CHAPTER 1.

INTRODUCTION

The AP-545V is a half-size ISA single board computer for Socket 7 processor that is using the SIS’s BGA chipset SiS5598 that support the Ultra DMA-33 for faster hard drive, VGA and USB function. For boosting operation, this motivated card also supports sockets for a Flash Disk and one DIMM memory module. It offers the function of an industrial computer on a single board with on-board 2nd level cache RAM of 512KB for maximum performance.

The AP-545V is built with patent PCI piggyback expansion bus that is simply upgraded by changing one card from another without replacing the whole system. It provides the primarily elements for building an IBM PC/AT compatible computer for a wide variety of applications with system integration. The AP-545V is fully compatible with the IBM PC/AT which means virtually all the software written for the IBM PC/AT will run on the AP-545V SBC.

Other on-board features include two serial ports (one each of RS-232 and RS-232/422/485), one multi-mode parallel (ECP/EPP/SPP) port, a floppy drive controller and a keyboard interface and a PS/2 mouse interface. The built-in one high speed PCI IDE controller supports both PIO and bus master modes. Up to two IDE devices can be connected, including large hard disks, CD-ROM drives, tape backup drives and other IDE devices. Its 6-layer printed circuit board combines with noise-tolerant and low power consumption CMOS technology applied on the board makes AP-545V able to withstand any harsh industrial environments very well.

2.2 CPU INSTALLING AND UPGRADING

To upgrade to a higher power Pentium CPU, simply remove the old CPU and install to a new one; be sure to set the jumpers for the new CPU type and speed.

WARNING!

Disconnect the power cord from your system when you intend to work on it or you plan to open the chassis of your IPC. Do not make connections when the power is turned on as sensitive electronic components can be damaged by the sudden rush of power. Please only allow experienced electronics technicians to do this job.

STATIC ELECTRICITY PRECAUTION!

Caution! Computer components are very sensitive to damage from static electric discharge. Always ground yourself to remove static charge build-up before touching the boards in the computer. Use a grounding wrist strap at all time. Place all electronic components on the anti-static pad for static-dissipation or in a static-shielded bag when they are not in the chassis.

2.3 JUMPER SETTING OVERVIEW

In order to select the operation modes of your system, configure and set the jumpers on the your SBC to match the need of your application. To set a jumper, a black plastic cap containing metal contacts is placed over the jumper pins as designated by the required configuration as listed in this section. A jumper is said to be “ on ” or “ 1-2 ” when the black cap has been placed on two of its pins, as show in the figure below:

A pair of needle-nose pliers is recommended when working with jumpers. If you have any doubts about the best hardware configuration for your application, contact your local sales representative before you make any changes. In general, you simply need a standard cable to make most connections.

CHAPTER 3. AMI BIOS SETUP

The AMI‘s ROM BIOS provides a built-in Setup program that allows user to modify the basic system configuration and settings. The modified data will be stored in a battery-backed CMOS RAM so that these data will be retained even when the power is turned off. In general, the information saved in the CMOS RAM stay unchanged unless there is configuration change in the system, such as hard drive replacement or new equipment is installed. AMI is a registered trademark of the American Megatrends, Inc.

3.1 R

The Setup Utility is stored in the BIOS ROM. When the power of the computer system is turned on, a screen message appears to give you an opportunity to call up the Setup Utility; while the BIOS will enter the Power On Self Test (POST) routines. The POST routines perform various diagnostic checks while initializing the board hardware. If the routines encounter an error during the tests, the error will be reported in either of the two different ways, hear a series of short beeps or see an error message on the screen display. There are two kinds of error: fatal or non-fatal. The system can usually continue to boot up sequence with the non-fatal errors. Non-fatal error messages usually

appear on the screen along with the following instructions:

“ Press <F1> to RESUME ”

Write down the message and press the F1 key to continue the bootup sequence. After the POST routines are completed, the following message appears:

“ Press DEL to enter SETUP ”

Entering Setup

Turn on the power of the computer system and press <Del> immediately. If you don’t have the chance to respond, reset the system by simultaneously typing the <Ctrl>, <Alt> and <Delete> keys, or by pushing the ‘ Reset ’ button on the system cabinet. You can also restart by turning the system OFF then ON.

Sectors (Number of Sectors)

The number for a drive with a certain identification Parameters. The formatted capacity of the drive is (Number of heads) x (Number of cylinders) x (Number of sectors per track) x (512 bytes per sector) The number of cylinders in the disk drive.

The number of heads. The size of sector gets progressively smaller as the track Diameter diminishes. Yet each sector must still hold 512 bytes. Write precompensation circuitry on the hard disk compensates for the physical difference in sector size by boosting the write current for sectors on inner tracks. This parameter is the track number where write precompensation begin s. This number is the cylinder location where the heads will Normally park when the system is shut down. The number of sectors per track. MFM drives have 17 sectors per track. RLL drives have 26 sectors per track. ESDI drives have 34 sectors per track. SCSI and IDE drives have more sectors per track.

GLOSSARY

8-Bit Bus –

Data is transmitted to expansion slots and other components on the bus

only along 8 parallel data line.

10Base-T –

It is a 10Mbps IEEE 802.3/Ethernet standard that uses unshielded twisted pair cable specification. 10Base-T supports network configuration using the CSMA/CD access method over a twisted pair transmission system up to 100 meters in length without the use of repeater.

16-Bit Bus or ISA Bus –

Data is transmitted along either 8 or 16 data lines, depending on what kind of adapter card is used in an expansion slot. ISA is the abbreviation of Industry Standard Architecture.

100Base-TX –

It is a 100Mbps IEEE 802.3/Ethernet standard that uses UTP cable. Also called Fast Ethernet, it uses RJ-45 connectors and EIA/TIA T568B pinning. Maximum cable length from hub to node is 100 meters without a repeater.

Adapter –

It is also called an expansion board, expansion card, or adapter card. It is a small circuit board that is installed in the expansion slots on the motherboard. You can install a particular adapter that connects a new device such as internal modem, sound card, and scanner.

AGP (Advanced Graphic Port ) –

is a new 32-bit interface, with external clock rate of 66MHz that transmit a maximum of 528MB of data. It has a clock speed of 133MHz, which is four times the speed of PCI interface.

BIOS (Basic Input /Output System) –

This is a chip on the motherboard that contains

the instructions for starting up, or booting, the computer, and more.

Bus –

Data that travels in a computer along the circuits on the motherboard are called buses. Although three main buses (data bus, address bus, and control bus) manage the computer’s operation, often these are collectively called the bus. The bus carries instructions back and forth between the CPU and other devices in the system. ISA,

GLOSSARY

EISA, VL-Bus, PCI and SCSI are examples of PC buses.

Bus Mastering –

A method of transferring data through a bus in which the device takes over the bus and directly controls the transfer of data to the computer’s memory. Bus mastering is a method of Direct Memory Access (

DMA

) transfer.

Cache –

Cache RAM is an extra holding area for program instructions that need to be frequently used by the CPU or swapped in and out of RAM. Your CPU can usually access those instructions from the cache more quickly than it could from a hard disk or even RAM, so a cache helps the system work more efficiently. Most systems sold today offer either 256K or 512K cache.

CPU (Central Processing Unit) –

executes all commands and controls the flow of data, providing the “ brain ” that enables the PC to calculate and perform the operations like sorting information more quickly than a human could. The CPU makes perhaps the greatest contribution to a PC’s speed and power. Note: Any additional information is subject to change without prior revision from the supplier.

offering mandatory parity checking improvements over SCSI-1.

IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) –

It was developed from ST-506 type hard drive interface, utilizes BIOS INT 13h hard drive secondary software and supports two hard drives (Master and Slave). Do not need extra software to drive since it is directly initiated in the BIOS. Data transfer rate is 4.1 Mbps. Take note that this interface cannot support other drive like CD-ROM drive.

IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers) –

It is an international professional society that issues its own standard, and is a member of ANSI and ISO. Popular known standards is:

IEEE802.3

– is a physical layer standard for 10Base-T,

100Base-T, Ethernet, and StarLAN.

IEEE802.5 IEEE802.11

Mouse –

The keyboard is a barrier to learn how to use a computer. Xerox Corporation first developed the concept of a pointing device, something a computer user could move with his or her hand, causing a corresponding move on screen. Because of its size and tail like cable, the device was named for the mouse. Apple Computer made the mouse a standard feature of its Macintosh computers, and with the popularity of Windows, a mouse is becoming standard equipment on all PCs, as well. The

” are popular with architects and engineers who must translate precise movements of a pen into lines on the screen. “ Touch screens “, on which you press either your finger and a special light pen to control the software, are too tiring to use for any length of time.

MMXÔ –

CPU’s with MMXÔ technology are optimized to run multimedia application, and therefore, offer faster multimedia playback than standard CPUs. However, when manufacturers introduce any new hardware technology, the software makers need to catch up. At this time of compilation, most applications can’t yet take advantage of MMXÔ capabilities.

Parallel port –

Parallel ports (labeled

in printers. It is also often called a

printer port

with

. Although a serial port can also be used to send data from a PC to

LPT1, LPT2

, and so on) are usually for plugging

Centronics port

– has been almost synonymous

some models of printers, the parallel port is faster. A serial port sends data one bit at a time over a single one-way wire; a parallel port can send several bits of data across eight parallel wires simultaneously. Take note that a serial connection sends a single

bit, a parallel port send an entire byte. A parallel connection has one drawback.

GLOSSARY

PCI Bus (Peripheral Component Interconnect) –

It is a connection slot in a motherboard that supports 32-bit bus transfer rates. The now standard PCI Local Bus carries data along at least 32 lines, that is, at least 32 bits at a time. Local bus computer designs add special buses so the CPU can communicate directly with key components like the monitor, resulting in much better performance. You should look for PCI local bus capabilities in any system you buy, especially PCI local bus video (which helps the monitor display more quickly).

POST (Power-On Self-Test) –

is the first thing your PC does when you turn it on, and it’s your first warning of trouble with any of the components. When the POST detects an error from the display, memory, keyboard, or other basic components, it produces an error warning in the form of a message on your display and — in case your display is part of the problem — in the form of a series of beeps.

RAM (Random Access Memory) –

consists of a bank of chips that act as “ working memory ”, holding program instructions and data only while your computer’s on. Unless the instructions and data are saved to a disk, RAM forgets them when you turn your computer off. RAM is measured in megabytes (M). Most computers today come with 32M of RAM, though some sell with only 16M installed. There are a few different flavors and speeds of RAM, as well. One of the most prominent today is Extended Data Output ( EDO ) RAM, but an even faster type of RAM that has just hit the market is called

SyncDRAM

.

Serial port –

Serial ports are also sometimes called

ports, and are labeled

COM1, COM2

, and so on. It is simple in concept: one line to

COM

(short for COMmunications)

send data, another line to receive data, and a few other lines to regulate how data is sent over the other two lines – from commonplace modems and printers to plotters and burglar alarms. The most common use for serial port is with a

mouse

or

modem

The reason for this is that a serial port is not a very efficient way to transfer data, so little data that speed is not crucial, and perfect for modems because. With current technology, phone lines cannot transport more than one signal at a time anyway. The

serial port

is often referred to as an

RS-232 port

.

SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) –

An intelligent bus for transmitting data commands

between a variety of devices. There are many implementations of SCSI, including Fast SCSI, Wide

SCSI, Fast Wide SCSI, Fast-20, and Fast-40.

GLOSSARY

SCSI-2 –

The second generation of SCSI; includes many improvements to SCSI-1, including Fast

SCSI, Wide SCSI, and mandatory parity checking.

SCSI-3 –

The third generation of SCSI; introduces Fast-20 and Fast-40 as improvements to the parallel bus. The standard also includes a number of specifications for high-speed serial bus architectures such as SSA, Fiber Channel, and IEEE 1394. Also known as Ultra SCSI.

Ultra SCSI –

Also known as SCSI-3, is a third generation SCSI standard that introduced parallel bus

speed improvements (FAST-20 and FAST-40), an the miniaturized 68-pin micro connector.

USB (Universal Serial Bus) –

USB consolidates serial, parallel, keyboard, mouse, and game ports into one asynchronous and isochronous communications port with bandwidth for data transfer speeds up to 12 Mbps without termination. By daisy-chaining USB hubs, up to 127 I/O devices can be connected to one USB port on the PC. USB is completely plug-and play meaning peripherals can be correctly detected and configured automatically as soon as they are connected.

UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) –

Twisted Pair

are two wires twisted together to reduce susceptibility to RF crosswalk.

Twisted pair cable with neither individual nor overall shielding.

VGA (Video Graphics Array) –

A video adapter that supports 640x480 pixels color resolution.

The Windows OS provides medium text & graphics standard.

VL-Bus –

It is also known as Local Bus; this is an I/O interface that is directly connected and

depended of the system CPU. The VL-Bus is an abbreviation of VESA Local Bus.
