2.1 Safety Precautions
Always completely disconnect the power cord
from your board whenever you are working on
it. Do not make connections while the power is
on, because a sudden rush of power can
damage sensitive electronic components.
Always ground yourself to remove any static
charge before touching the board. Modern
electronic devices are very sensitive to static
electric charges. Use a grounding wrist strap at
all times. Place all electronic components on a
static-dissipative surface or in a static-shielded
bag when they are not in the chassis

2.2 A Quick Tour of the ONYX-1722/1922
Before you start to set up the ONYX-1722/1922, take a moment to
become familiar with the locations and purposes of the controls,
drives, connections and ports, which are illustrated in the figures
below.
When you place the ONYX-1722/1922 upright on the desktop, its
front panel appears as shown in Picture 2-1.
Picture 2-1: Front View of the Medical Station
When you turn the Medical Station around and look at its rear cover,
the sunken I/O section is at the bottom of the station, as shown in
Picture 2-2. (The I/O section includes various I/O ports, including
DC-in, Serial ports, VGA, PS2, Ethernet, USB.) Only assemble with
the Mini PCI capture card; the S-Video in function will work. The
medical Station integrates with WLAN function by using Mini PCI.

Chapter 3 Award BIOS Setup 3-1
Medical Station ONYX-1722/1922
3.1 System Test and Initialization
These routines test and initialize board hardware. If the routines
encounter an error during the tests, you will either hear a few short
beeps or see an error message on the screen. There are two kinds
of errors: fatal and non-fatal. The system can usually continue the
boot up sequence with non-fatal errors. Non-fatal error messages
usually appear on the screen along with the following instructions:
Press <F1> to RESUME
Write down the message and press the F1 key to continue
the boot up sequence.
System configuration verification
These routines check the current system configuration against the
values stored in the CMOS memory. If they do not match, the
program outputs an error message. You will then need to run the
BIOS setup program to set the configuration information in memory.
There are three situations in which you will need to change the
CMOS settings:
1. You are starting your system for the first time
2. You have changed the hardware attached to your system
3. The CMOS memory has lost power and the configuration
information has been erased.
The ONYX-1722/1922 CMOS memory has an integral lithium
battery backup for data retention. However, you will need to replace
the complete unit when it finally runs down.

Appendix A Programming the Watchdog Timer A-1
Medical Station ONYX-1722/1922
A.1 Programming
ONYX-1722/1922 utilizes ITE 8712 chipset as its watchdog timer
controller. Below are the procedures to complete its configuration
and the AAEON intial watchdog timer program is also attached
based on which you can develop customized program to fit your
application.
Configuring Sequence Description
After the hardware reset or power-on reset, the ITE 8712 enters the
normal mode with all logical devices disabled except KBC. The
initial state (enable bit ) of this logical device (KBC) is determined
by the state of pin 121 (DTR1#) at the falling edge of the system
reset during power-on reset.
There are three steps to complete the configuration setup: (1) Enter
the MB PnP Mode; (2) Modify the data of configuration registers; (3)
Exit the MB PnP Mode. Undesired result may occur if the MB PnP
Mode is not exited normally.
Appendix A Programming the Watchdog Timer A-2
Medical Station ONYX-1722/1922
(1) Enter the MB PnP Mode
To enter the MB PnP Mode, four special I/O write operations are to
be performed during Wait for Key state. To ensure the initial state of
the key-check logic, it is necessary to perform four write opera -tions
to the Special Address port (2EH). Two different enter keys are
provided to select configuration ports (2Eh/2Fh) of the next
step
(2) Modify the Data of the Registers
All configuration registers can be accessed after entering the MB
PnP Mode. Before accessing a selected register, the content of
Index 07h must be changed to the LDN to which the register
belongs, except some Global registers.
(3) Exit the MB PnP Mode
Set bit 1 of the configure control register (Index=02h) to 1 to exit the
MB PnP Mode.
WatchDog Timer Configuration Registers
Configure Control (Index=02h)
This register is write only. Its values are not sticky; that is to say, a
hardware reset will automatically clear the bits, and does not
require the software to clear them.

C.1 General Cleaning Tips
You may need the following precautions before you begin to clean
the computer. When you clean any single part or component for the
computer, please read and understand the details below fully.
1. Never spray or squirt the liquids directly onto any computer
component. If you need to clean the device, please rub it
with a piece of dry cloth.
2. Be cautious of the tiny removable components when you
use a vacuum cleaner to absorb the dirt on the floor.
3. Turn the system off before you start to clean up the
component or computer.
4. Never drop the components inside the computer or get
circuit board damp or wet.
5. Be cautious of all kinds of cleaning solvents or chemicals

C.2 Cleaning tools
Although many companies have created products to help improve
the process of cleaning your computer and peripherals users can
also use household items to clean their computers and peripherals.
Below is a listing of items you may need or want to use while
cleaning your computer or computer peripherals.
Keep in mind that some components in your computer may only be
able to be cleaned using a product designed for cleaning that
component, if this is the case it will be mentioned in the cleaning
tips.
• Cloth - A piece of cloth is the best tool to use when rubbing
up a component. Although paper towels or tissues can be
used on most hardware as well, we still recommend you to
rub it with a piece of cloth.
• Water or rubbing alcohol – You may moisten a piece of
cloth a bit with some water or rubbing alcohol and rub it on
the computer. Unknown solvents may be harmful to the
plastics parts.
• Vacuum cleaner - Absorb the dust, dirt, hair, cigarette
particles, and other particles out of a computer can be one
of the best methods of cleaning a computer. Over time
these items can restrict the airflow in a computer and cause
circuitry to corrode.
