1.3.1 Hardware Monitoring
Hardware monitoring allows you to monitor various aspects of your
systems operations and status. The features include CPU temperature,
voltage and RPM of fan.
1.3.2 I/O Shield Connector
The SBC is equipped with an I/O bracket. Please use the appropriate
I/O shield (figure 1).
1. Before removing the CPU, turn off the CPPC Series power; then wait for
about 3 minutes until the heatsink and the CPU cool down.
2. To remove the CPU, lift the releasing lever of the Socket 478.
Note: The CPU and the heat heatsink are hot; they may cause
burns.
To remove the CPU, reverse the installation steps.
2.1.2 Heat Sink & Retention Module Installation
It is highly recommended that only CPPC Heat Sink + Fan (figure 4),
designed for use in the chassis be used -- the use of other heat sinks,
including those boxed with CPUs, may result in damage to the CPPC SBC.
Make sure that good contact is made between the processors and the
heat sinks. Insufficient contact, incorrect types of heat sinks, fans, or thermal
compound used or improper amount of thermal compound applied on the
CPU die can cause the processors to overheat, which may crash the system.
The Retention Module can prevent the board to crooked, so user must
add the Retention Module to hold up the weight of Heat Sink & Fan.

2.1.3 Memory Module Installation
Figure 5 display the notch marks and what they should look like on your
DIMM memory module.
DIMMs have184-pins and two notches that match with the onboard
DIMM socket. DIMM modules are installed by placing the chip firmly into the
socket at a 90-degree angle and pressing straight down (figure 6) until it fits
tightly into the DIMM socket.
Figure 5: DIMM Memory and 184-pins Socket
Figure 6: Memory Installation
Carefully follow the steps below in order to install the DIMMs:
1. To avoid generating static electricity and damaging the DIMM, ground
yourself by touching a grounded metal surface or using a ground scrap
before you touch the DIMM.
2. Do not touch the connector of the DIMM. Dirt residue may cause a
malfunction.
3. Hold the DIMM with its notch to the front side of the CPPC Series and
insert it completely into the socket. A DIMM should be inserted into the
inner socket first. Guiding the hole at each end of the DIMM over the
retaining post at each end of the DIMM socket.
4. If you install two DIMMs, install the second DIMM using the same
5. If DIMM does not go in smoothly—do not force it! Pull it all the way out
and try again.
6. Make sure the DIMM is properly installed and locked by the tabs on both
sides of the socket.
Removing a DIMM:
To remove the DIMM, use your fingers or a small screwdriver to
carefully push away the plastic tabs that secure the DIMM at each end. Lift it
out of the socket.
Make sure you store the DIMM in an anti-static bag and must be
populated the same size and manufactory of memory modules. .
2.1.4 Setting Jumpers
There are jumpers on the system board of the CPPC Series. You can
set the jumpers to make the necessary operations.
Figure 7: Jumper Connector
For any three-pins jumpers (figure 7), the jumper setting is 1-2 when the
jumper connects pin 1 and 2. The setting is 2-3 when pin 2 and 3 are
connected and so on. You see one of the lines surrounding jumpers is thick,
which indicates pin NO.1.
To move a jumper from one position to another, use needle-nose pliers
or tweezers to pull the pin cap off the pin and move it to the desired position.

AWARD BIOS SETUP
3.1 BIOS Instructions
Award’s ROM BIOS provides a built-in Setup program, which allows
user to modify the basic system configuration and hardware parameters.
The modified data will be stored in a battery-backed CMOS, so that data will
be retained even when the power is turned off. In general, the information
saved in the CMOS RAM will stay unchanged unless there is a configuration
change in the system, such as hard drive replacement or a device is added.
It is possible for the CMOS battery to fail; this will cause data loss in the
CMOS only. If this does happen you will need to reconfigure your BIOS
settings.
Once you enter the AwardBIOS™ 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 accept and enter the sub-menu.

This section allows you to configure the system based on the specific
features of the installed chipset. This chipset manages bus speeds and
access to system memory resources, such as DRAM and the external
cache. It also coordinates communications between the conventional ISA
bus and the PCI bus. It must be stated that these items should never need to
be altered. The default settings have been chosen because they provide the
best operating conditions for your system. The only time you might consider
making any changes would be if you discovered that data was being lost
while using your system.

PCI PIRQ [A-D] #
This section describes configuring the PCI bus system. PCI, or
Personal Computer Interconnect, is a system, which 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.

You can set either supervisor or user password, or both of then. The
differences between are:
Set Supervisor Password: can enter and change the options of the setup
menus.
Set 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:
Type the password, up to eight characters in length, and press <Enter>.
The password typed now will clear any previously entered password from
CMOS memory. You will be asked to confirm the password. Type the
password again and press <Enter>. You may also press <Esc> to abort the

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.
Additionally, when a password is enabled, you can also require the
BIOS to request a password every time your 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 (see Section 3). If the Security option is
set to “System”, the password will be required both at boot and at entry to
Setup. If set to “Setup”, prompting only occurs when trying to enter Setup.

CyberResearch, Inc. maintains technical support lines staffed by experienced
Applications Engineers and Technicians. There is no charge to call and we will
return your call promptly if it is received while our lines are busy. Most problems
encountered with data acquisition products can be solved over the phone. Signal
connections and programming are the two most common sources of difficulty.
CyberResearch support personnel can help you solve these problems, especially
if you are prepared for the call.
To ensure your call’s overall success and expediency:
1) Have the phone close to the PC so you can conveniently and quickly take
action that the Applications Engineer might suggest.
2) Be prepared to open your PC, remove boards, report back-switch or
jumper settings, and possibly change settings before reinstalling the
modules.
3) Have a volt meter handy to take measurements of the signals you are
trying to measure as well as the signals on the board, module, or power
supply.
4) Isolate problem areas that are not working as you expected.
5) Have the source code to the program you are having trouble with available
so that preceding and prerequisite modes can be referenced and
discussed.
6) Have the manual at hand. Also have the product’s utility disks and any
other relevant disks nearby so programs and version numbers can be
checked.
Preparation will facilitate the diagnosis procedure, save you time, and avoid
repeated calls. Here are a few preliminary actions you can take before you call
which may solve some of the more common problems:
1) Check the PC-bus power and any power supply signals.
2) Check the voltage level of the signal between SIGNAL HIGH and SIGNAL
LOW, or SIGNAL+ and SIGNAL– . It CANNOT exceed the full scale range
of the board.
3) Check the other boards in your PC or modules on the network for address
and interrupt conflicts.
4)Refer to the example programs as a baseline for comparing code.
