This chapter describes how to set the jumpers on the motherboard. Note
that the following procedures are generic for NSA 5130.
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 electricity 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-
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.
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).
The figure on the right is the NSB 5130 main board which is the main board used in the NSA 5130 system. It shows the locations of the jumpers and connectors.
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.
1. The 6 screws around the cover are used to secure the cover to the
chassis. Remove these screws and put them in a safe place for later
use.
3. Note how the module is keyed to the socket. Grasping the module by
its edges, align the module with the socket so that the “notch” on the
module is aligned with the “key” on the socket. The key ensures the
module can be plugged into the socket in only one direction.
4. Seat the module vertically, pressing it down firmly until it is completely
seated in the socket. The ejector tabs at the ends of the socket will automatically snap into the locked position to hold the module in place.

• Before you proceed, make sure (1) the CPU socket comes with
a protective cap, (2) the cap is not damaged and (3) the socket’s
contact pins are not bent.
• Make sure all power cables are unplugged before you install the
CPU.
• The CPU socket must not come in contact with anything other
than the CPU. Avoid unnecessary exposure. Remove the protective cap only when you are about to install the CPU.
3. Unlock the socket by pushing the load lever down (1), moving it sideways (2) until it is released from the retention tab; then lift the load
lever up.

This chapter describes how to use the BIOS setup program for the NSA
5130. The BIOS screens provided 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 ROM-based
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 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.
Most of the configuration settings are either predefined according to
the Load Optimal Defaults settings which are stored in the BIOS or are
automatically detected and configured without requiring any actions.
There are a few settings that you may need to change depending on your
system configuration.
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:

NSA 5130 features a watchdog timer that resets the CPU or generates an
interrupt if the processor stops operating for any reason. This feature ensures system reliability in industrial standalone or unmanned environments.
Set pin 89 as a WDTO output. Write ‘0’ to CR2B[4].
2. Clear timeout status. Write ‘0’ to LD8 CRF7[4].
3. Set the timeout value. Meanwhile the timer will start to count down.
4. Write a value to LD8 CRF6. When a timeout occurs, pin 89 will become
active (high level).
5. CRF6 must be 0x0. Write another 0x00 to CRF6 (timeout disable) even
though it is already 0x00. Clear the timeout status. Write ‘0’ to LD8
CRF7[4]. pin 89 will fall at the same time.
CRFC6 (Default 0x00)
Watchdog Timer Time-out Value
Writing a non-zero value to this register causes the counter to load the
value to Watchdog Counter and start counting down. If Bit 7 and Bit 6 are
set, any Mouse Interrupt or Keyboard Interrupt event will also cause the
reload of previously-loaded non-zero value to Watchdog Counter and start
counting down. Reading this register returns current value in Watchdog
Counter.

This appendix provides definitions for the four GPI/O pins on NSA 5130.
GPI/O (General Purpose Input/Output) pins are provided for custom system
design. The pin programmed as input mode (GPI) or output mode (GPO)
depends on the configuration.
