Integrated circuits on computer boards are sensitive to static electricity. To avoid damaging chips from electrostatic discharge, observe the following precautions:
Do not remove boards or integrated circuits from their anti-static packaging until you are ready to install them.
Before handling a board or integrated circuit, touch an unpainted portion
of the system unit chassis for a few seconds. This helps to discharge any static electricity on your body.
Wear a wrist-grounding strap, available from most electronic component stores, when handling boards and components. Fasten the ALLIGATOR clip of the strap to the end of the shielded wire lead from a grounded object. Please wear and connect the strap before handle the HS-2601A to ensure harmlessly discharge any static electricity through the strap.
Please use an anti-static pad when putting down any components or parts or tools outside the computer. You may also use an anti-static bag instead of the pad. Please inquire from your local supplier for additional assistance in finding the necessary anti-static gadgets.
NOTE:
DO NOT TOUCH THE BOARD OR ANY OTHER SENSITIVE COMPONENTS WITHOUT ALL NECESSARY ANTI-STATIC ROTECTION.

SO-DIMM sockets out on the market these days have very fragile
NOTE:
contacts that attach to modules. We highly recommend you not to regularly remove the installed SO-DIMM from its socket. Doing so may wear out the contact between the socket and module.
3.7 DiskOnChip Address Setting
The DiskOnChip function allows the system to boot or operate without a FDD or a HDD. DiskOnChip modules may be formatted as drive C or A. With DiskOnChip, user may also execute DOS commands such as FORMAT, SYS, COPY, XCOPY, DISCOPY and DISKCOMP etc.
The U7 location onboard the HS-2601A is the DiskOnChip module socket. The board circuitry assigns a LOCKED starting memory address of the installed module at D000. If you have another memory device that has a similar memory capacity with that of the DOC in your system, please set both at different memory address mapping to avoid the mapping area conflicts. Failing to do so will not make the HS-2601A and the additional memory device function properly.
3.7.1 Installing DiskOnChip Modules
When installing a DiskOnChip module onto your board, please take note of the following:
1. Orient yourself properly with the location of the DiskOnChip socket. Try to locate the pin 1 location on your socket. Pin numbers are usually printed on either the component side or the solder side of your board.
2. Locate the Pin 1 location on your DiskOnChip module. More often than not, Pin 1 can be found on the lower right corner of the chip. Please refer to the diagram for the exact location.
10
3. Once you have figured out where the pin 1 locations are on both chip and socket, align the module’s pins on an upright angle against the socket. Using both thumbs, gently press the module into the socket until all the pins are secured to their designations.

3.20 Watchdog Timer
There are three access cycles of Watch-Dog Timer as Enable, Refresh
and Disable are the three access cycles of Watchdog Timer. The Enable cycle proceeds via READ PORT 443H whereas the Disable cycle proceeds via READ PORT 045H. A continued Enable cycle after a first Enable cycle means Refresh.
Once the Enable cycle is active, a Refresh cycle is requested before the time-out period. This restarts counting of the WDT period. When the time counting goes over the period preset of WDT, it will assume that the program operation is abnormal. A System Reset signal to re-start or a NMI cycle to the CPU transpires when such error happens. Jumper JP1 is used to select the function of Watchdog Timer.
JP1: Watchdog Timer Active Type Setting

The Watchdog Timer is disabled after the system Power-On. It can be enabled via an Enable cycle and reading the control port (443H), or via a Refresh cycle and reading the control port (443H), or via a Disable cycle and reading the disable control port (045H).
20
After an Enable cycle of WDT, user must immediately execute a Refresh cycle to WDT before its period setting comes to an end every 1, 2, 10, 20, 110 or 220 seconds. If the Refresh cycle does not activate before WDT period cycle, the onboard WDT architecture will issue a Reset or NMI cycle to the system. There are three I/O ports that control the Watchdog Timer.

Chapter 4
Award BIOS Setup
The HS-2601A uses Award PCI/ISA BIOS for the system configuration. The Award BIOS setup program is designed to provide the maximum flexibility in configuring the system by offering various options that could be selected for end-user requirements. This chapter is written to assist you in the proper usage of these features.
4.1 Starting Setup
The Award BIOS is immediately activated when you first power on the computer. The BIOS reads the system information contained in the CMOS and begins the process of checking out the system and configuring it. When it finishes, the BIOS will seek an operating system on one of the disks and then launch and turn control over to the operating system.
While the BIOS is in control, the Setup program can be activated 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 enter SETUP.
If the message disappears before you respond and you still wish to enter Setup, restart the system to try again by turning it OFF then ON or pressing the "RESET" button on the system case. You may also restart by simultaneously pressing <Ctrl>, <Alt>, and <Delete> keys. If you do not press the keys at the correct time and the system does not boot, an error message will be displayed and you will again be asked to...
PRESS F1 TO CONTINUE, DEL TO ENTER SETUP

4.11 Integrated Peripherals
:
The IDE hard drive controllers can support up to two separate hard drives. These drives have a master/slave relationship that is determined by the cabling configuration used to attach them to the controller. Your system supports two IDE controllers--a primary and a secondary--so you can install up to four separate hard disks.
PIO means Programmed Input/Output. Rather than having the BIOS issue a series of commands to affect the transfer to or from the disk drive, PIO allows the BIOS to tell the controller what it wants and then let the controller and the CPU perform the complete task by them. This is much simpler and more efficient (also faster).
