1. Getting Started
1.1 Safety Precautions
Warning!
Always completely disconnect the power cord from your
chassis whenever you work with the hardware. Do not
make connections while the power is on. Sensitive
electronic components can be damaged by sudden power
surges. Only experienced electronics personnel should
open the PC chassis.
Caution!
Always ground yourself to remove any static charge before
touching the CPU card. Modern electronic devices are very
sensitive to static electric charges. As a safety precaution,
use a grounding wrist strap at all times. Place all electronic
components in a static-dissipative surface or static-shielded
bag when they are not in the chassis.

1.6.7 NS DS90C385 LVDS Transmitter
The DS90C385 transmitter converts 28 bits of LVCMOS/LVTTL data into four LVDS (Low
Voltage Differential Signaling) data streams. A phase-locked transmit clock is transmitted in
parallel with the data streams over a fifth LVDS link. Every cycle of the transmit clock 28
bits of input data are sampled and transmitted. At a transmit clock frequency of 85 MHz, 24
bits of RGB data and 3 bits of LCD timing and control data (FPLINE, FPFRAME, DRDY)
are transmitted at a rate of 595 Mbps per LVDS data channel. Using a 85 MHz clock, the
data throughput is 297.5 Mbytes/sec. Also available is the DS90C365 that converts 21 bits
of LVCMOS/LVTTL data into three LVDS (Low Voltage Differential Signaling) data streams.
Both transmitters can be programmed for Rising edge strobe or Falling edge strobe through
a dedicated pin. A Rising edge or Falling edge strobe transmitter will interoperate with a
Falling edge strobe Receiver (DS90CF386/DS90CF366) without any translation logic.

• Locate the DIMM slot on the board.
• Hold two edges of the DIMM module carefully. Keep away of touching its connectors.
• Align the notch key on the module with the rib on the slot.
• Firmly press the modules into the slot automatically snaps into the mounting notch. Do
not force the DIMM module in with extra force as the DIMM module only fit in one
direction.
• To remove the DIMM modules, push the two ejector tabs on the slot outward
simultaneously, and then pull out the DIMM module.
Note: (1) Please do not change any DDR SDRAM parameter in BIOS setup to
increase your system’s performance without acquiring technical
information in advance.
(2) Static electricity can damage the electronic components of the computer
or optional boards. Before starting these procedures, ensure that you
are discharged of static electricity by touching a grounded metal object
briefly.

2.3 Jumper and Connector List
You can configure your board to match the needs of your application by setting jumpers. A
jumper is the simplest kind of electric switch.
It consists of two metal pins and a small metal clip (often protected by a plastic cover) that
slides over the pins to connect them. To “close” a jumper you connect the pins with the clip.
To “open” a jumper you remove the clip. Sometimes a jumper will have three pins, labeled 1,
2, and 3. In this case, you would connect either two pins.
The jumper settings are schematically depicted in this manual as follows:
A pair of needle-nose pliers may be helpful when working with jumpers.
Connectors on the board are linked to external devices such as hard disk drives, a
keyboard, or floppy drives. In addition, the board has a number of jumpers that allow you to
configure your system to suit your application.
If you have any doubts about the best hardware configuration for your application, contact
your local distributor or sales representative before you make any changes.
The following tables list the function of each of the board's jumpers and connectors.

link. The mode of this differential signal pair is controlled through the RTS
register of Serial Port 2. Set the RTS register of the Serial Port 2 to LOW for
transmitting, HIGH for receiving.
Do not select a mode different from the one used by the connected peripheral,
as this may damage CPU board and/or peripheral.
The transmitter drivers in the port are short circuit protected by a thermal
protection circuit. The circuit disables the drivers when the die temperature
reaches 150 °C.
RS-422 mode is typically used in point to point communication. Data and
control signal pairs should be terminated in the receiver end with a resistor
matching the cable impedance (typical 100-120 Ω). The resistors could be
placed in the connector housing.
RS-485 mode is typically used in multi drop applications, where more than 2
units are communicating. The data and control signal pairs should be
terminated in each end of the communication line with a resistor matching the
cable impedance (typical 100-120 Ω). Stubs to substations should be
avoided.

This clock signal may vary in frequency from 2.5 MHz to 25.0 MHz depending on
the setup made in the BIOS. Frequencies above 16 MHz are not recommended.
The standard states 6 MHz to 8.33 MHz, but most new adapters are able to handle
higher frequencies. The PC-AT/PC104 bus timing is based on this clock signal.
This is a clock signal with a 14.31818 MHz ± 50 ppm frequency and a 50 ± 5%

User’s Manual
3.1 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 Setup program can be activated in one of two ways:
By pressing <Del> immediately after switching the system on, or
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

3.4 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 which 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 your systems 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.

3.5.3 Advanced Chipset Features
This section allows you to configure 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 because 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.
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.

AWARD BIOS POST
Messages
96 ECM-5510 User’s Manual
User’s Manual
Overview
During the Power On Self-Test (POST), if the BIOS detects an error requiring you to do
something to fix, it will either sound a beep code or display a message.
If a message is displayed, it will be accompanied by:
PRESS F1 TO CONTINUE OR PRESS DEL TO ENTER SETUP
Post Beep
Currently there are two kinds of beep codes in BIOS. This code indicates that a video error
has occurred and the BIOS cannot initialize the video screen to display any additional
information. This beep code consists of a single long beep followed by two short beeps.
The other code indicates that your DRAM error has occurred. This beep code consists of a
single long beep repeatedly.
Error Messages
The following messages are examples of messages including errors detected by the BIOS
during POST and a description of what they mean and/or what you may do to correct the
error.
1. CMOS BATTERY HAS FAILED
CMOS battery is no longer functional. It should be replaced.
2. CMOS CHECKSUM ERROR
Checksum of CMOS is incorrect. This can indicate that CMOS has become corrupt. This
error may have been caused by a weak battery. Check the battery and replace if
necessary.
3. DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER
No boot device was found. This could mean that either a boot drive was not detected or the
drive does not contain proper system boot files. Insert a system disk into Drive A: and
press <Enter>. If you assumed the system would boot from the hard drive, make sure the
controller is inserted correctly and all cables are properly attached. Also be sure the disk
is formatted as a boot device. Then reboot the system.
4. DISKETTE DRIVES OR TYPES MISMATCH ERROR - RUN SETUP
Type of diskette drive installed in the system is different from the CMOS definition. Run
Setup to reconfigure the drive type correctly.
ECM-5510 User’s Manual
97
ECM-5510
5. DISPLAY SWITCH IS SET INCORRECTLY
Display switch on the motherboard can be set to either monochrome or color. This indicates
the switch is set to a different setting than indicated in Setup. Determine which setting is
correct, and then either turn off the system and change the jumper, or enter Setup and
change the VIDEO selection.
6. DISPLAY TYPE HAS CHANGED SINCE LAST BOOT
Since last powering off the system, the display adapter has been changed. You must
configure the system for the new display type.
7. EISA Configuration Checksum Error
PLEASE RUN EISA CONFIGURATION UTILITY
The EISA non-volatile RAM checksum is incorrect or cannot correctly read the EISA slot.
This can indicate either the EISA non-volatile memory has become corrupt or the slot has
been configured incorrectly. Also be sure the card is installed firmly in the slot.
8. EISA Configuration Is Not Complete
PLEASE RUN EISA CONFIGURATION UTILITY
The slot configuration information stored in the EISA non-volatile memory is incomplete.
Note: When either of these errors appears, the system will boot in ISA mode,
which allows you to run the EISA Configuration Utility.
9. ERROR ENCOUNTERED INITIALIZING HARD DRIVE
Hard drive cannot be initialized. Be sure the adapter is installed correctly and all cables are
correctly and firmly attached. Also be sure the correct hard drive type is selected in Setup.
10. ERROR INITIALIZING HARD DISK CONTROLLER
Cannot initialize controller. Make sure the cord is correctly and firmly installed in the bus.
Be sure the correct hard drive type is selected in Setup. Also check to see if any jumper
needs to be set correctly on the hard drive.
11. FLOPPY DISK CNTRLR ERROR OR NO CNTRLR PRESENT
Cannot find or initialize the floppy drive controller. Make sure the controller is installed
correctly and firmly. If there are no floppy drives installed, be sure the Diskette Drive
selection in Setup is set to NONE.

12. Invalid EISA Configuration
PLEASE RUN EISA CONFIGURATION UTILITY
The non-volatile memory containing EISA configuration information was programmed
incorrectly or has become corrupt. Re-run EISA configuration utility to correctly program the
memory.
Note: When either of these errors appears, the system will boot in ISA mode,
which allows you to run the EISA Configuration Utility.
13. KEYBOARD ERROR OR NO KEYBOARD PRESENT
Cannot initialize the keyboard. Make sure the keyboard is attached correctly and no keys
are being pressed during the boot.
If you are purposely configuring the system without a keyboard, set the error halt condition
in Setup to HALT ON ALL, BUT KEYBOARD. This will cause the BIOS to ignore the
missing keyboard and continue the boot.
14. Memory Address Error at ...
Indicates a memory address error at a specific location. You can use this location along
with the memory map for your system to find and replace the bad memory chips.
15. Memory parity Error at ...
Indicates a memory parity error at a specific location. You can use this location along with
the memory map for your system to find and replace the bad memory chips.
16. MEMORY SIZE HAS CHANGED SINCE LAST BOOT
Memory has been added or removed since the last boot. In EISA mode use Configuration
Utility to reconfigure the memory configuration. In ISA mode enter Setup and enter the new
memory size in the memory fields.
17. Memory Verify Error at ...
Indicates an error verifying a value already written to memory. Use the location along with
your system's memory map to locate the bad chip.
18. OFFENDING ADDRESS NOT FOUND
This message is used in conjunction with the I/O CHANNEL CHECK and RAM PARITY
ERROR messages when the segment that has caused the problem cannot be isolated.
19. OFFENDING SEGMENT:
This message is used in conjunction with the I/O CHANNEL CHECK and RAM PARITY
ERROR messages when the segment that has caused the problem has been isolated.

22. RAM PARITY ERROR - CHECKING FOR SEGMENT ...
Indicates a parity error in Random Access Memory.
23. Should Be Empty But EISA Board Found
PLEASE RUN EISA CONFIGURATION UTILITY
A valid board ID was found in a slot that was configured as having no board ID.
Note: When either of these errors appears, the system will boot in ISA mode,
which allows you to run the EISA Configuration Utility.
24. Should Have EISA Board But Not Found
PLEASE RUN EISA CONFIGURATION UTILITY
The board installed is not responding to the ID request, or no board ID has been found in
the indicated slot.
Note: When either of these errors appears, the system will boot in ISA mode,
which allows you to run the EISA Configuration Utility.
25. Slot Not Empty
Indicates that a slot designated as empty by the EISA Configuration Utility actually contains
a board.
Note: When either of these errors appears, the system will boot in ISA mode,
