2-3 How to Set Jumpers
You can configure your board by setting the jumpers. Jumper
consists of two or three metal pins with a plastic base mounted
on the card, and by using a small plastic “cap”, Also known as
the jumper cap (with a metal contact inside), you are able to
connect the pins. So you can set-up your hardware
configuration by “opening” or “closing” the pins.
The jumper can be combined into sets called jumper blocks.
When the jumpers are all in the block, you have to put them
together to set up the hardware configuration. The figure below
shows what this looks like.
JUMPERS AND CAPS
Pin Jumper
3 Pin Jumper
Jumper Block
Jumper Cap
If a jumper has three pins (for example, labelled PIN1, PIN2,
and PIN3), You can connect PIN1 & PIN2 to create one setting
and shorting. You can connect PIN2 & PIN3 to create another
setting. The same jumper diagrams are applied all through this
manual. The figures on the next page will show you what the
manual diagrams look like and what they represent.

Function
The CommPlete 4000 is equipped with a “green function” that
allows it to operate using reduced electrical power when the
machine is inactive. When in green mode, the CommPlete 4000
slows down and shuts down certain computer functions in order
to reduce power consumption. There are three reduced-power
operating modes (presented in order of increasing power
savings):
(1) CPU Doze Mode,
(2) System Standby Mode,
(3) System Suspend Mode .
By default, however, the green function is turned off.

Award BIOS Setup
Chapter 5 - Award BIOS
Setup
5.1 Introduction
This chapter describes the function of the BIOS in managing the
features of your system and how to configure the BIOS in its
Setup Menu. The IPC-623C single-board computer is equipped
with a system BIOS chipset from Award Software Inc.
Your application programs (such as word processing,
spreadsheets, and games) rely on an operating system such as
DOS or OS/2 to manage such things as keyboard, monitor, disk
drives, and memory.
The operating system, in turn, relies on a BIOS (Basic Input and
Output system), a program stored on a ROM (Read-only
Memory) chip, to initialize and configure your computer’s
hardware. As the interface between the hardware and the
operating system, the BIOS enables you to make basic changes
to your system’s hardware without having to write a new
operating system.
The following diagram illustrates the interlocking relationships
between the system hardware, BIOS, operating system, and an
application program:

CommPlete Series 4000 Server SBC, Model IPC-623C 49
Award BIOS Setup
The Setup program built into the Award BIOS lets users modify
the basic system configuration. This special configuration
information is then stored in battery-backed RAM so that the PC
retains the Setup information when the power is turned off.
The Award BIOS is a custom version of an industry standard
BIOS. It supports Intel/Cyrix/AMD processors in a standard
IBM-AT compatible input/output system. The BIOS provides
critical low-level support for standard devices such as disk
drives and serial and parallel ports.
The Award BIOS has been customized by adding important, but
non-standard, features such as virus and password protection
as well as special support for detailed fine-tuning of the chipset
that controls the entire PC system.
Descriptions in this chapter will help you configure your system
using the BIOS Setup screens.
Note: MultiTech has pre-set the BIOS before shipping the CommPlete 4000.
In most cases, the user will not need to change any BIOS settings. However, if any hardware within the CommPlete 4000 has been changed, or if
the boot sequence has been changed, the user will need to revise the BIOS
accordingly.
5-2 Entering Setup
To enter the BIOS Setup screen, power on the computer and
then press the Delete key immediately. The other way to enter
Setup is to power on the computer and then, when the below
message appears briefly at the bottom of the screen during the

Figure 5-3: Standard CMOS Setup Screen
In the above table the base memory size and the extended
memory size are displayed. This is automatically read from your
system. You do not need to set these parameters. The screen
displays the date and time, which the operator must set
correctly after powering up the computer. The format of the
date/time display is as follows:
Date:
< Month >, < Date > and <Year >. Ranges for each value are in
the CMOS Setup Screen, and the week-day will be skipped
automatically.

Award BIOS Setup
Time:
< Hour >, < Minute >, and < Second >. Use 24 hour clock
format, i.e., for “p.m.” numbers, add 12 to the hour. For
example, 4: 30 p.m. should be expressed as 16:30:00.
Drives: Primary Master/Slave & Secondary Master/
Slave
In general, the IPC-623C can handle four disk drives: a primary
master, a primary slave, a secondary master, and a secondary
slave. The hard drive shipped with the CommPlete 4000 will be
a “Primary Master” drive designated as Drive C. An IDE
CDROM may optionally function as a Primary Slave drive and
be designated as Drive D. The “type” and “mode” settings for
the primary master and the primary slave drives should, in most
cases, be AUTO. The default configuration state for the
secondary master/slave is DISABLED.
When this field of the Standard CMOS Setup screen is set to
AUTO, the IPC-623C will automatically detect the hard drive(s)
in the system. The IPC-623C can auto-detect 45 specific drive
types ( designated 1-45 in this field).
The drive type can also be entered manually. If entered
manually, the drive in use must match the type entered in this
field. If the drive being used is not of the type specified in this
field, it will not work properly in the CommPlete 4000. For drives
not on the list of 45 types, a user-defined drive can also be
specified in this field (as type “User”). When “User” is selected
for this field, the operator must specify the parameters of the
hard drive (number of cylinders, heads, etc.). This information
should be provided in the documentation for the hard drive unit
(this information is often specified on the exterior of the hard
drive unit, as well).
Note: If your IPC-623C has trouble detecting your hard drive when the
Type field in the Standard CMOS Setup screen is set to AUTO, then you
should enable the IDE HDD Auto Detection function in the CMOS Setup
Utility screen. If the hard drive is still not detected, designate the Type as
User and enter the hard-drive values into the Standard CMOS Setup screen

The parameters accessible on this screen govern the system’s
default speed, boot-up sequence, keyboard operation,
shadowing and security.
Note: MultiTech presets all BIOS features before shipping the CommPlete
4000. BIOS features should not be changed except by expert operators.
Virus Warning
When this item is enabled, the Award BIOS will monitor the boot
sector and partition table of the hard disk drive for any attempt
at modification.
CPU Internal Cache/External Cache
These two categories speed up memory access. However, it
depends on CPU chipset design.
Page 57
CommPlete Series 4000 Server SBC, Model IPC-623C 57
Award BIOS Setup
CPU L2 Cache EDD Checking
This item allows you to enable/disable CPU L2 Cache ECC
Checking.
Quick Power On Self Test
This setting affects the duration of the Power On Self Test
(POST), which occurs after you power up the computer. If
enabled, the BIOS will shorten or skip some ‘check items’ during
the POST.
Boot Sequence
This setting determines the sequence for which drive to look for
first when the system boots up. You may set the system to look
at drive A: and then at drive C: or vice versa.
Swap Floopy Drive
This setting is effective only in systems where there are two
floppy drives. Selecting enabled assigns physical swapping or
drive B to logical Drive A and physical drive A to logical drive B.
Boot Up Floppy Seek
You may enable/disable this item to define whether the system
will look for a floppy disk drive to boot at power-on, or directly to
the hard disk drive.
Boot Up NumLock Status
This allows you to determine the default state of the numeric
keypad. By default, the system boots up with NumLock on.
Gate A20 Option
This entry allows you to select how gate A20 is handled. Gate
A20 is a device used to address memory above 1 Mbyte.
Initially, Gate A20 was handled by a pin on the keyboard.
Today, while keyboards still provide this support, it is more
common, and much faster, for the system chipset to provide
support for gate A20.
Page 58
58 CommPlete Series 4000 Server SBC, Model IPC-623C
Award BIOS Setup
Typematic Rate Setting
Enable the “typematic” function if you want to be able to
configure the key-repetition characteristics of your keyboard.
Typematic refers to the way in which characters are entered
repeatedly if a key is held down. For example, if you press and
hold down the “A” key, the letter “a” will repeatedly appear on
your screen until you release the key. This setting is disabled by
default.
Typematic Rate (Chars/Sec)
When the typematic rate is enabled, the “typematic rate”
selection allows you select the rate at which a ‘held-down’ key
accelerates.
Typematic Delay (Msec)
When the typematic rate is enabled, this selection allows you to
select the delay between when the key is first depressed and
when the acceleration begins.
Security Option
Allows you to limit access to the system and Setup, or just
Setup.
System The system will not boot and access to Setup will be
denied if the correct password is not entered at the
prompt.
Setup The system will boot, but access to Setup will be
denied if the correct password is not entered at the
prompt.
Note: To disable security, select PASSWORD SETTING at the main menu.
You will be asked to enter a password. Do not type anything; just press
Enter, and security will be disabled. Once its disabled, the system will boot
and you can enter Setup freely.
PCI/VGA Palette Snoop
This setting determines whether the MPEG ISA/VESA VGA
cards can work with PCI/VGA or not.

CommPlete Series 4000 Server SBC, Model IPC-623C 59
Award BIOS Setup
OS SELECT FOR DRAM>64MB
This setting allows you to access the memory over 64MB is OS/2.
You may choose OS2 or Non-OS2.
Report No FDD for Win 95
Whether you report no FDD for Win 95 or not.
Video BIOS Shadow
Determines whether the video BIOS will be copied to RAM.
However, it is optional depending on chipset design. Video
Shadow will increase the video speed.
C8000 - CFFFF Shadow/DC000 - DFFFF Shadow
Determines whether option ROMs will be copied to RAM or not.
An example of such option ROM would be support of on-board
SCSI hard-drive functionality.

chipset parameters. When disabled, chipset parameters revert
to setup information stored in CMOS. Many fields in this screen
are not available when Auto Configuration is Enabled.
EDO DRAM Speed Selection
The DRAM timing is controlled by the DRAM Timing Registers.
The timings programmed into this register are dependent on the
system design. Slower rates may be required in certain system
designs to support loose layouts or slower memory.

SDRAM RAS-to-CAS Delay
You can select RAS to CAS Delay time in HCLKs of 2/2 or 3/3.
The system board designer should set the values in this field,
depending on the DRAM installed. Do not change the values in
this field unless you change specification of the installed DRAM
or the installed CPU.
SDRAM RAS Precharge Time
Defines the length of time the Row Address Strobe is allowed to
precharge.
SDRAM CAS Latency Time
You can select CAS latency time in HCLKs of 2/2 or 3/3. The

error may result.
Video RAM Cachable
Select Enabled allows caching of the video RAM, resulting in
better system performance. However, if any program writes to
this memory area, a system error may result.
8 Bit I/O Recovery Time
The recovery time is the length of time, measured in CPU
clocks, which the system will delay after the completion of any
Input/output request. This delay takes place because the CPU
is operating so much faster than the input/output bus that the
CPU must be delayed to allow for the completion of the I/O.
This item allows you to determine the recovery time allowed for
8bit I/O.
16 Bit I/O Recovery Time
This item allows you to determine the recovery time allowed for
16bit I/O. Choices from NA, 1 to 4 CPU clocks.
Memory Hole at 15M-16M
In order to improve performance, certain space in memory can
be reserved for ISA cards. This memory must be mapped into
the memory space below 16Mb.
Passive Release
When enabled, CPU to PCI bus accesses are allowed during
passive release. Otherwise, the arbiter only accepts another
PCI master access to local DRAM.
Delayed Transaction
The chipset has an embedded 32-bit posted write buffer to
support delay transactions cycles. Selected Enabled to support
compliance with PCI specification version 2.1.
Page 63

Figure 5-7: PNP/PCI Configuration
This section describes how to configure PCI bus system. PCI,
also known as Personal Computer Interconnect, is a system
which allows I/O devices to operate at speeds nearing the
speed of the CPU when communicating with its own special
components. This section covers technical items, which is
strongly recommended for experience users only.
You can manually configure the PnP/PCI Device’s IRQ.
Highlight the selected item and pressing <F1> key, all the
options for the desired selection will be displayed for choice.
Resource Controlled by
The Award Plug and Play BIOS can automatically configure all
the booth and Plug and Play-competitive devices. If set to Auto,
all interrupt request (IRQ) and DMA assignment fields
disappear, as the BIOS automatically assigns them.

Reset Configuration Data
When enabled, the system will reset Extended System
Configuration Data (ESCD) when you exit Setup, if you have
installed a new add-on and the system reconfiguration has
caused such a serious conflict that the operating system cannot
boot.
IRQ # Assigned to
If resources are controlled manually, assign each system
interrupt as Legacy ISA devices or PCI/ISA PnP devices.
Legacy ISA Devices complaint with the original PC AT bus specification,
requiring a specific interrupt IRQ4 for serial port 1.
PCI/ISA PnP Devices complaint with the Plug and Play standard,
whether designed for PCI or ISA bus architecture.
DMA # Assigned to
If resources are controlled manually, assign each system DMA
channel as Legacy ISA devices or PCI/ISA PnP devices.
Legacy ISA Devices complaint with the original PC AT bus specification,
requiring a specific interrupt IRQ4 for serial port 1.
PCI/ISA PnP Devices complaint with the Plug and Play standard,
whether designed for PCI or ISA bus architecture.

5-11 Password Setting
Access to the computer system in general or to the BIOS
settings in particular can be put under password protection
using this function. When you select PASSWORD SETTING on
the
CMOS Setup Utility
menu, the following dialog box will
appear at the center of the screen to assist you in creating a
password.
Enter Password
Type the password, up to eight characters in length, and press
Enter. The password typed now will clear any previously
entered password from CMOS memory. You will be asked to
confirm the password. Type the password again and press
Enter. You may also press Esc to abort the selection and
not
enter a password.
Caution: Losing or forgetting your system password will render your
computer unusable. Assign a password only if it is necessary for security
purposes. Restoring access after loss of a password is nontrivial and requires
the clearing and re-loading of BIOS settings. If a password is forgotten or
lost, contact MultiTech Technical Support to establish a new password.
To disable a password, just press Enter when you are
prompted to enter the password. A message will confirm that the
password is to be disabled. Once the password has been
disabled, the system will boot and you can enter Setup freely.
Password Disabled
When a password has been enabled, you will be prompted to
enter it every time you try to enter Setup. This prevents an
unauthorized person from changing any part of your system
configuration.

Troubleshooting
C-1 Introduction
This appendix outlines errors that may occur during system
operation and likely remedies for these problems.
C-2 Troubleshooting with Error Messages
This section describes error messages and their use in
troubleshooting. Since many errors can be caused by poor
cable connections, you should verify that all cables have been
connected firmly to their proper receptacles. If error messages
persist after the recommended adjustments have been made,
contact MultiTech Systems for maintenance.
Post Beep: The BIOS generates two beeping (audible) error
codes.
1 A single long beep followed by three short beeps indicates
that a video error has occurred and the BIOS cannot initialize
the video screen to display any additional information.
2 A single long beep sounded repeatedly indicates that a
DRAM error has occurred.
CMOS Battery Failure: If the CMOS battery is low or dead, it
should be replaced. The battery is located inside the real-time
clock chip. Replacement requires soldering. The user should
return the IPC-623C to MultiTech Systems for repair if the clock
fails.

CMOS Checksum Error: This error indicates that the CMOS
has been corrupted. Corruption may be caused by a weak
battery.
Display Switch Is Set Incorrectly: The display switch on the
motherboard can be set to either monochrome or color. This
error message indicates that the switch setting does not match
the video display mode specified in the Setup screen.
Determine which setting is correct. Then either turn off the
system and change the jumper, or enter Setup and change the
entry in the “Video” field.
Disk Boot Failure: When you can‘t find the boot device, insert
a system disk into Drive A and press < Enter >. Make sure that
the controller and the cables are in their proper positions and
that the hard disk drive has been formatted correctly. Then
reboot the system.
Diskette Drives Or Types Mismatch Error: When the diskette
drive type is different from the settings specified in CMOS (BIOS
Setup), run Setup and re-configure the drive.
Error Encountered Initializing Hard Drive: If you cannot
initialize the hard drive, check that the adapter has been
installed correctly and that all cables are correctly and firmly
attached. Also be sure the correct hard-drive type has been
selected in the BIOS Setup.
Error Initializing Hard Disk Controller: When this error
occurs, check to see that the cable connecting the hard drive to
the motherboard is seated properly in its receptacle. Make sure
the correct hard-drive type has been selected in the BIOS
Setup. Also, check to see that all of the jumpers in the hard disk
drive unit have been set correctly.
Floppy Disk Controller Error or No Controller Present:
When you cannot find or initialize the floppy drive controller,
please check that the controller settings in the BIOS Setup
screen match the actual controller being used. If no floppy
drives are installed in your PC, be sure the Diskette Drive
field of the Setup screen is set to NONE.

Keyboard Error Or No Keyboard Present: When this error
message appears, check to see that your keyboard is attached
properly to its receptacle. Make sure JP6 is jumpered for
keyboard. Also, be sure that no keys are being pressed during
the booting process. If you are purposely configuring the
system without a keyboard, set the error halt condition in Setup
to HALT ON ALL, BUT KEYBOARD. This will cause the BIOS to
ignore the missing keyboard and continue the boot.
Memory Address Error: If the memory address indicates an
error, use the specified location and the memory map for your
system to find and replace the bad memory chips.
Memory Size Has Changed: Memory has been added or
removed since the last boot. In EISA mode, use the
Configuration Utility to re-configure memory. In ISA mode, enter
the BIOS Setup screen and type the new memory size in the
memory field.
Memory Verifying Error : It indicates an error verifying a value
already written to memory. Use the specified memory location
and your system’s memory map to locate the bad chip.
Offending Address Missing: This message is used in
connection with the I/O CHANNEL CHECK and RAM PARITY
ERROR messages when the segment that has caused the
problem cannot be isolated.
Reboot Error: When this error occurs, you must re-boot.
Press any key and the system will re-boot.
System Halted: Indicates that the present boot attempt has
been aborted and the system must be re-booted. Press and
hold down the CTRL and ALT keys and press DEL.
