2.5.5 IDE port Connector: IDE1/ IDE2
The CPU card SYS7180VE provides a bus-mastering PCI IDE interfaces. These interfaces support PIO Mode 3, PIO Mode 4, ATAPI devices (e.g., CD-ROM), and Ultra DMA/33/66/100 synchronous-DMA mode transfers. The BIOS supports logical block addressing (LBA) and extended cylinder head sector (ECHS) translation modes. The BIOS automatically detects the IDE device transfer rate and translation mode.
Programmed I/O operations usually require a substantial amount of processor bandwidth. However, in multitasking operating systems, the bandwidth freed by bus mastering IDE can be devoted to other tasks while disk transfers are occurring.

Chapter 3 BIOS Setup
3.1 Introduction
This chapter discusses Award’s Setup program built into the FLASH ROM BIOS. The Setup program allows users to modify the basic system configuration. This special information is then stored in battery-backed RAM so that it retains the Setup information when the power is turned off.
The rest of this chapter is intended to guide you through the process of configuring your system using Setup.
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:

In Case of Problems
If, after making and saving system changes with Setup, you discover that your
computer no longer is able to boot, the Award BIOS™ supports an override to the CMOS settings which resets your system to its defaults.
The best advice is to only alter settings which you thoroughly understand. To this end, we strongly recommend that you avoid making any changes to the chipset defaults.
CHAPTER 3 - BIOS SETUP
These defaults have been carefully chosen by both Award and your systems manufacturer to provide the absolute maximum performance and reliability. Even a seemingly small change to the chipset setup has the potential for causing you to use the override.
A Final Note About Setup
The information in this chapter is subject to change without notice.

APPENDIX Watch-Dog-Timer (WDT) Setting
一. Definition for SYS7180VE watchdog
The watchdog timer can be adjusted by software setting from 1second to 239seconds or from 1 minute to 239 minutes. The I/O port is defined at address EFH. You can trigger/enable disable the timer by writing port EFH.
F0H: timer for minute F1H: timer for second 0: disable the timer
二. Test procedure in DOS Implement Debug order in MS-DOS: o ef f1 o ef 5 [ enter] The system will reset after 5 seconds
三. Assembly language example Timer for second: mov AL, f1 mov dx, ef out dx, AL mov AL, 65 (time for 65 sec. decimal system ) mov dx, ef out dx, AL
Timer for minute: mov AL, f0 mov dx, ef out dx, AL mov AL, 75 (time for 75 min. decimal system ) mov dx, ef out dx, AL
Disable the watchdog-timer: mov AL, 0 mov dx, ef out dx, AL
CHAPTER 3 - BIOS SETUP
NOTE: Because WIN NT,win2000,win2003,winXP are not effective by writing the port directly, so we must make lib filedriver or DLL first.
