2.2 Unpacking Precautions
Some components of WAFER-C400EV SBC are very sensitive to static electric charges and can be damaged by a sudden rush of power. To protect it from unintended damage, be sure to note these precautions:
1. Ground yourself to remove any static charge before touching the WAFER-C400EV SBC. You can do it by using a grounded wrist strap at all times or by frequently touching any conducting materials that is connected to the ground.
2. Handle WAFER-C400EV SBC by its edges. Don’t touch IC chips, leads or circuitry if not necessary.
3. Do not plug any connector or jumper while the power is on.
2.3 System Memory DRAM
There is one 144-pin SO-DIMM socket to accept 3.3V non-buffered SDRAM. The max Memory size is 512MB.
2.4 Watch-Dog Timer Setting
Reading port 443H enables the Watchdog Timer. It should be triggered before the time-out period ends, otherwise it will assume th e program operation is abnormal and will issue a reset signal to start again. Reading port 043/843H disables the Watchdog Timer. Please refer to Appendix A for detailed information.
2.5 Clear CMOS Setup
If the user needs to clear the CMOS setup (for example, the user forgot the password, then the setup should be cleared and the password should be re-set). The user should short the JP1 about 3 seconds, and then open it again. Opening JP1 can set the system back to normal operation mode.

Chapter 4 AMI BIOS Setup
4.1 Introduction
This chapter discusses AMI's setup program built into the ROM BIOS. The setup program allows users to modify the 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.
4.2 Starting Setup
The AMI BIOS is immediately activated when you first boot up the computer. The BIOS reads the system information contained in the CMOS and begins the process of checking out the system and then configur es it. When it finishes, the BIOS will seek an operating system on one of the disks and then launch and pass the control over to the operating system. While the BIOS is in charge, the Setup program can be activated in one of the following 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.
Press DEL to enter SETUP.
If the message disappears before you respond and you still wish to enter Setup, press the “RESET” button on the chassis or turn the power off then turn it back on to restart the system then you can try again. You may also restart by simultaneously pressing <Ctrl>, <Alt>, an d <Delete> keys. If you do not press the keys at the correct moment and the system does not boot, an error message will be displayed and you will again be asked to...
PRESS F1 TO ENTER SETUP OR PRESS F2 TO CONTINUE
23
4.3 Using Setup
In general, use the arrow keys to highlight options, 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.
Up arrow Move to previous option Down arrow Move to next option Left arrow Move to the option in the left column Right arrow Move to the option in the right column Esc key Main Menu -- Quit and not save changes into CMOS
Status Page Setup Menu and Option Page Setup Menu -- Exit current
page and return to Main Menu PgUp key Increase the numeric value or make changes PgDn key Decrease the numeric value or make changes + key Increase the numeric value or make changes
- key Decrease the numeric value or make changes F1 key General help, only for Status Page Setup Menu and Option Page Setup
Menu F2 /F3 key Change col or from total 16 colors. F2 to select color forward, (Shift)
F2 to select color backward F4 key Reserved F5 key Reserved F6 key Reserved F7 key Reserved F8 key Reserved F9 key Reserved F10 key Save all the CMOS changes, only for Main Menu
4.4 Getting Help
Press F1 to pop up a small help window that describes the appropriate keys to use and the possible selections for the highlighted item. To exit the Help Window press <Esc> or the F1 key again.
If, after making and saving system changes with Setup, you discover that your computer is no longer able to boot, the AMI BIOS supports an override to the CMOS settings which can reset your system to its defaults.
The best advice is to alter only the settings which you thoroughly understand. To this end, we strongly recommend not to make any changes to the chipset defaults. These defaults have been carefully chosen by both AMI and the system manufacturer to provide the optimum performance and reliability. Even a seemingly little change to the chipset setup may shut the system down and need the override program to reset it.
24
4.5 Main Menu
Once you enter the AMIBIOS™ 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 option 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. The main menu includes the following main setup categories. Recall that some systems may not include all entries.
Standard CMOS Setup
Use this menu for basic system configuration.
Advanced CMOS Setup
Use this menu to set the Advanced Features available on your system.
Advanced Chipset Setup
Use this menu to change the values in the chipset registers and optimize the system's performance.
Power Management Setup
When Disabled, SMI will not be initialized, and complete power management functionality is removed unless this option is set to Enabled.
PCI / Plug and Play Setup
This entry appears if your system supports PnP / PCI.
Peripheral Setup
Use this menu to specify your settings for integrated peripherals.
Hardware Monitor Setup
Use this menu to monitor your hardware.
25
Auto-detect Hard Disks
Use this menu to specify your settings for hard disks control.
Change Supervisor Password
Use this menu to set User and Supervisor Passwords.

You can set passwords for either supervisor or user password, or for both of them. The differences between them are:
Supervisor Password:
It’s used to enter and change the settings of the setup menus.
User Password:
It’s used to only access the setup menus, but can’t change anything of it. When you select this option, the following message will appear at the center of the screen to assist you in creating a password.
ENTER PASSWORD:
Type the password, up to eight characters in length, and press <Enter>. The password typed now will clear any previously existing password within CMOS memory. You will be prompted to confirm the password. Type the password again and press <Enter>. You may also press <Esc> to abort the selection and not to enter a password. To disable a password, just press <Enter> when you are prompted to enter the password. A message which ask you to 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 user from changing any bit of your system configuration. Additionally, when a password is enabled, you can also require the BIOS to request a password every time the system is booting. This would prevent unauthorized uses of your computer. The user can determine whether the password is needed for entering BIOS Setup Program or other Security options (see Section 4.5). Once the Password has been set, The user will be prompted to enter the password at the beginning of booting and at the entry to Setup Menu.

Appendix A Watchdog Timer
The Watchdog Timer is a device to ensure that standalone systems can always recover from catastrophic conditions that cause the CPU to crash. This condition may have occurred by external EMI or a software bug. When the CPU stops working normally, 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 Watchdog Timer:
443 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 define Timer first. The output data is a value of time interval and the range of the value is from 01(hex) to FF (hex) and time interval 1 sec to 255 sec.
DATA TIME INTERVAL
01 1 sec 02 2 sec 03 3 sec 04 4 sec
- - - -
FF 255 sec
This will enable and activate the countdown timer which eventually t ime out and reset the CPU to ensure that this reset condition does not occur; the Watch-Dog Timer must be periodically refreshed by reading the same I/O port 043/843H and 443H. This must be done within the time out period that is selected by software, please refer to the example program.
A tolerance of at least 5% must be maintained to avoid unknown routines within 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.
Note: When exiting a program it is necessary to disable the Watchdog Timer,
otherwise the system will reset.

Appendix B Digital I/O
One characteristic of digital circuit is its fast response to high or low signal. This kind of response is highly needed for harsh and critical industrial operating environment. That’s why we design 4-bit digital inputs and 4-bit digital outputs on the WAFER-C400EV. Digital Input and Output, generally, are control signals. You can use these signals to control external devices that needs On/Off circuit or TTL devices. You can read or write data to the selected address to enable the function of digital IO.
A BIOS function call (INT 15H) is used to control the Watchdog Timer:
INT 15H:
AH – 6FH
Sub-function:
AL – 8 : Set the Digital port is INPUT AL : Digital I/O input value
Example Program:
MOV AX, 6F08H ;setting the Digital port is input INT 15H ;
AL low byte = value
AH – 6FH
Sub-function:
AL – 9 : Set the Digital port is OUTPUT BL : Digital I/O output value
Example program:
MOV AX, 6F09H ;setting the Digital port is output MOV BL, 09H ;Digital value is 09H INT 15H ;Digital Output is 1001b
