Advisory Conventions xiii

Safety Instructions

Before handling the Endeavor Plus single board computer, read the following instructions and safety guidelines to prevent damage to the product and to ensure your own personal safety. Refer to the “Advisories” section for advisory conventions used in this manual, including the distinction between Warnings, Cautions, and Notes.

t Always use caution when handling/operating the computer. Only

qualified, experienced, authorized electronics service personnel should access the interior of the computer. The power supplies produce high voltages and energy hazards, which can cause bodily harm.

t Use extreme caution when installing or removing components. Refer to

the installation instructions in this manual for precautions and procedures. If you have any questions, please contact ICS Advent Post-Sales Technical Support.

WARNING

High voltages are present inside the chassis when the unit’s power cord is plugged into an electrical outlet. Turn off system power, turn off the power supply, and then disconnect the power cord from its source before removing the chassis cover. Turning off the system power switch does not remove power to components.

When Working Inside a Computer

Before taking covers off a computer, perform the following steps:

xiv Preface

1) Turn off the computer and any peripherals.

2) Disconnect the computer and peripherals from their power sources to

prevent electric shock or system board damage.

3) Follow the guidelines provided in “Protecting Against Electrostatic

Discharge” on the following page.

4) Disconnect any telephone or telecommunications lines from the computer.

In addition, take note of these safety guidelines when appropriate:

t To help avoid possible damage to system boards, wait five seconds after

turning off the computer before removing a component, removing a system board, or disconnecting a peripheral device from the computer.

t When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its strain-relief

loop, not on the cable itself. Some cables have a connector with locking tabs. If you are disconnecting this type of cable, press in on the locking tabs before disconnecting the cable. As you pull connectors apart, keep them evenly aligned to avoid bending any connector pins. Also, before connecting a cable, make sure both connectors are correctly oriented and aligned.

CAUTION

Do not attempt to service the system yourself except as explained in this manual. Follow installation and troubleshooting instructions closely.

Preface

Safety Instructions xv

Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge

Static electricity can harm system boards. Perform service at an ESD workstation and follow proper ESD procedure to reduce the risk of damage to components. ICS Advent strongly encourages you to follow proper ESD procedure, which can include wrist straps and smocks, when servicing equipment.

You can also take the following steps to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD):

t When unpacking a static-sensitive component from its shipping carton,

do not remove the component’s antistatic packing material until you are ready to install the component in a computer. Just before unwrapping the antistatic packaging, be sure you are at an ESD workstation or grounded.

t When transporting a sensitive component, first place it in an antistatic

container or packaging.

t Handle all sensitive components at an ESD workstation. If possible,

use antistatic floor pads and workbench pads.

t Handle components and boards with care. Don’t touch the components

or contacts on a board. Hold a board by its edges or by its metal mounting bracket.

xvi Preface

When Operating a Computer

When operating a computer, observe the following operating guidelines:

t To help prevent electric shock, plug computer power cables into

properly grounded power sources. Use cables equipped with three-prong plugs to ensure proper grounding. Do not use adapter plugs or remove the grounding prong from the cable.

t Be sure nothing rests on chassis cables and that cables are not located

where they can be stepped on or tripped over.

t Keep objects out of chassis openings. This can cause fire or electric

shock by shorting out interior components.

t Keep chassis away from radiators and heat sources. Do not block

cooling vents or place chassis in a closed-in wall unit.

t To help protect chassis from sudden, transient increases and decreases

in electrical power, use a surge suppressor, line conditioner, or uninterruptible power supply (UPS).

t Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the

supply circuit and the effect that circuit overloading might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.

Preface

t The ambient temperature within the rack may be greater than room

ambient temperature. Installation should be such that the amount of air flow required for safe operation is not compromised. Consideration should be given to the maximum rated ambient temperature.

Safety Instructions xvii

Rack Stability

Installation should be such that a hazardous stability condition is not achieved due to uneven loading. The chassis should be secured to the rack frame with retaining screws when it is slid in the rack. This will prevent the chassis from sliding forward on the slide rails if the cabinet is tilted or vibrated, resulting in possible mechanical or electrical damage to the system or injury to personnel.

WARNING

There is a real danger of a rack toppling if a heavy chassis is extended on its slide rails from the rack. ICS Advent strongly recommends you anchor the mounting rack to the floor or wall to prevent this from happening.

Safety Standards

The product(s) described in this manual has met the safety requirements of Underwriters Laboratories (UL) for the US and Canadian market based on UL’s published Standards for Safety.

xviii Preface

System Architecture

The Endeavor Plus provides a highly integrated system solution. The latest system architecture of the Endeavor Plus includes two main VLSI chips, 82810E GMCH (Graphics and Memory Controller Hub), and 82801AA ICH (I/O controller hub) to support Celeron and Pentium III processors, SDRAM, 3D graphics display, PCI bus interface, APM, ACPI compliant power

management onboard super I/O chip, W83627HF, supports a PS/2 keyboard/mouse, two UARTs, FDC, Hardware Monitor, Parallel Port, Watchdog Timer, and Infrared interface. In addition, two onboard devices (such as SCSI and LAN) give the user a more flexible and reliable application in a highly integrated environment.

The CPU socket adopts the Socket 370 type to support high availability, reliability, and easy operation in general industry applications.

The 82810E Hub provides an integrated memory controller and graphics capability (Direct AGP). To deliver AGP class graphics performance to computers at a reduced cost. It dynamically allocates and de-allocates system memory for complex 3D textures, preserving the benefits of standard AGP add-in solutions. Its 64-bit AGTL+ based host bus interface, optimized 64-bit DRAM interface supports two 3.3V DIMMs at the maximum bus frequency of 100 MHz. The 32-bit PCI bus interface supports four PCI masters for external backplane support.

The 82801AA Hub employs the Accelerated Controller Hub architecture which makes a direct connection from the graphics and memory to the IDE controllers, the Dual USB ports, and the PCI cards. It supports two-channel dedicated Ultra DMA-33/66 IDE master interfaces, full Plug-n-Play compatibility, APIC (Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller) interface, and internal real-time clock (RTC) to maintain the time and date of a system. It also supports a twoport USB (Universal Serial Bus) interface and PCI 2.1 Compliance operation. The Hub fully supports Operating System Directed Power Management via the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) specification. It is also linked via the Firmware Hub Link bus to 82802AB Firmware Hub to support BIOS read/write access. Through the PCI bus, the PC87200 PCI-to-ISA bridge is built as a highly integrated PCI-to-ISA bridge solution for the best industry applications.

Series systems.

1-10 Introduction

The Super I/O chip W83627HF integrates two high speed serial ports, one parallel port, an SIR interface, a Watchdog Timer (WDT) which is enabled by jumper settings and triggered by software, H/W monitoring, FDD interface, and an 8042 keyboard controller with PS/2 mouse ports. This parallel port supports one PC-compatible printer port (SPP, bi-direction), Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP), and Extended Capabilities Port (ECP).

The PCI-to-ISA bridge supports a standard 16-bit ISA bus interface. The Endeavor Plus supports the DiskOnChip (DOC) for the M-systems Flash Disk, ISA buffer driving for special I/ O applications and multi-ISA slots.

In addition, an advanced feature is used on the Endeavor Plus to support detection and monitoring of the system temperature, operating voltage, and fan status.

The 82802 Firmware Hub stores system BIOS and video BIOS, eliminating a redundant, non-volatile memory component.

There are two onboard PCI devices (VES model only): the Ultra-160/m SCSI interface and the Fast Ethernet port. These devices support the full functionality of the Endeavor Plus all-in-one single board computer. The onboard SCSI device uses an Adaptec AIC-7892B Ultra-160/m SCSI controller to support one 68-pin condensed connector with 160MB/sec maximum data transfer. The other onboard PCI device (VE and VES models only), the LAN port, is powered by the Intel 82559 10/100 Ethernet Controller supports Fast Ethernet interface through the RJ45 port.

The 810e built-in Graphics Controller supports high end graphics accelerators. It is implemented with high performance SGRAM 4MB to support color depths and high resolution up to 1600 x 1200 with 256 colors.

Overview

This chapter describes how to set up and configure the Endeavor Plus single board computer, M-systems Flash Disk, onboard PCI devices, and the onboard Watchdog Timer (WDT).

Socket 370 Celeron/Pentium III Processor

Installing a CPU

After shutting down the system, disconnecting power, and taking the CPU board to an ESD workstation, follow the these steps:

1) Lift the lever of the CPU socket outwards and upwards to the fully open position.

2) Align the processor pins with the pin holes on the socket. Make sure that the notched

corner or dot mark (pin 1) of the CPU corresponds to the socket’s bevel end. Then

press the CPU gently until it fits into place. If this operation is not easy or smooth,

don’t do it forcibly.

3) Push down the lever to lock the processor chip (CPU) into the socket.

4) Follow the installation guide for the CPU cooling fan or heat sink to mount the fan or

heat sink on the CPU surface and lock it on the socket 370.

System Installation

Removing a CPU

After shutting down the system, disconnecting power, and taking the CPU board to an ESD workstation, follow the these steps:

1) Unlock the cooling fan first.

2) Lift the lever of the CPU socket outwards and upwards to the fully open position.

Overview 3-3

3) Carefully lift up the existing CPU to remove it from the socket.

4) Follow the steps of installing a CPU to install another one, or push the handling bar

down to close the opened socket.

Configuring the System Bus

Please note that the Endeavor Plus will automatically detect the system bus based on the CPU used.

3-4 System Installation

Main Memory

The Endeavor Plus has two 168-pin DIMM slots that hold up to 512MB of 3.3V SDRAM.

Memory must be a PC100-compliant memory chip at a FSB clock frequency of 100MHz.

For best compatibility, procure tested memory modules from ICS Advent. If you need to source memory from an outside vendor, choose well known suppliers such as Micron, Kingston, or Crucial. A single or double-sided DIMM can be used. The two DIMMs can be any size up to 256MB.

Ensure adequate memory module contact and lock integrity with the DIMM socket. This will impact the system reliability. Follow the normal procedure to install an SDRAM module into the memory socket. Before locking the DIMM into place, make sure that the module has been

fully inserted into the DIMM slot.

Note: (1) For maintaining system stability, do not change any of the SDRAM parameters in BIOS setup to upgrade your system performance without acquiring technical information. (2) Due to the Intel 810e chipset, ECC or buffered (registered) SDRAM is not supported. If ECC SDRAM is used, the system will respond with a warning message indicating that this type of SDRAM will not benefit the system. Buffered (registered) SDRAM will simply freeze up the system if installed.

810e Chipset & ATA-66

A few hardware features of the 810e chipset are, by default, not recognized by Windows 95/98. Load the 810e INF (Incremental Fix) patches to bring up the drivers so the operating system will recognize these hardware features.

The INF driver is in the IDE/INF directory of the Endeavor Plus CD. (Note: This driver only supports Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows 98 Second Edition). Execute “setup.exe” to complete the driver installation.

Also, the 810e chipset supports the ATA-66 mode, which requires the ATA-66 driver for the real ATA-66 to function properly. The ATA-66 driver is in the IDE directory.

After installation, simply select from the Windows Start menu as “Program / Intel Ultra ATA Storage / Companion” to bring up the user interface. Click on the device available at the left

pane and it will simply prompt the corresponding device information at the right pane.

Note: (1) This driver only supports Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, and Windows NT 4.0. (2) For correct operation of ATA-66, use an 80-pin IDE cable instead of a 40-pin IDE cable for IDE devices to avoid unstable performance.

Winbond Hardware Doctor Software

The hardware monitor software, “HWDOCTOR”, is provided on the CD. This software detects system information and reports it through a GUI. Information detected includes:

t CPU Vcore, Vcc1.8, Vcc3.3, and system DC voltage

t System and CPU temperature

A warning message and beeping will occur if the current reading is outside of the upper and lower boundary values. System information, may be monitored and boundary values can be configured online through the graphical user interface (GUI).

This software works with Windows 95/98 and Windows NT 4.0.

Flash BIOS

System Installation

M-systems Flash Disk

The Endeavor Plus includes one 32-pin DIP socket for installing an M-systems Flash Disk from 2MB to 144MB.The DiskOnChip is not a Plug-n-Play device; its address must be manually selected using JP12. Before installing, make certain that the memory window address jumper setting (JP12) is set on the right position to prevent system conflicts. Follow the DOC (DiskOnChip) installation procedure below. Otherwise, the Flash chip may be damaged due to incorrect installation.

Installing DiskOnChip (DOC)

Align the DiskOnChip (DOC) with the pin holes on the socket. Ensure that the notched corner or dot mark (pin 1) of the DOC corresponds to the notched corner of the socket. Press down on the DOC gently until it fits into place. If the installation procedure is correctly performed, the

Flash disk can be viewed as a normal hard disk to access read/write data.

CAUTION

Ensure that the DOC is inserted properly. Inserting the DOC backwards will damage it.

The Endeavor Plus will instruct the user to install and utilize DOC for practical application. If you want to boot from this Flash disk, refer to the application note from M-systems. You can easily get relatively advanced information from M-systems’ shipping package (such as the product manual) or their Web site http://www.m-sys.com.

Watchdog Timer (WDT) Programming

System will reset if no retrigger signal has been given after the set time interval

Enable WDT Function

The following table shows how to enable and disable the Watchdog Timer (WDT) circuit using JP16.

JP16 FUNCTION

Short Enable WDT

NA Disable WDT

This will prepare the WDT circuit to be ready for the trigger. The WDT is now in standby mode. Without adding this jumper, the WDT circuit is always turned off.

Initialize, Re-trigger, and Stop WDT

With the WDT enabled, you may configure the “Watchdog Timer Controller” option in BIOS to determine when the WDT will be initialized.

Enabled = Automatically initialize WDT when booting up. Disabled = Manually initialize WDT by software at run-time

After you initialize the WDT, the system will reboot if no re-trigger signal is given within a time-out interval.

System Installation

There are two methods to program the time-out interval. One is to specify it in the BIOS (Advanced Chipset Setup) and the other is through software programming over the super I/O W83627HF chip. The first way is recommended and easier but has fewer choices of time-out intervals. BIOS provides only eight possible ranges of timeout intervals ranging from 1 second to 60 minutes. The second method is more difficult and complicated, but provides more choices of time-out intervals.

A test program is available in Appendix A, "WDT Programming". The program allows users to specify a refresh interval and the system will simply stay on if the selected refresh interval is less than the time-out interval specified in BIOS. Otherwise, the system will reboot. A programming guide is also included in Appendix A.

Clear CMOS Operation

The following table will show you how to enable and disable the CMOS Clear Function hardware circuit using JP1.

JP1 FUNCTION

NA Normal Operation

Short Clear CMOS

To correctly operate the Clear CMOS function, apply a jumper over JP1. This will not consume any power. Then configure the (Advanced Chipset Setup) CMOS RAM Clear Function in the BIOS to Enabled. Reboot the system to produce a “CMOS Check Sum Error” message and hold up the system. You may then follow the displayed message to load the BIOS default setting.
