stores, when handling boards and components. Fasten the ALLIGATOR clip
of the strap to the end of the shielded wire lead from a grounded object.
Please wear and connect the strap before handle the HS-2605 to ensure
harmlessly discharge any static electricity through the strap.
Please use an anti-static pad when putting down any components or parts or
tools outside the computer. You may also use an anti-static bag instead of
the pad. Please inquire from your local supplier for additional assistance in
finding the necessary anti-static gadgets.
NOTE:
DO NOT TOUCH THE BOARD OR ANY OTHER SENSITIVE
COMPONENTS WITHOUT ALL NECESSARY ANTI-STATIC
PROTECTIONS.

3.18 System Front Panel Connectors
The HS-2605 has one LED at location JP3 that indicates the power-on
status. This visual feature of the IDE LED may also be connected to an
external IDE LED, Speaker, Reset Switch, Power LED, EXT SMI,
Power Button, and SLP Button via connector JP3(13-15), JP3(1-3-5-7),
JP3(9-11), JP3(2-4), JP3(6-8), JP3(10-12), JP3(14-16).
There are three access cycles of Watch-Dog Timer as Enable, Refresh
and Disable. The Enable cycle proceeds via READ PORT 443H
whereas the Disable cycle proceeds via READ PORT 045H. A
continued Enable cycle after a first Enable cycle means Refresh.
Once the Enable cycle is active, a Refresh cycle is requested before
the time-out period. This restarts counting of the WDT period. When
the time counting goes over the preset period of WDT, it will assume
that the program operation is abnormal. A System Reset signal to
re-start or a NMI cycle to the CPU transpires when such error happens.
Jumper JP1 is used to select the function of Watchdog Timer.

The Watchdog Timer is disabled after the system Power-On. It can be
enabled via an Enable cycle and reading the control port (443H), or via
a Refresh cycle and reading the control port (443H), or via a Disable
cycle and reading the disable control port (045H).
After an Enable cycle of WDT, user must immediately execute a
Refresh cycle to WDT before its period setting comes to an end every
1, 2, 10, 20, 110 or 220 seconds. If the Refresh cycle does not activate
before WDT period cycle, the onboard WDT architecture will issue a
Reset or NMI cycle to the system. There are three I/O ports that control
the Watchdog Timer.
443H I/O Read The Enable cycle

AMI BIOS Setup
The HS-2605 uses AMI BIOS for the system configuration. The AMI
BIOS setup program is designed to provide the maximum flexibility in
configuring the system by offering various options that could be
selected for end-user requirements. This chapter is written to assist
you in the proper usage of these features.
4.1 Starting Setup
The AMI BIOS 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:
1. By pressing <Del> immediately after switching the system on, or
2. 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 be asked to...
PRESS F1 TO CONTINUE, DEL TO ENTER SETUP

4.9 Peripheral Setup
The IDE hard drive controllers can support up to two separate hard
drives. These drives have a master/slave relationship that is
determined by the cabling configuration used to attach them to the
controller. Your system supports two IDE controllers--a primary and a
secondary--so you can install up to four separate hard disks.
PIO means Programmed Input/Output. Rather than having the BIOS
issue a series of commands to affect the transfer to or from the disk
drive, PIO allows the BIOS to tell the controller what it wants and then
let the controller and the CPU perform the complete task by them. This
is much simpler and more efficient (also faster).
