Th e B IOS reads the system info rmation co n tained in the CM OS 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:

AWARD BIOS SETUP
4.1 Introduction
This manual discusses Award's Setup program built into the ROM BIOS. The
Setup program allows u sers to modify th e 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.
The Award BIOS installed in your computer system’s ROM (Read Only Memory)
is a custom version of an ind ustry standard BIOS. This means that it supports
Intel PGA370 processors in a standard IBM-AT compatible input/output system.
The BIOS provides critical low-level support for standard devices such as disk
drives and serial and parallel ports.
The Award BIOS has been customized by adding important, but non-standard,
features such as virus and password protection as well as special support for
detailed fine-tuning of th e chipset con trolling the entire system.
The rest of this manual is intended to guide you through the process of
co nfig u rin g your system u sing Setup.
4.2 Starting Setup
1. By pressing <Del> immediately after sw itc h ing 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 ask ed 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.

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 setting s which resets your system to its defaults.
4.5 Main Menu
Once you enter the Award BIOS CMOS Setup Utility, the Main Menu will appear
on the screen. The Main Menu allows you to select from several setup functions
and two exit choices. Use the arrow keys to select
among the items and press <Enter> to accept and enter the sub-menu.
Note that a brief description of each highlighted selection appears at the bottom
of the screen.
Setup Items
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.

Appendix A. Watch-Dog Timer
52
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
Three I/O ports control the operation of WatchDog Timer.
state.
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 C. 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-3722EVS (through Power Button & GND):
Connect the ATX power button switch to the pin 18 (power
button) and pin 20 (+5VSB) of CN13 on the board. And connect
the power cable from backplane to CN13 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.
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

Appendix D. How to use Wake-Up Function
The ROCKY-3722EVS provides two kind of Wake Up Function.
This page describes how to use Modem Wake-Up and LAN Wake-Up
function.
Wake-Up function is working while you use ATX power supply,
PowerOn By Ring/LAN :
You must set the option Power On By Ring/LAN of CMOS SETUP
to be enabled. The ATX power supply will be switched on when there is
a ring signal detected on pin “RI” of serial port.
When your computer is in power-down status, you can see LAN
Link/Active LED is flashing. This status indicates that the LAN chip has
entered standby mode and waits for Wake-Up signal. You can use other
computers to wake up your computer by sending ID to it.
: ID is the address of your system LAN. Every LAN chip has a factory-
ID
set ID which you can find it from network information in WINDOWS.
ID’s form a t is xxxxxxxxxxxx
Example ID: 009027388320
