Chapter 1. Introduction
The ROCKY-C400 ATX/AT main board is a high-performance
computer mainboard based on the VIA
VT8601T and VT82C686B chipset. It is designed fo r IN TEL®
CELERON® processor, making it an ideal product for costeffective CPU board markets.
The VIA® Apollo PLE133 (VT8601T) is a INTEL® CELERON®
processor system logic north bridge with the addition of 133
MHz capability for both the CPU and SDRAM interfaces. VIA®
Apollo PLE133 may be used t o implement both desktop and
notebook personal computer systems from 100MHz to 133MHz
based on CELERON®. The primary features of the VIA®
Apollo PLE133-North Bridge are: INTEL® CELERON® CPU
(Front Side Bus) Interface (100 / 133MHz), SDRAM Memory
Interface (100 / 133MHz), 32-bit PCI with Integrated 2D / 3D
graphics accelerator.
®
Apollo PLE133
The VT82C686B PSIPC (PCI Super-I/O Integrated Peripheral
Controller) is a high integ ration, high performance, powerefficient, and high compatibility device that supports both
Intel and non-Intel based processors to PCI bus bridge
functionality, ensuring a complete Microsoft PC99-compliant
PCI/ISA system.

2.2 Clear CMOS Setup
To clear the CMOS Setup (for example if you have forgotten
the password, you should clear the CMOS and then re-set the
password), you should close the JBAT1 (2-3) for about 3
seconds, then open it once more. This will s et back to normal

Chapter 4. BIOS Setup
4.1 Introduction
This chapter discusses the Setup program built into the BIOS.
which allows users to configure the system. This configuration
is then stored in battery-backed CMOS RAM so that Setup
information is retained whilst the power is o f f.
4.2 Starting Setup
The BIOS is immediately active when you turn on the
computer. While the BIOS is activated, the Setup program can
be entered 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 run SETUP.

Primary/Secondary Master/Slave LBA Mode
LBA(Logical Block Addressing) is a new IDE HDD access
method to developed to overcome the 528-megabyte
capacity bottleneck. If your IDE hard disk capacity is
greater than 528MB, AMIBIOS can enable this LBA mode
feature. The option is only for Primary Master IDE LBA
mode.
Primary/Secondary Master/Slave Block Mode
If your hard disk drive supports IDE block transfer mode,
enable this option for a faster IDE hard disk drive transfer
rate. The option is only for Primary Master Block mode.
Primary/Secondary Master/Slave PIO Mode
This option enables Primary Master IDE PIO mode on the
IDE, which can set proper cycle timings. The cycle timing
between the IDE PIO mode value and IDE cycle timing is
shown below :
Mode 0 -> Timing ( 600ns ) Mode 1 -> Timing ( 383ns )
Mode 2 -> Timing ( 240ns ) Mode 3 -> Timing ( 180ns )
Mode 4 -> Timing ( 120ns ) Mode 5 -> Timing ( 60ns )
Primary/Secondary Master/Slave 32Bit Mode
This option enables Primary Master IDE 32-bit data
transfers on the IDE data port. If disabled,16-bit data
transfer is used by the BIOS.32-bit data transfers can only
be enabled if IDE prefetch mode is also enabled.
Boot Sector Virus Protection
When this option is enabled, AMIBIOS issues a warning
when any program or virus issues a Disk Format command
or attempts to write to the boot sector of the hard disk
drive. The settings are Disabled, Enabled.

IRQ3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 14, 15
The option specifies the bus that the specified IRQ line is
used on. The user can reserve IRQs for legacy ISA adapter
cards whilst determinin g if AMIBIOS should remove an IRQ
from the pool of available IRQs passed to devices that are
configurable by the system BIOS. The available IRQ pool is
determined by reading the ESCD NVRAM. If more IRQs
need to be removed from the pool, the user can optionally

Appendix A. Watch-Dog Timer
The WatchDog Timer is a device which ensure that standalone
systems can 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 a hardware reset (cold
boot) to bring the system back to a functioning state.
Three I/O ports control the operation of WatchDog Timer.
443 (hex) Write Set WatchDog Time period
443 (hex) Read
043/843
Read Disable the Watchdog Timer.
(hex)
Prior to enabling the Watchdog Timer, the user has to set the
time-out period. The range of the timer is 1 to 255 sec, set in
increments of 1 second. The user will need to send the timeout value to the I/O port – 443H, and then enable it by
reading data from the same I/O port. This will activate the
timer that will eventually time out and check and monitor the
CPU board. This must be done within the time-out period that
is set by the software, For additional help, please refer to the
example program. Finally, disable the Watchdog timer by
reading the I/O port -843H or 043H - otherwise the system
could reset unconditionally.
Enable the refresh the Watchdog
Timer.
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 th e timeout period has been set to 10 seconds, the I/O port 443H
must be read within 7 seconds.

Appendix B. E2 Key™ Function
The ROCKY-C400 pro v ides an outstanding E2KEY™ function
for system integrators. Based on the E
Passwords or Critic al Data can be stored in the 1Kbit EEPROM.
Because the EEPROM is non-volatile memory, you don’t have
to worry about losing important data.
The E
2
KEY™ is based on a 1Kbit EEPROM which is configured
to 64 words(from 0 to 63). The user can access (read or write)
each word at any time.
When you start to use the E
2
KEY™ the utility is already in the
package. The software utility will include four files as follows,
README.DOC
E2KEY.OBJ
EKEYDEMO.C
EKEYDEMO.EXE.
2
KEY™, ID Code,
The E2KEY.OBJ provides two library functions for the user to
2
integrate in to their application with E
KEY™ function. These
library functions (read_e2key and write_e2key) are
written and compiled in C language. Please check the
following statement, in order to easily implement it.
unsigned int read_e2key(unsigned int address)
2
/* This funct ion w ill ret urn t he E
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)
2
/* This function will write the given data to the E
KEY™ at a
certain address. The address range is from 0 to 63. The data
value is from 0 to 0xffff. */
To start using the function, please refer to the included
EKEYDEMO.C code.

Appendix D. ATX Power Supply
The following notes show how to connect the ATX Power
Supply to the backplanes and / or the ISBC card.
A. For backplanes with an ATX
Connector
1.
First disconnect the AC cord of the Power Supply from the
AC source to prevent sudden electrical surge to the board.
2.
Next, check the type of your CPU board. All CPU boards
listed on the next page support ATX power supply but
have two types of power switch connection:
2.1. ROCKY-C400 (through Power Button & GND):
Connect the ATX power button switch to the pin 1
(power button) and pin 2 of the CN5 on the board,
and connect the power cable from backplane to CN9 of
the 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. (Please refer to diagram on
the next page.)
48
Page 49
B. For backplanes with an ATX power
supply connector
For some SBC with no ATX power ON/OFF function, the
user can control the ATX power supply via the backplane’s
PS ON connector. Refer to the figure below: for the
backplanes with ATX connector, the connection can be
made simply as follows:
1. Connect the ON/OFF switch to Pin 2 (PS ON) and Pin 1
(GND) of connector CN2
2. You may now turn the power On and OFF by using the
power switch

How to use the Wake-Up Function
The ROCKY-C400 provides two kind of Wake Up Function.
This page describes how to use the Modem Wake-Up and LAN
Wake-Up functions. Wake-Up function works whilst using ATX
power supply,
Wake-Up By Modem Ring On:
In CMOS SETUP, the user must set the option
LAN/Ring
on when there is a ring signal detected on the pin “RI” of the
serial port.
Wake-Up On LAN (for Intel 82559 LAN-chip):
In CMOS SETUP, the user must set the option
LAN/Ring
status, a LAN Link/Active LED is flashing. This status indicates
that the LAN chip has entered standby mode and is waiting for
a 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
ID
a factory- set ID which you can find it from network
information in WINDOWS.
ID’s format is xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx
Example ID: 00905C21D4D5
