4. BIOS Setup

Introduction

This chapter di scusses American Megatrends’s (AMI) S etup 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 FLASH ROM 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 AMI BIOS is immediately activated when you first power on the computer. The BIOS reads the system information contained in the FLASH ROM 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 syst em .

While the BIOS is in control, the Setup program can be activat ed in one of two wa ys: 1 By pressing <Del> or <ESC> immediately after switching the system on, or 2 By pressin g the <Del> or <ESC> key when the following message appears briefly at the bottom of

the screen during the POST (Power On Self-Test).

Press <DEL> ot <ESC> 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 on the system case. You may also restart by simultaneously pressing <Ctrl>, <Alt>, and <Delete> keys.

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> or the F1 key again.

In Case of Problems

If you cannot boot the com puter after using Setup to change and save system settings , the computer will have to be repaired. It is safest not to change system settings you do not fully understand. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that you do not change any of the default settings for the chipset. These defaults have been selected with sufficient consideration by the AM I and system manufacturers to ensure maximum performance and reliability. Even changing the chipset settings slightly can result in an unavoidable need for r epairs.

- If the OS is booted without connecting the display cable to the DVI interface, and then the display is connected after the OS boots, the display may not be shown properly.

- When the anal o g 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) a r e the same due to the screen settings whil e 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 the MS-DOS display.

- When using a digital display, an analog display may be detected even though no analog display is connected.

- This will not affect how the digital display appears. However, change the multi-display settings as necessary.

- To change the settings from digital output to analog output, change the sett ings from the standard Windows properties screen.

Baud Rate Settings A baud rate is set by software by dividing the clock in put (1.8432MHz). The baud rate in terms of

hardware can be set to a maximu m of 115,200 bps for SERIALA, B. 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).

WDT Restart?

END

START

WDT Stop

WDT Initial

WDT Start

Yes

If [WDT Stop] is not performed within the limit time set up by [WDT Start], system reset occurs.

}

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, ther e 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 h alt state or enter into an infinite loop, resulting in a system lock-up.

The applic ation softwar e 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.

With this function, running programs can be restarted in the usual way even if an abnormal state occurs. The software can be configured using 255 levels (1 to 255 seconds) of timeout intervals for the watchdog

timer. There is also a 2-second tolerance for timeout intervals. To maintain normal system operation, trigger the watchdog timer again using a user-written program with the toleranc e in mind.

Ex.) If the time-out interval is set to 3 0 seconds, the user-created progr am 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 por t is de f i ne d 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.
