Introduction

Thank you for choosing LIVA PC KIT featuring BAT-MINI, the motherboard of high performance, enhanced function. This motherboard has onboard Intel® Bay Trail-M SoC for personal micro desktop markets or educational usage.

This motherboard is based on Intel

Bay Trail-M SoC. This latest Celeron processor is a multi-core system-on-a-chip (SoC) that integrates the next generation Intel® processor core, graphics, memory, and I/O interfaces into one solution. One NGFF card slot is for WPAN/ WLAN/Antenna usage (You need to install a key E type Wireless card into it). It implements one USB 3.0 port, one USB 2.0 port and one micro USB 2.0 port(DC_IN port) at rear panel.

It supports DDR3L up to 2 GB

single channel soldered down memory and a direct soldered down eMMC up to 32 GB/64 GB storage. It also can add additional storage from USB flash drive.

The motherboard is equipped with a set of I/O ports at the rear panel, including one DC_IN port(micro USB2.0, 5V), one VGA port, one HDMI port, one RJ45 LAN connector, one USB 3.0 port, and one USB 2.0 port.

Warning: due to power limitation, it is suggested that USB HDD devices be used with additional power supply.

Using BIOS

About the Setup Utility

The computer uses the latest “American Megatrends Inc. ” BIOS with support for Windows Plug and Play. The CMOS chip on the motherboard contains the ROM setup instructions for configuring the motherboard BIOS.

The BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) Setup Utility displays the system’s configuration status and provides you with options to set system parameters. The parameters are stored in battery-backedup CMOS RAM that saves this information when the power is turned off. When the system is turned back on, the system is configured with the values you stored in CMOS.

The BIOS Setup Utility enables you to configure:

The settings made in the Setup Utility affect how the computer performs. Before using the Setup Utility, ensure that you understand the Setup Utility options.

This chapter provides explanations for Setup Utility options.

• Hard drives, diskette drives and peripherals

• Video display type and display options

• Password protection from unauthorized use

• Power Management features

Page 26

LIVA PC KIT USER MANUAL

Chapter 3

The Standard Configuration

A standard configuration has already been set in the Setup Utility. However, we recommend that you read this chapter in case you need to make any changes in the future.

This Setup Utility should be used:

• when changing the system configuration

• when a configuration error is detected and you are prompted to make changes to the Setup Utility

• when trying to resolve IRQ conflicts

• when making changes to the Power Management configuration

• when changing the password or making other changes to the Security Setup

Press DEL to enter SETUP

Entering the Setup Utility

When you power on the system, BIOS enters the Power-On Self Test (POST) routines. POST is a series of built-in diagnostics performed by the BIOS. After the POST routines are completed, the following message appears:

Press the delete key to access BIOS Setup Utility.

Chapter 3

Reseng the Default CMOS Values

When powering on for the ﬁrst me, the POST screen may show a “CMOS Setngs Wrong” message. This standard message will appear following a clear CMOS data at factory by the manufacturer. You simply need to Load Default Sengs and Save it to reset the default CMOS values.

Note: Changes to system hardware such as diﬀerent CPU, memories, etc. may also trigger this message.

Choose the system default language.

Updating the BIOS

You can download and install updated BIOS for this motherboard from the manufacturer’s Website. New BIOS provides support for new peripherals, improvements in performance, or fixes for known bugs. Install new BIOS as follows:

1 If your motherboard has a BIOS protection jumper,

change the setting to allow BIOS flashing.

2 If your motherboard has an item called Firmware Write

Protect in Advanced BIOS features, disable it. (Firmware Write Protect prevents BIOS from being overwritten.)

3 Prepare a bootable device or create a bootable system

disk. (Refer to Windows online help for information on creating a bootable system disk.)

4 Download the Flash Utility and new BIOS file from the

manufacturer’s Web site. Copy these files to the bootable device.

5 Turn off your computer and insert the bootable device

in your computer. (You might need to run the Setup Utility and change the boot priority items on the Advanced BIOS Features Setup page, to force your computer to boot from the bootable device first.)

6 At the C:\ or A:\ prompt, type the Flash Utility program

name and the file name of the new BIOS and then press <Enter>. Example: AFUDOS.EXE 040706.ROM

7 When the installation is complete, remove the bootable

device from the computer and restart your computer. If your motherboard has a Flash BIOS jumper, reset the jumper to protect the newly installed BIOS from being overwritten. The computer will restart automatically.
