3.0 BIOS and software description

This section provides an overview of BIOS, SETUP, and system software.

3.1 Setup

The POST CMOS Setup Utility program provides menus for querying and configuration the system. The menus can be navigated using touch OR a keyboard attached to a USB or PS/2 port.

The CMOS Setup Configuration Utility has optional password protection. The password can be entered through on screen keypad or keyboard, and can only be numerical. If the password is forgotten, it can be cleared using the CMOS Clear Jumper located on the main card.

3.4 BIOS Interrupts

This section lists the supported interrupt in DOS. Refer to the IBM Personal System/2 and Personal Computer BIOS Interface Technical Reference for additional information.

• Int 02h – NMI

• Int 05h - Print Scree n

• Memory Location 50:00h.

This is a byte memory location. A value of 00h indicates that the print screen successfully completed or was not invoked. A value of 01h indicates that a print screen is in progress and subsequent print screens are ignored. A value of FFh indicates that the print screen terminated due to an error.

• Int 08h - System Timer This interrupt modifies memory locations 40:6Ch, 40:70h, 40:40h, and 40:3Fh. It also invokes interrupt 1Ch.

• Memory Location 40:6Ch This dword is incremented every Int 08h tick or 18.2 times per second. The memory location is reset to 00000000h when a 24-hour duration has elapsed.

• Memory Location 40:70h This byte has a value of 00h until a 24 hour duration has elapsed. It is then set to 01h. The byte must be manually reset back to 00h.

• Memory Location 40:40h This byte is decremented every interrupt 08h tick or 18.2 times per second. If the timer goes to 00h, the floppy motor is turned off and resets the floppy flags in memory location 40:3Fh.

• Int 09h – Keyboard Called on every make or break keystroke. The 32-byte buffer starting at 40:1Eh is updated at the address pointed by the keyboard buffer tail pointer. The keyboard buffer tail pointer at memory location 40:1Ch is incremented by 2 unless it extends past the keyboard buffer, in which case it wraps. When a key is read, the keyboard buffer head pointer at memory location 40:1Ah is incremented by 2 unless it extends pass the keyboard buffe r, in which case it wraps. Special keys such as CTRL, ALT, or Shift update the status at memory location 40:17h, 40:18h and 40:96h. A CTRL-ALT-DELETE key sequence sets the reset flag at memory location 40:72h to 1234h and jumps to the reset vector.

Pressing the Pause key causes the interrupt handler to loop until a valid ASCII keystroke occurs. Pressing the Print Screen key causes an Interrupt 05h to be issued. A CTRL-BREAK sequence causes Interrupt 1Bh to be issued. Pressing the SysReq key causes Interrupt 15h Function 85h (System Request Key Pressed) to be issued. Any make keystroke causes Interrupt 15h Function 91h, Subfunction 02h (Interrupt complete from Keyboard) to be

issued. After any scan code is read from I/O port 60h and Int 15h, Function 4Fh (Keyboard Intercept) is issued. An EOI is

issued upon returning from the Keyboard Intercept.

• Memory Location 40:1Eh This location is the start of a 32-byte keyboard buffer.

• Memory Location 40:1Ah This word points to the next character in the keyboard buffer.

• Memory Location 40:1Ch This word points to the last character in the keyboard buffer. If the value equals the value in memory location 40:1Ah, the keyboard buffer is empty. If the value is two bytes from the contents of memory location 40:1Ah, the keyboard buffer is full.

• Memory Location 40:17h This byte contains the keyboard status byte.

• Memory Location 40:18h This byte contains the extended keyboard status byte.

Page 22 of 63

SurePOS 500 4846-XX5 Technical Reference

• Memory Location 40:96h This word contains the extended keyboard status.

• Memory Location 40:72h This word contains the soft reset flag.

• Int 10h – Video This interrupt is supported by the video ROM. Int 11h - Equipment Determination

Returns the data at memory location 40:10h.

• Memory Location 40:10h This word contains the equipment list.

• Int 12h - Base Memory Size Returns the value at memory location 40:13h.

• Memory Location 40:13h This word contains the amount of memory up to 640 KB. This count will often be less than 640 KB due to NIC ROM bootloaders.

• Int 13h - HDD and Floppy Diskette Serv ices

• Int 14h - Serial Communication Services

• Int 15h - System Services

Sub functions are those defined by the IBM Personal System/2 and Personal Computer BIOS Interface Technical Reference manual. Additional sub function support is OEM dependent.

• Int 16h - Keyboard Services

• Int 1Ah - System-Timer Services, PCI BIOS

• Int 1Bh – CTRL+Break Handler

• Int 1Ch - Periodic Tim er Interrupt

• Int 1Dh - Video Parameter Table

Set by the video BIOS

• Int 1Eh - Floppy Diskette Drive Parameters Points to an 11-byte data structure

• Int 1Fh - Video Graphics Characters Set by the video BIOS

• Int 23h - CTRL+C, CTRL+Break Handler

• Int 41h - HDD C: Drive Parameters

Points to a 16-byte data structure for drive C:

• Int 46h - HDD D: Drive Parameters Points to a 16-byte data structure for drive D:

Serial Port D Function

This option controls the Serial Port D operation. The IBM Character Display (both integrated and distributed) and the IBM cash drawers share serial Port D. If you do

not use either type of these types of I/O devices, then serial port D is available as a fourth standard serial port. Port D is a 15-pin D-shell connector that includes power as well as the serial port signals. The system communicates with the displays in a unidirectional mode. The cash drawer operates in bi-directional mode. The cash drawer must be disabled when Serial D is used as a bi-directional COM port.

If you have at least one IBM cash drawer attached, you must specify the Cash Drawer setting as Enabled. The Disabled setting allows you to connect an OEM device to the Serial D port when a cash drawer is not present. If you use an IBM cash drawer, you can only attach an IBM character display (integrated or distributed) to the system.

Default: VFD/CD Enabled

Options:

• VFD/CD Enabled
