General Information
The NuPRO-630 is a bus-100MHz ALi® BX-Level chipset design PICMG bus
Pentium®II Industrial Single Board (I.S.B.) CPU card with features combine together
to make it an ideal all-in-one industrial single board computer, enhanced I/O effects
with VGA interface on-board.
The NuPRO-630 also provides one set of PC/104 bus for 8/16-bit industrial
application with based on PC/104 standard bus.
With onboard DMA33 of mode 4 to IDE drive interface architecture, the NuPRO -630
supports with maximum 33.3 MB/sec in data transfer rating to 4 pieces IDE drive
connection. Design with ALi™ M1621 BX-Level core logic chipset supports all series
Pentium®II operating at 233MHz, 266MHz, 300MHz, 333MHz, 400MHz and
450MHz. The on-board S3® 86C375 VGA chipset supports up to 1280 x 1024 256
colors display resolution. And it also provides one extra 10-pin connector for
internal VGA connection.
The advanced PICMG bus add-on connection of NuPRO-630 allows user could easily
obtain both ISA's 16-bit and PCI's 32-bit full set signals from a full size PICMG slot for
suitable plug into system with 8/16/32-bit ISA and-or PCI slots operating. The
NuPRO-630 provides with three pieces 168-pin DIMM sockets support up to
1.5GBytes of main system memory.
A single Flash chip holds the system BIOS, and you can easy update the Flash BIOS by
the Utility Update. Advanced USB and IR ports also provide for faster and easily in data
transmission. You can also use the DOS version of the "DiskOnChip" socket by
issuing commands from the DOS prompt without the necessity of other software
supports up to 72MB.
If a non-expect program cause halts, the onboard watchdog timer will automatically
reset the CPU or generate an interrupt. The watchdog is designed with hardware only
and doesn’t need any arithmetical functions of a real -time clock chip. This ensures the
reliability in an unmanned or standalone system.

2.12 Watch -Dog Timer
There are three access cycles of Watch-Dog Timer as Enable, Refresh and Disable.
The Enable cycle should proceed by READ PORT 443H. The Disable cycle
should proceed by READ PORT 043H. A continue Enable cycle after a first
Enable cycle means Refresh.
Once if the Enable cycle activity, a Refresh cycle is request before the time-out
period for restart counting the WDT Timer's period. Otherwise, it will assume
that the program operation is abnormal when the time counting over the period
preset of WDT Timer. A System Reset signal to start again or a NMI cycle to the
CPU comes if over.
The JP5 is using for select the active function of watch-dog timer in disable the
watch-dog timer, or presetting the watch-dog timer activity at the reset trigger, or
presetting the watch-dog timer activity at the NMI trigger.

The Watch-dog timer is disabled after the system Power-On. The watch -dog
timer can be enabled by a Enable cycle with reading the control port (443H), a
Refresh cycle with reading the control port (443H) and a Disable cycle by reading
the Watch-dog timer disable control port (043H). After a Enable cycle of WDT,
user must constantly proceed a Refresh cycle to WDT before its period setting
comes ending of every 1, 2, 10, 20, 110 or 120 seconds which pre-setting by JP6.

If the Refresh cycle does not active before WDT period cycle, the on board WDT
architecture will issue a Reset or NMI cycle to the system.
The Watch-Dog Timer is controlled by two I/O ports.
443H I/O Read The Enable cycle.
443H I/O Read The Refresh cycle.

The NuPRO-630 uses the Award PCI/ISA BIOS for the system configuration.
The Award BIOS setup program is designed to provide the maximum flexibility
in configuring the system by offering various options which could be selected for
end-user requirements. This chapter is written to assist you in the proper usage
of these features.
To access AWARD PCI/ISA BIOS Setup program, press <Del> key. The Main
Menu will be displayed at this time.

The Standard Setup is used for the basic hardware system configuration. The
main function is for Data/Time and Floppy/Hard Disk Drive settings. Please
refer to the following screen for the setup. When the IDE hard disk drive you are
using is larger than 528MB, please set the HDD mode to LBA mode. Please use
the IDE Setup Utility in BIOS SETUP to install the HDD correctly.

This section allows you to configure your system for the basic operation. You
have the opportunity to select the system’s default speed, boot -up sequence,
keyboard operation, shadowing and security.

4.4 Chipset Features Setup
This section allows you to configure the sy stem based on the specific features of
the installed chipset. This chipset manages bus speeds and 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 operating 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.

Page 34
4.5 Integrated Peripherals
The IDE hard drive controllers can support up to two separate hard drives.
These drives have a master/slave relationship which 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).
