Embedded Board. It is equipped with high performance Intel®
Celeron up to 566MHz( or above ) and Pentium III ( FC-PGA )
866MHz ( or above ) Processor and advanced high performance
multi-mode I/O, designed for the system manufacturers,
integrators, or VARs that want to provide all the performance,
reliability, and quality at a reasonable price.

This board has a built-in IDE Interface CompactFlashDisk™
Flash Disk for embedded application. The CompactFlashDisk™
Flash Disk is 100% compatible to hard disk. User can use any
DOS command without any extra software utility. The Flash Disk
currently is available from 8MB to 128MB.

Two advanced high performance LPC super I/O chip – ITE
( IT8705F ) and NS ( NS87366 ) is used in the POS-370 board.
The on-chip UARTs are compatible with the NS16C550. The
parallel port and FDD interface are compatible with IBM PC/AT
architecture.

POS-370 uses the advanced SIS SIS630 Chipset which is
100% PCI compatible chipset with PCI 2.1 standard. In addition,
this board provides two 168-pin sockets for its on-board DRAM.
The DIMM module is 3.3V SDRAM and max. 512MB for each
module.

The VGA chip ( on chip sis300) used on POS-370 supports dual
view function which can display simultaneously on two monitors
when you enter WINDOWS 9X/NT/2K. In general, this function
is achieved by two VGA chips.

2.3 Unpacking Precautions

Some components on POS-370 are very sensitive to static electric
charges and can be damaged by a sudden rush of power. To protect
it from unintended damage, be sure to follow these precautions:

ü Ground yourself to remove any static charge before touching your

POS-370. You can do it by using a grounded wrist strap at all times
or by frequently touching any conducting materials that is connected
to the ground.

ü Handle your POS-370 by its edges. Don’t touch IC chips, leads or

circuitry if not necessary.

ü Do not plug any connector or jumper while the power is on.

ü Do not put your POS-370 unprotected on a flat surface because it

has components on both sides.

AWARD BIOS SETUP

4.1 Introduction

This manual discusses Award's Setup program built into the ROM BIOS. The
Setup program allows users to modify the basic system configuration. This
special information is then stored in battery-backed RAM so that it retains the
Setup information when the power is turned off.

4.2 Starting Setup

The Award BIOS 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:

1. By pressing <Del> immediately after switching the system on, or

2. 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

4.3 Using Setup

In general, you use the arrow keys to highlight items, press <Enter> to select,
use the PageUp and PageDown keys to change entries, press <F1> for help and
press <Esc> to quit. The following table provides more detail about how to
navigate in the Setup program using the keyboard.

4.4 Getting Help

Press F1 to pop up a small help window that describes the appropriate keys to
use and the possible selections for the highlighted item. To exit the Help
Window press <Esc> or the F1 key again.

If, after making and saving system changes with Setup, you discover that your
computer no longer is able to boot, the Award BIOS 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.

Advanced DRAM Control 1 / 2 Settings

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.

1 min to 255 min. You need to send the time-out value to the I/O port –
440H, and then enable it by write data from the same I/O port –
440H( value is 01h-ffh ). This will activate the timer that will eventually
time out and reset the CPU board. To ensure that this reset condition
won’t occur, the Watch-Dog Timer must be periodically refreshed by
write the same I/O port 440H( the same value is 01h-ffh ). This must be
done within the time-out period, please refer to the example program.
Finally, we have to disable the Watch-Dog timer by write the I/O port -­440H ( value is 0h ). Otherwise the system could reset unconditionally.

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, CTRL-ALT-ESC OR 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 three short beeps. The other code indicates that your DRAM
error has occurred. This beep code consists of a single long beep repeatedly.

Error Messages

One or more of the following messages may be displayed if the BIOS detects an
error during the POST. This list includes messages for both the ISA and the
EISA BIOS.

How to Upgrade a New BIOS

You can install an upgrade BIOS for the POS-370 that you can
download from the manufacturer’s web site ( www.e-icp.com.tw ).
New BIOS may provide support for new
peripherals ,improvements in performance or fixes to address
known bugs.

BIOS Update Procedure:

1. Make a boot disk. Go to the DOS command prompt in MS-DOS
or Windows 9x and, with an available floppy disk in "A", type
"format A: /s" That will format the floppy and transfer the needed
system files to it.

NOTES:
A. This procedure will erase any prior data on that floppy, so
please Proceed accordingly.
B. Typically four files will be transferred, only COMMAND.COM
being visible when running a simple directory listing.
C. Please leave the diskette UN-write protected for the balance of
this procedure.

2. Download the BIOS upgrade file and awdflash.exe utility from
a ICP web site to a temp directory on your hard drive, or directly
to the floppy you made in step 1..

3. Copy ( BIOS file and awdflash.exe )two files to the boot floppy.

4. Reboot the system to the DOS command prompt using the
boot diskette you just made.
