Chapter 3 BIOS Setup
BIOS Overview
BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) is solidified in the flash memory on the CPU
board. Its main functions include: initialize system hardware, set the operating status
of the system components, adjust the operating parameters of the system components,
diagnose the functions of the system components and report failures, provide hardware
operating and controlling interface for the upper level software system, guide
operating system and so on. BIOS provides users with a human-computer interface in
menu style to facilitate the configuration of system parameters for users, control power
management mode and adjust the resource distribution of system device, etc.
Correct BIOS settings make system more stable and reliable and also improve the
overall performance of the system. Inappropriate or wrong BIOS settings reduce the
performance of system, make system unstable and even unable to work normally.
BIOS Parameter Setup
Prompt message for BIOS setting may appear once the system is powered on and the
computer booted. At that time (invalid at other time), press the key specified in the
prompt message (usually <Del>) to enter into BIOS setting.
If the BIOS setting in CMOS is destroyed, system will ask you to enter BIOS setting
or select certain default value.
All the setup values modified by BIOS are saved in the CMOS storage of the system.
The CMOS storage is powered by battery; unless clearing CMOS is executed, the
settings would not be lost even when the power supply is cut off.
Note! BIOS setting will influence the computer performance directly. Wrong
settings may damage computer or even prevent boot up. After clearing CMOS, use
the internal default value of BIOS to restore the normal operation of system.
Our company is constantly researching and updating BIOS, so the setup interface
may be a bit different. The figure below is for reference only; it may be different
from your BIOS setting procedure in use.

BPI Overview
EVOC BPI (BIOS Programming Interface) is a cross-platform, easy-maintenance
software interface specification, which can access hardware under the protection
mode of the operating system. The function of the product is to provide a unified
standard interface for the application software or driver; therefore, when the hardware
of the motherboard is upgrading, there is no need to modify the application software
or driver and the former software can operate on the new platform normally. It has
greatly improved the product development speed and reduced the maintenance cost.
Currently, BPI supports the configuration of WDT and GPIO as well as H/W monitor
function. As for the test program and function library, please refer to the relevant
documents in the enclosed CD.
Features of the BPI include:
1Platform Irrelevant
The software developed by BPI function library can operate on a new platform,
supporting BPI function, normally without making any modification.
2Security and High Reliability
The BPI function library accessing the hardware is programmed by the
motherboard developer and is strictly tested; therefore, it can avoid system
malfunction due to improper operation of the system hardware.
3Flexible Configuration
Take GPIO configuration as an example, users may conveniently configure an
arbitrary GPIO function by BPI function library or test program.
4Easy Maintenance
Traditional WDT and GPIO programming are closely related to the hardware with
complicated test and debug process and software of different platforms; however, the
software developed by BPI only requires for a set of the maintenance software.
Appendix
- 44 - EC3-1813CLD2NA(B)
5Low Cost
Developing the applications by BPI will not increase additional hardware and
software cost, but it will reduce the development difficulty, development cycle
and time-to-market for the system integrator.

Troubleshooting and Solutions
NO. Phenomenon Troubleshooting and Solution
Analysis: it could be the problem of the CMOS battery.
1
BIOS setting cannot be saved
Solution: measure the CMOS battery with a multi-meter; if the voltage is insufficient, replace the battery; re-set the BIOS and save again.
Analysis: it may be caused by poor connection. Remove the power plug from power socket on motherboard, you may find that certain pin of the motherboard power has been collapsed to one side after some forceful insertion.
2
The computer can only be powered-on occasionally
Solution: power off the computer and remove the power plug; erect the bended power pin with tweezers and re-insert in the power socket. Reboot the computer and test for several times until the problem no longer exits. Analysis: A USB flash drive is a high-speed USB2.0; when connecting with the computer, it prompts that a high-speed device has been connected with a low-speed connector, which indicates that the connector on motherboard is regarded as a USB1.1 port.
3
When connecting with a USB flash drive, the system prompts that a high-speed device has been connected with a low-speed connector.
Solution: enable the USB high-speed transmission mode on the motherboard. Different motherboards may have different settings. Change the FULLSPEED option to HISPEED in USB device option.
Analysis: it could result from improper operation when inserting or removing the memory and cause abnormal operation of the components on the motherboard. Focus on the circuit related to the memory on the motherboard.
4
The screen has no display after replacing with a new memory and cannot enter system; even when the former memory is re-installed, the system cannot be booted as well.
Solution: check the hardware such as memory, video card first; if it shows that the hardware are all OK, then check the circuit around the memory slot on motherboard carefully; you may find that the two pins connected with the gold finger in the first memory slot are shorted while the second memory slot is normal, then you may know that there is short circuit in the first memory slot. Remove the two pins to their original location with tweezers carefully, insert the memory, reboot the system and the system will be booted smoothly.
5 The system
Analysis: the data cable of the hard disk may get knocked
Appendix
- 46 - EC3-1813CLD2NA(B)
when installing the CD-ROM, which leads to poor connection of the hard disk data cable, or the master and slave jumpers on hard disk and CD-ROM are wrongly
set. cannot be booted after replacing a CD-ROM.
Solution: check the data cable of the hard disk and the
IDE connectors on hard disk and motherboard first; if
there are no problems, then check the master and slave
jumper setting. You may find that the hard disk and
CD-ROM are connected with different data cables while
their jumpers are all set to master; thus, the hard disk
cannot be booted. Set the CD-ROM jumper to slave and
then re-install it.
Analysis: make sure the PCI card functions normally;
re-insert the PCI card or insert it into another PCI slot to
see whether it is normal; find out the power type in use
(AT or ATX); find out users’ requirement for the PCI card
voltage.
6
No PCI card can be detected after entering the system.
Solution: if the PCI card functions abnormally, replace it
with a new one; if it functions normally when re-inserted
or inserted in another PCI slot, then there is something
wrong between the PCI card and the slot. If AT power is
adopted and the PCI card requires 3.3V voltage, then the
AT power shall be replaced with ATX power because AT
power cannot provide 3.3V voltage. (Suggestion: when
purchasing power supplies, please check whether the PCI
card in use requires 3.3V voltage or not).
Analysis: devices are not connected; no drivers are
loaded; devices are broken.

Solution: check whether the cable between the device and
the motherboard is normal; if it is normal, replace it with
a new cable to make sure the connection is OK. Re-install
the device driver and check whether it can be recognized;
check whether the device is normal; if the device is
normal, then check whether the device is compatible with
the motherboard.
