Common procedures
Grounding yourself
NoteEven if the power has been turned off from the PC, as long as the mains cable is connected to the
PSU (and power is provided) the +5 StandBy voltage is provided to the system for some crucial
components. Therefore hardware is sensitive to static electricity.
Before touching circuit boards or other devices inside the system unit, be sure to get rid of any static charge you
may have by grounding yourself properly. At a minimum, before touching a circuit board, first touch the metal
part of the chassis. However, there is a safer way to do this, and the following describes how you should ideally
ground yourself :
1. Connect the metal chassis of your computer to a grounded metal object such as a radiator:
Picture 1 : Grounding the unit
2. Ground yourself to any grounded metal object by first attaching a wrist strap made for this purpose
around your wrist and then to the metal object:
Picture 2 : Grounding yourself
3. Now you can touch the devices inside your system unit.

Checking the Input Voltage Setting
A 235 W in m664-series power supply is integrated into the chassis to provide power for the system board, addin cards, and peripheral devices. A switch (A) on the system rear panel can be used to set the power supply to
operate at:
115 V AC (in the range of 90 - 135 V AC), or
230 V AC (in the range of 180 - 265 V AC)
To verify that your system has the correct setting for your environment, check the input power selection switch.

Configuration modes
Before changing jumper settings remember always unplug all power attached cables from system unit.
Normal Mode (default setting)
Normal mode is for normal computer booting and operations. To enable this normal mode connect pins
1 and 2 with single jumper.The BIOS uses current setup configuration information which includes bus
and processor speed, configuration information and passwords. Use of the Setup program can be protect
by using administrative or user password.
In this mode the BIOS attempts an automatic recovery if the configuration information in flash memory
corrupted.
Configure mode
Configure mode is to change setup configuration information. To enable configure mode connect pins 2
and 3 with single jumper. When this mode is enable, Setup executes automatically after POST. In Setup
the Maintenance menu is displayed. In this mode BIOS default settings is used for booting.
To make changes become valid:
-Exit setup program
-Shut down computer and disconnect unplug power attached cables from system unit.
-Change configuration jumper in normal mode
-Boot up the computer
Note: After rebooting computer Setup uses administrative and user settings with latest changes.
In this mode the BIOS attempts an automatic recovery if the configuration information in flash memory
corrupted.

PC Specialist's HandbookErgoPro m664-series
Recovery Mode (Force Flash Load procedure)
Recovery mode is for upgrading the BIOS or recovering BIOS data. To enable recovery mode remove
single jumper from configuration header. When this mode is enabled BIOS tries to recover or upgrade
BIOS from BIOS diskette in floppy drive.
BEEP codes indicates recovery/upgrade status:
-one beep: start of recovery/upgrade.
-two beeps: succesful recevery/upgrade.
-multiple beeps: failed recovery/upgrade.
Note: If recovery/upgrade BIOS diskette not in floppy drive BIOS runs POST test and displays message:
jumper is not properly installed.
To make changes become valid:
-Exit setup program
-Shut down computer and disconnect Main power from system unit.
-Change configuration jumper in normal mode
-Boot up the computer

Front panel I/O connectors
The front panel connector includes headers for the following I/O connections:
Speaker
The speaker is enabled by a jumper on pins 26-27 of the front panel connector. The onboard speaker can
be disabled by removing the jumper, and an offboard speaker can be connected in its place. The speaker
(onboard or offboard) provides error beep code information during the POST in the event that the
computer cannot use the video interface. The speaker is not connected to the audio subsystem and does
not receive output from the audio subsystem.
Reset
This header can be connected to a momentary SPST type switch that is normally open. When the switch
is closed, the system board resets and runs the POST.
Power LED (/Sleep/MessageWaiting)
This header can be connected to an LED that will light when the computer is powered on.
HDD LED
This header can be connected to an LED to provide a visual indicator that data is being read from or
written to an IDE hard drive. For the LED to function properly, the IDE drive must be connected to the
onboard IDE controller. This LED will also show activity for devices connected to the SCSI hard drive
LED header.
Infrared
Serial Port 2 can be configured to support an IrDA module connected to this 6-pin header. After the IrDA
interface is configured, files can be transferred to or from portable devices such as laptops, PDAs and
printers using application software.
Sleep/Resume switch
When APM is enabled in the system BIOS, and the operating system’s APM driver is loaded, the system
can enter sleep (standby) mode in one of the following ways:
•Optional front panel sleep/resume button
•Prolonged system inactivity using the BIOS inactivity timer feature
The 2-pin header located on the front panel I/O connector supports a front panel sleep/resume switch,
which must be a momentary SPST type that is normally open. Closing the sleep/resume switch sends a
System Management Interrupt (SMI) to the processor, which immediately goes into System Management
Mode (SMM). While the system is in sleep mode it is fully capable of responding to and servicing
external interrupts (such as an incoming fax) even though the monitor turns on only if a keyboard or
mouse interrupt occurs. To reactivate or resume the system, the sleep/resume switch must be pressed
again, or the keyboard or mouse must be used.
Power On
This header can be connected to a front panel power switch. The switch must pull the SW_ON# pin to
ground for at least 50 ms to signal the power supply to switch on or off. (The time requirement is due to
internal debounce circuitry on the motherboard.) At least two seconds must pass before the power supply
will recognize another on/off signal.

Video Configuration
Configures video features. When selected, the following Video Configuration submenu is displayed:
Palette Snooping
Controls the ability of a primary PCI graphics controller to share a common palette with an ISA
add-in video card.
Historically, the VGA colour palette -or RAMDAC- could be multiplied on a number of display
boards on the ISA bus, all using the same port-addresses. This way, all palettes contained the
same colours. The PCI bus would effectively isolate any VGA on the PCI bus from a similar
RAMDAC on the ISA bus. The colours loaded into the PCI VGA would not be copied to the ISA
device. The devices using this technique are mainly video input and output overlay boards, using
a single monitor and connecting the VGA and overlay through the feature connector.
To enable the possibility of having multiple RAMDACs on both the PCI and ISA bus, the PCI VGA
palette snooping can be enabled. In this mode, all output to the VGA RAMDAC will be visible to all
devices on both the ISA and the PCI bus. The speed of the slowest bus (ISA) will determine how
fast the RAMDAC can be written. If there is a single RAMDAC in use, the function is not needed
and can be disabled. There will be no great impact on overall performance.
Some graphics controllers set up the VGA snooping in their own power-up initialisation. In such a
case, any manual selection -either ‘Enabled’ or ‘Disabled’- will be overridden at the next power-on.
When entering SETUP, the current state of the graphics hardware will always be displayed,
regardless of whether it is a fixed setting from the graphics sub-system or a previous manual
selection. Enabling the VGA snooping might cause colour corruption on some graphics boards.
Keep the default state unless change is absolutely necessary.

Tips & Hints
Using ISA Configuration Utility (ICU)
The driver DWCFGMG.SYS must be loaded before HIMEM.SYS. Can be used in DOS, Windows 3.x and
Windows for Workgroups 3.11 environments. If there are problems of configuring devices, f.e. audio, in
Windows NT 4.0, DOS version of ICU can be used to ensure the resources of the devices, then DOS ICU must
be used before starting Windows NT 4.0, booting DOS ICU from the floppy drive.
Hard disk partitioning
DOS 6.XX and Windows NT 4.0, FAT
Partition sizeCluster size (allocation unit)File system
The maximum partition size of the FAT file system in DOS is 2 GB (including Windows 95 FAT).
The maximum partition size of the FAT file system in Windows NT is 4 GB.
The FAT file system only supports 512 byte sectors, so both sectors per cluster and the cluser size is fixed.
The FAT file system supports cluster sizes up to 256 kB. Therefore, the physical size of a 1 byte file will be 1
cluster which may be (depending on the disk used) as little as 2048 Bytes or as great as 32 768 Bytes of disk
space used.

USB Legacy Support
USB legacy support enables USB keyboards and mice to be used even when no operating system USB drivers
are in place. By default, USB legacy support is disabled. USB legacy support is only intended to be used in
accessing BIOS Setup and installing an operating system that supports USB. This sequence describes how
USB legacy support operates in the default (disabled) mode.
1. When you power up the computer, USB legacy support is disabled.
2. POST begins.
3. USB legacy support is temporarily enabled by the BIOS. This allows you to use a USB keyboard to enter
the Setup program or the maintenance mode.
4. POST completes and disables USB legacy support (unless it was set to Enabled while in Setup).
5. The operating system loads. While the operating system is loading, USB keyboards and mice are not
recognized. After the operating system loads the USB drivers, the USB devices are recognized.
To install an operating system that supports USB, enable USB Legacy support in BIOS Setup and follow the
operating system’s installation instructions. Once the operating system is installed and the USB drivers
configured, USB legacy support is no longer used. USB Legacy Support can be left enabled in BIOS Setup if
needed.
Notes on using USB legacy support:
•If USB legacy support is enabled, don't mix USB and PS/2 keyboards and mice. For example, do not use
a PS/2 keyboard with a USB mouse, or a USB keyboard and a PS/2 mouse.
•Do not use USB devices with an operating system that does not support USB. USB legacy is not
intended to support the use of USB devices in a non USB operating system.
•USB legacy support is for keyboards and mice only. Hubs and other USB devices are not supported.
ATA/ATAPI device support
If Auto is selected as a primary or secondary IDE device in Setup (i.e. RSU), the BIOS automatically sets up the
two local-bus IDE connectors with independent I/O channel support. The IDE interface supports hard drives up
to PIO Mode 4 and recognises ATAPI devices, including CD-ROM drives, tape drives and Ultra DMA drives.
Add-in ISA IDE controllers are not supported.
The BIOS determines the capabilities of each drive and configures them so as to optimize capacity and
performance. To take advantage of the high-capacity storage devices, hard drives are automatically configured
for logical block addressing (LBA) and to PIO Mode 3 or 4, depending on the capability of the drive. To override
the autoconfiguration options, use the specific IDE device options in Setup. The ATAPI specification
recommends that ATAPI devices be configured as shown in table below:

BIOS Power On Self Test (POST)
After the power has been turned on, the system performs a power on self-test, i.e. POST, to check that all parts
are working properly.
If the test does not find any faults you will hear one long beep. During the POST BIOS information is shown on
the screen:
PhoenixBIOS 4.0 Release 6.0

The following pages describe the steps that you should take if either fault situation should occur.
Page 5-2Edition 1 - Release 1 - March 1998
PC Specialist's HandbookErgoPro m664-series
Beep codes
Whenever a recoverable error occurs during Power-On Self Test (POST), the BIOS displays an error message
describing the problem. The BIOS also issues a beep code (one long tone followed by two short tones) during
POST if the video configuration fails (no card installed or faulty) or if an external ROM module does not properly
checksum to zero.
An external ROM module (e.g video BIOS) can also issue audible errors, usually consisting of one long tone
followed by a series of short tones. For more information on the beep codes issued, check the documentation
for that external device.
There are several POST routines that issue a POST Terminal Error and shut down the system if they fail.
Before shutting down the system, the terminal-error handler issues a beep code signifying the test point error,
writes the error to I/O port 80h, attempts to initialize the video and writes the error in the upper left corner of the
screen (using both mono and color adapters).
If POST completes normally, the BIOS issues one short beep before passing control to the operating system.

BIOS check points (POST codes)
At the beginning of each POST task, the BIOS outputs the check point (error code) to I/ O port 80h. If the BIOS
detects a terminal error condition, it issues a terminal-error beep code (See BEEP CODES earlier in this
section), attempts to display the check point on upper left corner of the screen and on the port 80h LED display,
and halts POST. It attempts repeatedly to write the check point to the screen. This attempt may "hash" some
CGA displays. If the system hangs before the BIOS can process the error, the value displayed at the port 80h is
the last test performed. In this case, the screen does not display the check point.
This list shows the check point number (hex) and what BIOS is doing in POST while this checkpoint is
displayed.

AMC (ATI Multimedia Channel)
The ATI Multimedia Channel connector (i.e. a 16-bit bi-directional video port) consist of two parts, the
conventional VGA feature connector and the "AMC extension". The connector has been designed so that the
standard VGA feature connector cables can be still used with non-AMC devices. When using AMC cards, both
parts of the AMC connector are in use (singe cable). Several AMC devices (for example video
capture/conferencing, hardware MPEG-2/DVD and TV tuner) can be connected to the channel at the same time
(daisy chain cabling) but only one device can be used at a time.

Description
Timer
The system board has three programmable timers, defined as follows :
A real-time clock component provides Real-Time Clock and Calendar functions. The circuit contains 114 bytes
of battery-backed-up CMOS-static RAM memory used for clock functions, and for storing the configuration
information (e.g., the number of diskette drives, the amount of system board memory, etc.).
The CMOS RAM memory is backed up with a non-rechargeable battery that has a considerable lifetime.
However, should the battery begin to fail, the following message (and possibly others) appears on the screen
during the power-on test:
System battery is dead - Replace and run SETUP
A used battery is an external coin-cell style , 3 V Lithium Cell battery (f.eg. Sony CR2032), which provides
power to the RTC and CMOS memory.
