ARMD-HDD (ATAPI removable media device – hard disk drive)
6000 System board uses an Intel®/AMI BIOS that is stored in the
Firmware Hub (FWH) and can be updated using a disk-based program. The FWH contains the
BIOS Setup program, POST, the PCI auto-con guration utility, and Plug and Play support.
The MAXDATA
6000 System board supports system BIOS shadowing, allowing the
BIOS to execute from 64-bit onboard write-protected system memory.
The BIOS displays a message during POST identifying the type of BIOS and a revision code.
The initial production BIOS is identi ed as PT84510A.86B.
When the MAXDATA
6000 System board’s jumper is set to con guration mode and
the system is powered-up, the BIOS compares the processor version and the microcode
version in the BIOS and reports if the two match.
The BIOS can automatically configure PCI devices. PCI devices may be onboard or add-in

To use ATA-66/100 features the following items are required:
An ATA-66/100 peripheral device
An ATA-66/100 compatible cable
ATA-66/100 operating system device drivers
ATA-66/100 compatible cables are backward compatible with drives using slower IDE transfer
protocols. If an ATA-66/100 disk drive and a disk drive using any other IDE transfer protocol
are attached to the same cable, the maximum transfer rate between the drives is reduced
to that of the slowest device.
The BIOS Setup program and help messages are supported in two languages : US English
and Spanish. Additional languages may be ashed in if desired (German, Italian, and French
available). The default language is US English, which is present unless another language is
selected in the BIOS Setup program.
During POST, an Intel® splash screen is displayed by default. This splash screen can be
replaced with a custom splash screen . A utility is available from Intel
®
to assist with creating
a custom splash screen
. The custom splash screen can be programmed into the ash
memory using the BIOS upgrade utility. Information about this capability is available on the
Intel® Support World Wide Web site.
In the BIOS Setup program, the user can choose to boot from a diskette drive, hard drives,
CD-ROM, or the network. The default setting is for the diskette drive to be the rst boot
device , the hard drive second, and the ATAPI CD-ROM third. The fourth device is disabled.
Booting from CD-ROM is supported in compliance to the El Torito bootable CD-ROM format
speci cation. Under the Boot menu
in the BIOS Setup program, ATAPI CD-ROM is listed as a
boot device
. Boot devices are de ned in priority order. Accordingly, if there is not a bootable
CD in the CD-ROM drive, the system will attempt to boot from the next de ned drive.
The network can be selected as a boot device
. This selection allows booting from the on-
board NIC or a network add-in card with a remote boot ROM installed.

the operating system loader is invoked even if the following devices are not present:
These factors affect system boot speed:
It is possible to optimize the boot process to the point where the system boots so quickly
that the Intel
®
logo screen (or a custom logo splash screen ) will not be seen. Monitors and
hard disk drives with minimum initialization times can also contribute to a boot time that
might be so fast that necessary logo screens and POST messages cannot be seen.
This boot time may be so fast that some drives might be not be initialized at all. If this
condition should occur, it is possible to introduce a programmable delay ranging from three
to 30 seconds (using the Hard Disk Pre-Delay feature of the Advanced Menu in the IDE
Con guration Submenu of the BIOS Setup program).

For Wake on LAN technology, the 5 V standby line for the power supply must be capable of
providing adequate +5 V standby current. Failure to provide adequate standby current when
implementing Wake on LAN technology can damage the power supply.
If the standby current necessary to support multiple wake events from the PCI and/or USB
buses exceeds power supply capacity, the system board may lose register settings stored
in memory, etc.
The operation of Wake on Ring can be summarized as follows:

on how ACPI is con gured with an ACPI-aware operating system.

Table 5. Effects of Pressing the Power Switch
Under ACPI, the operating system directs all system and device power state transitions. The
operating system puts devices in and out of low-power states based on user preferences
and knowledge of how devices are being used by applications. Devices that are not being
used can be turned off. The operating system uses information from applications and user
settings to put the system as a whole into a low-power state.
Table 6 lists the power states supported by the System board board along with the associated
system power targets. See the ACPI speci cation for a complete description of the various
system and power states.

When you install and test the system board, observe all warnings and cautions in the
Installation Requirements
Follow these guidelines to meet safety and regulatory requirements when installing this
board assembly.
Read and adhere to all of these instructions and the instructions supplied with the chassis and
associated modules. If the instructions for the chassis are inconsistent with these instructions
or the instructions for associated modules, contact the supplier’s technical support to nd
