Chapter 4. Award 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 after the power has been
turned 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
activated in one of two ways:
1. By pressing <Del> immediately after switching the system

Press DEL to enter SETUP.
If the message disappears before you can respond to it and you
still wish to enter Setup Menu, please restart the system to try
again by turning it OFF momentarily 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 timing and the system
does not boot, an error message will be displayed and you will
be prompted to...

F5:Previous Values F6:Fail-safe defaults F7:Optimized Defaults
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.
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 was
lost. Such a scenario occur if your system had mixed speed
40
DRAM chips installed so that greater delays may be required to
preserve the integrity of the data held in the slower memory
chips.
SDRAM CAS Latency Time
When synchronous DRAM is installed, the number of clock
cycles of CAS latency depends on the DRAM timing.
The Choice: 2, 3
SDRAM Cycle Time Tras/Trc
Select the number of SCLKs for an access cycle.
The Choice: 5/7, 6/8.
SDRAM RAS-to-CAS Delay
This field lets you insert a timing delay between the CAS and
RAS strobe signals, used when DRAM is written to, read from,
or refreshed. Fast gives faster performance; and Slow gives
more stable performance. This field applies only when
synchronous DRAM is installed in the system.
The Choice: 2, 3.
SDRAM RAS Precharge Time
If an insufficient number of cycles is allowed for the RAS to
accumulate its charge before DRAM refresh, the refresh may be
incomplete and the DRAM may fail to retain data. Fast gives
faster performance; and Slow gives more stable performance.
This field applies only when synchronous DRAM is installed in
the system.
The Choice: 2, 3.
41
System BIOS Cacheable
Selecting Enabled allows caching of the system BIOS ROM at
F0000h-FFFFFh, resulting in better system performance.
However, if any program writes to this memory area, a system
error may result.
The Choice: Enabled, Disabled.
Video BIOS Cacheable
Select Enabled allows caching of the video BIOS , resulting in
better system performance. However, if any program writes to
this memory area, a system error may result.
The Choice: Enabled, Disabled.
Memory Hole At 15M-16M
You can reserve this area of system memory for ISA adapter
ROM. When this area is reserved, it cannot be cached. The
user information of peripherals that need to use this area of
system memory usually discusses their memory requirements.
The Choice: Enabled, Disabled.
CPU Latency Timer
Enabled : CPU cycle will only be Deferred after in has been in
a “Snoop Stall” for 31 clocks and another ADS# has
arrived.
Disabled: CPU cycle will only be Deferred immediately after
the GMCH receives another ADS#.
The Choice: Enabled, Disabled.
Delay Transaction
The chipset has an embedded 32-bit posted write buffer to
support delay transaction cycles. Select Enabled to support
compliance with PCI specification version 2.1.

4.13 Supervisor/User Password Setting
You can set either supervisor or user password, or both of then.
The differences between are:
Supervisor Password :
Can enter and change the options of the setup menus.
User Password :
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:
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 decide 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.

4.14 Exit Selecting
Save & Exit Setup
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.
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.
55
Appendix A. Watchdog Timer
The Watchdog Timer is provided 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
correctly, hardware on the board will either perform a hardware
reset (cold boot) or a Non-Maskable Interrupt (NMI) to bring
the system back to a known state.
A BIOS function call (INT 15H) is used to control the Watchdog
Timer:
INT 15H:
AH – 6FH
Sub-function:
AL – 2 : Set the Watchdog Timer’s period
BL : Time-out value(Its unit--second or minute, is
dependent on the item “Watchdog Timer unit
select” in CMOS setup).
You have to call sub-function 2 to set the time-out period of
Watchdog Timer first. If the time-out value is not zero, the
Watchdog Timer will start counting down. While the timer value
reaches zero, the system will reset. To ensure that this reset
condition does not occur, the Watchdog Timer must be
periodically refreshed by calling sub-function 2. However the
Watchdog timer will be disabled if you set the time-out value to
be zero.
A tolerance of at least 10% must be maintained to avoid
unknown routines within the operating system (DOS),
such as disk I/O that can be very time-consuming.
Note: When exiting a program it is necessary to disable the
Watchdog Timer, otherwise the system will reset.

Appendix C.
How to Upgrade a New BIOS
You can install an upgrade BIOS for the ROCKY-3785EV/EVG
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.
60
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.
C. To save the old BIOS, hit Y (for "yes")
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. When the flashing process is complete, you will be asked to
reset or power off the system. Remove the floppy diskette
from the floppy drive and either hit the reset button or the
power button.
61
10. 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.

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-3785EV/EVG (through Power Button & GND):
Connect the ATX power button switch to the CN5 (power
button). And connect the power cable from Backplane to
CN20 of CPU card.
If you want to turn ON the system, just press the button
once.
63
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
