Although the M54E2 system board is packaged in protective materials,
it is important to use care while unpacking and setting up.
Static Electricity
The M54E2 is shipped from the factory in an antistatic bag. To reduce
the possibility of damage, it is important to neutralize any accumulated
static charges on your body before handling the board. The best way to
do this is to ground yourself using a special wrist or ankle strap. If you
do not have a strap, you should touch both of your hands to a safely
grounded object. After you have grounded yourself, ground the M54E2
via the solder pads surrounding one of its mounting holes.
Once the M54E2 is removed from its packaging, place it on top of the
antistatic bag. Carefully inspect the board for damage which may have
occurred during shipment.
Office Environment
Make sure the finished computer system is in an area with good
ventilation. The system should not be in direct sunlight, near heaters,
or exposed to moisture, dust or dirt.

M54E2 System Board Manual
Section 3: Installing the M54E2
System Memory
System memory devices, commonly known as SIMMs (Single Inline Memory
Modules), are necessary to operate the M54E2 system board. The M54E2 has
eight SIMM sockets and can be upgraded to 512 Megabytes of RAM. This
section will explain the type of SIMMs supported, list the rules of adding
memory to the M54E2, give some examples of common memory configurations, and show how to physically install the new SIMMs.
SIMMs Supported
The M54E2 supports 72-pin, 60 or 70ns SIMMs in the following configurations:
4MB (1MBx32/36)
8MB (2MBx32/36)
16MB (4MBx32/36)
32MB (8MBx32/36)
64MB (16MBx32/36)
NOTE: For long term reliability, Micronics recommends using SIMMs with
tin-plated contacts. The use of gold-plated contacts may conflict with the tinalloy on the SIMM socket.
Upgrading Rules
The following is a list of rules to follow when upgrading SIMMs. If you
follow these rules, your upgrade should be trouble-free:
Use 70ns or faster SIMMs.
Upgrade SIMMs one bank at a time. Each bank must contain two
SIMMs of the same size and preferably from the same manufacturer.
For example, to add 16MB of memory to the system board, install
two 8MB SIMMs into the same bank.
When installing SIMMs, start with Bank 0 and work your way up
(0,1,2,3).

Configuration
After the M54E2 system board and all hardware is installed, the system
is ready for configuration. Before turning on the computer, make sure
all cables are correctly connected and all jumpers are correctly set.
It is recommended you keep the computer cover off the first time you
boot the system. If you have any difficulties, they will be easier to
correct.
Initial Boot Up
Power up the M54E2. If the system doesn’t properly boot, check all
your cables and peripherals for bad connections. You may also get beep
codes or error messages. If this occurs, consult Appendices A and/or B
for a guide to possible solutions.
After the system properly boots, it is ready to be configured. The
following pages explain the proper procedures for BIOS configuration.
M54E2 System Board Manual

Section 4: BIOS Setup Utility
Setup
The Setup program is used to configure the computer’s BIOS (Basic Input/
Output System). The computer’s BIOS is responsible for configuring the
motherboard and providing hardware information to the operating system. In
order for the computer to run properly, run the Setup procedure after first
installing the system board and whenever you make a hardware change to the
system.
After the system is turned on and goes through a memory test, the Power-Up
Screen (Figure 4-1) will appear on your monitor:
Figure 4-1: Power-Up Screen
When “Press <F2> to enter SETUP” appears at the bottom of the screen,
press the F2 key to begin the Setup procedure. The CMOS Main Screen
(Figure 4-2) should appear and the prompt should be on the time line. The
Setup procedure can only be activated during the boot sequence.
4-2
M54E2 System Board Manual
Section 4: BIOS Setup Utility
Running the Setup Procedure
The M54E2 system board has four primary CMOS configuration screens: the
Main Screen (Figure 4-2), the Advanced Screen (Figure 4-4), the Security
Screen (Figure 4-7), and the Exit Screen (Figure 4-9). To toggle between the
screens, press the right arrow <→> and the left arrow <←> keys.
Setting the Main Screen
The CMOS Main Screen (Figure 4-2) is used to set the time and date, to set
the floppy drive types, to configure the hard disks, and to configure the video.
This section explains how to configure each of these categories. To move
between the categories, use the up arrow <↑> and the down arrow <↓>.
Figure 4-2: CMOS Main Screen
System Time and Date
To set the time, use the <-> key to decrease the number and the <+> key to
increase the number. To move the prompt forward, use the <Tab> key; to
move the prompt backward, use the <Shift-Tab> key. To set the date, use the
M54E2 System Board Manual
4-3
Section 4: BIOS Setup Utility
up and down arrows<↑/↓> to highlight the System Date and follow the same
procedure used to set the time.
Diskette A or B
To configure a floppy drive added to or removed from your computer, use the
up and down arrow keys <↑/↓> to select the drive you wish to set. Use the
<+/-> keys to change the setting until it matches the floppy drive you have
installed. The BIOS supports 2.88MB, 1.44MB, 1.2MB, 720KB, and 360KB
floppy drives.
IDE Devices (Hard Disk Setup)
If you are setting up a SCSI hard disk, you will probably need to select [None]
in the IDE Device parameters (see your SCSI card manual for more details).
To install an IDE device, select the device you wish to configure and press
<Enter>. An IDE Device submenu will appear (Figure 4-3). The easiest way
to set your IDE devices is to let the BIOS do it for you. When the IDE Device
submenu first appears, the Autotype Fixed Disk selection will be highlighted.
Simply press <Enter> and the remaining information will automatically be
entered. Do not adjust the rest of the settings unless absolutely necessary. The
BIOS will automatically enter the optimal settings.
Video System
This sets the type of video board installed into the system. You may choose
from: VGA/SVGA (default), CGA 80x25 and Monochrome.
Video BIOS Shadow
Enabling the category allows you to “Shadow” the BIOS on the video card for
faster video performance. Some video cards do not support Video BIOS
Shadowing. Disable this option if video problems occur.
System Memory
The System Memory category identifies the size of the base memory. It
cannot be changed.
Extended Memory
The Extended Memory category automatically detects the amount of memory
installed above the amount in the System Memory category. Because the
BIOS automatically calculates the amount of memory installed in your
system, you cannot change this category without adding or removing memory.

The easiest way to set your IDE devices is to let the BIOS do it for you. When
the IDE Device submenu first appears, the Autotype Fixed Disk selection is
highlighted. Simply press ENTER and the remaining information is entered
automatically. Do not adjust the rest of the settings unless absolutely necessary. The BIOS automatically enters the optimal settings.
Type
This category selects the drive type installed in the system. The options are 139, User, and None. It is doubtful you will find your drive in 1-39.
If Autotype Fixed Disk does not find your drive’s parameters, fill this
information in manually under the User category. This information may be in
the manual which came with your system. If not, contact your dealer or the
hard drive manufacturer to fill in this category. If you are using a SCSI hard
drive, select None and refer to the documentation which came with the SCSI
adapter.

Introduction
The M54E2 is shipped with the Micro Computer System EISA Configuration Utility. The EISA Configuration Utility is a software utility
designed to configure EISA peripherals.
The MCS EISA utility is designed to optimize the performance of your
EISA peripherals and to maintain conflict-free configuration information. This is achieved through a series of initialization commands
stored in nonvolatile memory. The EISA Utility determines the
configuration, creates the initialization commands and makes sure the
configuration is correct.
NOTE: For more information on the EISA Configuration Utility,
consult the manual on the CF diskette.
When Should You Run the EISA Utility?
The EISA utility retains the configuration information in nonvolatile
memory. If this information is lost, the utility retains a backup copy
(the file with the .sci extension) on your hard disk. Run the EISA
utility the first time your computer is booted up and every time you add
or remove EISA, PCI or ISA Plug and Play peripheral cards.
What You Will Need
Prior to running the EISA utility, you will need to do the following:
❏ Install all peripheral cards.
❏ Locate and set aside the EISA Utility diskette and all diskettes that
came with your EISA peripherals. They contain the .cfg and .ovl
files necessary for configuration.

Appendix B: Beep and POST Codes

Beep and POST Codes
Beep codes are a series of beeps sent through the speaker that indicate
a problem during the Power On Self Test (POST). If text appears on
the video screen, the M54E2 has completed POST; any other tone
from the speaker indicates something other than a POST error. These
tones are not described in Table B-1.
The beep error codes are a series of beeps. The duration of the beep
tones are constant, but the length of the pauses between the beeps
varies. For example: a 1-3-3 beep code will sound like one beep, a
pause; three beeps consecutively, another pause; and then three more
beeps.
One beep code is often misunderstood. If a video card is not installed
or is failing, the system board will generate a long-short-long-short
beep code. This is often interpreted as a 1-2-1 beep code. But POST
errors always vary in the length of the pause and not the duration of
the beep tone.
Another way of identifying a POST error is to use a device called a
POST card. This peripheral card is inserted into one of the ISA slots
and has an LED (or LCD) read out showing the contents of port 80h.
The tables on the following page provides a list of all beep codes and
POST routines.

Appendix E: Updating the System BIOS
E
Updating the System BIOS
The Micronics motherboards are designed so that the BIOS can be
reprogrammed using a BIOS file. You can easily FLASH a BIOS by
following the steps below:
1) After downloading the appropriate BIOS file from our BBS,
extract it to a bootable MS-DOS 6.X diskette.
2) Reboot your system with the MS-DOS 6.X diskette in the A:
drive. To make sure a clean DOS environment is loaded, press
the F5 key while “Starting MS-DOS” is displayed. After the
system has rebooted, the cursor will appear at the A:> prompt.
3) Now you can run the FLASH utility. The filename will be either
“FSH” (or FSH20, FSH20G, etc.) or “PHLASH.” Type this
filename at the A:> prompt (but don’t include its extension),
followed by a space and the BIOS ROM image’s filename. This
file will be included in the download and has a file length of
about 131K. For example, to update the M54E2 to BIOS version
05, you would type:
PHLASH M54E2.05 [ENTER]
4) Once the FLASH process has begun, select [Y]es, if prompted, to
allow auto-sensing of the part (the FLASH chip itself).
5) After the update process has completed and the system reboots,
verify that the new BIOS version appears on-screen. If you have
problems during this process, or if you have questions about the
procedure, please call Technical Support.
NOTE: If the BIOS is somehow erased or doesn’t seem to accept the
upgrade, you can have your original BIOS chip reprogrammed
manually by Technical Support. There is a $29.95 fee for this
service, which includes shipping charges to send your FLASH
EPROM chip back to you. Also, a preprogrammed FLASH EPROM
chip can be purchased from Technical Support for $50.00. Overnight
shipping costs an additional $10.00. (Price and availability subject to
change.) If you prefer to send your system board in for the upgrade,
the RMA department offers this service free of charge if your system
board is under warranty.
