2.2 Clear CMOS Setup

The CMOS RAM holds the board’s configuration data, which had to be set through system BIOS. In case you want to clear the CMOS RAM (for example, if you have forgotten the password, you should clear the CMOS setting then re-set the password.), you need to close JP1 for about 3 seconds, then open it again to set system back to normal operation mode.

3.18 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 NOVA-7800. 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. We provide "BIOS Call " for DIO's reading.

Chapter 4. AMI BIOS Setup

4.1 Introduction

This chapter discusses the Setup program built into the BIOS, which allows users to configure the system. This configuration is then stored in battery-backed CMOS RAM so that Setup information is retained whilst the power is off.

4.2 Starting Setup

The BIOS is immediately active when you turn on the computer. While the BIOS is activated, the Setup program can be entered 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).

Press DEL to run SETUP.

Primary/Secondary Master/Slave LBA Mode

LBA (Logical Block Addressing) is a new IDE HDD access method to developed to overcome the 528-megabyte capacity bottleneck. If your IDE hard disk capacity is greater than 528MB, AMIBIOS can enable this LBA mode feature. The option is only for Primary Master IDE LBA mode.

Primary/Secondary Master/Slave Block Mode

If your hard disk drive supports IDE block transfer mode, enable this option for a faster IDE hard disk drive transfer rate. The option is only for Primary Master Block mode.

Primary/Secondary Master/Slave PIO Mode

This option enables Primary Master IDE PIO mode on the IDE, which can set proper cycle timings. The cycle timing between the IDE PIO mode value and IDE cycle timing is shown below : Mode 0 -> Timing ( 600ns ) Mode 1 -> Timing ( 383ns ) Mode 2 -> Timing ( 240ns ) Mode 3 -> Timing ( 180ns ) Mode 4 -> Timing ( 120ns ) Mode 5 -> Timing ( 60ns )

Primary/Secondary Master/Slave 32Bit Mode

This option enables Primary Master IDE 32-bit data transfers on the IDE data port. If disabled,16-bit data transfer is used by the BIOS.32-bit data transfers can only be enabled if IDE prefetch mode is also enabled.

Boot Sector Virus Protection

When this option is enabled, AMIBIOS issues a warning when

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) 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(the time unit--second, is

dependent on the item “Watchdog Timer unit (selected in BIOS 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. When 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.

48

Example program:

; INITIAL TIMER PERIOD COUNTER ;

W_LOOP:

MOV AX, 6F02H ;setting the time-out value MOV BL, 30 ;time-out value is 48

seconds INT 15H ; ; ADD YOUR APPLICATION PROGRAM HERE ; CMP EXIT_AP, 1 ;is your application over? JNE W_LOOP ;No, restart your application

MOV AX, 6F02H ;disable Watchdog Timer MOV BL, 0 ; INT 15H ; ; EXIT

49

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 NOVA-7800. 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 ;

50

Digital Output is 1001b

Appendix D. How to use Wake-Up Function

The NOVA-7800 provides two kinds of Wake up Function. This page describes how to use Modem Wake-Up and LAN Wake-Up function. Wake-Up function functions when you use ATX power supply.

Wake-Up By Ring: You must set the option Power On By Ring of CMOS SETUP to be enabled. The ATX power supply will be switched on when there is a ring signal detected on pin “RI” of serial port.

Wake-Up On LAN: When your computer is in power-down status, you can see LAN Link/Active LED is flashing. This status indicates that the LAN chip has entered standby mode and waits for Wake-Up signal. You can use other computers to wake up your computer by sending ID to it.

ID

: ID is the address of your system LAN. Every LAN chip has a factory, set ID, which you can find it from network information in WINDOWS.

ID’s format is xxxxxxxxxxxx Example ID: 009027388320

53

Appendix E. How to use VIDEO-IN Function

The NOVA-7800 allow users to capture live video from video source such as the CCTV camera as it has four video input channels for surveillance systems.

 Driver Installation:

Taking advantage of IEI driver installation program, you will find driver installation a very simple job. Steps to follow:

1. Insert the IEI Driver CD(4).

2. The window will display the menu of IEI Driver CD. Click “IVC Series”.

3. Click “IVC-100/100G/200/200G”.

4. Double click the “Windows” folder.

5. Double click “ ieisetup.exe”.

Note: Microsoft Direct X 8.1 or above is needed. The setup

program (ieisetup.exe) will prompt you to install Direct X8.1 after the driver installation has been completed. Therefore, IEI strongly recommend you to use ieisetup.exe for driver installation.
