5.3 Jumper

5.3.1 Clear RTC RAM (CLRTC)

This jumper allows you to clear the Real Time Clock (RTC) RAM in CMOS. You can
clear the CMOS memory of date, time, and system setup parameters by erasing the
CMOS RTC RAM data. The RAM data in CMOS, that include system setup information
such as system passwords, is powered by the onboard button cell battery.

To erase the RTC RAM:

1. Turn OFF the computer and unplug the power cord.

2. Remove the battery.

3. Move the jumper cap from pins 1-2 (default) to pins 2-3. Keep the cap on pins 2-3

for about 5-10 seconds, then move the cap back to pins 1-2.

4. Re-install the battery.

5. Plug the power cord and turn ON the computer.

6. Hold down the <Del> key during the boot process and enter BIOS setup to re-

enter data.

Except when clearing the RTC RAM, never remove the cap on
CLRTC jumper default position. Removing the cap will cause
system boot failure.

5.4 Internal connectors

This section describes and illustrates the connectors on the motherboard.
See page 3 for the description of the rear panel connectors.

5.4.1 USB connector (10-1 pin USB34)

If the rear panel USB 2.0 ports are inadequate, a USB header is available at midboard to
accommodate two additional USB ports. You may connect the cable of a two-port USB
module to this connector, then mount the module to an open slot in the chassis.

5.4.2 Rear panel TV and audio ports connector (14-1 pin TVOUT_R)

This interface is connected to the proprietary daughtercard that supports the
rear panel audio I/O, S-Video, and composite video ports.

5.4.3 LED connector (6-pin LED_CON1)

This connector supports the Power and HDD activity LEDs in the system front panel.

5.4.4 ATX power connectors (20-pin ATXPWR, 4-pin ATX12V)

These connectors are for the 20-pin and 4-pin power plugs from the power supply unit.
The plugs from the power supply unit are designed to fit these connectors in only one
orientation. Find the proper orientation and push down firmly until the connectors
completely fit.

56 ©Copyright 2006 CyberResearch, Inc.

CyberResearch® Panel PCs CYRAQ® PPC Series

5.4.5 IDE connectors (40-1 pin PRI_SIDE)

The PRI_SIDE connector is for the secondary master device (optical drive). Configure
the hard disk drive and the optical drive as primary/secondary master device by adjusting
their jumper settings. Refer to their respective documentation for details.

Pin 20 on the IDE connector is removed to match the covered hole
on the UltraATA cable connector. This prevents incorrect
orientation when you connect the cables.

5.4.6 Serial ATA connectors (7-pin SATA1)

This next generation connector supports the thin Serial ATA cable for a Serial ATA hard
disk drive. The current Serial ATA interface allows up to 150 MB/s data transfer rate,
faster than the standard parallel ATA with 133 MB/s (UltraATA133).

Important notes on Serial ATA

• The Serial ATA cable is smaller and more flexible allowing
easier routing inside the chassis. The lower pin count of
the Serial ATA cable eliminates the problem caused by
the wide, flat ribbon cables of the Parallel ATA interface.

• Hot plug support for Serial ATA drive and connections are
not available in this motherboard.

• Install Windows® XP. Service Pack 1 when using Serial
ATA.

6 BIOS Setup

6.1 BIOS Setup program

Use the BIOS Setup program when you are installing a motherboard, reconfiguring your
system, or prompted to .Run Setup.. This section explains how to configure your system
using this utility.

Even if you are not prompted to use the Setup program, you may want to change the
configuration of your computer in the future. For example, you may want to enable the
security password feature or make changes to the power management settings. This
requires you to reconfigure your system using the BIOS Setup program so that the
computer can recognize these changes and record them in the CMOS RAM of the
firmware hub.

The firmware hub stores the Setup utility. When you start up the computer, the system
provides you with the opportunity to run this program. Press <Delete> during the Power­On Self Test (POST) to enter the Setup utility, otherwise, POST continues with its test
routines.

If you wish to enter Setup after POST, restart the system by pressing <Ctrl> + <Alt> +
<Delete>, or by pressing the reset button on the system chassis. You can also restart by
turning the system off and then back on. Do this last option only if the first two failed.

The Setup program is designed to make it as easy to use as possible. It is a menu-driven
program, which means you can scroll through the various sub-menus and make your
selections among the predetermined choices.

Because the BIOS software is constantly being updated, the
following BIOS setup screens and descriptions are for reference
purposes only, and may not exactly match what you see on your
screen.

Product Service

Diagnosis and Debug

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.
