different types of commercial and industrial needs. Three Ethernet capability of the EM-561 Series
gives network administrators another tool to deal with today's changing application needs. The
board comes with the top-of-the-line Intel 82559 LAN chips could act as a firewall that sits
between the Internet and a company's internal network. This applies to Web (HTTP) servers, FTP
servers, SMTP (E-mail) servers or DNS servers. The EM-561 can also be used as an inter-network
gateway that connects a number of local networks. Once again, the three Ethernet capability and
processing power of the EM-561 Series gives it the ability to perform these functions.

The new EM-561 Series is enhanced with IntelÒ815E chipset; one 168-DIMM socket support up
to 100/133 MHz SDRAM and one DiskOnChip from M-System socket support up to 288MB flash
memory disk which provide full functionality and performance to be used "exactly" where you
need it as well. EM-561 also features high performance VGA display that support resolutions and
color depths up to 1600x1200 x256 color at 85Hz.

EM-561 has many expansion function such as one PCI expansion connector with one PCI riser
card; one FDD interface support up to two floppy devices ; two IDE ports that support up to four
IDE devices and Ultra ATA/100/66/33 interface helps designers and integrators improve system
performance by retrieving and sending data faster. Everything you could need is on-board.

In addition, it is equipped with two RS-232 serial ports; four USB ports; one multi-mode parallel
port which supports SPP, ECP and EPP modes. It provides more flexible functions to satisfy all
users' different application requirements.

The EM-561 also offers several industrial features such as a 16 -level watchdog time-out intervals
and contains the health monitoring hardware. The health monitoring IC keeps an eye on the
CPU and releases an audio alarm when detecting abnormal operating voltage & temperature or
malfunction of the cooling fans. And with its industrial grade reliability, the EM-561 can operate
continuously at temperatures up to 60° C (140° F). All these numerous features provide an ideal
price/performance solution for commercial and industrial applications where stability and reliability
are essential.

CHAPTER 3. Bios Setup

Award‘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.

3.1 Running AWARD BIOS

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 ”

Auto Dect DIMM/PCI Clk : This item allows you to enable / disable auto detect DIMM / PCI
Clock. The settings are “Enabled” and “Disabled”.

Spread Spectrum Modulated: When the system clock generator pulses, the extreme values of
the pulse generate excess EMI. Enabling pulse spectrum spread modulation changes the extreme
values from spikes to flat curves, thus reducing EMI. This benefit may in some cases be
outweighed by problems with timing-critical devices, such as a clock-sensitive SCSI device.

CPU Host Clock/PCI Clock/ PC133 : This item allows you to select the CPU Host / PCI Clock.
The item you can select including 100/33MHz, 103/34MHz, 110/34MHZ, 115/38MHz and Default.

CPU Clock Ratio: This item allows you to set up the CPU clock ratio. This function depends on
your CPU specification and the change might not take affect due to the CPU specification
limitation.
