3.4 Watch-Dog Timer Programming

The design technology of Watch-Dog Timer (WDT) is to utilize hardware

jumper setting and programmed by software command. After this feature is enabled,

a system reset will be generated unless an application triggers the timer periodically

within time-out period. This allows the system to restart in an orderly way in case

of any abnormal condition is found.

An optional two-port WDT is provided on WEB-6580 SERIES. This WDT

System Installation

WEB-6580【R1.0】 User’s Manual 3-5

comes with 8 possible ranges of time intervals from 1 to 63sec., which can be

adjusted by setting jumper positions. It could be enabled and programmed by

reading I/O port 443H or 543H to issue trigger continuously, and disabled by

reading I/O port 443H or 543H. A tolerance of 30% timer limit must be considered.

For instance, if the time-out interval is set to 1 second, the WDT trigger command

must be issued within 700ms at least.

The below example gives you a reference algorithm for WDT programming

via I/O port 443H in your application programs:

Enable WDT

MOV DX, 0443H←WDT port
MOV AL, sec←sec=WDT time(1<sec<63sec)

OUT DX,AL

Re-trigger WDT

MOV DX, 0443H←WDT port
MOV AL, sec←sec=WDT time(1<sec<63sec)

OUT DX,AL

Disable WDT

MOV DX, 0443H
MOV AL, 0
OUT DX,AL

WEB-6580 is equipped with the AMI BIOS stored in Flash ROM. This BIOS

has a built-in Setup program that allows users to modify the basic system

configuration easily. This type of information is stored in CMOS RAM so that it is

retained during power-off periods. When system is turned on, WEB-6580

communicates with peripheral devices and check its hardware resources against the

configuration information stored in the CMOS memory. If any error is detected, or

the CMOS parameters need to be initially defined, the diagnostic program will

prompt the user to enter the SETUP program. Some errors are significant enough to

abort the start-up.

“Enabled” to enable power management function and effective based on

following parameter settings.

Video Power Down Mode

This option specifies the power conserving state that the VESA VGA video

subsystem enters after the specified period of display inactivity has expired.

Hard Disk Power Down Mode

This option specifies the power management state that the HDD enters after

the specified period of hard drive inactivity has expired. It is the same as

video power control. If user chooses “Stand By” or “Suspend”, it will

depend on period of parameter “Stand By Time out” or “Suspend Time

out”.

Stand by Time out (Minute)

This option specifies the length of the period of system inactivity while the

computer is in Full-On power state before the computer is placed in Standby

mode. When this length of time expires, the computer enters Standby

Timeout state. In Standby mode, some power use is curtailed.

Suspend Time out (Minute)

This option is the same as Stand by Time out function. These two features

will be enabled to monitor power of sub-items “Display Activity”, “Serial

port”, “Parallel Port”, “Floppy”, “Pri-HDD”, and “Sec-HDD”

independently. It is also used to control CPU throttle running function. All

of sub-items will be ineffective in selection of disabling “Stand by Time

out” or “Suspend Time out” even if it can be choose by user in BIOS setup

menu.

Throttle Slow Clock Ratio

This option specifies the speed at which the system clock runs in power

saving modes. The settings are expressed as duty cycle of the STPCLK#

signal. This duty cycle indicates the percentage of time the STPCLK#

signal is asserted while in the throttle mode.

Display Activity

This option specifies if BIOS is to monitor activity on the display monitor

for power conservation purposes. If set to Monitor and the computer is in a

power saving state, BIOS watches for video display activity. The computer

enters the full on power state if any activity occurs. BIOS reloads the

Standby and Suspend timeout timers if activity occurs on the specified IRQ

lines. If set to Ignore, video display monitor activity is not monitored.

IRQ Active

When set to Monitor, these options enable event monitoring on the

specified IRQ. If set to Monitor and the computer is in a power saving state,

BIOS watches for activity on the device with specified IRQ line. The

computer enters the full on power state if any activity occurs. BIOS reloads

the Standby and Suspend timeout timers if activity occurs on the specified

BIOS Setup Information

WEB-6580【R1.0】 User’s Manual 4-17

IRQ. No monitoring activity occurs if the option is set to Ignore. The

settings for each of these options are Monitor or Ignore.

4.8 PCI/Plug and Play Setup

This section describes configuring the PCI bus system. PCI (Peripheral

Component Interconnect) is a system which allows I/O devices to operate at

speeds nearing CPU’s when they communicate with own special

components.

All of options described in this section are important and technical and it is

strongly recommended that only experienced users could make any changes

to the default settings.

Plug and Play Aware O/S

Set this option to “Yes” if the operating system installed in the computer is

Plug and Play-aware. BIOS only detects and enables PnP ISA adapter cards

that are required for system boot. The Windows 95 operating system detects

and enables all other PnP-aware adapter cards. Windows 95 is PnP-aware.

Set this option to “No” if the operating system (such as DOS, OS/2,

Windows 3.x) does not use PnP. You must set this option correctly or

PnP-aware adapter cards installed in your computer will not be configured

properly.

Clear NVRAM

BIOS Setup Information

WEB-6580【R1.0】 User’s Manual 4-18

This option is used to clear NVRAM and check or update ESCD (Extended

System Configuration Data) data after system power on. Set this option to

No that will not clear NVRAM and the operation of update ESCD is

effective in different ESCD data comparison. If you select the “Yes” setting,

then the BIOS will update ESCD each time of power on.

PCI Latency Timer (PCI Clocks)

This option is used to control PCI latency timer period (follow PCI clocks).

Based on PCI specification 2.1 or later and PCI bus frequency in system,

user can select different timer to meet their PCI bus environment.

PCI VGA Palette Snoop

Some display cards that are non-standard VGA such as graphics

accelerations or MPEG video cards may not show colors properly. User can

choose “Enabled” setting to correct this display mismatch problem and

support any ISA adapter card installed in the computer requires VGA

palette snooping.

Allocate IRQ to PCI VGA

This option will be used to allocate IRQ for PCI VGA card. In general,

some of PCI VGA cards need IRQ support.

PCI IDE Bus Master

BIOS Setup Information

WEB-6580【R1.0】 User’s Manual 4-19

Set this option to Enabled to specify that the IDE controller on the PCI local

bus has bus mastering capability.

DMA Channel 0/1/3/5/6/7

These options specify if the named DMA channel is available for using on

the ISA/EISA bus or PnP (Plug & Play).

IRQ 3/4/5/7/9/10/11/12/14/15

These options specify the bus that the named interrupt request lines (IRQs)

are used on. These options allow you to specify IRQs for use by legacy ISA

adapter cards. These options determine if AMIBIOS should remove an IRQ

from the pool of available IRQs passed to devices that are configurable by

the system BIOS. The available IRQ pool is determined by reading the

ESCD NVRAM. If more IRQs must be removed from the pool, the end user

can use these PCI/PnP Setup to remove the IRQ by assigning the option to

the ISA/EISA setting. All IRQs used by on-board I/O are configured as

PCI/PnP.

4.9 Peripheral Setup

This section describes I/O resources assignment for all of on-board

peripheral devices.

On Board FDC

◎ Parallel Port Mode :

This option specifies the parallel port mode. ECP and EPP are both

bi-directional data transfer schemes that adhere to the IEEE P1284

specifications. This Parallel Port Mode includes four options “Normal”,

“Bi-Dir”, “EPP”, and “ECP”.

Setting Description

Normal Uni-direction operation at normal speed

Bi-Dir Bi-direction operation at normal speed

EPP

The parallel port can be used with devices that adhere to the Enhanced
Parallel Port (EPP) specification. EPP uses the existing parallel port
signals to provide asymmetric bi-directional data transfer driven by the
host device.

ECP

The parallel port can be used with devices that adhere to the Extended
Capabilities Port (ECP) specification. ECP uses the DMA protocol to
achieve data transfer rates up to 2.5 Megabits per second. ECP provides
symmetric bi-directional communication.

◎ EPP Version :

This option is only valid if the Parallel Port Mode option is set to EPP. This

option specifies the version of the Enhanced Parallel Port specification that

BIOS Setup Information

WEB-6580【R1.0】 User’s Manual 4-22

will be used by AMIBIOS.

◎ Parallel Port DMA Channel :

This option is only available if On Board Parallel Port is set to fixed
I/O address and the setting of Parallel Port Mode is ECP. This option

sets the DMA channel used by ECP-capable parallel port.

◎ Parallel Port IRQ :

This option is only valid if the Onboard Parallel Port option is not set
to Disabled. This option sets the IRQ used by the parallel port.

On Board IDE

BIOS Setup Information

WEB-6580【R1.0】 User’s Manual 4-23

“+3.300”, “+5.000V”, “+12.000V”.

4.11 BIOS POST Check Point List

AMIBIOS provides all IBM standard Power On Self Test (POST) routines

as well as enhanced AMIBIOS POST routines. The POST routines

support CPU internal diagnostics. The POST checkpoint codes are

accessible via the Manufacturing Test Port (I/O port 80h).

Whenever a recoverable error occurs during the POST, the system BIOS

will display an error message describing the message and explaining the

problem in detail so that the problem can be corrected.

During the POST, the BIOS signals a checkpoint by issuing one code to

I/O address 80H. This code can be used to establish how far the BIOS has

executed through the power-on sequence and what test is currently being

performed. This is done to help troubleshoot faulty system board.

If the BIOS detects a terminal error condition, it will halt the POST

process and attempt to display the checkpoint code written to port 80H. If

the system hangs before the BIOS detects the terminal error, the value at

port 80H will be the last

test performed. In this case, the terminal error cannot be displayed on the

screen. The following POST checkpoint codes are valid for all AMIBIOS

products with a core BIOS date of 07/15/95 version 6.27 (Enhanced).
