Chapter 4 AWARD BIOS Setup
This appendix discusses the Setup program built into the BIOS. The Setup
program enables 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.
4.1 Getting Started
The BIOS is immediately active when you turn on the computer. While the BIOS
is in control, the CMOS 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
In general, you can use the arrow keys to highlight items, press <Enter> to
select, use the Page Up and Page Down keys to change entries, press <F1> for
help and press <Esc> to quit. The table on the next page provides more details
about how to navigate in the Setup program using the keyboard.

You can set either the setup or the system password. Upon selecting this option,
you will see:
ENTER PASSWORD:
Type the password, up to eight characters in length, and press <Enter>. The
password typed now will replace any 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 the password protection, just press <Enter> when you are prompted
to enter the password. A message, like the one shown below, will confirm the
disabling of the password.
PASSWORD DISABLED.
Once the password is disabled, the system will reboot and you can enter Setup
freely.
37
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.
In addition, you can set the BIOS to prompt for a password every time the
system is started or restarted. This prevents the unauthorized use of your
computer. This can be set in the Security option in the BIOS Features Setup
Menu. In the Security option, if it is set to “System”, the password will be
required for both startup and CMOS Setup. If it is set to “Setup”, the password is
only required when entering the CMOS Setup.

Appendix A. Watchdog 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 have resulted from an external EMI or a software bug. When the
system stops working, hardware on the board will perform a hardw are reset (cold
boot) to bring the system back to a known state.
Three I/O ports control the operation of Watchdog Timer, which is described in
the following table.
I/O PORT ACTION DESCRIPTION
443 (hex) Write Set time-out period
443 (hex) Read Enable the refreshing of the Watchdog Timer.
043/843 (hex) Read Disable the Watchdog Timer.
Prior to enabling the Watchdog Timer, set the time-out period. The range of the
timer is 1 to 255 sec, set in increments of 1 second. Send the time-out 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, which 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 will reset unconditionally. Please refer to the sample assembl y program
on the next page for more details.
Note: A margin of error of at least 5% must be maintained to avoid unknown
routines in the operating system (DOS), such as disk I/O, which can be
very time-consuming. Therefore if the time-out period is set to 10
seconds, the I/O port 443H must be completely read within 7 seconds.

Appendix B. The E2 Key™ Function
The WAFER-4826EV provides an outstanding E2KEY™ function for system
integrators. Based on the E
stored in the 1Kbit EEPROM (memory module). The loss of these important data
is prevented, as EEPROM is non-volatile.

The E
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 WAFER-4826, the E

The E2KEY.OBJ provides two library functions (read_e2key and write_e2key)
for users to integrate their applications with E
2
KEY™. These compiled library
functions are written in the C programming language. Please check the following
statements to for using and implementing the library functions:
unsigned int read_e2key(unsigned int address)
/* This function will return the data of E
2
KEY™ at the specified address. The
address ranges from 0 to 63. Return data is one word, 16 bits in length. */
void write_e2key(unsigned int address, unsigned int data)
/* This function will write th e given data to the E
2
KEY™ at a certain address. The
address ranges from 0 to 63. The data value is from 0 to 0xffff. */
To use these functions, please refer to the included EKEYDEMO.C sample program
for further information.
