- 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 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 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 settings from the standard

Windows properties screen.

BIOS setup

Introduction

This chapter discusses American Megatrends’s (AMI) 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 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 system.

While the BIOS is in control, the Setup program can be activated in one of two ways:

1 By pressing <Del> or <ESC> immediately after switching the system on, or

2 By pressing the <Del> or <ESC> key when the following message appears briefly at the bottom of

the screen during the POST (Power On Self-T est).

Press <DEL> or <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.

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, 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.

F1 key General help on Setup navigation keys

F2 key Load the previous settings

F3 key Load the optimal defaults from the BIOS default table

F4 key Save all the changed settings to the FLASH ROM and exit

◆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 computer 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 AMI and system manufacturers to ensure

maximum performance and reliability. Even changing the chipset settings slightly can result in an

unavoidable need for repairs.

◆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 (1.8432 MHz). The baud rate in terms of

hardware can be set to a maximum 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).

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.

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 tolerance in mind.

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

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].

* 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.

(2) Example programming

The following example is written in Intel8086 assembly language.

WDT Initial

WDT Start

WDT Stop

START

Yes

WDT Restart?

END
