Product Warranty

Avalue 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 Avalue, or which have been subject to
misuse, abuse, accident or improper installation. Avalue assumes no liability under the
terms of this warranty as a consequence of such events. Because of Avalue high
quality-control standards and rigorous testing, most of our customers never need to use our
repair service. If any of Avalue products is defective, it will be repaired or replaced at no
charge during the warranty period. For out-of-warranty repairs, you will be billed according
to the cost of replacement materials, service time, and freight. Please consult your dealer
for more details. If you think you have a defective product, follow these steps:

1. Collect all the information about the problem encountered. (For example, CPU type and

speed, Avalue 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
warranty service.

5. Write the RMA number visibly on the outside of the package and ship it prepaid to your

dealer.

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 details Avalue Technology ECM-LX800W 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 set up
ECM-LX800W 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 regarding this manual and want to inform us
of these, please contact our Customer Service department with the relevant details.

 Locate the DIMM socket on the board.
 Hold two edges of the DIMM module carefully. Keep away of touching its connectors.
 Align the notch key on the module with the rib on the slot.
 Firmly press the modules into the socket automatically snaps into the mounting notch.

Do not force the DIMM module in with extra force as the DIMM module only fit in one
direction.

 To remove the DIMM modules, push the two ejector tabs on the slot outward

simultaneously, and then pull out the DIMM module.

Note:

(1) Please do not change any DDR SDRAM parameter in BIOS setup to increase

your system‘s performance without acquiring technical information in advance.

(2) Static electricity can damage the electronic components of the computer or

optional boards. Before starting these procedures, ensure that you are
discharged of static electricity by touching a grounded metal object briefly.

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.

User’s Manual

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

3.2 Using Setup

In general, you use the arrow keys to highlight items, press <Enter> to select, use the
PageUp and PageDown keys to change entries, press <F1> for help and press <Esc> to
quit. The following table provides more detail about how to navigate in the Setup program
using the keyboard.

 Navigating Through The Menu Bar

Use the left and right arrow keys to choose the menu you want to be in.

Note: Some of the navigation keys differ from one screen to another.

 To Display a Sub Menu

Use the arrow keys to move the cursor to the sub menu you want. Then press
<Enter>. A ―‖ pointer marks all sub menus.

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
screen.

Note: The BIOS setup screens shown in this chapter are for reference purposes

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.

— Ethernet
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-LX800W Series User‘s Manual 87

ECM-LX800W Series

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
a boot ROM and can be used in diskless workstations, providing maximum network security
and ease of management.
— ITE IT8888 PCI to ISA Bridge
The IT8888F/G is a PCI to ISA bridge single function device. The IT8888F/G serves as a
bridge between the PCI bus and ISA bus. The IT8888F/G‘s 32-bit PCI bus interface is
compliant with PCI Specification V2.1 and supports both PCI Bus Master & Slave. The PCI
interface supports both programmable positive and full subtractive decoding schemes.
The IT8888F/G also integrates two enhanced DMA Slave controllers for achieving PCI
DMA cycles: PC/PCI DMA Slave Controller & Distributed DMA Slave Controllers.
The device also contains one SM bus (single master mode) which can be connected to a
Serial E2PROM for automatic power-on configuration. ITE‘s proprietary (USA & Taiwan
patent pending) power-on auto-configuration through SM bus can provide customer with
maximum design flexibility. The IT8888F/G also implements the optional fast positive
decode of F, E, D, C memory segments. This special feature can provide a direct
connection to an FALSH boot ROM.
The NOGO function, which is also implemented in the IT8888F/G for enabling or disabling
subtractive decode of PCI interface could be a software controlled output pin from other
host controlled devices. The Serial IRQ is also implemented in the device for sending and
receiving ISA IRQs & IOCHCK#. The device includes an ISA interface which supports full
ISA compatible functions.
