1.5 Brief Description of the IMP-A157/A177/A197
The IMP-A157/A177/A197 are fanless / compact panel-mount industrial PCs, which come with a 15"
(luminance of 300 cd/m²), 17" (luminance of 350 cd/m²) or 19" (luminance of 300 cd/m²) TFT LCD.
They are powered by an Intel
These industrial panel PCs also feature a PCI expansion slot, three COM ports, four USB 2.0 ports,
one 2.5” HDD drive, a wide range DC 11~32V power input, etc.
The 'T' models are equiped with an analog resistive touch screen while the 'GT' models come with a
GFG (Glass-Film-Glass) touch screen.
GFG touch screens are not only resistant to scratch and abrasion but also to most of the chemicals.
Apart from that, glass is transparent and does not impair the brilliance of the picture at all.

Chapter 3: BIOS Setup
3.1 Introduction
3.1.1 BIOS setup program
The main BIOS setup menu is the first screen that you can navigate. Each main BIOS setup menu
option is described in this user’s guide.
The Main BIOS setup menu screen has two main frames. The left frame displays all the options that
can be configured. “Grayed-out” options cannot be configured.
The right frame displays the key legend. Above the key legend is an area reserved for a text message.
When an option is selected in the left frame, it is highlighted in white.
The default BIOS settings for this motherboard apply for most
conditions to ensure optimum performance. If the system
becomes unstable after changing any BIOS settings, load the
default settings to ensure system compatibility and stability.
Select the Load Default Settings item under the Exit Menu.
The BIOS setup screens shown in this section are for reference
purposes only, and may not exactly match what you see on
your screen.

IDE Detect Time Out (Sec)
Set this option to stop the AMIBIOS from searching for IDE devices within the specified number of
seconds. Basically, this allows you to fine-tune the settings to allow for faster boot times. Adjust
this setting until a suitable timing that can detect all IDE disk drives attached is found.
The default setting is 35.
Option Description
0 This value is the best setting to use if the onboard IDE controllers are set to a
specific IDE disk drive in the AMIBIOS.
5 Set this value to stop the AMIBIOS from searching the IDE bus for IDE disk
drives in five seconds. A large majority of ultra ATA hard disk drives can be
detected well within five seconds.
10 Set this value to stop the AMIBIOS from searching the IDE bus for IDE disk
drives in 10 seconds.
15 Set this value to stop the AMIBIOS from searching the IDE bus for IDE disk
drives in 15 seconds.
20 Set this value to stop the AMIBIOS from searching the IDE bus for IDE disk
drives in 20 seconds.
25 Set this value to stop the AMIBIOS from searching the IDE bus for IDE disk
drives in 25 seconds.
30 Set this value to stop the AMIBIOS from searching the IDE bus for IDE disk
drives in 30 seconds.
35 35 is the default value. It is the recommended setting when all IDE connectors
are set to AUTO in the AMIBIOS setting.
Note: Different IDE disk drives take longer for the BIOS to locate than others do.

3.3.3 Super I/O Configuration
Serial Port1 Address
This option specifies the base I/O port address and Interrupt Request address of serial port 1. The
Optimal setting is 3F8/IRQ4.
Option Description
Disabled Set this value to prevent the serial port from accessing any system resources.
When this option is set to Disabled, the serial port physically becomes
unavailable.
3F8/IRQ4 Set this value to allow the serial port to use 3F8 as its I/O port address and
IRQ4 for the interrupt address. This is the default setting. The majority of serial
port 1 or COM1 ports on computer systems use IRQ4 and I/O Port 3F8 as the
standard setting. The most common serial device connected to this port is a
mouse. If the system will not use a serial device, it is best to set this port to
Disabled.

Serial Port2 Address
This option specifies the base I/O port address and Interrupt Request address of serial port 2. The
Optimal setting is 2F8/IRQ3.
Option Description
Disabled Set this value to prevent the serial port from accessing any system resources.
When this option is set to Disabled, the serial port physically becomes
unavailable.
2F8/IRQ3 Set this value to allow the serial port to use 2F8 as its I/O port address a n d IRQ
3 for the interrupt address. This is the default setting. The majority of serial port
2 or COM2 ports on computer systems use IRQ3 and I/O Port 2F8 as the
standard setting. The most common serial device connected to this port is an
external modem. If the system will not use an external modem, set this port to
Disabled.
Note: Most internal modems require the use of the second COM port and use
3F8 as its I/O port address and IRQ 4 for its interrupt address. This requires
that the Serial Port2 Address be set to Disabled or another base I/O port
address and Interrupt Request address.
Serial Port3 Address
This option specifies the base I/O port address of serial port 3. The Optimal setting is 3E8.
Serial Port3 IRQ
This option specifies the Interrupt Request address of serial port 3. The Optimal setting is 10.
Option Description
Disabled Set this value to prevent the serial port from accessing any system resources.
When this option is set to Disabled, the serial port physically becomes
unavailable.
3E8/IRQ10 Set this value to allow the serial port to use 3E8 as its I/O port address and
IRQ10 for the interrupt address. This is the default setting. If the system will not
use a serial device, it is best to set this port to Disabled.

IRQ11 for the interrupt address. This is the default setting. If the system will not
use a serial device, it is best to set this port to Disabled.
Serial Port5 Address
This option specifies the base I/O port address of serial port 5. The Optimal setting is 2E0.
Serial Port5 IRQ
This option specifies the Interrupt Request address of serial port 5. The Optimal setting is 5.
Option Description
Disabled Set this value to prevent the serial port from accessing any system resources.
When this option is set to Disabled, the serial port physically becomes
unavailable.
2E0/IRQ5 Set this value to allow the serial port to use 2E0 as its I/O port address and
IRQ5 for the interrupt address. This is the default setting. If the system will not
use a serial device, it is best to set this port to Disabled.
