CPU Installation
The ATX-E7 Industrial SBC Card provides a 478-pins ZIF socket for
Pentium 4 processors with FC-PAG2 packa ge .
To Install a CPU, first turn off your system and remove its cover. Locate
the ZIP socket and open it by fi rst p ulling the lever sideways away from
the socket then upwards to a 90-degree right angle. Insert the CPU with
the correct orientation. Use the not ched corner of the CPU with the white
dot as your guide. The white dot should point towards the end of the
lever. Notice that there is a blank area where one hole is missing from
that corner of the square array of pin holds. Because the CPU has a
corner pin for three of the four corners, the CPU will only fit in one
orientation. With the added weight of the CPU fan, no force is required
to insert the CPU. Once completely inserted, hold down on the fan and
close the socket lever.
To disassembly the processor, simply pull the lever sideways away from
the socket then upward to a 90-degree right angle. You can t ake the CPU
out from the socket without help of any tool.
After installing the processor into the Socket, ensure that the CPU fan is
installed first. Without a fan circulating air on the CPU, the CPU can
overheat and cause damage to both CPU and SBC card.
WARNING!: If no FAN circulating Air on the CPU, the processor
might been overheated and damage both CPU and SBC components.
IMPORTANT: You must set jumpers for “CPU FSB speed” dep ending
on the CPU that you install.

Memory Installation
The ATX-E7 Industrial CPU Card provides two 184-pin DIMM sockets
for a maximum total memory of 2GB SDRAM. The memory modules
can come in sizes of 128MB, 256MB, 512MB and 1GB SDRAM.
The ATX-E7 Industrial CPU Card supports two 184-pin DIMM (Dual
In-line Memory Module) sockets. In populating the DIMM sockets,
DIMM1 bank should be populated first for less signal reflection.
However, we do not see any issue while populate DIM M2 only. Refer to
the following table on how to configure the memory.
NOTE
DDR266 Memory bus speed. With DDR200 Memory bus speed, SDRAM
modules meet PC1600 or PC2100 specification can be used.

Chapter3 BIOS Configuration
BIOS Introduction
This Chapter discusses Award™ Setup program built into the ATX-E7
BIOS. The Setup program allows users to modify the basic system
configuration. This special information is then stored in
battery-backed RAM so that it retains the Setup information when the
power is turned off.
The AwardBIOS™ installed in ATX-E7 SBC is a custom version of an
industry standard BIOS. This means that it supports Intel PentiumIV in
a standard IBM-AT compatible input/output system. The BIOS
provides critical low-level support for standard devices such as disk
drives and serial and parallel ports.
It also adds non-standard, features such as virus and password
protection as well as special support for detailed fine-tuning of the
chipset controlling the entire system.
The rest of this chapter is intended to guide you through the process of
configuring your system using Setup.
Starting Setup
The AwardBIOS™ is immediately activated when you first power on
the computer. The BIOS reads the system information contained in the
CMOS 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 Set up program can be activated in one
of two ways:
1. By press ing <Del> immediately after switching the system on, or
2. by pressing the <Del> key when the following message appears
briefly at the bottom of the screen during the POST (Power On
Self-Test).
Press DEL 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 or
pressing the "RESET" button on the system case. You may also restart
by simultaneously pressing <Ctrl>, <Alt>, and <Delete> keys. If you

do not press the keys at the correct time and the system does not boot,
an error message will be displayed and you will again be asked to...
PRESS F1 TO CONTINUE, DEL TO ENTER SETUP
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

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, after making and saving system changes with Setup, you discover
that your computer no longer is able to boot, the AwardBIOS™
supports an override to the CMOS settings which resets your system to
its defaults.
The best advice is to only alter settings that you thoroughly understand.
To this end, we strongly recommend that you avoid making any
changes to the chipset defaults. These defaults have been carefully
chosen by both Award and ATX-E7 manufacturer to provide the
absolute maximum performance and reliability. Even a seemingly
small change to the chipset setup has the potential for causing you to
use the override.

This section allows you to configur e 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 be cause 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.
DRAM Settings
The first chipset settings deal with CPU access to dynamic random
access memory (DRAM). The default timings have been carefully
chosen and should only be altered if data is being lost. Such a scenario
might well occur if your system had mixed speed DRAM chips
installed so that greater delays may be required to preserve the integrity
of the data held in the slower memory chips.

DRAM Timing Selectable
This item allows you to select the DRAM timing determined by the
timing information stored in SPD or set by the User manually. The
default is By SPD. Wh en this field is set as By SPD, the DRAM Timing
items below will become read-only.
The choice: By SPD, Manual.
CAS Latency Time
When synchronous DRAM is installed, the number of clock cycles of
CAS latency depends on the DRAM timing. Do not reset this field
from the default value specified by the system designer.
The choice: 3, 2.5, 2, 1.5.
Active to Precharge Delay
This item allows you to set the Active to Precharge D elay of DRAM
timing. Do not reset this field from the default value specified by the
system designer.
The choice: 8, 7.
DRAM RAS# to CAS# Delay
When DRAM is refreshed, both rows and columns are addressed
separately. This field allows you to determine the timing of transition
from Row Address Strobe (RAS) to Column Address Strobe (CAS).
The choice: 4, 3.
DRAM RAS# Precharge
The precharge time is the number of cycles it takes for the RAS to
accumulate its charge before DRAM refresh. If insufficient time is
allowed, refresh may be inco mplete and the DRAM may fail to retain
data.
The choice: 4, 3.

PnP/PCI Configuration Setup
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.

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:
Type the password, up to eight characters in len gth, and press <Enter>.
The password typed now will clear any pr eviously 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 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.
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. 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.
