AWARD BIOS SETUP

4.1 Introduction

This manual discusses Award'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 Award BIOS is immediately activated when you first power on the computer.
The BIOS reads the system information contained in the CMOS 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:

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).

PCISA-3717EVT Socket 370 Celeron

& Pentium III ®
with Ethernet , VGA( Dual Di splay ) ,
TV-Out , Audio Board

27

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

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.

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 no longer is able to boot, the Award BIOS supports an override to the
CMOS settings which resets your system to its defaults.
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

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 state.

Three I/O ports control the operation of W atch-Dog Timer.

443 (hex) Write Set Watchdog Time period
443 (hex) Read Enable the refresh the Watchdog Timer.
043/843 (hex) Read Disable the Watch-Dog Timer.

Prior to enable the Watch-Dog 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 Watch-Dog
Timer must be periodically refreshed by reading the same I/O port 443H.
This must be done within the time-out period, please refer to the example
program. Finally, we have to disable the Watch-Dog 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 time­consuming. Therefore if the time-out period has been set to 10 seconds,
the I/O port 443H must be read within 7 seconds.

Appendix B. POST Messages

POST Messages

During the Power On Self Test (POST), if the BIOS detects an error requiring
you to do something to fix, it will either sound a beep code or display a message.
If a message is displayed, it will be accompanied by:
PRESS F1 TO CONTINUE, CTRL-ALT-ESC OR DEL TO ENTER SETUP

POST Beep

Currently there are two kinds of beep codes in BIOS. This code indicates that a
video error has occurred and the BIOS cannot initialize the video screen to
display any additional information. This beep code consists of a single long
beep followed by three short beeps. The other code indicates that your DRAM
error has occurred. This beep code consists of a single long beep repeatedly.

How to Upgrade a New BIOS

You can install an upgrade BIOS for the PCISA-3717EVT that you
can download from the manufacturer’s web site ( www.e-

icp.com.tw ). New BIOS may provide support for new

peripherals ,improvements in performance or fixes to addressed
known bugs.

BIOS Update Procedure:

1. Make a boot disk. Go to the DOS command prompt in MS-DOS
or Windows 9x and, with an available floppy disk in "A", type
"format A: /s" That will format the floppy and transfer the needed
system files to it.

NOTES:
A. This procedure will erase any prior data on that floppy, so
please Proceed accordingly.
B. Typically four files will be transferred, only COMMAND.COM
being visible when running a simple directory listing.
C. Please leave the diskette UN-write protected for the balance of
this procedure.

2. Download the BIOS upgrade file and awdflash.exe utility from a
ICP web site to a temp directory on your hard drive, or directly to
the floppy you made in step 1..

3. Copy ( BIOS file and awdflash.exe )two files to the boot floppy.

4. Reboot the system to the DOS command prompt using the
boot diskette you just made.

5. At the DOS command prompt, type "awdflash filename.xxx",
where filename.xxx is the file name of the BIOS file . Hit enter.

6. Your first option, in sequence, will be to save the old BIOS. We
recommend that you do that in case, for whatever reason, you
decide you don't wish to use the new version once it is installed.
NOTES:
A. If you decide to save the old BIOS, PLEASE make sure you do
NOT save it to the same file name as the new BIOS - if you use
the same BIOS name the old file will be written over the new file
with NO warning prompt. A simple file name to save the old BIOS
to is OLDBIOS.BIN.
B. If you do NOT decide to save the old BIOS, PLEASE at least
write down the version number of the old BIOS and store that
information with your important computer documents. Enter N (for
"no") and skip to step 9.

7. To save the old BIOS, hit Y (for "yes")

8. Enter a name for the OLD BIOS file and hit enter.
NOTE:PLEASE be sure you do NOT save the old BIOS file to the
same file name as the new BIOS - if you use the same BIOS
name, the old file will write over the new BIOS file WITHOUT a
warning prompt. A simple file name for saving the old BIOS to is
OLDBIOS.BIN.

9. Your second option, in sequence, will be whether you want to
flash your BIOS. Enter Y (for "yes").
NOTE: This is the critical step. Once you kit the enter key, do
NOT touch the keyboard, the reset button, or power switch while
the flashing is in progress. There will be bar progressing across
the screen while the flashing is progressing.

10. When the flashing process is complete, you will be asked to
reset or power off the system. Remove the floppy diskette from

PCISA-3717EVT Socket 370 Celeron

TM

& Pentium III ®
with Ethernet , VGA( Dual Di splay ) ,
TV-Out , Audio Board

77

the floppy drive and either hit the reset button or the power button.

11. Reboot the system and note that the BIOS version on the
initial boot-up screen has changed to the new BIOS version. Your
BIOS upgrade is now complete.

Recovering Your Old BIOS:

1. Assuming you have the floppy made during the upgrade
procedure noted above, boot the system with that diskette in the
floppy drive. If you do not have floppy made during the upgrade
procedure noted above, you will need to repeat steps 1 though 3
(above) for the version of the BIOS you wish to recover to.

2. Complete steps 4, 5, 6B, 9, 10, and 11 (above) substituting the
name of the BIOS you wish to recover for the upgrade BIOS at
step 5.

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. PCISA-3717EVT (through Power Button & +5VSB):

Connect the ATX power supply switch to the pin 9 (power button)
and pin 19,20 (+5VSB) of CN17 on the board.

If you wish to turn off the power supply, please push the ATX
power switch button for about 4 sec. And to turn ON the system,
simply push the button once.

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 ATX

2. You may now turn the power ON/OFF by the power switch
