Safety Precautions
Before getting started, read the following important cautions.
1. Be sure to ground yourself to prevent static charge when
installing the internal components. Use a grounding wrist strap
and place all electronic components in any static-shielded
devices. Most electronic components are sensitive to static
electrical charge.
2. Disconnect the power cords from the NA-814 before making any
installation. Be sure both the system and the external devices are
turned OFF. Sudden surge of power could ruin sensitive
components. Make sure the NA-814 is properly grounded.
3. Do not open the system’s top cover. If opening the cover for
maintenance is a must, only a trained technician is allowed to do
so. Integrated circuits on computer boards are sensitive to static
electricity. To avoid damaging chips from electrostatic discharge,
observe the following precautions:
9 Before handling a board or integrated circuit, touch an
unpainted portion of the system unit chassis for a few
seconds. This will help to discharge any static electricity on
your body.
9 When handling boards and components, wear a
wrist-grounding strap, available from most electronic
component stores.

2. Data transfer format
A) command：
0D hex：PC Æ AX89063
It moves the cursor to the entry point (on left upper corner of
LCM)。
Attention：
It is just move the RAM flag to point out into the entry point of
LCM. It needs to be progress this commands about 40μs。
If we need to clear the contents in show up, it needs to be
progress this commands about 1.6ms。
The transfer rate should be 1.15msec per byte if we use baud
rate as 9600. So the time interval should be 0.5msec for next
commands initialization 。
22
B) data：PC Æ AX89063
The showing data total length should be 80 Bytes of LCM,
supposedly.。But, it is only can display 1 to 16 words and 41 to 56
words。
If would like to show the words with two rows of LCM, the PC
need to send the 80 bytes totally。
The each character will be fill in into the RAM of LCM which it
was initialized through the console port。
For example：
Installation Procedures
Page 29
NA-814 Hardware Installation Guide
The PC sends following string to LCM which is totally 80
characters
String =
Welcome>>AX89063************************Test>Program>>>>****
********************
LCM will display strings as following,
Welcome>>AX89063 Test>Program>>>>
As for the ‘*’ character, therefore it doesn’t show off in the LCM.
But it will be stored in the RAM of LCM。
C) Keypad data：AX89063 Æ PC
a) ▲ ( Up )：when it was press then release，the LCM will
send 55hex to PC，It is ASCII code for ’U’。
b) ▼ ( Down )：when it was press then release，the LCM will
send 44hex to PC，it is ASCII code for ’D’。
c) ESC：when it was press then release, the LCM will send
4Chex to PC，it is ASCII code for ’L’。
d) Enter：when it was press then release, the LCM will send
52hex to PC，it is ASCII code for ’R’。
3. Fronts table of LCM：( as following figure )
The front type display is following internal front table of LCM，the ASCII

Award BIOS Utility
Chapter 3 describes the different settings available in the Award BIOS that
comes with the SBC8A814. Also contained here are instructions on how to
set up the BIOS configuration.
3.1 BIOS Introduction
The Award BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) installed in your computer
system’s ROM supports Intel Celeron processors in a standard IBM-AT
compatible I/O system. The BIOS provides critical low-l evel support for
standard devices such as disk drives, serial and parallel ports. It also adds
virus and 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 are a little bit late pressing 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 pre ssing 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:
24
Award BIOS Utility

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.
The section below the setup items of the Main Menu displays the control
keys for this menu. Another section located at the bottom of the Main Menu,
just below the control keys section, displays information on the currently
highlighted item in the list.
NOTE: If you find that your computer cannot boot after making and saving
system changes with Setup, the A ward BIOS, via it s built-in override
feature, resets your system to the CMOS default settings.
Award BIOS Utility
25
Page 32
SBC8A814 Hardware Installation Guide
We strongly recommend that you avoid making any changes to the chipset
defaults. These defaults have been carefully chosen by both Award and your
system manufacturer to provide the absolute maximum performance and
reliability.
3.3 Standard CMOS Setup
“Standard CMOS Setup” allows you to record some basic hardware
configurations in your computer system and set the system clock and error
handling. If the motherboard 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, the
onboard battery fails, or the configuration stored in the CMOS memory was
lost or damaged.
