2.1 Anti-s tatic Precautions
WARNING:
Failure to take ESD precautions during installation may result in
permanent damage to the ECN-680A-H61 and severe injury to the
user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components,
including the ECN-680A-H61. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is
therefore critical th at whenever the ECN-680A-H61 or any other e lectrical component is
handled, the following anti-static precautions are strictly adhered to.
Wear an anti-static wristband: Wearing a simple anti-static wristband can
help to prevent ESD from damaging the board.
Self-grounding: Before handling the board, touch any grounded conducting
material. During the time the board is handled, frequently touch any
conducting materials that are connected to the ground.
Use an anti-static pad: When configuring the ECN-680A-H61, place it on an
antic-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the
ECN-680A-H61.
2.2 Unpacking Precautions
When the ECN-680A-H61 is unpacked, please do the follow ing:
Follow the anti-static precautions outlined in Section
333H2.1.
Make sure the packing box is facing upwards so the ECN-680A-H61 does not
fall out of the box.
Make sure all the components shown in Section
334H2.3 are present.

A jumper is a metal brid ge that is used
to close an electrical circuit. It consists
of two metal pins and a small m etal cl ip

slides over the pins to connect them.
To CLOSE/SHORT a jumper means
connecting the pins of the jumper with
the plastic clip and to OP EN a jum per m eans rem oving the p lastic c lip

5.1 Introduction
The BIOS is programmed onto the BIOS chip. The BIOS setup program allows changes to
certain system settings. This chapter outlines the options that can be changed.
5.1.1 Starting Setup
The AMI BIOS is activated when the c omputer is turned on. The setup program can be
activated in one of two ways.
1. Press the D
ELETE key as soon as the system is turned on or
2. Press the D
ELETE key when the “Press Del to enter SETUP” message
appears on the screen. 0.
If the message disappears before the D
ELETE key is pressed, restart the computer and try
again.
5.1.2 Using Setup
Use the arrow keys to highlight items, press ENTER to select, use the PageUp and
PageDown keys to c hange entries, press F1 for help and press E
SC to quit. Navigation
keys are shown in.

5.1.4 Unable to Reboot after Configuration Changes
If the computer cannot boot after changes to the syst em configuration is made, CMOS
defaults. Use the jumper described in Chapter 5.
5.1.5 BIOS Men u Bar
The menu bar on top of the BIOS screen has the following main items:
Main – Changes the basic system configuration.
Advanced – Changes the advanced system settings.
Chipset – Changes the chipset settings.
Boot – Changes the sy stem boot configuration.
Security – Sets User and Supervisor Passwords.
Save & Exit – Selects exit options and loads default settings
The following sections c ompletely describe the conf iguration options found i n the menu
items at the top of the BIOS screen and listed above.
