Introduction

The ROCKY-3706EV/EVG ATX/AT main board is a high­performance computer mainboard based on RCC® LE-T / LC-T
chipset. The ROCKY-3706EV/EVG is designed for Socket370
base processor for high-performance server markets.
The Champion’s North Bridge “CNB30” provide an integrated
high-performance main memory subsystem, a dual PCI bus
bridge that provides a high-performance data flow path between
the Processor bus and 64-bit PCI Bus, and a 32-bit PCI Bus.
The LE-T / LC-T is a Socket-370 system logic north bridge
with the addition of 133 MHz capability for both the CPU and
registered SDRAM interfaces. LE-T / LC-T may be used to
implement desktop personal computer systems from 100MHz
to 133MHz based on Socket-370 (Pentium
primary features of the CNB30-North Bridge are: Socket-370
CPU (Front Side Bus) Interface (100 / 133MHz), registered
SDRAM Memory Interface (100 / 133MHz), 64bitPCI Bus
Interface (33/66MHz), 32bitPCI Bus Interface (33MHz).

If want to clear the CMOS Setup(for example forgot the
password, you should clear the CMOS and then set the
password again.), you should close the JP10 (2-3) for about 3
seconds, then open again. This will set back to normal
operation mode.

BIOS Setup

4.1 Introduction

This chapter discusses the Setup program built into the BIOS. The
Setup program allows users to configure the system. This configuration
is then stored in battery-backed CMOS RAM so that it retains the Setup
information while the power is off.

4.2 Starting Setup

The BIOS is immediately active when you turn on the computer. 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 Self­Test).

Press DEL to run SETUP.

OnBoard Parallel Port

This option specifies the base I/O port address of parallel port on the motherboard. The settings
are Disabled, 378h, 278h, or 3BCh.

Parallel Port Mode

This option specifies the parallel port mode. The settings are Normal, Bi-Dir, EPP, ECP.

Normal

The normal parallel port mode is used.

Bi-Dir

Use this setting to support bidirectional transfers on the parallel port.

EPP

The parallel port can be used with devices that adhere to the Enhanced Parallel Port(EPP)
specification. EPP uses the existing parallel port signals to provide asymmetric bidirectional data
transfer driven by the host device.

ECP

The parallel port can be used with devices that adhere to the Entended Capabilities Port(ECP)
specification. ECP uses the DMA protocol to achieve data transfer rates up to 2.5 Megabits per
second. ECP provides symmetric bidirectional communication.

Parallel Port IRQ

This option specifies the IRQ used by the parallel port. The settings are (IRQ)5, (IRQ)7.

Parallel Port DMA Channel

This option is only available if the setting for the Parallel Port Mode option is ECP. This option
sets the DMA channel used by the parallel port. The settings are DMA Channel 0, 1,2, or 3.

If your hard disk drive supports IDE block transfer mode, enable this option for faster IDE hard
disk drive transfer rate. The option only for Primary Master Block mode.

Primary/Secondary Master/Slave 32Bit Mode

This option enables Primary Master IDE 32-bit data transfers on the IDE data port. If disabled,16­bit data transfer is used by the BIOS.32-bit data transfers can only be enabled if IDE prefetch
mode is also enabled.

Primary/Secondary Master/Slave PIO Mode

This option enables Primary Master IDE PIO mode on the IDE may have to set to proper cycle

from the pool of available IRQs passed to devices that are configurable by the system BIOS. The

from the pool, the end user can use the option to reserve the IRQ by assigning an ISA setting to it.

Appendix A. Watch-Dog Timer

The WatchDog Timer is a device to ensure that standalone systems
can always recover from abnormal conditions that cause the system to
crash. These conditions may result from an external EMI or a software
bug. When the system stops working, hardware on the board will
perform hardware reset (cold boot) to bring the system back to a known
state.

Three I/O ports control the operation of WatchDog Timer.

443 (hex) Write Set WatchDog Time period
443 (hex) Read Enable the refresh the Watchdog Timer.
043/843 (hex) Read Disable the Watchdog Timer.

Prior to enable the Watchdog Timer, user has to set the time-out period.
The resolution of the timer is 1 second and the range of the timer is
from 1 sec to 255 sec. You need to send the time-out value to the I/O
port – 443H, and then enable it by reading data from the same I/O port –
443H. 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
Watchdog Timer must be periodically refreshed by reading the same
I/O port 443H. This must be done within the time-out period that is set
by the software, please refer to the example program. Finally, we have
to disable the Watchdog timer by reading the I/O port -- 843H or 043H.
Otherwise the system could reset unconditionally.

A tolerance of at least 5% must be maintained to avoid unknown
routines in the operating system (DOS), such as disk I/O that can be
very time-consuming. Therefore if the time-out period has been set to
10 seconds, the I/O port 443H must be read within 7 seconds.

Example assembly program:

TIMER_PORT = 443H
TIMER_START = 443H
TIMER_STOP = 843H

Appendix B. E2 Key™ Function

The ROCKY-3706EV/EVG provides an outstanding E2KEY™
function for system integrator. Based on the E2KEY™, you can

free to store the ID Code, Password or Critical Data in the 1Kbit
EEPROM. Because the EEPROM is nonvolatile memory, you
don’t have to worry for losing very important data.

Basically the E2KEY™ is based on a 1Kbit EEPROM which is
configured to 64 words(from 0 to 63). You could access (read
or write) each word at any time.

When you start to use the E2KEY™ you should have the utility in
the package. The software utility will include four files as follows,

README.DOC
E2KEY.OBJ
EKEYDEMO.C
EKEYDEMO.EXE.

The E2KEY.OBJ provides two library functions for user to
integrate their application with E2KEY™ function. These library

(read_e2key and write_e2key) are written and compiled in C
language. Please check the following statement, then you will
know how to implement it easily.

unsigned int read_e2key(unsigned int address)

/* This function will return the E2KEY™’s data at address. The
address range is from 0 to 63. Return data is one word,16 bits

*/void write_e2key(unsigned int address,unsigned data)
/* This function will write the given data to E2KEY™ at certain

address. The address range is from 0 to 63. The data value is
from 0 to 0xffff. */
To easily start to use the function, please refer to the included
EKEYDEMO.C code at first.

Appendix D. ATX Power Supply

The following notes show how to connect ATX Power Supply to the
backplanes and / or the ISBC card.

A. For backplanes with ATX Connector

1. Please, disconnect the AC cord of the Power Supply from the AC
source to prevent sudden electric surge to the board.

2. Please, check the type of your CPU board. All CPU board listed on
the next page support ATX power supply but has two types of
power switch connection:

2.1. ROCKY-3706EV/EVG (through Power Button & GND):

Connect the ATX power button switch to the pin 1 (power button)
and pin 2 (+5VSB) of CON2 on the board. And connect the
power cable from CN2 of backplane to CON2 of CPU card.
If you want to turn ON the system, just press the button once.
And If you want to turn off the power supply, please press the
ATX power switch button for about 4 seconds.

44

B. For the backplanes with ATX power supply

connector

For some SBC without ATX power ON/OFF function, then you can
control the ATX power supply through backplane’s PS ON
connector. Refer to the figure below: for the backplanes with ATX
connector, the connection can be made simply as following:

1. Connect the ON/OFF (ordinary one) switch to Pin 2 (PS ON) and
Pin 3 (GND) of connector CN2

2. You may now turn the power ON/OFF by the power switch
