CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 General Description
The “Signature Book™” SI-304 is a professional digital signage system powered
by 2nd Gen AMD Embedded R-series APU-based Signage Player with Radeon
9000 series graphics. The SI-304 integrates 4 HDMI ports with EDID emulation
function. Additionally, SI-304 has two dual-channel DDR3-2133 sockets to provide up
to 32GB of memory. It also has dual Gigabit Ethernet, one mSATA and NGFF drive
and IBASE’s iSMART green technology for power on/off scheduling and power resume
functions. The ruggedized design player’s chassis provides passive cooling for better
system reliability and quiet operation.

SI-304 overview
** The integrated four HDMI interface has built-in EDID emulation function. To use
the EDID function, turn off the power first. Then, connect the new display port. After
you turn on the power, SI-304 will detect new EDID data.

CHAPTER 3 BIOS SETUP
This chapter describes the different settings available in the AMI BIOS that comes
with the board. The topics covered in this chapter are as follows:
3.1 BIOS Introduction
The BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) installed in your computer system’s ROM
supports Intel processors. The BIOS provides critical low-level support for a standard
device such as disk drives, serial ports and parallel ports. It also password protection
as well as special support for detailed fine-tuning of the chipset controlling the entire
system.
3.2 BIOS Setup
The BIOS provides a Setup utility program for specifying the system configurations
and settings. The BIOS ROM of the system stores the Setup utility. When you turn on
the computer, the BIOS is immediately activated. Pressing the <Del> key immediately
allows you to enter the Setup utility. If you are a little bit late pressing the <Del> key,
POST (Power On Self Test) will continue with its test routines, thus preventing you from
invoking the Setup. If you still wish to enter Setup, restart the system by pressing
the ”Reset” button or simultaneously pressing the <Ctrl>, <Alt> and <Delete> keys.
You can also restart by turning the system Off and back On again. The following
message will appear on the screen:
Press <DEL> or <ESC> to Enter Setup
In general, you press the arrow keys to highlight items, <Enter> to select, the
<PgUp> and <PgDn> keys to change entries, <F1> for help and <Esc> to quit.
When you enter the Setup utility, the Main Menu screen will appear on the screen.
The Main Menu allows you to select from various setup functions and exit choices.

Link Training Retry
Defines number of Retry Attempts software will take to retrain the link if previous training attempt was
unsuccessful.
Link Training Timeout (uS)
Defines number of Microseconds software will wait before polling ‘Link Training’ bit in Link Status
register. Value range from 10 to 1000 uS.

SI-304 User Manual
Unpopulated Links
In order to save power, software will disable unpopulated PCI Express links, if this option set to
‘Disable Link’.
Restore PCIE Registers
On non-PCI Express aware OS’s (Pre Windows Vista)some devices may not be correctly
reinitialized after S3.Enabling this restors PCI Express device configuration on S3 resume
Warning : Enabling this may cause issues with other hardware after S3 resume.

B. I/O Port Address Map
Each peripheral device in the system is assigned a set of I/O port addresses, which
also becomes the identity of the device. The following table lists the I/O port
addresses used.
Peripheral devices use interrupt request lines to notify CPU for the service required.
The following table shows the IRQ used by the devices on board.

D. Watchdog Timer Configuration
The WDT is used to generate a variety of output signals after a user programmable count. The
WDT is suitable for use in the prevention of system lock-up, such as when software becomes
trapped in a deadlock. Under these sorts of circumstances, the timer will count to zero and the
selected outputs will be driven. Under normal circumstance, the user will restart the WDT at
regular intervals before the timer counts to zero.
