About the Product
This product is an IBM PC/AT compatible, box computer designed for industrial use based on a
low-power-consumption CPU of the Ultra Low Voltage Intel(R) Celeron(R) M Processor 1.0GHz
(FSB400MHz), to operate as a completely nature-cooled (fanless) system. The box computer provides a
variety of interfaces including the USB2.0, LAN (1000BASE-T x 1, 100BASE-TX x 1), and RS-232C
ports, capable of serving for a wide range of applications as a compact platform based on a general-purpose
PC OS. As this series incorporates handpicked components such as the embedded types of CPU and
chipset, it excels in environmental resistance and remains in stable supply for an extended period of time.
You can therefore use the box computer under severe operating conditions such as FA with ease.
Base Model
IPC-BX701-AC
Model with Expansion Slot
IPC-BX701P2-AC (Expansion 2 Slot type)
IPC-BX701P4-AC (Expansion 4 Slot type)
Features
- Ultra-low voltage Celeron M 1.0GHz(FSB400M), 855GME chip set, and 1GB of memory
This product is provided with Intel's (R) 1.0GHz power-saving, ultra-low-voltage Celeron (R) M processor
(FSB400MHz), Intel (R) 855GME chipset and memory of 1GB. The adoption of an embedded-type CPU
and chipset enables a stable power supply.
- Fan-less operation achieved by natural air-cooling
The use of a power-saving CPU and naturally-cooled cabinet structure allows fanless operation.
- Extended interfaces located at the front for easier maintenance
Extended interfaces such as CF card slot (Type I, bootable), serial (RS-232C) x 4, USB2.0 x 6,
1000BASE-T x 1, 100BASE-TX x 1 and audio interfaces are all placed at the front, providing excellent
maintenance advantages. In addition to a general-purpose analog RGB interface, the product has an LVDS
interface, which enables dual screen display. This product also uses the slot-in system that makes it easier
to connect and disconnect a storage device. The Secondary-IDE connector is equipped and the
CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive can be connected outside.
- Safety design with an anti-disconnection mechanism and BIOS setting retention function
Unnecessary trouble can be avoided by the use of insulation lock clamps for prevention of cable
disconnection and the use of metal fittings for prevention of CF card disconnection. Retention of CMOS
data by EEPROM allows the system to start up even when the battery has run out. In addition, the use of a
CONTEC-customized BIOS (by Award) allows support to be provided at the BIOS level.

Supervisor/User Password Setting
You can set either supervisor or user password, or both of then. The differences between are:
SUPERVISOR PASSWORD: can enter and change the options of the setup menus.
USER PASSWORD: just can only enter but do not have the right to change the options of the setup menus.
When you select this function, the following message will appear at the center of the screen to assist you in
creating a password.
ENTER PASSWORD :
Enter a password within eight characters and press the <Enter> key, and you will be prompted to confirm
the password. Type the password again and press <Enter>. You may also press <Esc> to abort the selection
and not enter a password.
To disable a password, just press <Enter> when you are prompted to enter the password. A message will
confirm the password will be disabled. Once the password is disabled, the system will boot and you can
enter Setup freely.
PASSWORD DISABLED.
When a password has been enabled, you will be prompted to enter it every time you try to enter Setup. This
prevents an unauthorized person from changing any part of your system configuration.
You can also set up the password so that you are prompted to enter it whenever the system is rebooted. This
would prevent unauthorized use of your computer.
You determine when the password is required within the BIOS Features Setup Menu and its Security option.
If the Security option is set to “System”, the password will be required both at boot and at entry to BIOS
Setup. If set to “Setup”, prompting only occurs when trying to enter BIOS Setup.
Save & Exit Setup
Pressing <Enter> on this item asks for confirmation:
Save to CMOS and EXIT (Y/N)? Y
Pressing the <Y> key saves the changes made on the Setup screen to CMOS (EEPROM).
Pressing “Y” stores the selections made in the menus in CMOS(EEPROM) – a special section of memory
that stays on after you turn your system off. The next time you start up your computer, the BIOS configures
your system according to the value stored in CMOS(EEPROM). After saving the values the system is
restarted again.
User’s Manual

4. BIOS Setup
Exit Without Saving
Pressing <Enter> on this item asks for confirmation:
Quit Without Saving (Y/N)? N
Pressing the <Y> key quits Setup without saving the changes made on the Setup screen to CMOS
(EEPROM). Quitting Setup without saving leaves the last saved settings in effect, with which the system is
rebooted after that.
Clear CMOS (EEPROM) data
If an unexpected startup failure occurs after BIOS setup, you can boot the system with the current BIOS
settings disabled by handling JBAT1 and JP3 in the following steps :
(1) Remove the top cover and so on so that you can touch JBA1 and JP3. To remove the cover, see
Chapter 3 "Hardware Setup".
(2) With the system unit turned off, connect pins 2 and 3 on JBAT1 using the jumper plug.
(3) Remove the jumper plug connecting JBAT1 pins 2 and 3 and connect pins 1 and 2 instead.
(4) Connect pins 2 and 3 on JP3 using the jumper plug.
(5) Turn on the system unit to start the system. During system startup, invoke BIOS Setup to set up the
BIOS again.
(6) After BIOS setup, remove the jumper plug connecting JP3 pins 2 and 3, connect pins 1 and 2 instead,
then save the settings and reboot the system.
POST Messages
During the Power On Self-Test (POST), if the BIOS detects an error requiring you to do something to fix, it
will either sound a beep code or display a message.
POST Beep
The BIOS reports errors using two types of beeps when they cannot be reported with on-screen messages.
One is a long beep followed by two short beeps. This indicates an error in the video system.
The other is a repetition of a long beep, indicating a DRAM error.
User’s Manual

Error Messages
One or more of the following messages may be displayed if the BIOS detects an error during the POST.
DISK BOOT failure
[INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER]
No boot device was found.
This message appears, for example, when the BIOS cannot find any drive from which to
boot the system. Check whether a bootable device has been connected and whether the
connectors and cables have been plugged correctly.

The HDD (SDD) is abnormal.
These messages appear when the HDD (SDD) connected is detected to be abnormal in
some way. If any of the messages is displayed, check the connection of the drive and its
settings.
Primary IDE Channel no 80 conductor cable installed
Secondary IDE Channel no 80 conductor cable installed
These messages appear when the system unit cannot recognize a connected ATA100 IDE
device as an ATA100 device. If either of the messages is displayed, check that "HDD
Select" in the "Advanced Chipset Features" menu has been set to "Auto Select".
Keyboard error or no keyboard present
This message appears with no keyboard connected.
The message may also appear if a key remains held down during a boot-up.
If this message is displayed, check the connection of the keyboard and its situation during
startup.
If you use the module with no keyboard connected, use BIOS Setup to set "Halt On" in
the "Standard CMOS Feature" menu to "All, But Keyboard".

Keyboard is locked out – Unlock the key
A key remains held down during a system boot. Check that the keyboard is connected
correctly and that no key is pressed during a system boot.
These error messages appear when system memory is abnormal.
They may appear when a BIOS Setup value is abnormal.
Run BIOS Setup again if possible.
This message appears when the system detects a nonmaskable interrupt (NMI).
You can select whether to continue processing with the NMI disable or to reboot the
system with the NMI enabled after the message is cleared.
This message appears along with another message for an error, indicating that the error
requires a reboot.
Press any key and the system will reboot.
This message appears along with another message as well, but indicating that the system
has been hung. Press and hold down the <CTRL> and <ALT> keys and press <DEL> to
re-start the system.

5. Each Component Function
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. For example, if the
time-out interval has been set to 32 seconds, your program should trigger the watchdog timer before 28
seconds are escaped. Otherwise, after 28 - 32 seconds are escaped, the system will automatically reboot. To
keep the system running normally, your program should trigger the watchdog timer every 28 seconds.
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.

When performing the re-start of WDT, it repeats [WDT Start] and [WDT Stop].

If [WDT Stop] is not performed within the limit time set up
