Warnings
Read and adhere to all warnings, cautions, and notices in this guide and the documentation supplied with the chassis, power supply, and accessory modules. If the instructions for the chassis and power supply are incon­sistent with these instructions or the instructions for accessory modules, contact the supplier to find out how you can ensure that your computer meets safety and regulatory requirements.
Cautions
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage system components. Do the de­scribed procedures only at an ESD workstation. If no such station is avail­able, you can provide some ESD protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap and attaching it to a metal part of the computer chassis.
Safety Information
Before installing and using the device, note the following precautions:
Read all instructions carefully. ▪ Do not place the unit on an unstable surface, cart, or stand. ▪ Follow all warnings and cautions in this manual. ▪ When replacing parts, ensure that your service technician uses parts ▪
specified by the manufacturer. Avoid using the system near water, in direct sunlight, or near a heating ▪
device. The load of the system unit does not solely rely for support from the ▪
rackmounts located on the sides. Firm support from the bottom is highly necessary in order to provide balance stability.
The computer is provided with a battery-powered real-time clock circuit. ▪ There is a danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufactur-
er. Discard used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Installation Recommendations
Ensure you have a stable, clean working environment. Dust and dirt can get into components and cause a malfunction. Use containers to keep small components separated.
Adequate lighting and proper tools can prevent you from accidentally damaging the internal components. Most of the procedures that follow require only a few simple tools, including the following:
A Philips screwdriver• A flat-tipped screwdriver• A grounding strap• An anti-static pad•
Using your fingers can disconnect most of the connections. It is recom­mended that you do not use needlenose pliers to disconnect connections as these can damage the soft metal or plastic parts of the connectors.

Chapter 2: Jumpers and Connectors
Ch a p t e r 2: Ju m p e r s a n d Co n n e C t o r s
This chapter describes how to set the jumpers and connectors on the motherboard.
Before You Begin
Ensure you have a stable, clean working environment. Dust and dirt can • get into components and cause a malfunction. Use containers to keep small components separated.
Adequate lighting and proper tools can prevent you from accidentally • damaging the internal components. Most of the procedures that follow require only a few simple tools, including the following:
A Philips screwdriver • A flat-tipped screwdriver • A set of jewelers Screwdrivers • A grounding strap • An anti-static pad •
Using your fingers can disconnect most of the connections. It is recom-• mended that you do not use needle-nosed pliers to disconnect connec­tions as these can damage the soft metal or plastic parts of the connec­tors.
Before working on internal components, make sure that the power • is off. Ground yourself before touching any internal components, by touching a metal object. Static electricity can damage many of the elec-
tronic components. Humid environment tend to have less static electric-
ity than dry environments. A grounding strap is warranted whenever
danger of static electricity exists.
Precautions
Computer components and electronic circuit boards can be damaged by discharges of static electricity. Working on the computers that are still con­nected to a power supply can be extremely dangerous.
Follow the guidelines below to avoid damage to your computer or your­self:
Always disconnect the unit from the power outlet whenever you are •
working inside the case.
If possible, wear a grounded wrist strap when you are working inside •
the computer case. Alternatively, discharge any static electricity by
touching the bare metal chassis of the unit case, or the bare metal body
of any other grounded appliance.
Hold electronic circuit boards by the edges only. Do not touch the com-com-•
ponents on the board unless it is necessary to do so. Don’t flex or stress
the circuit board.
Leave all components inside the static-proof packaging that they •
shipped with until they are ready for installation.
Use correct screws and do not over tighten screws.•

Chapter 2: Jumpers and Connectors
Jumper Settings
A jumper is the simplest kind of electric switch. It consists of two metal pins and a cap. When setting the jumpers, ensure that the jumper caps are placed on the correct pins. When the jumper cap is placed on both pins, the jumper is short. If you remove the jumper cap, or place the jumper cap on just one pin, the jumper is open.
Refer to the illustrations below for examples of what the 2-pin and 3-pin jumpers look like when they are short (on) and open (off).
Two-Pin Jumpers: Open (Left) and Short (Right)
Three-Pin Jumpers: Pins 1 and 2 Are Short

Removing the Chassis Cover
Prior to removing the chassis cover, make sure the unit’s power is off and disconnected from the power sources to prevent electric shock or system damage.
This chapter will guide you on installing the SODIMM, SATA drive and CompactFlash card. You need to remove the bottom cover to access the SODIMM socket, SATA cables and CompactFlash socket.
1. With the bottom side of the chassis facing up, remove the mounting
screws of the bottom cover and then put them in a safe place for later use.
2. Lift up the cover and remove it from the chassis.

This chapter describes how to use the BIOS setup program for NISE 101. The BIOS screens in this chapter are for reference only and may change if the BIOS is updated in the future.
To check for the latest updates and revisions, visit the NEXCOM Web site at www.nexcom.com.tw.
About BIOS Setup
The BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) Setup program is a menu driv­en utility that enables you to make changes to the system configuration and tailor your system to suit your individual work needs. It is a ROM­based configuration utility that displays the system’s configuration status and provides you with a tool to set system parameters.
These parameters are stored in non-volatile battery-backed-up CMOS RAM that saves this information even when the power is turned off. When the system is turned back on, the system is configured with the values found in CMOS.
With easy-to-use pull down menus, you can configure such items as:
Hard drives, diskette drives, and peripherals • Video display type and display options• Password protection from unauthorized use• Power management features•
The settings made in the setup program intimately affect how the com­puter performs. It is important, therefore, first to try to understand all the Setup options, and second, to make settings appropriate for the way you use the computer.
When to Configure the BIOS
This program should be executed under the following conditions:
When changing the system configuration•
When a configuration error is detected by the system and you are • prompted to make changes to the Setup program
When resetting the system clock•
When redefining the communication ports to prevent any conflicts•
When making changes to the Power Management configuration•
When changing the password or making other changes to the security • setup
Normally, CMOS setup is needed when the system hardware is not con­sistent with the information contained in the CMOS RAM, whenever the CMOS RAM has lost power, or the system features need to be changed.

Chapter 4: BIOS Setup
Entering Setup
When the system is powered on, the BIOS will enter the Power-On Self Test (POST) routines. These routines perform various diagnostic checks; if an error is encountered, the error will be reported in one of two different ways:
If the error occurs before the display device is initialized, a series of • beeps will be transmitted.
If the error occurs after the display device is initialized, the screen will • display the error message.
Powering on the computer and immediately pressing <Del> allows you to enter Setup. Another way to enter Setup is to power on the computer and wait for the following message during the POST:
TO ENTER SETUP BEFORE BOOT PRESS <CTRL-ALT-ESC> Press the <Del> key to enter Setup:

Once you enter Award BIOS CMOS Setup Utility, the Main Menu will ap­pear on screen. The main menu allows you to select from eight setup func­tions and two exit choices. Use the arrow keys to select among the items and press <Enter> to accept or enter the sub-menu.

On-Chip Primary/Secondary PCI IDE
These fields are used to enable or disable the primary or secondary IDE controller. The default is Enabled. Select Disabled if you want to add a different hard drive controller.
IDE Primary Master/Slave PIO and IDE Secondary Master/Slave PIO
PIO means Programmed Input/Output. Rather than have the BIOS issue a series of commands to effect a transfer to or from the disk drive, PIO allows the BIOS to tell the controller what it wants and then let the controller and the CPU perform the complete task by themselves. Your system supports five modes, 0 (default) to 4, which primarily differ in timing. When Auto is selected, the BIOS will select the best available mode after checking your drive.
Auto
The BIOS will automatically set the system according to your hard disk drive’s timing.
Mode 0-4
You can select a mode that matches your hard disk drive’s tim­ing. Caution: Do not use the wrong setting or you will have drive errors.
IDE Primary Master/Slave UDMA and IDE Secondary Master/ Slave UDMA
These fields allow you to set the Ultra DMA in use. When Auto is selected, the BIOS will select the best available option after checking your hard drive or CD-ROM.

Power Management Setup
Power Management Setup lets you control the system power. The system has various power-saving modes — including powering down the hard disk, turning off the video, suspending to RAM, and software power down — that allows the system to automatically resume by certain events.
The power-saving modes can be controlled by timeouts. If the system is inactive for a time, the timeouts begin counting. If inactivity continues and reaches the defined timeout period, the system enters a power saving mode. If any item in the list of Reload Global Timer Events is enabled, then any activity on that item will reset the timeout counters to zero.
If the system is suspended or has been powered down by software, it can be resumed by a wake up call that is generated by incoming traffic to a modem, a LAN card, a PCI card, or a fixed alarm on the system real-time clock.

Appendix C: Watchdog Timer Setting
Ap p e n d i x C: WA t C h d o g ti m e r Se t t i n g
The NISB101’s onboard watchdog timer uses an 8-bit counter; therefore it has 256 resolution and the time range is from 1 to 255 seconds with a resolution of per second or 1 to 255 minutes with a resolution of per minute.
When the timer is setting and time-out occurs, it will trigger the hardware reset signal and a system reset will happen.
The NISB101’s onboard watchdog timer function is carried out by the ITE IT8712F I/O chip. If you want to use this function in your program, you have to know how to read/write the IT8712F configuration register. The onboard IT8712F I/O chip’s decode address is 02Eh, its index port and data port is 02Fh. The read/write register methods are write register number to index port, then read/write data from/to data port.
The following describes how to program the IT8712F register and the procedure of using watchdog function.
To program the IT8712F register:
1. Unlock the IT8712F I/O chip and enter the configuration mode.
2. Select Logical Device.
3. Select the register number.
4. Read/Write data from/to register.
5. Lock the IT8712F I/O chip and exit from the configuration mode.
To Unlock/Lock IT8712F and Enter/Exit the configuration mode is to write a specific value to I/O Port 02Eh.
Unlock IT8712F: contiue write value 87h, 01h, 55h, 55h to I/O port 02Eh. Lock IT8712F: write value 02h to I/O port 02Fh.
Program watchdog procedure:
1. Unlock the IT8712F I/O chip and enter the configuration mode.
write unlock value (87h,01h,55h,55h) to port 02Eh
ex: outportb(0x2E, 0x87); outportb(0x2E, 0x01); outportb(0x2E, 0x55); outportb(0x2E, 0x55);
2. Select the logical device to 7
write value (07h) to register number 07h
ex: outportb(0x02E, 0x07); outportb(0x02F, 0x07);
61
NISE 101 User Manual
Appendix C: Watchdog Timer Setting
3. Set watchdog timer time-out output as KRST pin (72h).
Register number 72h bit 6 40h : KRST enable (bit 6 = 1) 00h : KRST disable (bit 6 = 0)
ex: outportb(0x02E, 0x072); outportb(0x02F, (inportb(0x2F) | 40h));
4. Set watchdog timer count mode (second or minute) to register (72h).
Register number 72h bit 7 80h : second mode (bit 7 = 1) 00h : minute mode (bit 7 = 0)
ex: outportb(0x02E, 0x072); outportb(0x02F, (inportb(0x2F) | 80h));
5. Write time-out value (01h ~ FFh) to timer register (73h).
Register number 73h 00h : Time-out Disable 01h : Time-out occurs after 1 second or minute 02h : Time-out occurs after 2 seconds or minutes 03h : Time-out occurs after 3 seconds or minutes 04h : Time-out occurs after 4 seconds or minutes 05h : Time-out occurs after 5 seconds or minutes FFh : Time-out occurs after 255 seconds or minutes
6. Lock the IT8712F I/O chip, exit the configuration mode
write lock value (02h) to port 02Eh
ex: outportb(0x02E, 0x02);
The following shows two examples of programming the watchdog timer with 10 seconds time interval in both Micro-assembly and C language.
