Safety Instructions
Integrated circuits on computer boards are sensitive to static elect ricity. To
avoid damaging chips from electrostatic dischar ge, observe the followin g
precautions:
Do not remove boards or integrated circuits from their anti-static packaging
until you are ready to install them .
Before handling a board or integrated circuit, touch an unpainted portion of
the system unit chassis for a few seco nds. This helps to discharge any static
electricity on your body.
Wear a wrist-grounding strap, available from most electronic component
stores, when handling bo ards and co mponents. Fasten the ALL IGATOR 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-4655 to ensure
harmlessly discharge any static electricity through the strap.
Please use an anti-static pad when putting dow n 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.

General Description
The HS-4655 is a VIA VT8606 chipset-based b oard designed for VIA
Eden 667MHz low power embedded CPU. These features combine
and make the HS-4655 an ideal all-in-one industrial single board
computer. Additional features include an enhanced I/O with CRT/LVDS
Panel, dual LAN, audio, TV-Out, 8 COM, and USB2.0 ports interfaces.
Its onboard ATA/33/66/100 to IDE drive interface architecture allows
the HS-4655 to support data transfers of 33, 66 or 100MB/sec . to one
IDE drive connection. Designed with the VIA VT8606 core logic
chipset, the board supports VIA Eden 66 7MHz low power embedded
CPU. The VIA VT8606 with 32MB shared main memory supporting
CRT/Panel displays.
System memory is also sufficient with the two SO-DIMM sockets that
can support up to 1GB.
Additional onboard connectors inc lude two USB1.1 and two USB2.0
ports providing faster data transmission, and two external RJ-45
connectors for 10/100 Based Ethernet use.

To ensure the reliability in an unmanned or standalone system
, the
Watchdog Timer (WDT) onboard HS-4655 is designed with pure
hardware that does not need the arithmetical functions of a real-time
clock chip. If any program causes unexpected halts to the system, the
onboard Watchdog Timer (WDT) will automatically reset the CPU or
generate an interrupt to resolve such condition.

Unpacking
2.1 Opening the Delivery Package
The HS-4655 is packed in an anti-static bag. The board has
components that are easily damaged by static electricity. Do not
remove the anti-static wrapping until proper precautions have been
taken. Safety Instructions in front of this manual describe anti-static
precautions and procedures.
2.2 Inspection
After unpacking the board, plac e it on a raised surface and carefu lly
inspect the board for any damage that might have occurred during
shipment. Ground the board and exercise extreme care to prevent
damage to the board from static electricity.
Integrated circuits will sometimes come out of their sockets during
shipment. Examine all integrated circuits, particularly the BIOS,
processor, memory modules , R OM -D i sk , and keyboard controller chip
to ensure that they are firmly seated. The HS-4655 delivery package

3.17 System Front Panel Connectors
The HS-4655 has one LED at location JP33 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
There are three access cycles of Watchdo g Timer as Enab le, 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 reque sted before
the time-out period. This restar ts counting of the WDT period. Wh en
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 JP31 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 peri od setting c omes to an en d ever y
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.

AMI BIOS Setup
The HS-4655 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 switchin g th e 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

4.2 Using Setup
In general, you use the arrow keys to highlight items, press <Enter> to
select, use the <PageUp> and <Page Down> keys to chang e entries,
and press <Esc> to quit. The following table provides more detail about
how to navigate in the Setup program using the keyboard.

4.6 Advanced Chipset Setup
This section allows you to configure the system based on the specific
features of the installed ch ipset. This chipset m anages bus speeds an d
the access to the system memory resources, such as DRAM and the
external cache. It also coordinates the communications between the
conventional ISA and PCI buses. It must be stated that these items
should never be altered. The default settings have been chosen
because they provide the best oper ating conditions for your system.
You might consider and make any changes only if you discover that the
data has been lost while using your system.

4.8 PCI / Plug and Play Setup
This section describes configuring the PCI bus system. PCI, or
Personal Computer Interconnect, is a system that allows I/O devices to
operate at speeds nearing the speed the CPU itself uses when
communicating with its own special components. This section covers
some very technical items and it is strongly recomme nded that only
experienced users should make any changes to the default settings.

The IDE hard drive controllers can s upport 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. Rath er than having the BIOS
issue a series of command s 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).

This option detects the parameters of an IDE hard disk drive, and
automatically enters them into the Standard CMOS Setup screen.
Up to four IDE drives can be detected, with parameters for each
appearing in sequence inside a box. To acce pt the displayed entries,
press the “Y” key; to skip to the ne xt drive, press the “N” key. If you
accept the values, the parameters will appear listed beside the drive
