4.7 Peripheral Setup
This setup is working mostly on Multi-I/O Chip (W83977F). The options are used to change the Chipset‘s registers. Please be careful while making any changes to default setting as to meet your application need properly. The only special concern is Onboard Serial Port 2. If you want to use the IrDA port, you have to configure the SIR or ASKIR model in the BIOS’s Peripheral Setup’s COM2; the RS-232 COM2 will be disabled.
Onboard FDC > to enable the FDC on your board. If you
set it to Auto, the BIOS will decide if the FDC should be enabled, automatically.
Onboard Serial Port A (/B) > to specify the I/O port
address of the serial port 1(/2). If you set it to Auto, the BIOS will decide the correct I/O port address, automatically.
Serial Port B Mode > to specify the mode of serial port 2.
33
IR Duplex Mode > to specify the mode of IR device that
is connected to the IR port.
IrDA Protocol > to specify the function mode if an IrDA
mode is selected.
Onboard Parallel Port > to specify the I/O port address
of the parallel port.
Parallel Port Mode > to specify the mode of parallel port.
The options are:
Normal (normal parallel port mode), Bi-Dir (supports bidirectional transfer), EPP (supports devices that comply with the
Enhanced Parallel Port specification),
ECP (supports devices that comply with the
Extended Capabilities Port).
Parallel Port IRQ > to assign certain IRQ to the parallel
port. The optimal and fail-safe settings is 7.
Parallel Port DMA Channel > available only if the
parallel port mode is ECP. The optimal and fail-safe settings is 3.
Onboard IDE > to define which on-board IDE controller
channel(s) to be used. Available options are: Primary, Secondary, Both and Disabled.

4.8 Hardware Monitor Setup
There is a LM78 chip on your board which can monitor on board system voltage and fan speed. The voltage monitoring will cover +5V,+12V,-12V,and –5V.
Note: Normal CPU Fan RPM is over than 5000 RPM. If your
CPU Fan RPM is less than that figure, something is wrong and the CPU will be in overheat condition. Make sure that the connection at CN12/CN13 is correct.
35
4.9 Change Supervisor / User Password
This option sets a password that is used to protect your system and Setup Utility. Supervisor Password has higher priority than User Password. Once you setup the password, the system will always ask you to key-in password every time you enter the BIOS SETUP. If you enter the BIOS SETUP with Supervisor Password, you can access every setup option on the main menu but with User Password you can only choose three setup options (USER PASSWORD, SAVE SETTING AND EXIT and EXIT WITHOUT SAVING). To disable these passwords, enter the BIOS SETUP menu with Supervisor Password and then just press the <Enter> key instead of entering a new password when the 'Enter Password' prompt pop-up.
36
4.10 Auto-Detect Hard Disk
This option detects the parameters of an IDE hard disk drive (HDD sector, cylinder, head, etc) automatically and will put the parameters into the Standard CMOS Setup screen. Up to 4 IDE drives can be detected and the parameters will be listed in the box. Press <Y> if you accept these parameters. Press <N> to skip the next IDE drives.
Note: If your IDE HDD was formatted in previous older system,
incorrect parameters may be detected. In this case, you need to enter the correct parameters manually or low­level format the disk.
4.11 Auto Configuration with Optimal
Settings
This option lets you load the Optimal default settings. These settings are best-case values which will provide the best performance. Whenever your CMOS RAM is damaged, this Optimal settings will be loaded automatically.
37
4.12 Auto Configuration with Fail Save
Settings
This option allows you to load the Fail Safe default settings when something happens to your computer results in the situation that it can no longer boot normally. These settings are not the most optimal settings but are the most stable settings.
4.13 Save Settings and Exit
Select this option when you finish setting all the parameters and want to save them into the CMOS. Simply press <Enter> key and all the configuration changes will be saved.
4.14 Exit Without Saving
Select this option if you want to exit the Setup without saving the changes that you made. Simply press <Enter> key and you will exit the BIOS SETUP without saving the changes.

Chapter 5. E2 Key™ Function
The ROCKY-3702EV provides an outstanding E2KEY™ function for system integrator. Based on the E
2
KEY™, you are free to store the ID Code, Password or crucial data in the 1Kbit EEPROM. Because the EEPROM is nonvolatile memory, you don’t have to worry about losing these very important data.
Basically, the E
2
KEY™ is based on a 1Kbit EEPROM which is configured to 64 words(from 0 to 63). You could access (read or write) each word anytime.
When you start to use the E
2
KEY™ you should have the utility in the package. The software utility will include four files as follows,
README.DOC E2KEY.OBJ EKEYDEMO.C EKEYDEMO.EXE.
The E2KEY.OBJ provides two library functions for user to integrate their application with E
2
KEY™ function. These library (read_e2key and write_e2key) are written and compiled in C language. Please check the following statement, then you will know how to use it. It is pretty easy.
unsigned int read_e2key(unsigned int address)
/* This function will return the E
2
KEY™’s data at address. The
address range is from 0 to 63. Return data is one word,16 bits
*/void write_e2key(unsigned int address,unsigned data) /* This function will write the given data to E
2
KEY™ at certain address. The address range is from 0 to 63. The data value is from 0 to 0xffff. */
39
To start to use the function in a quick way, please refer to the included EKEYDEMO.C code before you start to operate.
Please note that the E
2
KEY™ function is based on the working of parallel port so you should enable ROCKY-3702EV’s parallel port, otherwise it will not work at all.

Appendix A. Watch-Dog 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.
Two I/O ports control the WatchDog Timer :.
443 (hex) Read Enable to refresh the WatchDog
Timer.
043 (hex) Read Disable the WatchDog Timer.
To enable the WatchDog Timer, a read from I/O port 443H must be performed. This will enable and activate the countdown timer which will eventually time-out and either reset the CPU or cause a NMI, depending on the setting of JP7. To ensure that this reset condition does not occur, the WatchDog Timer must be periodically refreshed by reading the same I/O port 443H. This must be done within the time-out period that is selected by jumper group JP8.
A tolerance of at least 30% must be maintained to avoid unknown routines within the operating system (DOS), such as disk I/O that can be very time-consuming. Therefore, if the time out period has been set to 10 seconds, the I/O port 443H must be read within 7 seconds.
Note: when exiting a program it is necessary to disable the WatchDog
Timer, otherwise the system will reset.
