Chapter 2

Hardware Configuration

efore you install the 356/357 ISA main board into the

system chassis, you may find it convenient to first

configure the mainboard's hardware. This chapter describes how to install a math coprocessor and memory modules, and where to attach components.

Power Precautions

Before you begin configuration, make sure you are working

with an unplugged main board. ,Many components are

powered by low-voltage current, but there still may be a dangerous electric current coming from the leads and power supply. You should take the following precautions:

• Turn off the mainboard, and unplug the power cord before you begin

• Unplug all cables that connect the mainboard to any external devices.

Notes:

For the 357 mainboard, the factory default setting has a jumper cap on pins 2 and 3 for an installed rechargeable battery. When you install an external battery, remove this jumper cap and then plug the external battery connector in J3. Disconnect the

Internal battery with a soldering iron.

2. For the 357 mainboard, discharge CMOS memory by taking the connector cable off of pins 2 and 3, and attaching it to pins 3 and 4.

3. For the 356 mainboard the CMOS discharge function is controlled by jumper JP2. See jumper JP2 on page

Memory Installation

The main board lets you add system memory via SIMM sockets on the main board. On-board memory is iocated in two banks: Bank 0 and Bank 1. Four SIMM sockets are provided in each bank. You can install either a 256K, 1M, or 4M SIMM in each socket. Note that all SIMM modules in a bank must be the same capacity.

The main board supports the following configurations:

Chapter 3

BIOS Setup

his chapter explains how to configure the mainboard's

BIOS setup program. The mainboard has either the

AMI

chapter, or the part of this chapter.

After you have configured the main board, and have

BIOS, which

assembled the components, you can turn on the completed system. At this point, run the software setup to ensure that the system information is correct.

The software setup of the system board is achieved through Basic Input-Output System (BIOS) programming. You use the

BIOS setup program to tell the operating system what type of devices are connected to your system board.

The system setup is also called CMOS setup. Normally, you need to run system setup if either the hardware is not identical with information contained in the CMOS RAM, or if the CMOS RAM has lost power.

BIOS, which is explained in the latter

To use the BIOS defaults, change the prompt to "Y" and press <Enter>. The following message appears:

"Default values loaded. Press any key to con tinue."

CONFIGURATION WITH POWER-ON DEFAULTS

Use this option as a diagnostic aid if your system behaves erratically. Choose this item and the following message appears:

This Main Menu item lets you configure the system so that a password is required every time the system boots or an attempt is made to enter the Setup program. The password cannot be longer than 8 characters.

To use this option, check that the "Password Checking

Option" in the Advanced CMOS Setup is enabled.

Important: Keep a safe record of the new password. If you forget or lose the password, the only way to access the system is to discharge CMOS memory using connector J3 on the 357 ISA main board, or jumper JP2 on the 356 ISA main board , and then using the default password <AMI>.

This Main Menu item gives you three options for analyzing and formatting a hard disk. The three options are:

• Hard Disk Format - performs a "low level" format of the hard disk. Check with the hard drive

manufacturer to see if this option is required.

Auto Interleave - determines optimum interleave

•

factor before formatting the hard disk.

Media Analysis - analyzes each track of the hard drive .

•

Marks unusable tracks as "bad" to prevent future data storage on those tracks.

WARNING!

Performing anyone of these options destroys all data

on the hard disk. You must back-up the hard disk before performing any of these tests.

Error Codes

Appendix B

AMI BIOS Error Codes

This appendix describes the AMI BIOS POST Error Codes.

Every time you power on the system, the POST (Power On Self Test) diagnostic routines check to make sure your system is running properly. During boot-up, the POST communicate errors to you as either a series of beeps, or as messages on the display screen.

Fatal errors do not let the system complete boot-up, and are usually signaled as a series of beeps, since your display may not come on. Non-fatal errors allow boot-up to continue, and

error messages appear on the screen.

BEEP ERROR CODES

These codes are emitted as a series of audible beeps. Error Codes, except for number 8, are fatal errors. If your system does not boot-up and starts beeping, write down the

number of beeps you hear and consult an authorized repair

person.
