicates that your DRAM error has occurred. This beep code consists of a
single long beep repeatedly.
Error Messages
The following messages are examples of messages including errors detected by the BIOS
during POST and a description of what they mean and/or what you may do to correct the
error.
1. CMOS BATTERY HAS FAILED
CMOS battery is no longer functional. It should be replaced.
2. CMOS CHECKSUM ERROR
Checksum of CMOS is incorrect. This can indicate that CMOS has become corrupt. This
error may have been caused by a weak battery. Check the battery and replace if
necessary.
3. DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER
No boot device was found. This could mean that either a boot drive was not detected or the
drive does not contain proper system boot files. Insert a system disk into Drive A: and
press <Enter>. If you assumed the system would boot from the hard drive, make sure the
controller is inserted correctly and all cables are properly attached. Also be sure the disk
is formatted as a boot device. Then reboot the system.
4. DISKET TE DRIVES OR TYPES MISMATCH ERROR - RUN SETUP
Type of diskette drive installed in the system is different from the CMOS definition. Run
Setup to reconfigure the drive type correctly.
ECM-LX800 User’s Manual
87
ECM-LX800
5. DISPLAY SWITCH IS SET INCORRECTLY
Display switch on the motherboard can be set to either monochrome or color. This indicates
the switch is set to a different setting than indicated in Setup. Determine which setting is
correct, and then either turn off the system and change the jumper, or enter Setup and
change the VIDEO selection.
6. DISPLAY TYPE HAS CHANGE D SINCE L AST BOOT
Since last powering off the system, the display adapter has been changed. You must
configure the system for the new display type.
7. EISA Configuration Checksum Error
PLEASE RUN EISA CONFIGURATION UTILITY
The EISA non-volatile RAM checksum is incorrect or cannot correctly read the EISA slot.
This can indicate either the EISA non-volatile memory has become corrupt or the slot has
been configured incorrectly. Also be sure the card is installed firmly in the slot.
8. EISA Configuration Is Not Complete
PLEASE RUN EISA CONFIGURATION UTILITY
The slot configuration information stored in the EISA non-volatile memory is incomplete.
Note: When either of these errors appears, the system will boot in ISA mode,
which allows you to run the EISA Configuration Utility.
9. ERROR E NCOUNTERED INITIALIZING HARD DRIVE
Hard drive cannot be initialized. Be sure the adapter is installed correctly and all cables are
correctly and firmly attached. Also be sure the correct hard drive type is selected in Setup.
10. ERROR INITIALIZING HARD DISK CONTROLLER
Cannot initialize controller. Make sure the cord is correctly and firmly installed in the bus.
Be sure the correct hard drive type is selected in Setup. Also check to see if any jumper
needs to be set correctly on the hard drive.
11. FLOPPY DISK CNTRLR ERROR OR NO CNTRLR PRESENT
Cannot find or initialize the floppy drive controller. Make sure the controller is installed
correctly and firmly. If there are no floppy drives installed, be sure the Diskette Drive
selection in Setup is set to NONE.
