ePCI-101 User’s Guide

Before You Begin

Before handling the board, read the instructions and safety guidelines on the following pages to prevent damage to the product and to ensure your own personal safety. Refer to the “Advisories” section in the Preface for advisory conventions used in this user’s guide, including the distinction between Warnings, Cautions, Important Notes, and Notes.

♦ Always use caution when handling/operating the computer. Only qualified,

experienced, and authorized electronics service personnel should access the interior of the computer. The power supplies produce high voltages and energy hazards, which can cause bodily harm.

♦ Use extreme caution when installing or removing components. Refer to the

installation instructions in this user’s guide for precautions and procedures. If you have any questions, please contact Kontron Technical Support.

High voltages are present inside the chassis when the unit’s power cord is plugged into an electrical outlet. Turn off system power, turn off the power supply, and then disconnect the power cord from its source before removing the chassis cover. Turning off the system power switch does not remove power to components.

WARNING

vii

ePCI-101 User’s Guide

When Working Inside a Computer

Before taking covers off a computer, perform the following steps:

Turn off the computer and any peripherals.

Disconnect the computer and peripherals from power sources or subsystems to prevent electric shock or system board damage. This does not apply to when hot-swapping parts.

Follow the guidelines provided in “Preventing Electrostatic Discharge“ on the following page.

Disconnect telephone or telecommunications lines from the computer.

In addition, take note of these safety guidelines when appropriate:

♦ To help avoid possible damage to system boards, wait five seconds after turning off

the computer before removing a component, removing a system board, or disconnecting a peripheral device from the computer.

♦ When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its strain-relief loop, not on

the cable itself. Some cables have a connector with locking tabs. If you are disconnecting this type of cable, press in on the locking tabs before disconnecting the cable. As you pull connectors apart, keep them evenly aligned to avoid bending any connector pins. Also, before connecting a cable, make sure both connectors are correctly oriented and aligned.

Do not attempt to service the system yourself, except as explained in this user’s guide. Follow installation and troubleshooting instructions closely.

CAUTION

ePCI-101 User’s Guide

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge

Static electricity can harm system boards. Perform service at an ESD workstation and follow proper ESD procedure to reduce the risk of damage to components. Kontron strongly encourages you to follow proper ESD procedures, which means using wrist straps and smocks, when servicing equipment.

Take the following steps to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD):

♦ When unpacking a static-sensitive component from its shipping carton, do not remove

the component’s antistatic packing material until you are ready to install the component in a computer. Just before unwrapping the antistatic packaging, be sure you are at an ESD workstation or grounded. This discharges any static electricity that may have built up in your body.

♦ When transporting a sensitive component, first place it in an antistatic container or

packaging.

♦ Handle all sensitive components at an ESD workstation. If possible, use antistatic

floor pads and workbench pads.

♦ Handle components and boards with care. Do not touch the components or contacts

on a board. Hold a board by its edges or by its metal mounting bracket.

♦ Do not handle or store system boards near strong electrostatic, electromagnetic,

magnetic, or radioactive fields.

ePCI-101 User’s Guide

Working with Batteries

Care and Handling Precautions for Lithium Batteries

Your computer board has a standard, nonrechargeable lithium battery. To preserve the battery’s lifetime, the battery enable jumper has been removed for shipping.

♦ Do not short-circuit ♦ Do not heat or incinerate ♦ Do not charge ♦ Do not deform or disassemble ♦ Do not apply solder directly ♦ Do not mix different types or partially used batteries together ♦ Always observe proper polarities

ePCI-101 User’s Guide

Replacing Lithium Batteries

RS-232 Protocol When configured for RS-232 operation mode, the Serial Port 2 is 100% compatible with IBM-AT serial port signals.

RS-422 Protocol The RS-422 protocol (Full Duplex) uses both RX and TX lines simultaneously during a communication session.

2-14

ePCI-101 User’s Guide

In RS-422 mode, JP5 and JP6 jumper caps must be installed to connect the 120-ohm line termination resistors.

CAUTION

RS-485 Protocol During a communication session, the RS-485 protocol (Full Duplex) uses differential signals. It differs from the RS-422 mode by offering the ability to transmit and receive over the same pair of wires and allows the sharing of the communication line by multiple stations. This configuration (also known as Party Line) allows only one system to take control of the communication line at the time. In RS-485 mode, the RX lines are used as the transceiver lines and the RTS signal controls the direction of the RS-485 buffer. When set for RS-485 mode in the BIOS, upon power-up or reset, the transceiver is set by default in receiver mode to prevent unwanted disturbance on the line. The operation mode for party lines requires termination resistors to be installed at both ends of the network.

When installing the board at one end of the network, JP5 and JP6 jumper caps must be installed to connect the 120 ohms termination resistors. (See Setting Jumpers).

CAUTION

2.4.4 Parallel Port (J6)

The differences between Standard, EPP, and ECP modes appear in the signal assignation of the pins on the connector.

Standard Mode

The Standard mode is unidirectional and enables compatibility with the IBM PC standard.

EPP Mode

Note:

To operate in EPP or ECP mode, ensure the peripheral is designed to work in this mode and the BIOS setup is configured to support it.

The Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP) mode consists of a hardware independent method of accessing a parallel port configured as EPP. It provides support for single I/O cycle as well as the high performance block I/O transfers. The EPP mode always uses the most optimum method for I/O transfers. For example, if the hardware supports it, EPP mode will perform 32-bit I/O block transfers. EPP mode assumes that the parallel port can be used to connect more than one peripheral device using multiplexor or daisy chain configurations. A multiplexor is an external device that permits up to eight parallel port devices to share a single parallel port. A daisy chain device has two ports: input and output. The input port is connected either to the host parallel port or the daisy chain device in front of it. The output is used to connect the next peripheral device to the daisy chain. The last device, however, can be one without daisy chain support.

ECP Mode

The Extended Capabilities Port (ECP) mode works like the EPP mode, but it will take precedence over the EPP mode when addressing multiple logical devices in a single physical product. While the EPP mode may intermix read and write operations without overhead or protocol handshaking, the ECP mode negotiates data transfers using a request from the host and an acknowledgment from peripherals.

Note:

For more information on the ECP protocol, please refer to the Extended Capabilities Port Protocol and ISA Interface Standard (available from Microsoft Corporation) or contact our Technical Support Department.

memory.

• Wear a grounding wrist strap before removing the board from its package;

this will discharge any static electricity that may have built up in your body.

• Handle the board by the faceplate or its edges.

3-2

ePCI-101 User’s Guide

3.3.1 Installing Memory

On an anti-static plane, place the board so that you are

facing the DIMM socket. The edge bracket must be

located on the right.

Insert the DIMM into the socket, aligning the notches

on the module with the socket’s key inserts.

Push vertically the DIMM into the socket until the

retaining clips on each side snap on.

To remove a DIMM from a socket, push down the

retaining clips on each side of the socket, to release the

module. Pull the module upward to remove.

3.5 Backup Battery

An onboard 3V lithium battery provides back-up BIOS setup values and the real-time clock (RTC). When replacing, connect the battery as follows:

1. Remove the battery from the socket.

2. Insert a new battery in place with respect to the positive and negative location.

There is a danger of explosion if you replace the battery incorrectly.

Replace the battery with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions.

WARNING

3.5.1 Operation and Preventative Maintenance

The operational battery voltage must be between 2.4 and 3.0 volts.

When the board is stored in its original package, replace the battery if it falls below 2.4 volts.

For preventive operational maintenance, verify the battery voltage after four years. After that, check the safety voltage more often. Battery life expectancy depends upon board use.

4.1 PHOENIX BIOS Setup Program

All relevant information for operating the board and connected peripherals is stored in the CMOS memory. A battery-backed up memory holds this information when the board is powered off, the BIOS Setup program is required to make changes to the setup.

4.1.1 Accessing the BIOS Setup Utility

The system BIOS (Basic Input Output System) provides an interface between the operating system and the hardware of the ePCI-101 SHB. It uses the Phoenix Setup program, a setup utility in flash memory that is accessed by pressing the <DELETE> key at the appropriate time during system boot. This utility is used to set configuration data in CMOS RAM.

Before modifying CMOS setup parameters, ensure that the battery protection tape is removed to enable the CMOS battery back up.

To run the Phoenix Setup program incorporated in the ROM BIOS:

• Turn on or reboot the system.

• When you get the following message, hit <DELETE> key to enter SETUP.

4.1.2.8 Boot Utilities

Phoenix Boot Utilities are : Phoenix QuietBoot™ Phoenix MultiBoot™

Phoenix QuietBoot displays a graphic illustration rather than the traditional POST messages while keeping you informed of diagnostic problems.

Phoenix MultiBoot is a boot screen that displays a selection of boot devices from which you can boot your operating system.

4-18

ePCI-101 User’s Guide

4.1.2.9 Phoenix Quiet Boot

Right after you turn on or reset the computer, Phoenix QuietBoot displays the QuietBoot Screen, a graphic illustration created by the computer manufacturer instead of the text-based POST screen, which displays a number of PC diagnostic messages.

To exit the QuietBoot screen and run Setup, display the Multiboot menu, or display the PC diagnostic messages, you can press one of the hot keys described below.

The QuietBoot Screen stays up until just before the operating system loads unless:

• You press <ESC> to display the POST screen.

• You press <Del> to enter Setup.

• POST issues an error message.

• The BIOS or an option ROM requests keyboard input.

The following explains each of these situations.

4.1.2.10 Press <ESC>

Pressing <ESC> switches the POST screen and the boot process continues with the text-based POST screen until the end of POST, and then displays the BootFirst Menu, with these options:

1. Load the operating system from a boot device of your choice.

2. Enter Setup.

3. Exit the Boot First Menu (with <ESC>) and load the operating system from the boot devices in

the order specified in Setup.

4.1.2.11 Press <Del>

Pressing < Del > during POST enter Setup.

4.1.2.12 Keyboard Input Request

If the BIOS or an Option ROM (add-on card) requests keyboard input, QuietBoot switches over to the POST screen and the Option ROM displays prompts for entering the information. POST continues from there with the regular POST screen.

4.1.2.13 Phoenix Multiboot

Phoenix Multiboot expands your boot options by letting you choose your boot device, which could be a hard disk, floppy disk, CDROM, Flash Disk, SCSI or LAN. You can select your boot device in Setup, or you can choose a different device each time you boot during POST by selecting your boot device in The Boot First Menu (ESC key). Multiboot consist of:

• Setup Boot Menu

• Boot First Menu

4.3 Console Redirection (VT100 Mode)

The VT100 operating mode allows remote setups of the board. This configuration requires a remote terminal that must be connected to the board through a serial communication link.

4.3.1 Requirements

The terminal should emulate a VT100 or an ANSI terminal. Terminal emulation programs such as Telix© or ProComm

can also be used.

4.3.2 Setting Up and Configuring

To set up the VT100 mode:

1. Connect a monitor and a keyboard to your board and turn on the power.

2. Enter into the CMOS Setup program in the “Advanced” page, “Console Redirection” menu.

3. Select the VT100 mode and the appropriate COM port and save your setup.

4. Connect the communications cable.

Note:

If you do not require a full cable for your terminal, you can set up a partial cable by using only the TXD and RXD lines. To ignore control lines, loop them back as shown in VT100 Partial Setup cable diagram.

5. Configure your terminal to communicate using the same parameters as in CMOS Setup.

6. Install the VT100 jumper. Reboot the board.

7. Use the remote keyboard and display to set up the BIOS.

8. Save the setup, exit, and disconnect the remote computer from the board to operate in stand-

alone configuration.

Console Redirection is done by refreshing the video address @ B8000h at the selected baud rate. This means that a low baud rate refreshes the screen slowly, but the CPU time is maximized for the applications. A high baud rate refreshes the screen rapidly, but the display frequently interrupts the serial port.

4-21

ePCI-101 User’s Guide

Console Redirection provided by Phoenix based BIOS offers various escape sequences to emulate keyboard function keys. The following table lists the escape sequences available.

Escape sequence Function Escape sequence Function

Esc Del Warm Reset Esc [ 6 4 ~ (Ctrl-F1)

4.3.3 Running Without a Terminal

The board can boot up without a screen or terminal attached. If the speed is set to Auto and no terminal is connected, the speed is set to 115,200 bauds. You can run without a console by not enabling VT100 Mode and by disabling the onboard video.

F. BIOS Setup Error Codes

F.1 POST Beep

F.1.1 Recoverable POST Errors

Whenever a recoverable error occurs during POST, Phoenix BIOS displays an error message describing the problem. Phoenix BIOS also issues a beep code (one long tone followed by two short tones) during POST if the video configuration fails (no card installed or faulty) or if an external ROM module does not properly checksum to zero. An external ROM module (such as the VGA) also can issue audible errors, usually consisting of one long tone followed by a series of short tones.

F.1.2 Terminal POST Errors

There are several POST routines that issue a POST Terminal Error and shut down the system if they fail. Before shutting down the system, the terminal error handler issues a beep code signifying the test point error, writes the error to port 80h, attempts to initialize the video, and writes the error in the upper left corner of the screen (using both mono and color adapters). The routine derives the beep code from the test point error as follows:

1. The 8-bit error code is broken down to four, 2-bit groups.

Discard the most significant group if it is 00.

2. Each group is made one- based (1 through 4) by adding 1.

3. Short beeps are generated for the number in each group.

Example:

Test point 01Ah = 00 01 10 10 = 1- 2- 3- 3 beeps

F.1.3 Test Points and Beep Codes

At the beginning of each POST routine, the BIOS outputs the test point error code to I/O address 80h. Use this code during trouble shooting to establish at what point the system failed and what routine was being performed. If the BIOS detects a terminal error condition, it halts POST after issuing a terminal error beep code (See above) and attempting to display the error code on upper left corner of the screen and on the port 80h LED display. If the system hangs before the BIOS can process the error, the value displayed at the port 80h is the last test performed. In this case, the screen does not display the error code.
