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 activ ated 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

24

4.3 Using Setup

In general, you can 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 details about how to navigate in the Setup
program using the keyboard.

DRAM Clock

This item allows you to control the DRAM speed.
The Choice: Host Clock, HCLK-33M, HCLK+33M.

SDRAM Cycle Length

When synchronous DRAM is installed, the number of clock cycles of CAS
latency depends on the DRAM timing. Do not reset this field from the default
value specified by the system designer.

The Choice: 2, 3.

Memory Hole

In order to improve performance, certain space in memory is reserved for
ISA cards. This memory must be mapped into the memory space below
16MB.

The Choice: 15M-16M, Disabled.

This section allows you to configure the system based on the specific
features of the installed chipset. This chipset manages bus speeds and
access to system memory resources, such as DRAM and the external cache.
It also coordinates communications between the conventional ISA bus and
the PCI bus. It must be stated that these items should never need to be
altered. The default settings have been chosen because they provide the
best operating conditions for your system. The only time you might consider
making any changes would be if you discovered that data was being lost
while using your system.

DRAM 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.

DRAM Timing By SPD

This item allows you to select the value in this field, depending on whether
the board has paged DRAMs or EDO (extended data output) DRAMs.

37

P2c/C2P Concurrency

This item allows you to enable/disable the PCI to CPU, CPU to PCI
concurrency.

The choice: Enabled, Disabled.

System BIOS Cacheable

Selecting Enabled allows caching of the system BIOS ROM at F0000h­FFFFFh, resulting in better system performance. However, if any program
writes to this memory area, a system error may result.

The Choice: Enabled, Disabled.

OnChip USB

This should be enabled if your system has a USB installed on the system
board and you want to use it. Even when so equipped, if you add a higher
performance controller, you will need to disable this feature.

The Choice: Enabled, Disabled.

USB Keyboard Support

38

Select Enabled if your system contains a Universal Serial Bus (USB)
controller and you have a USB keyboard.

The Choice: Enabled, Disabled.

4.8 Integrated Peripherals

OnChip Sound

This item allows you to control the onboard AC 97 audio.

The Choice: Auto, Disabled.

CPU to PCI Write Buffer

When this field is Enabled, writes from the CPU to the PCI bus are buffered,
to compensate for the speed differences between the CPU and the PCI bus.
When Disabled, the writes are not buffered and the CPU must wait until the
write is complete before starting another write cycle.

The Choice: Enabled,Disabled.

PCI Dynamic Bursting

When Enabled, every write transaction goes to the write buffer. Burstable
transactions then burst on the PCI bus and nonburstable transactions don’t.

The Choice: Enabled,Disabled.

PCI Master 0 WS Write

When Enabled, writes to the PCI bus are executed with zero wait states.

The Choice: Enabled,Disabled.

PCI Delay Transaction

The chipset has an embedded 32-bit posted write buffer to support delay
transactions cycles. Select Enabled to support compliance with PCI
specification version 2.1.

The Choice: Enabled,Disabled.

PCI#2 Access #1 Retry

When disabled, PCI#2 will not be disconnected until access finishes (difault).
When enabled, PCI#2 will be disconnected if max retries are attempted
without success.

The Choice: Enabled,Disabled.

When On of PCI Master, any activity from one of the listed system peripheral
devices wakes up the system.

Wake Up On LAN/Ring

An input signal on the serial Ring Indicator (RI) line (in other words, an
incoming call on the modem) and LAN WOL awakens the system from a
soft off state.

RTC Alarm Resume

When Enabled, your can set the date and time at which the RTC (real-time
clock) alarm awakens the system from Suspend mode.
The following is a list of IRQ’s, Interrupt ReQuests, which can be exempted
much as the COM ports and LPT ports above can. When an I/O device
wants to gain the attention of the operating system, it signals this by causing
an IRQ to occur. When the operating system is ready to respond to the
request, it interrupts itself and performs the service.

When set On, activity will neither prevent the system from going into a power
management mode nor awaken it.

4.14 Supervisor/User Password Setting

You can set either supervisor or user password, or both of then. The
differences between are:

52

supervisor password :
can enter and change the options of the setup menus.

user password :
just can only enter but do not have the right to change the options of
the setup menus. When you select this function, the following
message will appear at the center of the screen to assist you in
creating a password.

ENTER PASSWORD:

Pressing <Enter> on this item asks for confirmation:

Save to CMOS and EXIT (Y/N)? Y

Pressing “Y” stores the selections made in the menus in
CMOS – a special section of memory that stays on after you
turn your system off. The next time you boot your computer,
the BIOS configures your system according to the Setup
selections stored in CMOS. After saving the values the
system is restarted again.

Type the password, up to eight characters in length, and press
<Enter>. The password typed now will clear any previously entered
password from CMOS memory. You will be asked to confirm the
password. Type the password again and press <Enter>. You may
also press <Esc> to abort the selection and not enter a password.

To disable a password, just press <Enter> when you are prompted to
enter the password. A message will confirm the password will be
disabled. Once the password is disabled, the system will boot and
you can enter Setup freely.

PASSWORD DISABLED.

When a password has been enabled, you will be prompted to enter it
every time you try to enter Setup. This prevents an unauthorized
person from changing any part of your system configuration.

Additionally, when a password is enabled, you can also require the
BIOS to request a password every time your system is rebooted. This
would prevent unauthorized use of your computer.

You determine when the password is required within the BIOS
Features Setup Menu and its Security option (see Section 3). If the
Security option is set to password will be required both at boot and at
entry to Setup. If set to “Setup”, prompting only occurs when trying to
enter Setup.

4.15 Exit Selecting

Save & Exit Setup

Exit Without Saving

Pressing <Enter> on this item asks for confirmation:

Quit without saving (Y/N)? Y

This allows you to exit Setup without storing in CMOS any
change. The previous selections remain in effect. This exits
the Setup utility and restarts your computer.

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

53

54

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 W atchdog 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 W atchdog 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 W atchdog 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

To easily start to use the function, please refer to the included
EKEYDEMO.C code at first.

The ROCKY-3742EVFG provides an outstanding E2KEY™
function for system integrator. Based on the E

2

KEY™, 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 E

2

KEY™ 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 E

2

KEY™ 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 E

library

(read_e2key and write_e2key)

2

KEY™ function. These

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 E

2

KEY™’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 E

2

KEY™ at certain
address. The address range is from 0 to 63. The data value is
from 0 to 0xffff. */

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-3742EVFG (through Power Button & GND):

Connect the ATX power button switch to the pin 1 (power
button) and pin 2 (+5VSB) of CN26 on the board. And connect
the power cable from CN4 of backplane to CN27 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 E. How to use Wake-Up
Function

The ROCKY-3742EVFG provides two kind of W ake Up Function.
This page describes how to use Modem W ake-Up and LAN Wake-Up
function.
Wake-Up function is working while you use ATX power supply,

Wake-Up By Modem Ring On:
You must set the option Wake Up On LAN/Ring 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.

Wake-Up On LAN (for Intel 82559 LAN-chip):
You must set the option Wake Up On LAN/Ring of CMOS
SETUP to be enabled. 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

ID
factory-

set ID which you can find it from network information in

WINDOWS.

ID’s format is xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx
