Safety Instructions

Integrated circuits on computer boards are sensitive to static electricity. To
avoid damaging chips from electrostatic discharge, observe the following
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 seconds. This helps to discharge any static
electricity on your body.

 Wear a wrist-grounding strap, available from most electronic component

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 product 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.

General Description

HS-6254 HS-6654

The HS-6254/HS-6654 is a VIA CX700(M) chipset-based board
designed. The HS-6254/HS-6654 is an ideal all-in-one single board
computer. Additional features include an enhanced I/O with CF,
CRT/LVDS, dual LAN, audio, SATA, 4 COM, USB2.0, and PC/104
interfaces.

Its onboard ATA/33/66/100 to IDE drive interface architecture allows
the HS-6254/HS-6654 to support data transfers of 33, 66 or
100MB/sec. to one IDE drive connection. Designed with the VIA
CX700(M), the board supports VIA V4 Eden 1GHz CPU.

The VIA CX700(M) with 32/64/128MB shared main memory supporting
CRT/Panel displays up to 1920 x 1440. It also supports 24-bit
single/dual-channel LVDS interface supporting up to 1600 x 1200.

System memory is also sufficient with the one SO-DDRII socket that
can support up to 1G.

Additional onboard connectors include five 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
watchdog timer (WDT) onboard HS-6254/HS-6654 is designed with
software that does not need the arithmetical functions of a real-time
clock chip. If any program causes unexpected halts to the system, the
onboard WDT will automatically reset the CPU or generate an interrupt
to resolve such condition.

Unpacking

2.1 Opening the Delivery Package

The HS-6254/HS-6654 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, place it on a raised surface and carefully
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, ROM-Disk, and keyboard controller chip
to ensure that they are firmly seated. The HS-6254/HS-6654 delivery
package contains the following items:

 HS-6254/HS-6654 Board x 1

3.18 Watchdog Timer

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 period preset of WDT, it will assume that
the program operation is abnormal. A system reset signal will restart
when such error happens.

The following sample programs show how to enable, disable and
refresh the watchdog timer:

3.19 PC/104 Connectors

The PC/104 expansion bus offers provisions to connect all types of
PC/104 modules. With the PC/104 bus being known as the new
generation of industrial embedded 16-bit PC standard bus, thousands
of PC/104 modules from multiple venders can be easily installed
onboard. The detailed pin assignment of the PC/104 expansion bus
connectors CN14 and CN12 are listed on the following tables:

NOTE1: The PC/104 connector allows direct plugging or stack-through

piling of PC/104 modules without requiring the PC/104 mounting
kit.

NOTE2: PC/104 Bus connector only for 16-bit ISA Bus, DO NOT support

DMA mode.

AMI BIOS Setup

The HS-6254/HS-6654 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

27

4.2 Using Setup

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

↑ Move to previous item
↓ Move to next item
← Move to previous item
→ Move to previous item

4.3 Main Menu

Once you enter the AMI BIOS CMOS Setup Utility, the Main Menu will
appear on the screen. The Main Menu allows you to select from several
setup functions and two exit choices. Use the arrow keys to select
among the items and press <Enter> to enter the sub-menu.

5.4 Standard CMOS Features

The standard CMOS 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, you must
set the HDD mode to LBA mode. Please use the IDE setup utility in
BIOS setup to install the HDD correctly.

5.6 Advanced Chipset Features

This section allows you to configure the system 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 must consider making any changes only if you discover that the
data has been lost while using your system.

5.7 Integrated Peripherals

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
themselves. This is much simpler and more efficient (also faster).

This section describes the configuration of the PCI bus system.
Peripheral Components Interconnect (PCI), 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 recommended that
only experienced users should make any changes to the default
settings.
