When the analog display is used, Windows MS-DOS may not be properly displayed in full-screen
mode.
This is because the frequency and resolution of Windows and MS-DOS (full-screen display) are the
same due to the screen settings while the display parameters are different.
For display, as only one parameter can be stored for one frequency or resolution, only either of
Windows or MS-DOS screen can be displayed properly.
In this case, change the resolution or display frequency of Windows so that it is not the same as for

5. BIOS Setup
5. BIOS Setup
Introduction
This chapter discusses Insyde’s Setup program built into the FLASH ROM BIOS. The Setup program
allows users to modify the basic system configuration. This special information is then stored in
battery-backed RAM so that it retains the Setup information when the power is turned off.
The rest of this chapter is intended to guide you through the process of configuring your system using
Setup.
Starting Setup
The Insyde 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 <F2> immediately after switching the system on, or
2 By pressing the <F2> key when the following message appears briefly at the bottom of the screen
during the POST (Power On Self-Test).
Press F2 go to Setup Utility
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. You may also restart by simultaneously pressing <Ctrl>, <Alt>, and
<Delete> keys.

Using Setup
In general, you use the arrow keys to highlight items, press <Enter> to select, use the F5 and F6 keys to
change entries, press <F1> for help and press <Esc> to quit. The following table provides more detail
about how to navigate in the Setup program using the keyboard.
Table 5.1. Using Setup
Getting Help
Press F1 to pop up a small help window that describes the appropriate keys to use and the possible
selections for the highlighted item. To exit the Help Window press <Esc> key.
In Case of Problems
If, after making and saving system changes with Setup, you discover that your computer no longer is able
to boot, we should repair it
The best advice is to only alter settings which you thoroughly understand. To this end, we strongly
recommend that you avoid making any changes to the CPU defaults and the chipset defaults. These
defaults have been carefully chosen by both Insyde and your systems manufacturer to provide the
absolute maximum performance and reliability. Even a seemingly small change to them has the potential
for causing you to be repaired.
A Final Note About Setup
The information in this chapter is subject to change without notice.

Baud Rate Settings
A baud rate is set by software by dividing the clock input (1.8432MHz). The baud rate in terms of
hardware can be set to a maximum of 115,200 bps for SERIAL A. The baud rates available in practice
depend on the operating environment (cable, software, etc.). The table below lists typical baud rates and
their respective values to be written to the divisor latch register (LSB, MSB).
Table 6.7. Baud Rate Settings
Example: To set 9,600 bps, write "00" to the (MSB) divisor latch register and "12 (decimal)" to the (LSB) divisor latch

When performing the re-start of WDT, it repeats [WDT Start] and [WDT Stop].
Watch-Dog-Timer
The watchdog timer serves as a safeguard against possible system lock-up in your industrial computer
system. In most industrial environments, there are heavy equipment, generators, high-voltage power
lines, or power drops that have adverse effects on your computer system. For instance, when a power
drop occurs, it could cause the CPU to come to a halt state or enter into an infinite loop, resulting in a
system lock-up.
The application software created by user with the watchdog timer enabled, a RESET automatically
generated unless the software periodically triggers the timer within the setting time-out interval. That is,
while the system gets hung up, the running program can’t trigger the timer periodically. The timer will
generate a reset signal to reboot the system.
This feature allows a running program to restart in an orderly way when a power glitch or any abnormal
condition occurs.
The watchdog timer comes with 255-level time-out interval, 1 - 255 seconds per interval, which can be
adjusted by software setting. There is a tolerance of 2 second for this time-out interval. To maintain the
normal system operation, trigger the timer periodically by the user-created program in consideration of
the tolerance.
CONTEC’s Web site [IPC-SLIB-01], which is bundled with this product, contains a sample program for
the watchdog timer. To view the sample program for the watchdog timer, decompress
“HWMandRTCut.zip”, which is found under ¥RasUtility¥Samples¥Module.
Ex.) If the time-out interval is set to 30 seconds, the user-created program must retrigger the watchdog
timer before 28 seconds will have elapsed in consideration of the tolerance. If the program failed to
retrigger the timer (if 28 - 32 seconds have elapsed), the system will automatically reboot.
The I/O port is defined at address 2e/2fH. You can trigger/enable disable the timer by writing address
2e/2fH.
Here is an example for flow chart and programming how to use the watch-dog-timer.
(1) Example flow chart
* It is also possible not to perform [WDT Stop] instead of performing [WDT Stop] to [WDT Start], but to perform [WDT
Start] continuously at the time of a re-start.
